Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the increasing popularity of healthy eating concepts, air fryers, which can prepare foods with low oil content, have emerged. Air fryers are typically equipped with a wired temperature sensor, the connection port of which is located on the front of the air fryer. During use, this wire may become raised, causing the frying drum to get stuck when pushed into the machine, making it difficult to push in. Prolonged friction between the drum and the machine can also damage the wire, requiring manual adjustment to prevent it from being pressed down by the drum, reducing user convenience. Furthermore, excessively long exposed wires pose a risk of tangling and burns. When not in use, the wired temperature sensor has no fixed storage location and is easily lost. Utility Model Content

Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] Before providing a further detailed description of the embodiments of this application, the directional terms used in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper part", "lower part" and "side part", do not have the meaning of limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] With modern life increasingly focused on health, low-oil and low-salt foods have become a popular choice, leading to the development of air fryers. Since air fryers are enclosed in an outer shell during cooking, models equipped with wired temperature sensors have been introduced to facilitate monitoring the temperature of the food being cooked. Currently, air fryers with wired temperature probes have their wiring ports located on the front of the device, which presents the following problems during use: 1) After inserting the probe plug, the wiring harness may stick up. When the frying bucket is pushed into the machine, the bucket assembly can easily press down on the wiring harness, preventing the bucket from being pushed in smoothly. Repeated pushing and pulling of the bucket over a long period can also cause damage to the wiring harness. Therefore, users need to manually adjust the position of the wiring harness to prevent it from being pressed down by the bucket assembly before the bucket can be pushed in smoothly. This can easily damage the outer sheath of the temperature probe wiring harness, and the manual adjustment of the wiring harness also adds inconvenience to the user; 2) The exposed port and excessively long wiring harness affect the overall integrity of the air fryer; 3) Excessively long wiring harness can also cause inconvenience to user operation, and there is a risk of wiring tangling or burns; 4) When not in use, there is no centralized storage location for the temperature probe, which can easily lead to its loss or damage. The cooking device of this application can solve at least one of the above problems, as follows.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, one aspect of this application provides a cooking apparatus 100, including: a housing assembly and a frying bucket assembly 120, the frying bucket assembly 120 being configured within the housing assembly, the frying bucket assembly 120 including a bucket front cover 121 and a frying bucket 122 interconnected, the frying bucket 122 being used to contain food to be cooked, and the cooking apparatus 100 further including:

[0068] Temperature measuring component 130 includes a temperature probe 131, a wire harness 132, and a plug 133 connected in sequence. The temperature probe 131 is configured to measure the temperature of the food to be cooked.

[0069] A cable channel 1211 is provided at one end of the front cover 121 of the barrel near the side wall of the outer casing assembly;

[0070] A socket assembly 112 is disposed in the area adjacent to the housing assembly and the cable channel 1211, and a plug 133 is connected to the socket assembly 112.

