Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen appliances primarily utilize cooking equipment to process ingredients through specific methods such as steaming, grilling, smoking, frying, and deep-frying. For example, steaming works by continuously supplying high-temperature steam to the inner chamber containing the food, thus cooking it through pure steaming. Grilling uses circulating hot air to cook the food by continuously supplying circulating hot air to the inner chamber containing the food, thus cooking it through hot air grilling. Smoking works by continuously supplying the inner chamber containing the food with a cooking medium based on smoke, thus cooking it through smoke. The flavor of smoked or grilled foods varies depending on the smoking material used.

[0003] Taking the smoking and grilling method as an example, it is currently mainly achieved by directly installing a separate external device onto the cooking equipment. Because smoking and grilling mechanisms involve many functional modules, they often occupy a significant amount of space. Especially in situations where there are strict limitations on installation space, such as embedded installations, problems such as difficulty in installation and compromised reliability of the smoking and grilling function often arise. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application is made in order to solve at least some of the above-mentioned technical problems and / or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a cooking device, which includes: a cooking body including a housing and an inner liner, the housing and the inner liner forming a receiving space, the inner liner forming a cooking chamber; and a smoking mechanism including a smoking component, the smoke vent of the smoking component being able to communicate with the cooking chamber; wherein, the receiving space includes a first receiving subspace and a second receiving subspace, the first receiving subspace and the second receiving subspace being able to communicate, and at least a portion of the smoking component being disposed within the first receiving subspace.

[0006] With this configuration, the smoking function of the cooking equipment can be achieved by directly generating smoke as a cooking medium in the non-inner chamber and directly releasing the smoke into the cooking chamber.

[0007] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, construction method, location, relative position, and connection method of the first / second accommodating subspace according to actual needs. For example, the structures of the first and second accommodating subspaces can be the same or different, the first / second accommodating subspaces can be centrally located or placed in different locations, and their connection method can be direct connection or indirect connection via intermediate structures such as waste conveying pipes. The connection can be continuous or switchable (e.g., depending on the specific circumstances, the two can be connected or blocked). For example, the first / second accommodating subspace can be located at the top or side of the cooking body. Taking the side as an example, it could be located near the edge, near the corner, or roughly covering the entire side.

[0008] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, connection location, number of connection points, and connection method of the smoke outlet and cooking chamber of the grilling component according to actual needs. For example, the structural form can be a hole, pipe, mesh, etc., the connection location can be located near the center or in other locations outside the center, the connection points can be single-point connections or multi-point connections, and the connection method between the two can include, but is not limited to:

[0009] (1) At least a portion of the structure of the smoking assembly corresponding to the smoke outlet extends into and is thus in communication with the cooking chamber;

[0010] (2) The structure of the smoking component corresponding to the smoke outlet is still within the containment space, such as by directly aligning it with the opening reserved in the inner liner to make it connect with the cooking chamber;

[0011] (3) The structure of the smoking component corresponding to the smoke outlet is still within the containment space, such as by connecting the smoke outlet to the cooking chamber through a pipe or other docking structure.

[0012] It is understood that, given the ability to release fumes as a cooking medium into the cooking chamber, those skilled in the art can employ any reasonable smoking components. For example, the structure for generating smoke, the temperature / speed of smoke generation, and the direction of smoke generation can all be selected according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0013] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, a partition structure is provided within the accommodating space, wherein the housing, the inner liner, and the outer wall of the partition structure form the first accommodating space; wherein the inner wall of the partition structure forms the second accommodating space, or the inner wall of the partition structure and the housing and / or the inner liner form the second accommodating space.

[0014] This configuration provides possible ways to construct the first / second containment subspace.

[0015] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the partition structure, the number of its components, and how it and the inner liner / box are constructed to form two accommodating subspaces, etc., according to actual needs. For example, the partition structure can be a box-shaped structure, a structure with an open top or sides, or any reasonable irregular shape, etc.

[0016] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, the partition structure is provided with a third connecting structure, through which the first accommodating space can communicate with the second accommodating space; and / or the smoking assembly includes: a smoking base having a combustion chamber; and a first connecting structure disposed on the smoking base; the first accommodating space can communicate with the second accommodating space through the first connecting structure. The partition structure is provided with a third connecting structure, through which the first accommodating space can communicate with the second accommodating space; and / or the smoking assembly includes: a smoking base having a combustion chamber; and a first connecting structure disposed on the smoking base; the first accommodating space can communicate with the second accommodating space through the first connecting structure.

