[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a food cooking device, a connection structure of a food cooking device, a wiring structure of a food cooking device, a food cooking device with a frying pan, a heating device of a food cooking device, and a baking pan rack structure of a food cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional food cooking appliances typically function as only one of the functions of a toaster, grill, or oven, lacking versatility and thus offering limited functionality. Furthermore, there is significant room for improvement in the cooking results, reliability, and ease of use of traditional food cooking appliances if they could be configured to perform multiple functions through changes in settings. Utility Model Content

[0003] One objective of this invention is to solve or alleviate the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] The present invention employs a connection structure for a food cooking device, comprising a connection assembly, which includes a connecting shaft and a linear sliding member having a connecting shaft groove. The linear sliding member is used for linear sliding connection with the connecting part of the carrier component, and the connecting shaft is used for connection with the first heating component and the second heating component, respectively. The connecting shaft is cylindrical, and the cross-section of the connecting shaft groove is rectangular. The two bottom corners of the connecting shaft groove are lower positioning parts that can fit with the connecting shaft, and the two top corners of the connecting shaft groove are top positioning parts that can fit with the connecting shaft.

[0005] The present invention achieves the following effects: it can realize multiple states such as closed vertical state, unfolded horizontal state, and closed horizontal state; in addition, it can realize the function of frying on both sides.

[0006] A further technical solution involves a central protrusion between the lower positioning parts, allowing the connecting shaft to fit against the bottom end of the central protrusion.

[0007] This technical solution can ensure the stability of the connecting shaft position when in the closed vertical state and the closed horizontal state, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the first heating component and the second heating component; it can also ensure the stability of the lateral position of the heating device when in the closed horizontal state.

[0008] A further technical solution involves providing a limiting protrusion between the top positioning parts, directly opposite the central protrusion.

[0009] This technical solution can ensure that the lateral position of the heating device is stable when it is in the closed lateral state and ensure that the first heating component and the second heating component are laterally aligned; it can also ensure that the lateral positions of the first heating component and the second heating component are stable when it is in the unfolded lateral state.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the sidewall of the middle protrusion is an arc surface coaxial with the connecting shaft.

[0011] This technical solution ensures that the heating device can rotate stably with little or no shaking.

[0012] A further technical solution involves a mirror-symmetrical cross-section of the connecting shaft groove.

[0013] When the technical solution is in the closed horizontal state, the opening formed by the first heating component and the second heating component can face two directions, which is convenient for use.

[0014] A further technical solution involves providing a wiring limiting boss on the outer periphery of the inner wall of the connecting shaft groove, with one end of the connecting shaft abutting against the wiring limiting boss to form a gap between the inner wall end face of the connecting shaft groove and the connecting shaft.

[0015] This technical solution can improve reliability and simplify the structure.

[0016] A further technical solution involves providing a flip-up gear slot on the linear slider to achieve the gear shifting effect.

[0017] This technical solution can ensure the stability of the position of the first heating component and / or the second heating component when the horizontal state is unfolded or closed.

[0018] A further technical solution involves providing a vertical groove on the linear slider that runs along the linear sliding direction of the linear slider.

[0019] This technical solution can achieve the effect of different speed settings and also facilitates the operation of frying on both sides. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The accompanying drawings in the specification that best illustrate the technical features of this utility model are: Figure 10. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] As a specific embodiment, the food cooking device of this utility model includes a carrier 1, a heating device 2, and a connecting component 3.

[0049] The carrier component 1 includes a carrier component connecting part 11.

[0050] The heating device 2 includes a first heating component 21 and a second heating component 22. The heating device 2 (i.e., at least one of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22) includes an outer cover 23 with multiple outer cover sidewalls 231 and a heating component 24 disposed between the outer cover sidewalls 231. The heating component 24 includes at least a heating element 241. The first heating component 21 can be closed with the second heating component 22 to form a space with at least one open end. It is easy to understand that when the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are closed, there is a space between the two outer cover sidewalls 231. This space extends along the outer cover sidewalls 231 to one end of the outer cover sidewalls 231 until it communicates with the outside to form an opening. Of course, this space can also be a space that extends along the outer cover sidewalls 231 to both ends of the outer cover sidewalls 231 to form a space with openings at both ends.