[0071] The cooking device 100 includes a frying bucket assembly 120 disposed within the outer shell assembly. The frying bucket assembly 120 includes a bucket front cover 121 and a frying bucket 122 connected to each other. The frying bucket 122 is configured to hold food to be cooked. A temperature measuring component 130 is used to measure the temperature of the food to be cooked. The temperature measuring component 130 includes a temperature probe 131, a wire harness 132 and a plug 133 connected in sequence. A wire channel 1211 is provided on one end of the bucket front cover 121 near the side wall of the outer shell assembly. When the bucket front cover 121 pushes the frying bucket 122 into the outer shell assembly, the wire harness 132 can move along the edge 1221 of the frying bucket 122 under the action of the outer shell assembly and the pushing force until it is inserted into the wire channel 1211. With the design of this application, the wire harness 132 moves along the upper edge of the rim 1221 of the container, reducing the occurrence of compression or friction on the wire harness 132. Simultaneously, the wire harness 132 can enter the cable tray 1211 without manual adjustment, achieving stability and improving user convenience. This also extends the service life and maintenance interval of the temperature sensing component 130. The cooking equipment 100 also includes a socket assembly 112, located on the side wall of the outer casing near the cable tray 1211. This shortens the distance between the socket assembly 112 and the cable tray 1211, thereby reducing the length of the exposed wire harness 132. This prevents excessive exposure of the wire harness 132, reducing the risk of tangling and burns, and improving the safety of the temperature sensing component 130.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2c As shown, a handle is provided on the front cover 121 of the fryer bucket for easy pulling out or pushing into the outer casing assembly (outer casing 110). The food to be cooked is placed inside the fryer bucket 122, and then the temperature probe 131 of the temperature sensing component 130 is placed on the food. At this time, the wiring harness 132 naturally drapes over the rim 1221 of the fryer bucket 122. Figure 8a and Figure 8bAs shown, when the frying bucket 122 is pushed into the outer casing assembly by the handle, the wiring harness 132 moves along the edge 1221 of the bucket towards the wire channel 1211 under the action of the pushing force. Once the wiring harness 132 is engaged in the wire channel 1211, the frying bucket 122 enters the outer casing 110, the front cover 121 fits against the outer casing 110, and the cooking device 100 begins operation. The temperature probe 131 monitors the temperature of the food to be cooked and transmits the temperature to the main unit of the cooking device 100. The main unit adjusts the subsequent cooking time and cooking duration based on the received temperature. It can be seen that by setting the position of the wire channel 1211 in this application, and under the action of the external force pushing the frying bucket 122 into the outer casing 110, the wiring harness 132 can be directly pushed into the wire channel 1211. In other words, at least one end of one side of the cable tray 1211 is connected to the rim 1221 of the barrel, which facilitates the smooth pushing of the cable harness 132 into the cable tray 1211 under the interaction of thrust and the outer casing 110. Figure 4 , Figure 11b and Figure 12 As shown, the socket assembly 112 is disposed on the housing assembly, and the socket assembly 112 is disposed on the side wall of the housing assembly near the end of the wire channel 1211. That is to say, the socket assembly 112 is disposed near the wire channel 1211, which can shorten the length of the exposed wire harness 132. On the one hand, it can prevent the user from being burned and improve the safety of the user when using the cooking equipment 100; on the other hand, it can also prevent the wire harness 132 from getting tangled, improve the reliability of the temperature measuring component 130 for repeated use and the convenience of user use.

[0073] It should be noted that the frying bucket 122 is made of metal, which facilitates heat conduction. The inner wall of the frying bucket 122 has a non-stick coating, which improves the service life of the frying bucket 122 and makes it easy to clean.

[0074] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cable channel 1211 is located at the corner of the front cover 121 of the bucket. The cable channel 1211 can be U-shaped or arc-shaped, with the opening side of the U-shaped or arc-shaped cable facing one side of the outer shell assembly; or the cable channel 1211 can be a polygon with one side open (without a border), with the opening side of the polygon facing the outer shell assembly; the cable channel 1211 can also be irregular in shape. Regardless of the shape of the cable channel 1211, one end must be connected to the edge of the bucket 1221 so that the cable bundle 132 placed on the edge of the bucket 1221 can be pushed into the cable channel 1211 under the action of thrust.

[0075] It should be noted that the frying bucket 122 and the outer casing assembly 110 are configured to guide the wiring harness 132 into the wiring channel 1211. The end of the wiring channel 1211 near the base 150 is parallel to the end of the frying bucket 122 away from the base 150, or the end of the frying bucket 122 away from the base 150 is not lower than the end of the wiring channel 1211 near the base 150. The end of the frying bucket 122 away from the base 150 and the end of the wiring channel 1211 near the base 150 are 0mm to 0.6mm apart in the height direction of the cooking device 100.

[0076] Understandably, the cable tray 1211 and the wire harness 132 are fitted with a clearance, meaning that when the frying drum 122 enters the outer casing 110, the wire harness 132 is located within the cable tray 1211, allowing it to move freely within this space. This design allows the wire harness 132 to be smoothly pushed into the cable tray 1211, while also reducing the pressure and friction exerted on the wire harness 132 by the cable tray 1211, thus improving the lifespan and safety of the wire harness 132.

