Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a drawer-type cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking appliances, such as electric ovens and microwave ovens, are equipped with a cooking cavity and a door assembly. After cooking, users open the door assembly and reach into the cooking cavity to remove the heated food. However, since the door assembly of existing cooking appliances is mostly located on the front and is hinged to the cooking cavity, users need to hold the food and move it horizontally a certain distance before reaching it out, which is inconvenient. In addition, if the temperature inside the cooking cavity is high, users may suffer burns when reaching into the cavity to remove food, affecting the user experience.

[0003] Drawer-type cooking appliances allow food to be pulled out of the cooking cavity along with the drawer (opening action), making it easy for users to take the cooked food directly from the drawer. Due to their convenience, drawer-type cooking appliances are gradually gaining market share. To achieve automatic drawer opening, existing drawer-type cooking appliances often use a motor that drives the drawer to open automatically.

[0004] However, existing drawer-type cooking appliances have defects in the structural components used to control the maximum door opening stroke. This results in a certain lag in the maximum door opening stroke, causing the motor to continue running even after the drawer has reached its maximum opening stroke, increasing the risk of damage to the motor or other door-related components. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a drawer-type cooking device to solve the problem of improper setting of structural components for controlling the maximum opening stroke in existing drawer-type cooking devices.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A drawer-type cooking device includes a cavity and a drawer, wherein the drawer is connected to the cavity in a front-to-back direction and is movable relative to the cavity. A sensing component is disposed on the front side of the cavity and a triggering component is disposed on the rear side of the drawer. When the drawer is moved to its maximum opening position, the triggering component can apply a magnetic force or project light onto the sensing component to trigger the sensing component.

[0008] Furthermore, the triggering component has a magnetic structure or a light source component, and the sensing component has a corresponding reed switch sensor or optocoupler sensor.

[0009] Furthermore, the drawer includes a door, a support frame, and a track assembly. The door is connected to the support frame, and the track assembly includes a fixed track and a movable track. The fixed track is connected to the cavity, and the movable track is connected to the door and / or the support frame. The movable track is connected to the fixed track and can slide along the fixed track.

[0010] Furthermore, the triggering component is connected to the side of the support frame away from the door body, and / or the triggering component is connected to the side of the movable rail away from the door body.

[0011] Furthermore, the triggering component includes a second mounting bracket and a trigger member, the trigger member being detachably connected to the second mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket being detachably connected to the side of the movable rail away from the door body.

[0012] Furthermore, the second assembly bracket is provided with an assembly part, and the trigger is engaged with the assembly part; the movable rail is provided with a slot and a first fixing hole, the second assembly bracket is provided with a second fixing hole, and the second assembly bracket is provided with a first arm on the side facing the movable rail, the first arm can pass through the slot and engage with the slot, and the second fixing hole and the first fixing hole can be assembled by fasteners.

[0028] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] To address the problem of improper structural component design for controlling the maximum door opening stroke in existing drawer-type cooking appliances, this embodiment proposes a drawer-type cooking appliance, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-5 As shown, the drawer-type cooking device includes a cavity 2 and a drawer 3. The drawer 3 is connected to the cavity 2 in a way that allows it to move relative to the cavity 2 in the front-back direction. A sensing component 6 is provided on the front side of the cavity 2, and a triggering component 7 is provided on the rear side of the drawer 3. When the drawer 3 moves to its maximum opening position, the triggering component 7 can apply a magnetic force or project light onto the sensing component 6 to trigger the sensing component 6.

[0032] It should be noted that the maximum opening stroke is the position corresponding to the maximum distance that drawer 3 moves forward in the cooking appliance.

[0033] Therefore, this application, while maintaining the structure of a conventional drawer-type cooking device, only needs to add a sensing component 6 and a triggering component 7 at the corresponding positions. When the drawer 3 moves to the maximum opening stroke, the triggering component 7 will trigger the sensing component 6, which will stop the movement of the drawer 3 in time, prevent the door opening motor from continuing to run, and prevent damage to the motor or related components due to excessive door opening.

[0034] Meanwhile, the triggering component 7 of this application triggers the sensing component 6 in a non-contact manner, which can effectively improve the sensing accuracy. As the drawer moves, there will be no collision or friction between the two, which can effectively avoid excessive impact or friction of the sensing components due to the drawer moving too fast. This helps to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the triggering component 7 and the sensing component 6, and helps to improve their service life.

[0035] Preferably, the triggering component 7 has a magnetic structure or a light source component, and the sensing component 6 has a corresponding reed switch sensor or an optocoupler sensor.

