[0034] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the module or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1-4The cooling protection structure shown includes a body 1 and an air duct 4. A circuit board 6 is housed inside the body 1, and a heat dissipation component is mounted on the body 1. This heat dissipation component includes an air duct cavity 2, a drive motor 3, a fan 31 disposed within the air duct cavity 2 and connected to the drive motor 3, an air inlet 71, and an air outlet 72 communicating with the air duct cavity 2. One end of the air duct 4 is connected to the air inlet 71, and the other end is connected to a corresponding area of ​​the circuit board 6. When the drive motor 3 operates, it drives the fan 31 to rotate, thereby creating a continuous airflow. This allows external air to enter the air duct 4 through the air inlet 71 and be precisely guided by the air duct 4 to the area of ​​the circuit board 6, carrying away heat from the circuit board 6 and its surroundings, achieving active heat dissipation for the electronic components. Subsequently, the air that has been discharged from the other end of the air duct 4 to dissipate heat from the circuit board 6, and / or the air inside the body 1, is introduced into the air duct cavity 2 and discharged to the outside of the body 1 through the air outlet 72, thereby preventing heat accumulation inside the body 1 and improving the overall heat dissipation performance and operational stability.

[0039] Furthermore, to achieve directional and efficient cooling of the circuit board 6, the structure also includes a circuit board support 5 for supporting the circuit board 6. The circuit board 6 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board support 5. The bottom of the circuit board support 5 has an opening 52 to cooperate with the air guide channel 4 to deliver air to the circuit board 6. The air guide channel 4 includes an inlet contraction section 41 and an outlet diffusion section 42. The inlet end of the inlet contraction section 41 is connected to the air inlet 71, and the outlet end of the outlet diffusion section 42 is connected to the opening 52 of the circuit board support 5. Through the above structural design, after the external air enters the air guide channel 4, it first accelerates through the inlet contraction section 41, and then the airflow is diffused by the outlet diffusion section 42, finally blowing towards the circuit board 6 in a diffused state, effectively improving the heat dissipation range and efficiency, and avoiding local overheating.

[0040] See Figure 3-4 To ensure stable installation of the air guide channel 4, the main body 1 is equipped with a first fixing post 11 and a second fixing post 12. The air guide channel 4 is equipped with a first connecting post 421 and a second connecting post 422 that cooperate with it, respectively fitting onto the corresponding fixing posts to secure the air guide channel 4. To further enhance structural stability, the bottom of the circuit board bracket 5 is also equipped with a third connecting post 53 and a fourth connecting post 54, which are respectively inserted into the first connecting post 421 and the second connecting post 422, and fixed to the fixing posts by the first and second fasteners. This achieves overall fixation of the circuit board bracket 5 and the air guide channel 4, improving shock resistance and assembly strength, and ensuring a reliable heat dissipation path.

[0041] Furthermore, to enhance the ease of assembly and positioning accuracy of the circuit board 6, the circuit board bracket 5 is also provided with a groove 51. The circuit board 6 is snapped into the groove 51 and fastened by a third fastener to ensure its stability and contact reliability during operation.

[0042] The air outlet diffuser section 42 of the air guide channel 4 is also provided with a fifth connecting post 423. When the circuit board bracket 5 is connected to the air guide channel 4, it can be fastened to the fifth connecting post 423 with screws to ensure the assembly strength of the air guide channel 4. The body 1 is also provided with a third fixing post 13. The bottom of the circuit board bracket 5 is also provided with a sixth connecting post 55 that cooperates with it. The sixth connecting post 55 is sleeved on the third fixing post 13 and fastened with screws to improve the assembly strength of the circuit board bracket 5.

[0043] In terms of the structure of the heat dissipation component, the top of the air guide cavity 2 is provided with multiple air inlets 21 arranged circumferentially along the drive motor 3; the drive motor 3 is installed outside the air guide cavity 2, and its output shaft passes through the air guide cavity 2 and is connected to the internal fan 31. When the drive motor 3 is running, the fan 31 rotates rapidly, forming a negative pressure suction force, which draws the air inside the machine body 1 and / or the air discharged from the air diffuser section 42 of the air guide channel 4 into the air guide cavity 2 through the multiple air inlets 21, and quickly discharges it to the outside of the machine body 1 through the air outlet 72, further helping to reduce the overall temperature of the machine body 1 and improve the overall thermal balance capability of the machine.

[0044] Furthermore, the top of the air guide cavity 2 is provided with multiple air inlets 21, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the drive motor 3. By providing multiple air inlets 21, the ability to draw air from inside the machine body 1 into the air guide cavity 2 is significantly enhanced during the operation of the fan 31 driven by the drive motor 3, allowing more hot air inside the machine body 1 to be extracted and discharged in a timely manner. This structure not only improves the air circulation efficiency inside the machine body 1, forming a smoother airflow circulation channel, but also helps to slow down the accumulation rate of heat in local areas, thereby further improving the overall heat dissipation capacity and the working stability of key components, and enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment under high load or long-term operation.

[0045] Among them, the fan 31 is a turbine fan structure, which can significantly improve the air flow speed and wind pressure intensity, thereby enhancing the air guiding effect and the cooling cycle efficiency inside the body 1.