[0017] With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve communication between the first accommodating subspace and the second accommodating subspace through the first connecting structure and / or the third connecting structure. For example, the first / third connecting structure can connect holes, grids, slits, and other structures that enable material discharge.

[0018] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, the smoking mechanism is equipped with a waste collection structure, to which waste generated by the smoking components can be collected, wherein the waste collection structure can be located in at least a portion of the second accommodating space.

[0019] This configuration allows for the timely collection of waste generated during combustion, ensuring the sustainable operation of the smoking and grilling facility.

[0020] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the waste collection structure and its relative position to the containing space according to actual needs. For example, the waste collection structure may include, but is not limited to, containers such as boxes / buckets for directly collecting waste, or containers into which water or other media can be added. Wherein, "the waste collection structure can be located in at least a part of the second containing space" may include, but is not limited to:

[0021] (1) The waste collection structure can be continuously fully or partially contained within the second containment space;

[0022] (2) The waste collection structure is fully or partially contained in the second receiving space in a movable manner, such as by means of sliding, rotating, lifting or other movements. For example, it is installed in the second receiving space by direct containment or by means of a sliding rail or other mechanism in a push-pull manner.

[0023] Furthermore, the first / second accommodating subspace can accommodate other structures of the smoking mechanism or other structures of cooking equipment outside the smoking mechanism, while simultaneously accommodating the smoking assembly / waste collection structure. For example, the wastewater collection assembly (corresponding to the smoking function) and the wastewater box (corresponding to the steaming function) can be accommodating in the second accommodating subspace in a replaceable manner.

[0024] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, the smoking and roasting mechanism includes a feeding component, which includes a storage structure having a smoking material holding cavity, wherein the smoking material in the smoking material holding cavity can be fed into the smoking and roasting component; wherein at least a portion of the storage structure is fixedly disposed within the first receiving subspace; or at least a portion of the storage structure is movably disposed within the first receiving subspace.

[0025] This configuration allows for the delivery of the smoking material to the smoking components after it has reached the storage structure.

[0026] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the storage structure, its location / method in the accommodating space, and the method of feeding it into the storage space according to actual needs. For example, the storage structure can be any structure capable of holding smoked materials, such as a box-shaped structure or a disc-shaped structure with an open area on the top / side. The smoked material holding cavity can include one or more chambers, which can be connected to each other or independent of each other.

[0027] The fumigating material can be delivered to the storage structure from the outside in a direct or indirect manner. Specifically, the fumigating material can be delivered directly to the fumigating material holding chamber through the delivery port on the storage structure, or it can be delivered indirectly to the fumigating material holding chamber through an intermediate structure that can communicate with the outside.

[0028] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, the storage structure includes: a storage base; a second connecting structure disposed in the storage base; wherein the first accommodating subspace is connected to the second accommodating subspace via the second connecting structure.

[0029] With this configuration, it is possible to achieve communication between the first and second accommodating subspaces through the second connecting structure. Similar to the aforementioned first connecting structure, the second connecting structure can be a connecting hole, a connecting grid, a connecting slot, or other structures that enable material discharge.

[0030] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking equipment, the feeding component includes: a feeding structure that can communicate with the storage structure, through which the smoking material can be delivered to the storage structure; and / or a transmission structure disposed in the storage structure, through which the smoking material in the storage chamber can be delivered to the smoking component; and / or a connecting structure, through which the smoking material in the smoking material storage chamber can be delivered to the smoking component.

[0031] By setting up the feeding structure, it is possible to indirectly deliver the smoking material to the smoking material holding cavity through the feeding structure that is connected to the outside of the cooking equipment.

[0032] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, connection method between the feeding structure and the external space of the storage structure / cooking equipment, and relative position of the feeding structure according to actual needs. For example, regarding the structural form, the feeding structure can be a structure with an upstream side higher than the downstream side, such as a ramp / pipe, or a structure with a transmission mechanism (in which case the heights of the upstream and downstream sides can be approximately the same). Regarding the connection method, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, and specific connection position of the connecting structure according to time requirements. Regarding the relative position, the two structures can be approximately level or have a certain difference in dimensions in the height, front-to-back, and / or width directions. For example, the feeding structure is in front, the storage structure is behind, and there is a certain height difference between them. For example, at least a portion of the feeding structure is higher than the storage structure.

[0033] By designing the transmission structure, it is possible to ensure that the smoking material reliably reaches the smoking components.

[0034] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form, number, and position / setting method of the transmission structure within the storage structure according to actual needs. For example, it can be located on the side or bottom of the storage cavity. Taking the bottom as an example, it can be located entirely inside the storage cavity or partially inside. Again, taking the bottom as an example, the fumigation material can be conveyed through any reasonable method such as a slide rail, belt drive, or chain drive.