[0051] The connecting component 3 includes a connecting shaft 33 and a linear slider 31 with a connecting shaft groove 32.

[0052] The carrier component connecting part 11 and the linear slider 31 are linearly slidably connected. The carrier component connecting part 11 and the linear slider 31 are slidably connected via a linear sliding structure 111. The linear sliding structure 111 can be a structure in which the linear slider 31 is embedded in a linear groove 112 opened on the carrier component connecting part 11, or a structure in which a linear slide rod 114 fixed to the linear slider 31 is embedded in a linear slide hole 113 provided on the carrier component connecting part 11, or it can be a linear bearing, linear slide rail, or other structures capable of achieving a linear sliding connection. Typically, the side of the linear slider 31 is provided with an elastic vertical stop protrusion 344, which is used to achieve a stopping effect during the lifting and lowering process of the linear slider 31.

[0053] The first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 33.

[0054] The connecting shafts 33 of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are both inserted into the connecting shaft grooves 32, enabling both the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 to move relative to the linear slider 31 and achieve at least two of the following states.

[0055] State 1, i.e., the closed vertical state, is a state in which the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are in contact and the contact surfaces between them are vertical; it is easy to understand that in this state, the opening formed by the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 is vertically upward. In this state, food such as toast can be placed between the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 through the opening formed by the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22, and the food such as toast is heated by the heating element 241 to cook the food such as toast (i.e., to achieve a function similar to a toaster).

[0056] State 2: The first heating element 21 and the second heating element 22 are positioned at an angle formed by their tops being open. This is easily understood because, in this state, the distance between the end of the first heating element 21 furthest from the connecting shaft 33 and the end of the second heating element 22 furthest from the connecting shaft 33 is greater than the distance between the end of the first heating element 21 closest to the connecting shaft 33 and the end of the second heating element 22 closest to the connecting shaft 33, thus creating an angle formed by their tops being open. In this state, food such as skewers can be placed on the first heating element 21 and / or the second heating element 22, and the food is heated by the heating element 241 to achieve cooking methods such as grilling or frying (i.e., achieving a function similar to a barbecue grill).

[0057] In state three, one end of the first heating component 21 is attached to one end of the second heating component 22 (the end faces of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are attached, but the attachment surfaces in state one are tilted and not attached), and the attachment surfaces between them (referring to the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 in state one) are tilted. It is easy to understand that in this state, there is an angle between the opening formed by the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 and the vertical plane. In this state, foods such as cookies can be placed between the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 through the baking tray assembly 4 (described later), and the foods such as cookies are baked while held in the state of the baking tray assembly 4, etc., to achieve baking-like cooking (i.e., to achieve a function similar to an oven).

[0058] As can be seen from the above, the food cooking device of this utility model can realize multiple cooking functions with just one device.

[0059] As one specific implementation, the second state is an unfolded horizontal state, that is, the first heating component 21 is horizontal, and there is a 180-degree angle between the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 formed by their tops being open. It is easy to understand that the second heating component 22 is also horizontal in this state. This implementation provides a larger operating area, facilitating cooking methods such as frying and grilling.

[0060] As one specific implementation, state three is a closed lateral state, that is, one end of the first heating component 21 and one end of the second heating component 22 are in contact with each other and the contact surfaces between them are horizontal. This implementation can ensure that foods such as cookies are placed horizontally between the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22, which is convenient for baking.

[0061] As one specific implementation, the carrier component 1 also includes a carrier component elevation portion 12 fixed relative to the carrier component connecting portion 11, and the carrier component elevation portion 12 is located below the heating device 2. For example, both ends of the carrier component elevation portion 12 are provided with carrier component connecting portions 11, making the carrier component 1 as a whole U-shape. The bottom of the carrier component elevation portion 12 is usually provided with a support leg 19. This implementation can achieve heat insulation of the heating device 2 and prevent the heating device 2 from burning the table surface, etc.