[0046] The above structural design not only significantly improves the heat dissipation capacity of key components such as circuit board 6 and reduces the risk of high-temperature operation, but also enhances the stability, safety and service life of the equipment in high-temperature and long-term working environments.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 1-7The cooking device shown includes the cooling protection structure described in Embodiment 1 above. The main body 1 of the cooking device has a cooking chamber 14 for heating food. A recess 16 is provided at the top of the cooking chamber 14, and a fan blade 32 and a heating tube 15 are installed within the recess 16. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 extends and passes through the recess 16, connecting to the fan blade 32. When the drive motor 3 operates, it drives the fan blade 32 to rotate, causing a stable hot air circulation within the cooking chamber 14. As the air flows, it passes through the heating tube 15, improving heat exchange efficiency and accelerating temperature equalization within the chamber. This enhances the uniformity of heating the food and improves cooking efficiency, preventing localized overheating or uneven cooking.

[0049] Furthermore, the cooking device also includes a mesh cover 7 installed on the body 1. The mesh cover 7 has an air inlet 71 on one side and an air outlet 72 on the other side. The cooking cavity 14 is provided with an air outlet 141 that communicates with the air outlet 72. This air outlet 141 is used to promptly exhaust the gas generated by the expansion of air during the heating process outside the body 1, which helps to maintain stable air pressure inside the cavity.

[0050] Of course, in this embodiment, two air inlets 71 are provided and located on both sides of the air outlet 72 respectively, so as to improve the air intake efficiency inside the body 1 and enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the body 1.

[0051] In addition to driving the fan blades 32 to form a hot air circulation, the drive motor 3 also simultaneously drives the fan 31 in the heat dissipation assembly. When the fan 31 is running, it introduces external cool air into the machine body 1 through the air guide channel 4, and makes it flow actively through key electronic components such as the circuit board 6, realizing targeted heat dissipation management for components that are susceptible to heat. During the flow of cool air, it can efficiently remove the heat accumulated around the circuit board 6, significantly reducing the operating temperature of the components and effectively avoiding component aging, performance degradation, or even damage caused by long-term high-temperature environments.

[0052] The above design significantly improves the thermal management efficiency of sensitive components such as circuit board 6, enhancing the stability and safety of the cooking equipment under high-temperature or long-term operation conditions, and further extending the lifespan of electronic components. Furthermore, hot air is ultimately exhausted to the outside of the cooking equipment by fan 31, preventing heat buildup inside the unit 1, optimizing the overall internal temperature distribution, improving overall heat dissipation performance, effectively addressing the thermal protection needs of key components, improving product quality and reliability, and demonstrating good practical value and market potential.

[0053] See Figure 7It should be noted that, in this embodiment, although the air inlet 71 and the air outlet 72 are arranged relatively close to each other, due to the strong exhaust characteristics of the cooling fan 31 as a turbine fan, the exhaust speed of the air outlet 72 is much higher than the intake speed of the air inlet 71. In addition, the hot air has the physical property of floating upward, which can effectively prevent the exhaust hot air from flowing back to the air inlet 71, reducing the risk of recirculation and heat regeneration from the source. Even if a small amount of hot air enters the air guide channel 4 through the air inlet 71 in extreme cases, the gas entering the air guide channel 4 can still maintain a low temperature state with the large amount of external cold air replenishment, effectively realizing the heat dissipation function of the circuit board 6 area.

[0054] Furthermore, since the local heat generated by the circuit board 6 during operation is significantly higher than the temperature of the mixture of a small amount of external hot air and cold air, even if a very small amount of hot air flows back during the air intake process, it will not have a substantial impact on the cooling effect of the circuit board 6.

[0055] Furthermore, it also includes a frying basket assembly 8 for holding food ingredients, which is detachably installed inside the cooking cavity 14.

[0056] In summary, the present invention's cooling protection structure and cooking equipment, combined with the air guide channel 4, precisely guides external air to the circuit board 6 area, allowing the air to actively pass through the circuit board 6 and carry away the heat of the circuit board 6 and its surroundings to achieve cooling.

[0057] This utility model's cooling protection structure and cooking equipment, through the air guide channel 4, allows air to actively flow through key electronic components such as the circuit board 6, effectively removing the heat accumulated around the components and reducing their operating temperature. Compared with the traditional method of relying on natural heat dissipation, this structure can achieve a faster and more stable heat dissipation effect, preventing the components from degrading or being damaged due to prolonged high-temperature operation, thereby extending the service life of electronic components and improving the safety and reliability of the entire machine. At the same time, this solution has a compact structure, reasonable cost control, and takes into account both practicality and economy, making it highly valuable for widespread application.

[0058] This utility model's cooling protection structure and cooking equipment allow hot air near the circuit board 6 to be continuously introduced into the air guide cavity 2 and discharged to the outside of the equipment through the air outlet 72, preventing heat from accumulating inside the body 1, improving the thermal management efficiency of sensitive components such as the circuit board 6, enhancing the stability and safety of the equipment under high temperature or long-term working conditions, extending the service life of the circuit board 6, and effectively improving the overall heat dissipation performance, overall quality, and user experience of the machine.