[0035] By setting up a connecting structure, it is possible to reliably connect the feeding component and the smoking component.

[0036] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, and specific connection method between the connecting structure and the upstream feeding component and the downstream smoking component according to actual needs. For example, the connecting structure can be a structure with a guiding function, such as a ramp, or the connection function between the feeding component and the smoking component can be achieved by configuring a transmission mechanism.

[0037] In one possible implementation of the above-described cooking device, the housing and the inner liner form the accommodating space at a position corresponding to the side of the cooking body.

[0038] This configuration allows the cooking equipment to achieve its smoking and roasting function through a separate method of side feeding and independent combustion within the cooking chamber.

[0039] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned cooking device, the cooking device includes: a door assembly movably disposed on the cooking body, and the door assembly being capable of at least covering the opening side of the inner pot.

[0040] This configuration illustrates possible arrangements of the door assembly on the cooking body. For example, in addition to the opening side of the inner pot, it can also cover at least a portion of the accommodating space. Examples include, but are not limited to:

[0041] (1) The door assembly can simultaneously cover the opening side of the inner liner, the first accommodating subspace, and the second accommodating subspace;

[0042] (2) The door assembly can completely cover one of the first receiving subspace and the second receiving subspace, for example, covering the first receiving subspace;

[0043] (3) The door assembly covers a portion of either the first or second accommodating subspace. For example, it covers the left side of the first accommodating subspace, while the right side is a normally closed structure or configured with other detachable / openable structures. In a specific example, the first and / or second accommodating subspaces are opened and closed via double doors to enable material feeding and / or waste removal operations.

[0044] In one possible implementation of the cooking device described above, the door assembly is capable of covering the opening side of the inner pot, and the accommodating space is configured with at least one removable or movable cover.

[0045] With this configuration, the open / closed state of the inner liner and the containing space (at least a portion thereof) can be switched by combining the door assembly with the cover.

[0046] Taking the aforementioned accommodating space, which includes a first accommodating sub-space and a second accommodating sub-space, as an example, one (or more) covers can be configured for each of the first and second accommodating sub-spaces, or one (or more) covers can be configured for both the first and second accommodating sub-spaces. The structure of the multiple covers can be a double-door structure, etc. The covers can be installed in the accommodating space in a removable manner, such as by snap-fit ​​or screw connection, or by means of circumferential rotation or horizontal / vertical flipping. For example, the first accommodating sub-space is equipped with a removable cover, and the structure corresponding to the second accommodating sub-space is integrally formed / fixedly connected to the box / waste collection structure (which can be considered part of the box / waste collection structure).

[0071] Preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. For example, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with a cooking device that only has a smoking and grilling function, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can apply this application to other application scenarios without departing from the principles of this application. For example, ovens, steam ovens, and other cooking devices that also have other cooking functions. Furthermore, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with a smoking and grilling component with a specific structure, it is obvious that those skilled in the art can flexibly select its structure according to actual needs. For example, the smoking and grilling component can be a module of any structural form with basic functions such as holding smoking materials, heating smoking materials, and releasing smoke.

[0072] It should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The singular forms of the terms "a" and "this" may also include plural forms.

[0073] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" 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 or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0074] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can still be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, principles well-known to those skilled in the art, such as the principles of smoking, are not described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0075] For example, the cooking equipment is installed in the kitchen using a recessed mounting method. In a specific example, the cooking equipment is installed in a kitchen cabinet below the stove. This application aims to configure a grilling function for a recessed cooking equipment. Alternatively, a grilling function can be added to a cooking equipment that already has other cooking functions. Of course, the cooking equipment can also be placed in any location (e.g., externally).

[0076] Main reference Figures 1 to 3 In one possible implementation, the cooking device 100 includes a cooking body 1 and a grilling mechanism 2 disposed in the cooking body 1. The cooking body 1 includes a housing 11 and an inner liner 12 disposed in the housing 11. The housing 11 and the inner liner 12 form a receiving space 13 at a position corresponding to the side of the cooking body 1. The inner liner 12 forms a cooking chamber 121. The smoking and grilling mechanism 2 includes a feeding component 21 and a smoking and grilling component 22. The feeding component 21 has a smoking material holding cavity 2121 for holding smoking material. The feeding component 21 and the smoking and grilling component 22 (most of which) are housed in the receiving space 13. The smoking and grilling mechanism 2 can cook food placed in the cooking chamber 121. Specifically, after the smoking material in the feeding component 21 is delivered to the smoking and grilling component 22, the smoking and grilling component 22 can generate smoke as a cooking medium. After the smoke is delivered to the inner liner through the smoke outlet 223, the food placed in the cooking chamber 121 can be cooked by smoking or by a method involving smoking. In this example, the structure of the smoking and grilling component corresponding to the position of the smoke outlet extends into the inner liner and thus delivers the smoke to the inner liner (this part of the structure is not housed in the receiving space).