[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 are provided with a shim 121. When the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 are horizontal, the bottom end of the shim 121 corresponding to the first heating component 21 (i.e., the shim 121 on the first heating component 21 when the first heating component 21 is horizontal, and the shim 121 on the second heating component 22 when the first heating component 21 is horizontal) is located on the same horizontal plane as the bottom end of the carrier component shim 12. This embodiment can improve the heat insulation effect of the heating device 2 and also ensure that the food cooking device is placed more stably.

[0063] As one specific embodiment, the shim 121 is provided with a handle groove 122. This embodiment allows for easy flipping of the first heating assembly 21 or the second heating assembly 22.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown in 10 to 15, the connection structure of the food cooking device of the present invention includes a connecting component 3, a linear sliding member 31 for linear sliding connection with the carrier member connecting part 11, and a connecting shaft 33 for connection with the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 respectively.

[0065] like Figure 13As shown, in one specific embodiment, the connecting shaft 33 is cylindrical, and the cross-section of the connecting shaft groove 32 is rectangular. The two bottom corners of the connecting shaft groove 32 form lower positioning portions 322 that can engage with the connecting shaft 33, and the two top corners of the connecting shaft groove 32 form top positioning portions 323 that can engage with the connecting shaft 33. In the closed vertical state, the two connecting shafts 33 are engaged with the two lower positioning portions 322 respectively; in the unfolded horizontal state, the two connecting shafts 33 are engaged with the two top positioning portions 323 respectively; and in the closed horizontal state, the two connecting shafts 33 are engaged with the lower positioning portion 322 and the top positioning portion 323 on the same side respectively. Figure 13 , 14 As shown, from Figure 13 Starting from the closed vertical state, the process of flipping the tops of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 outwards (i.e., the linear slider 31 moves up and down while rotating relative to the linear slider 31) involves the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 rotating relative to the linear slider 31 around the connecting shaft 33 while the linear slider 31 slides upwards until the closed vertical state changes to the unfolded horizontal state. Figure 13 , 15 As shown, from Figure 13 Starting from the closed vertical state, the process of flipping the tops of both the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 to one side involves the first heating component 21 or the second heating component 22 rotating relative to the linear slider 31 around its connecting axis 33 while the linear slider 31 slides upwards until the closed vertical state changes to a closed horizontal state. It is easy to understand that the unfolded horizontal state can also directly change to a closed horizontal state; the specific process will not be elaborated further. As can be seen from the above, this embodiment can achieve multiple states, including a closed vertical state, an unfolded horizontal state, and a closed horizontal state. Furthermore, in the closed horizontal state, the first heating component 21 or the second heating component 22 can rotate around the connecting axis 33, and by placing food such as eggs between them, a double-sided frying function can be achieved (in conjunction with the frying pan 5 described later). Figure 14 , 15 As shown, Figure 15 The connecting shaft 33 (which fits against the lower positioning part 322) Figure 15 The connecting shaft 33 in the lower left corner and Figure 14 The connecting shaft 33 (which fits against the top positioning part 323 on the right side) Figure 14 The connecting shaft 33 in the upper right corner is roughly at the same height; therefore, as Figure 7 As shown, the linear slider 31 in the closed horizontal state (as shown by LINE3) is higher than the linear slider 31 in the unfolded horizontal state (as shown by LINE2).

[0066] As one specific implementation, a central protrusion 321 is provided between the lower positioning portions 322, and the connecting shaft 33 can fit against the bottom end of the central protrusion 321. Figure 13 , 15 As shown, the bottom ends of the lower positioning part 322 and the middle protrusion 321 are both in contact with the connecting shaft 33, which can ensure the stability of the position of the connecting shaft 33 when in the closed vertical state and the closed horizontal state, thereby ensuring that the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are tightly fitted together; it can also ensure the stability of the lateral position of the heating device 2 when in the closed horizontal state, and will not cause the heating device 2 to move laterally due to the insertion of the baking tray component 4 into the heating device 2.

[0067] As one specific implementation, a limiting protrusion 324 is provided between the top positioning portions 323, directly opposite the middle protrusion 321. This implementation can ensure that the lateral position of the heating device 2 is stable when it is in the closed lateral state and ensure that the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are laterally aligned and will not be laterally misaligned; it can also ensure that the lateral positions of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are stable when it is in the unfolded lateral state.