[0077] It should be noted that a guide section is provided between the opening end of the cable passage 1211 and the barrel rim 1221. The guide section can be an inclined plane, in which case the inclined plane slopes from the cable passage 1211 toward the barrel rim 1221 of the frying barrel 122; the guide section can also be an arc, with the center of the arc located on the side away from the cable passage 1211. This allows the cable harness 132 to smoothly enter the cable passage 1211 and the receiving groove 1231, reducing the possibility of the cable harness 132 getting stuck in the guide section and affecting the closing of the frying barrel assembly 120 and the outer shell assembly.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the fryer bucket 122 includes a bottom plate and side walls that enclose a receiving space for holding food to be cooked. The outer shell assembly includes a base 150 and an outer shell 110. The base 150 is located at one end of the outer shell 110 near the bottom plate and is configured to support the fryer bucket assembly 120.

[0079] The socket assembly 112 is disposed on the housing 110, or the socket assembly 112 is disposed on the base 150.

[0080] The socket assembly 112 is directly mounted on the outer casing 110. This improves the overall integrity and aesthetics of the cooking equipment 100, and also effectively shortens the length of the wiring harness 132, reducing tangling issues caused by excessively long harnesses and improving cooking efficiency. The socket assembly 112 contains a built-in circuit board. After the plug 133 of the temperature sensing component 130 is inserted into the socket assembly 112, it connects to the circuit board, transmitting the temperature detected by the temperature probe 131 to the circuit board, and then to the main unit of the cooking equipment 100. The main unit adjusts the cooking time and temperature in a timely manner based on the received temperature of the food to be cooked, improving the cooking effect and thus enhancing the flavor of the food. The circuit board integrates a temperature monitoring module, which, through the cooperation of the plug 133 and the socket assembly 112, acquires temperature monitoring signals in a timely manner and displays them on the control panel of the cooking equipment 100 or a mobile app. The socket assembly 112 can be fixedly connected to the column 140 with bolts, achieving mutual support between the two.

[0081] A base 150 is provided below the outer shell 110 and the frying bucket assembly 120. The base 150 serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the heat released by the frying bucket assembly 120 during operation from being directly transferred to the tabletop, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the cooking equipment 100; secondly, it supports the outer shell 110 and the frying bucket assembly 120, allowing the frying bucket assembly 120 to move in and out of the outer shell 110.

[0082] It should be noted that after the frying bucket assembly 120 enters the outer shell 110, if the outer shell 110 has a design with sharp edges, the edges are formed by a rounded transition molding method to reduce the possibility of the outer shell 110 causing scratches to the user and improve the safety of using the cooking equipment 100. The arc transition forms an arc segment 160. When the socket assembly 112 is set on the arc segment 160, the arc segment 160 where the socket assembly 112 is located should be set on the same side as the cable channel 1211. Relative to other arc segments 160, the socket assembly 112 is set on the arc segment 160 closest to the cable channel 1211. In this way, when the plug 133 is inserted into the socket assembly 112, the exposed wire harness 132 outside the housing 110 can be shorter, minimizing the length of the exposed wire harness 132. On the one hand, this can reduce the risk of burns caused by the high temperature of the wire harness 132 when the temperature measuring component 130 is working; on the other hand, it can also reduce the tangling of the wire harness 132, eliminating the need for the user to manually adjust the wire harness and improving cooking efficiency.

[0083] It is understandable that the distance between the end of the socket assembly 112 near the wire channel 1211 and the end of the wire channel 1211 near the socket assembly 112 is 0cm to 10cm. That is to say, when the socket assembly 112 is installed on the housing 110, it should be installed as close as possible to the wire channel 1211, which can effectively reduce the length of the exposed wire harness 132.

[0084] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the socket assembly 112 is inclined, with the end of the socket assembly 112 near the wire channel 1211 being higher than the end of the socket assembly 112 away from the wire channel 1211.

[0085] The socket assembly 112 includes a socket 1122 and a recess, the recess being positioned relative to the socket 1122 and close to the wire groove 1211.