[0077] For example, shelves can be provided inside the inner pot 12, allowing food to be placed directly on the shelves or in containers (such as plates) placed on the shelves. In this example, multiple shelf mounting positions are provided inside the inner pot 12 so that the shelves can be placed at different heights within the inner pot 12. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the specific form of the shelf mounting positions according to actual needs, such as support frames, support columns, etc. Clearly, a single-layer shelf mounting structure can also be used.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the grilling mechanism 2 further includes an air intake structure and an air exhaust structure. The air intake structure (in this example, the feeding component can also serve as the air intake structure) is connected to both the external environment and the cooking chamber 121. The air intake structure is primarily used to supply the cooking chamber 121 with the air (oxygen) needed to generate smoke. The air exhaust structure (not shown) is primarily used to exhaust the gas from the cooking chamber 121 to ensure the sustainability of the cooking process.

[0079] For example, the gas venting structure includes a gas outlet, at which an opening and closing mechanism such as a valve or a wax motor may be configured to discharge gas from the cooking chamber 121 as needed. For example, the gas venting structure may also include a purification component, such as a component that can purify the discharged gas before discharging it outside the cooking appliance 100.

[0080] Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form and location of the air intake / exhaust structure according to actual needs. For example, it can be located on the side, back, or other positions of the cooking body 1, and the structural form can be a channel, hole, valve, etc. In addition, the air intake structure and the feeding structure 211 can be partially integrated or independent of each other.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the feeding assembly 21 includes a feeding structure 211 and a storage structure 212, with a smoke material holding cavity 2121 formed in the storage structure 212. The user can directly feed the smoke material into the feeding structure 211. After feeding, the smoke material can reach the smoke material holding cavity 2121 via the feeding structure 211. In this example, the feeding structure 211 is located above the storage structure 212. The feeding structure 211 is generally a feeding channel with a certain slope (sloping downwards from the upstream side to the downstream side). The storage structure 212 is generally a box-shaped structure with an open area at the top that can communicate with the feeding structure 211. Thus, with the help of the slope, the smoke material is naturally fed into the smoke material holding cavity 2121 under the action of gravity.

[0082] More specifically, as in this example, the feeding structure 211 includes a ramp portion and a vertical portion, the vertical portion being connected to the storage structure 212 near its rear. Clearly, those skilled in the art can determine the structural forms of the feeding structure 211 and the storage structure 212, their relative positions, and the structures upon which feeding depends, based on actual needs.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the storage structure 212 is equipped with a transmission structure 213. For example, in this example, the bottom of the storage structure 212 is equipped with a transmission structure 213 capable of conveying smoke material horizontally (from back to front). For instance, the transmission structure 213 conveys the smoke material via belt drive. Clearly, the structural form of the transmission structure 213 and its specific transmission method can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. For example, the smoke material can be conveyed from the feeding position to the infeeding position using any reasonable method such as chain drive or rotation.

[0084] The smoking material holding chamber 2121 of the feeding component 21 may include one or more holding sub-chambers. In the case of multiple holding sub-chambers, different types of smoking materials can be placed into different holding sub-chambers, thereby achieving a smoking mode with richer flavor.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the smoking assembly 22 mainly includes a smoking base 221, which includes a combustion chamber 222. The combustion chamber 222 heats the fuel delivered therein, thereby generating smoke as a cooking medium. Thus, after the smoking material contained in the feeding assembly 21 is delivered to the combustion chamber 222, on the one hand, the smoking material burns in the combustion chamber 222 to generate smoke, which is then released into the cooking chamber 121 through the smoke outlet 223, thereby cooking the food in the cooking chamber 121 by smoking or a method involving smoking. On the other hand, the waste generated from fuel combustion is delivered to the waste collection structure 23 via a first connecting structure 224 at the bottom of the smoking base 221. As in this example, the first connecting structure 224 includes multiple connecting holes, and the waste collection structure 23 is generally a box-shaped structure. Water can be added to the waste collection structure to ensure that waste falling into the waste collection structure does not contaminate other areas (e.g., soot drifts to other locations).