[0068] As one specific implementation, the sidewall of the intermediate protrusion 321 is an arc surface coaxial with the connecting shaft 33. For example... Figure 15 As shown, during the process of changing from a closed vertical state to a closed horizontal state, as the first heating component 21 or the second heating component 22 rotates relative to the linear slider 31 around one of its connecting shafts 33, the sidewall of the middle protrusion 321 is guided by the other connecting shaft 33, which can ensure that the overall flipping process of the heating device 2 is relatively stable and there is little or no shaking.

[0069] As one specific implementation, the cross-section of the connecting shaft groove 32 is mirror-symmetrical. For example... Figure 13 As shown, the cross-section of the connecting shaft groove 32 is mirror-symmetrical about the vertical plane indicated by line LINE4. In this embodiment, when the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are closed in the horizontal state, the opening formed can face two directions (horizontal to the left and horizontal to the right), which is convenient for use.

[0070] like Figure 14 , 15As shown, in one specific embodiment, the food cooking apparatus also includes a status stop structure 34. The status stop structure 34 includes a flip-up stop groove 342 and a resilient status stop protrusion 341. The status stop protrusion 341 can be made of an elastic material or be held in place by a spring or similar material. One of the flip-up stop groove 342 and the status stop protrusion 341 is disposed on the heating device 2, and the other is disposed on the linear sliding member 31. When the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 are horizontal (e.g., in the unfolded or closed horizontal state), the status stop protrusion 341 is embedded in the flip-up stop groove 342. The top of the status stop protrusion 341 and the flip-up stop groove 342 are both hemispherical, but can also be other shapes. This embodiment ensures the stability of the position of the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 when in the unfolded or closed horizontal state.

[0071] As one specific implementation, the status stop structure 34 also includes a vertical groove 343 disposed along the linear sliding direction of the linear slider 31. The vertical groove 343 is disposed on the linear slider 31 or the heating device 2. When the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 are vertical, the status stop protrusion 341 is embedded in the vertical groove 343. During the process of changing from the closed vertical state to the unfolded horizontal state, the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 first move vertically relative to the linear slider 31, and then rotate outward respectively, which can achieve the effect of the stop. In addition, when the first heating component 21 or the second heating component 22 is rotated around the connecting shaft 33 to the vertical state in the closed horizontal state, the status stop protrusion 341 embedded in the vertical groove 343 can maintain the state of the first heating component 21 or the second heating component 22 without self-repositioning, which is convenient for double-sided frying.

[0072] like Figure 9 , 26 As shown, in this embodiment of the food cooking apparatus, the wiring structure includes an electronic control device 8 mounted on the carrier 1. Figure 26 As shown, the electronic control device 8 is connected to a flexible wire (such as...). Figure 26 (As shown by the thick dashed line in the image) and a power supply. The power supply is used to provide power, and it can be a power line connected to the mains power or a device that can provide electrical energy, such as a battery. The electronic control device 8 is a device used in the prior art to realize electronic control. It is usually a circuit board with input devices such as knobs and buttons. Through the electronic control device 8, the control and power supply of electrical components such as the heating element 241 and the swing arm motor 257 described later can be realized.

[0073] The wiring structure of the food cooking device in this embodiment of the invention further includes a wiring structure 6 disposed on the carrier component connecting part 11, the linear sliding member 31, the connecting shaft 33, and the heating device 2. The wires sequentially pass through the wiring structure 6 of the carrier component connecting part 11, the linear sliding member 31, the connecting shaft 33, and the heating device 2, and are electrically connected to the heating element 241. In this embodiment, although both the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are movable, the heating elements 241 of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 do not need to be powered by separate wires, but are powered through the wiring structure 6. This ensures that all wires are located within the food cooking device, thereby avoiding messy wiring arrangements.

[0074] As one specific implementation, the wiring structure 6 includes a fixed wiring hole 61 provided on the carrier component connecting part 11. The fixed wiring hole 61 is a strip-shaped hole and is arranged in the direction of linear sliding connection between the carrier component connecting part 11 and the linear slider 31. When the linear slider 31 moves up and down, the wire can move along the fixed wiring hole 61 with the linear slider 31, which can prevent the wire from being pulled and improve reliability.