[0086] The plug 133 includes a support portion 1331, a connecting plug 1332 and a limiting protrusion 1333 disposed on the support portion 1331, the connecting plug 1332 is connected to the socket 1122, and the limiting protrusion 1333 is connected to the recess.

[0087] It should be noted that when the socket assembly 112 is mounted on the housing 110, the socket assembly 112 can be tilted, with the end of the socket assembly 112 near the wire channel 1211 being higher than the end of the socket assembly 112 away from the wire channel 1211. This can further reduce the length of the externally exposed wire harness 132 and improve the safety and reliability of the temperature measuring assembly 130.

[0088] It should be noted that when the socket assembly 112 is tilted, the plug 133 includes a connecting plug 1332 and a limiting protrusion 1333. The connecting plug 1332 mates with the socket 1122, and the limiting protrusion 1333 mates with the recess. The socket assembly 112 includes the socket 1122 and the recess. The recess is positioned closer to the wire channel 1211 relative to the socket 1122. In this case, the limiting protrusion 1333 is positioned closer to one end of the wire harness 132 on the support portion 1331, further shortening the length of the exposed wire harness 132. Alternatively, the socket assembly 112 can also have the socket 1122 positioned closer to the wire channel 1211 relative to the recess. In this case, the connecting plug 1332 is positioned closer to one end of the wire harness 132 on the support portion 1331. The plug 133 is fixed by the socket 1122 and the recess, which prevents the plug 133 from rotating. The wire harness 132 will not shake or rotate, further reducing the twisting and tangling of the wire harness 132 and improving the reliability and safety of the wire harness 132. At the same time, due to the fixed position of the plug 133, the temperature probe 131 is also fixed in position and will not rotate. This can effectively fix the wire harness 132 at the tail of the temperature probe 131 to extend in one direction and prevent the wire harness 132 from twisting.

[0089] It is understandable that the recess can be inside the socket assembly 112 or directly on the housing 110. However, the recess is set close to the socket assembly 112 and is inclined to the socket 1122. The recess can be close to the wire channel 1211 relative to the socket 1122, or the socket 1122 can be close to the wire channel 1211 relative to the recess. The relationship between the connector 1332 and the limiting protrusion 1333 on the bearing part 1331 can be changed accordingly. The principle is as described above and will not be repeated. This can shorten the length of the exposed wire harness 132.

[0090] like Figure 13a , Figure 13b and Figure 13c As shown. In one possible embodiment, the socket assembly 112 may also be configured such that a first connecting surface 1123 and a second connecting surface 1124 protrude from the housing 110, as shown. Figure 14 As shown. At least part of the socket assembly 112 is still located on the arc-shaped section 160 near the cable channel 1211. The first connecting surface 1123 is provided with a socket 1122 and a limiting hole, with the socket 1122 and the limiting hole facing the side of the front cover 121. This arrangement can shorten the length of the exposed wire harness 132. The position of the socket 1122 and the limiting hole is not limited, as long as the connecting plug 1332 on the plug 133 matches the socket 1122 and the limiting plug 1334 on the plug 133 matches the limiting hole. Figure 15 As shown. At this time, the socket 1122 and the limiting hole are set in a vertical direction, so when the plug 133 is inserted into the socket assembly 112, it is also in a vertical state. When the limiting plug 1334 is located between the wire harness 132 and the connecting plug 1332 on the bearing part 1331 of the plug 133, the socket 1122 on the first connecting surface 1123 can be located above the limiting hole. At this time, the wire harness 132 can be bent and rest on the rim 1221 of the frying barrel 122, and enter the through groove 1211 by the push of the column 140. At this time, the position of the wire harness 132 and the position of the temperature probe 131 have been fixed by the plug 133, which improves the reliability of the temperature measuring component 130. Alternatively, the socket 1122 can be located below the limiting hole. At this time, the end of the wire harness 132 near the plug 133 is closer to the through groove 1211. This setting can reduce the length of the exposed wire harness 132 and reduce the tangling of the wire harness 132. At the same time, the positions of the wire harness 132 and the temperature probe 131 are also fixed.