[0036] The drawer 3 includes a door 5, a support frame 8, and a track assembly 4. The door 5 is connected to the support frame 8. The track assembly 4 includes a fixed track 41 and a movable track 42. The fixed track 41 is connected to the cavity 2, and the movable track 42 is connected to the door 5 and / or the support frame 8. The movable track 42 is also connected to the fixed track 41 and can slide along the fixed track 41. This allows the drawer 3 to move relative to the cavity 2, enabling the drawer to be pulled out and retracted. The fixed track 41 has a groove structure, and the movable track 42 can slide within the groove. The track assembly 4 also includes a connecting track 43, which is positioned between the fixed track 41 and the movable track 42. The width of the connecting track 43 does not exceed the width of the groove of the fixed track 41, so that the connecting track 43 is located within the groove. The movable track 42 is wrapped around the connecting track 43, and the connecting track 43 drives the movable track 42 to slide.

[0037] A front plate 21 is provided on the front side of the cavity 2. The sensing component 6 is connected to the front plate 21, and / or the sensing component 6 is connected to the side of the cavity 2 near the front plate 21. Preferably, the sensing component 6 includes a first mounting bracket 61 and a sensing element 62. The sensing element 62 is detachably connected to the first mounting bracket 61, and the first mounting bracket 61 is detachably connected to the front plate 21. This ensures that the sensing component 6 is securely installed and facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the sensing component 6. Specifically, the first mounting bracket 61 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the sensing element 62 can snap into the snap-fit ​​groove. The first mounting bracket 61 is provided with claws and screw holes. The claws snap into the front plate 21, and the fasteners further secure the sensing component 62 to the front plate 21. The sensing element 62 can be a reed switch sensor or a light sensor.

[0038] The triggering component 7 is connected to the side of the support frame 8 away from the door body 5, and / or, the triggering component 7 is connected to the side of the movable rail 42 away from the door body 5. Preferably, the triggering component 7 includes a second mounting bracket 71 and a trigger element 72. The trigger element 72 is detachably connected to the second mounting bracket 71, and the second mounting bracket 71 is detachably connected to the side of the movable rail 42 away from the door body 5. This ensures the triggering component 7 is securely installed and also facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the triggering component 7. The trigger element 72 can be a magnet or a light emitter.

[0039] The second mounting bracket 71 is provided with a mounting part 711, and the trigger 72 is engaged with the mounting part 711. The movable rail 42 is provided with a slot 421 and a first fixing hole 423. The second mounting bracket 71 is provided with a second fixing hole 715, and a first arm 712 is provided on the side facing the movable rail 42. The first arm 712 can pass through the slot 421 and engage with the slot 421. The second fixing hole 715 and the first fixing hole 423 can be assembled with fasteners. This ensures the assembly stability of the entire trigger assembly 7 and reduces the risk of the trigger assembly 7 loosening or falling off during the movement of the drawer 3.

[0040] The end of the movable rail 42 furthest from the door body 5 is designated as the tail end 420. A second arm 713 is provided on the side of the second mounting bracket 71 facing the movable rail 42, and the second arm 713 abuts against the tail end 420. Thus, based on the first engagement between the first arm 712 and the slot 421, the further provision of the second arm 713 creates an engagement space between the first arm 712 and the second arm 713, forming a second engagement with the movable rail 42 at the tail end 420. This helps to further improve the assembly reliability of the entire trigger assembly 7.

[0041] Based on this structure, to improve the ease of assembly between the second assembly bracket 71 and the movable rail 42, a positioning post 714 is provided on the side of the second assembly bracket 71 facing the movable rail 42. The movable rail 42 is provided with positioning holes 422 corresponding to the positioning post 714. Therefore, when assembling the second assembly bracket 71 and the movable rail 42, only the positioning post 714 needs to be inserted into the positioning hole 422, and the second arm 713 needs to contact the tail end 420. Then, force can be applied directly to the second assembly bracket 71, causing the first arm 712 to enter the slot 421, easily completing the two-stage engagement between the second assembly bracket 71 and the movable rail 42 in one step. Simultaneously, the first fixing hole 423 and the second fixing hole 715 automatically align, requiring no secondary adjustment and no manual support of the second assembly bracket 71. Fasteners can be directly installed towards the first fixing hole 423 and the second fixing hole 715. Accordingly, this structure effectively improves assembly convenience, and assembly can be completed by only one person.

[0042] Furthermore, for the drawer 3 of this application, one, two, or even more track components 4 can be provided. Correspondingly, the sensing component 6, triggering component 7, and related assembly relationships described in this application can be provided only at any one track component 4. Of course, without considering the complexity of the structure, the sensing component 6, triggering component 7, and related assembly relationships described in this application can also be provided at each track component 4.

[0043] The drawer-type cooking device described in this embodiment can be a microwave oven, an electric oven, an electric steamer, etc. Correspondingly, the drawer-type cooking device can also include conventional structures such as a shell 1, electrical control components, and heat dissipation components. Since these conventional structures can be directly referred to in the prior art, they will not be described in detail.

[0044] 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.