[0086] In one possible implementation, the feeding assembly 21 further includes a connecting structure 214, through which the smoking material arriving at the smoking material holding cavity 2121 can reach the combustion chamber 222 of the smoking assembly 22. In this example, the connecting structure 214 is generally a ramp extending vertically, with its upstream end connecting to the end of the transmission structure and its downstream end connecting to the combustion chamber 222. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the connecting structure 214 and the method of connecting the combustion chamber and the transmission structure according to actual needs. Similar to the aforementioned material storage structure 212, the connecting structure 214 and / or the feeding structure 211 can be configured with a mechanism having a transmission and conveying function.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the cooking body includes a partition structure 14 disposed in the receiving space 13 and thus dividing the receiving space 13 into a first receiving sub-space 131 and a second receiving sub-space 132. As in this example, the partition structure is generally a box-shaped structure and is located in a local area approximately below and forward of the receiving space. The first receiving sub-space 131 is formed between the outer wall of the partition structure, the box body, and the inner liner, and the second receiving sub-space 132 is formed on the inner wall of the partition structure. The first receiving subspace 131 mainly includes a first part 1311 located above the second receiving subspace 132 and a second part 1312 located behind the second receiving subspace 132. In this example, the heights of the first receiving subspace 131 and the second receiving subspace 132 are approximately the same. The feeding component 21, the smoking component 22 (most of which), and the connecting structure 214 are located in the first part 1311 above the first receiving subspace 131, and the waste collection structure 23 is located in the second receiving subspace 132. The projections of the feeding component 21, the smoking component 22 (most of which), and the connecting structure 214 in the horizontal plane overlap with the second part 1312, thereby ensuring smooth feeding of the smoking material and sufficient material storage. Other structures of the smoking mechanism or other structures besides the smoking mechanism can be set in the second part.

[0088] In one possible implementation, a second connecting structure 2122 is provided at the bottom of the storage structure 212, and a third connecting structure 141 is provided above the second receiving subspace 132. In this example, the second connecting structure 2122 includes multiple slots, and a protruding structure 142 is provided at the top of the partition structure 14 forming the second receiving subspace 132. The third connecting structure 141 is located on the protruding structure 142. In this way, it can serve as a carrier for the storage structure while achieving connectivity. The vertical positions of the first, second, and third connecting structures should roughly correspond to ensure that waste can reliably fall into the waste collection structure. Obviously, the structural forms of the first, second, and third connecting structures can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, the third connecting structure can be a large connecting hole, slots, or other structures, and the third connecting structure is located at a position roughly flush with the top of the second receiving subspace.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the cooking device 100 includes a door assembly 3, which is movably disposed on the cooking body 1 and at least covers the opening side of the inner pot 12. As in this example, the inner pot 12 is located on the left side of the receiving space 13, and the door assembly 3 is disposed on the cooking body 1 in a manner that flips along the left vertical axis and covers the opening side of the inner pot 12. Exemplarily, the door assembly 3 includes a handle 31, which the user can grip to open / close the door assembly. The first receiving sub-space 131 and the second receiving sub-space 132 are respectively provided with a first cover 41 and a second cover 42, wherein the first cover 41 is removably disposed (e.g., snap-fit) on the housing 11 at the position corresponding to the first receiving sub-space 131, and the second cover 42 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the waste collection structure 23. In this way, the ingredients can be retrieved by the flipping motion of the door assembly 3, the smoking material can be added by removing the first cover plate 41, and the waste collection structure containing the second cover plate 42 can be pulled out from the second accommodating subspace 132 to clean up the generated waste in a timely manner.

[0090] Obviously, the combination of the door assembly 3, the first cover plate 41 and the second cover plate 42 described above is only an exemplary description. It can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the door assembly 3 can be flipped along the horizontal axis below to cover the inner liner 12, the first receiving sub-space 131 and the second receiving sub-space 132 at the same time.

[0091] As can be seen, in the preferred embodiment of this application, the cooking equipment is equipped with a smoking and grilling function through the establishment of the smoking and grilling mechanism. By separating the feeding component and the smoking and grilling component, optimization can be achieved for each functional module of the smoking and grilling mechanism. With a receiving space constructed on the side of the cooking body, the compactness of the smoking and grilling mechanism is improved by placing the feeding component, smoking and grilling component, and waste collection structure in different parts within this receiving space, thus well adapting to requirements such as embedded installation. Simultaneously, since the separate smoking and grilling mechanism is centrally located in a non-cooking chamber location (e.g., the smoking and grilling component and waste collection structure are both outside the cooking chamber), the cleanliness of the cooking equipment is ensured.

[0092] The technical solutions of this application have been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