[0091] In other words, the frying barrel assembly 120 (the front cover 121) has a wire passage groove 1211 at the corner (usually a rounded corner) facing the outer shell 110. The wire passage groove 1211 is fitted with the wire harness 132 with a clearance. The entrance of the wire passage groove 1211 is provided with a guide section, which makes it easier for the wire harness 132 to enter the wire passage groove 1211 smoothly. When the user inserts plug 133 into socket assembly 112, plug 133 cannot rotate. After pushing the frying drum 122 in, the end of temperature probe 131 near wire harness 132 is also in a fixed direction. When the frying drum 122 is pushed into outer casing 110, wire harness 132 will enter the guide section of wire channel 1211 along the drum edge 1221 on the side of the frying drum 122 near the wire channel 1211. Then, wire harness 132 contacts the protruding section 142 of column 140, and column 140 smoothly guides wire harness 132 into wire channel 1211. This solves the problem of users needing to adjust wire harness 132 before pushing it into frying drum 122, improving the convenience and cooking efficiency of cooking equipment 100. Furthermore, the close proximity of the end of temperature probe 131 near wire harness 132 to wire channel 1211 effectively shortens the exposed length of wire harness 132, making the appearance of cooking equipment 100 neater.

[0092] In one feasible implementation, the socket assembly 112 can also be disposed on the base 150, such as Figure 11a and Figure 11b As shown, the socket assembly 112 includes a limiting frame 1121 and a socket 1122. The bearing portion 1331 of the plug 133 matches the limiting frame 1121, and the plug 1332 is inserted into the socket 1122. The limiting frame 1221 of the socket assembly 112 is polygonal, and the bearing portion 1331 can be limited within the limiting frame 1221 to prevent rotation. On the one hand, this limits the position of the wire harness 132 and the temperature probe 131 on the temperature measuring assembly 130, preventing the wire harness 132 from twisting and improving the reliability of the temperature probe 131 in monitoring the temperature. On the other hand, it also facilitates the column 140 to push the wire harness 132 more smoothly into the wire channel 1211.

[0093] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, a heat insulation block 123 is installed between the front cover 121 and the frying drum 122. After the cooking equipment 100 is in operation, it can reduce the direct transfer of heat from the frying drum 122 to the front cover 121, thereby reducing the occurrence of burns and improving the safety of users when using the cooking equipment 100. Figure 8a and Figure 8bAs shown, the shapes of the heat insulation block 123 and the front cover 121 of the bucket are matched, and the front cover 121, the heat insulation block 123 and the frying bucket 122 can be fixed together by bolts. Since the heat insulation block 123 matches the shape of the front cover 121, in order to improve the reliability of the wire harness 132 entering the wire passage groove 1211, a receiving groove 1231 needs to be provided on the heat insulation block 123. The position and shape of the receiving groove 1231 match the position and shape of the wire passage groove 1211, so that when the wire harness 132 is pushed into the wire passage groove 1211 under the interaction of the thrust and the outer shell 110, it also enters the receiving groove 1231, realizing the accommodating and limiting of the wire harness 32 by the receiving groove 1231 and the wire passage groove 1211. The wiring harness 132 will not be squeezed or rubbed against the fryer assembly 120, which improves the reliability of the outer sheath of the wiring harness 132, and increases the service life and safety of the wiring harness 132. At the same time, the user does not need to manually adjust the position of the wiring harness 132. It can be directly pushed into the fryer assembly 120 on the side of the outer shell 110, and the wiring harness 132 is directly pushed into the wire channel 1211 and the receiving slot 1231, which improves the convenience of the user in using the cooking equipment 100.

[0094] For example, the heat insulation block 123 can be made of PET + 30% GF heat-resistant material. This can improve the high-temperature resistance of the heat insulation block 123, prevent heat from being transferred to the front cover 121 of the pot, and prevent the user from being burned, thereby improving the safety of using the cooking equipment 100.

[0095] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 9a and Figure 9b As shown, the outer casing 110 has an opening for accommodating the fryer bucket assembly 120. The cooking device 100 also includes a column 140, which includes a support section 141 and a protruding section 142 connected to each other. The support section 141 is disposed at both ends of the opening along the height direction, and the protruding section 142 is disposed on the side facing the front cover 121 of the bucket. At least a portion of the protruding section 142 corresponds to the wiring harness 132.

[0096] It should be noted that by setting up the column 140, the column 140 can assist in pushing the wire harness 132, so that the wire harness 132 can enter the wire channel 1211 more smoothly. This can solve the problem that the wire harness 132 cannot enter the wire channel 1211 smoothly when it is twisted, and improve the reliability of the wire harness 132 entering the wire channel 1211. Since the column 140 includes a support section 141 and a protruding section 142, and at least part of the protruding section 142 corresponds to the wiring harness 132, when the user pushes the fryer assembly 120 into the outer casing 110, the wiring harness 132 of the temperature measuring component 130 will move along the edge 1221 of the fryer 122 towards the wire channel 1211. When the wiring harness 132 contacts the protruding section 142 of the column 140, the protruding section 142 of the column 140 will directly guide the wiring harness 132 into the wire channel 1211. On the one hand, the user does not need to manually adjust the wiring harness 132, and the movement of the wiring harness 132 and the confinement of the wiring harness 132 within the wire channel 1211 are directly realized, improving the convenience of use for the user; on the other hand, it makes pushing the fryer assembly 120 smoother and improves cooking efficiency.

[0097] For example, the column 140 can be made of PET + 30% GF heat-resistant material. That is, the column 140 is a composite material made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with 30% glass fiber (GF) added to enhance strength and heat resistance. The column 140 made of such material is more suitable for high-temperature environments, making it feasible to use on the housing 110; at the same time, such a column 140 also has high strength and rigidity, which can provide good support for the housing 110 and reliably push the wire harness 132; finally, such a column 140 is lightweight, realizing the weight reduction effect of the cooking equipment 100, improving the user experience, and is also easy to process and mold, with high production efficiency, improving the economy of the cooking equipment 100.

[0098] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the cooking device 100 is provided with a storage slot 111, which is configured to hold a storage box 170. The storage box 170 is used to store the temperature measuring component 130, and the storage box 170 is detachably connected to the storage slot 111. When the temperature measuring component 130 needs to be used, the storage box 170 can be removed from the storage slot 111, and the temperature measuring component 130 located in the storage box 170 can be taken out. After the temperature measuring component 130 is used, it can be returned to the storage box 170, and the storage box 170 can be reconnected to the storage slot 111 to prevent the temperature measuring component 130 from being lost.

[0099] The outer casing 110 can be provided with a groove as a storage slot 111. The wire harness 132 can be wound inside the storage box 170 for storage. Then, the storage box 70 is placed inside the storage slot 111 and connected to the storage slot 111, so that the storage box 170 is flush with the outside of the outer casing 110, improving the overall appearance of the cooking device 100. The storage box 170 stores the wire harness 132, the temperature probe 131, and the plug 133, preventing the user from carelessly placing the temperature probe 131 and losing it.

[0100] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, the storage slot 111 is provided with a latch, and the storage box 170 includes a base plate 171, which is detachably connected to the storage slot 111 via a connector. The connector can be provided with two sets of magnetic components or a snap-fit ​​component, allowing the storage box 170 to be removed entirely from the storage slot 111. Alternatively, the connector can be provided with one set of magnetic components and a snap-fit ​​component. In this case, on the opposite side of the connector, the storage slot 111 and the storage box 170 are rotatably connected, enabling the storage box 170 to open and close, allowing the temperature measuring component 130 to be stored in the storage box 170. Further details are omitted. The storage box 170 also includes a wire harness storage plate 172, a protruding post 173, and a retaining plate 174. At least two wire harness storage plates 172 are disposed on the base plate 171, and the wire harness storage plates 172 extend from the base plate 171 towards the storage slot 111, with the wire harness 132 wound around the wire harness storage plate 172. The wire harness storage plate 172 can be L-shaped, which can limit the wire harness 132 and prevent it from detaching from the storage plate 172, thus improving the reliability of the storage box 170 in storing the wire harness 132. A protruding post 173 is provided, avoiding the position of the wire harness storage plate 172, and is located on the same side as the wire harness storage plate 172. A slotted hole 1731 is provided inside the protruding post 173 for placing the temperature probe 131. The temperature probe 131 can be inserted into the slotted hole 1731. Typically, the temperature probe 131 is L-shaped, so it can be secured to the upper edge of the slotted hole 1731, preventing it from falling out or being lost. Alternatively, the slotted hole 1731 can be a blind hole, which also prevents the temperature probe 131 from detaching from it. A clamping plate 174 is disposed on a base plate 171, forming a receiving opening between the clamping plate 174 and a wire harness storage plate 172, into which the plug 133 is disposed. The plug 133 can be clamped by the cooperation of the clamping plate 174 and one of the wire harness storage plates 172, thus achieving the storage of the plug 133. Multiple wire harness storage plates 172 form a winding structure, facilitating the storage of the wire harness 132.

[0101] Furthermore, a baffle 175 can be provided on the card plate 174, allowing the plug 133 to slide into the space formed by the card plate 174 and the wire harness storage plate 172 from below the baffle 175. The baffle 175 can cover the plug 133 to prevent it from falling off. An arc-shaped plate can also be provided on one side of the card plate 174, which matches the connecting plug 1332 on the plug 133, providing a limiting and protective function for the connecting plug 1332.

[0102] It is understood that the two ends of the wire harness 132 can be detachably connected to the temperature probe 131 and the plug 133 respectively; or the two ends of the wire harness 132 can be fixedly connected to the temperature probe 131 and the plug 133 respectively; or the wire harness 132 is fixedly connected to the temperature probe 131 and detachably connected to the plug 133; or the wire harness 132 is fixedly connected to the plug 133 and detachably connected to the temperature probe 131. When both ends of the wire harness 132 are fixedly connected to the temperature probe 131 and the plug 133 respectively, it can prevent one of the components from being lost. When storing the temperature measuring assembly 130, the temperature probe 131 can be inserted into the slot 1731 first, then the wire harness 132 can be wound around the wire harness storage plate 172, and finally the plug 133 can be snapped between the clip plate 174 and one of the wire harness storage plates 172; alternatively, the plug 133 can be snapped between the clip plate 174 and one of the wire harness storage plates 172 first, then the wire harness 132 can be wound around, and finally the temperature probe 131 can be inserted into the slot 1731. When at least one end of the wire harness 132 is detachable, it is easier to wind and store the wire harness 132, making the wire harness 132 more tightly stored.

[0103] It should be noted that the temperature sensing component 130 comprises three parts: a temperature probe 131, a wiring harness 132, and a plug 133. The temperature probe 131 will come into contact with food being cooked; therefore, it is made of food-grade stainless steel to prevent rusting caused by frequent contact with oil, thus improving its lifespan and the accuracy of temperature monitoring. The temperature probe 131 connects to the wiring harness 132, which is a high-temperature resistant wire capable of transmitting temperature data. The outer sheath of the wiring harness 132 is made of metal braided material, providing protection for the high-temperature wire. When the socket assembly 112 is located on the outer casing 110, the plug 133 has a limiting protrusion 1333 and a connecting plug 1332, which cooperate with the socket assembly 112 to limit the position of the plug 133, preventing it from rotating. This, in turn, fixes the orientation of the wiring harness 132 and the temperature probe 131, preventing the wiring harness 132 from twisting.

[0104] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 5a and Figure 5bAs shown, the cooking device 100 also includes a guide rail 180, which is disposed inside the outer shell 110 and faces the frying bucket 122. The frying bucket 122 can slide into the outer shell 110 through the guide rail 180. An avoidance section 181 is provided on the guide rail 180 to prevent the wire harness 132 from rubbing against the guide rail 180 when it moves on the edge 1221 of the bucket, thus affecting the quality of the outer sheath of the wire harness 132.