[0075] As one specific implementation, the wiring structure 6 includes a lifting wiring hole 62 disposed on and passing through the linear slider 31, with the lifting wiring hole 62 directly opposite the fixed wiring hole 61. This implementation can prevent the wire from being pulled, thereby improving reliability.

[0076] As one specific implementation, the connecting shaft 33 is provided with a connecting shaft through hole 64 that is arranged along its axis and passes through the connecting shaft 33, and the heating device 2 is provided with a housing through hole 65. The connecting shaft 33 is connected to the heating device 2 such that the connecting shaft through hole 64 is directly opposite the housing through hole 65. This implementation can prevent the wire from being twisted and improve reliability.

[0077] As one specific implementation, a gap is provided between the inner wall end face of the connecting shaft groove 32 and the connecting shaft 33. The wire can pass through the gap between the inner wall end face of the connecting shaft groove 32 and the connecting shaft 33, which can prevent the linear sliding member 31 and the connecting shaft 33 from squeezing the wire and causing wire wear when they move, thereby improving reliability.

[0078] As one specific implementation, a wiring limiting boss 63 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner wall of the connecting shaft groove 32. One end of the connecting shaft 33 abuts against the wiring limiting boss 63 to form a gap between the inner wall end face of the connecting shaft groove 32 and the connecting shaft 33. When the heating device 2 is installed on the carrier 1 via the connecting assembly 3, even if the heating device 2 can move along the axis of the connecting shaft 33, the gap between the inner wall end face of the connecting shaft groove 32 and the connecting shaft 33 is ensured, eliminating the need for an additional axis fixing structure (a structure that prevents the heating device 2 from moving along the axis of the connecting shaft 33), thereby improving reliability and simplifying the structure.

[0079] As one specific embodiment, the connecting assembly 3 further includes a connecting sleeve 339, through which the connecting shafts 33 respectively fit snugly and are rotatable relative to the connecting sleeves 339. The heating device 2 is provided with a connecting sleeve groove 236, into which the connecting sleeve 339 is embedded. This embodiment can prevent the connecting shafts 33 from shaking and improve reliability.

[0080] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the food cooking device with a frying pan according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a carrier 1, a heating device 2, and a connecting component 3; the carrier 1 includes a carrier connecting part 11; the heating device 2 includes a first heating component 21 and a second heating component 22; the heating device 2 includes an outer cover 23 with multiple outer cover sidewalls 231 and a heating component 24 disposed between the outer cover sidewalls 231, the heating component 24 including at least a heating element 241; the first heating component 21 can be surrounded by the second heating component 22 to form a space with at least one open end.

[0081] The food cooking apparatus with a frying pan according to this embodiment of the present invention further includes a frying pan 5 disposed on the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22. The frying pan 5 is usually provided with a frying pan functional structure 51, which can be a square protrusion or a strip groove, etc., to realize the function of the frying pan.

[0082] This embodiment can achieve multiple cooking functions with only one device. When one end of the first heating component 21 and one end of the second heating component 22 are attached together and the contact surfaces between them are horizontal, there are no gaps because the ends of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are attached to each other. Compared with the technical solution where the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 are respectively hinged to the linear sliding member 31 and gaps must be reserved for the rotation of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22, this embodiment can reduce the overall footprint of the first heating component 21 and the second heating component 22 with the same frying pan area, making it easier to use.

[0083] As one specific implementation, a frying pan 5 has a frying pan guide groove 53 on its inner side; the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 have guide notches 235, and when one end of the first heating component 21 and one end of the second heating component 22 are in contact with each other and the contact surfaces between them are horizontal, the frying pan guide groove 53 is directly opposite the guide notch 235. Figure 3 As shown, when viewed from above, the frying pan guide groove 53 has a portion located within the guide notch 235, thus ensuring that the frying pan guide groove 53 is directly opposite the guide notch 235. Oil and other substances produced during cooking on the frying pan 5 flow into the frying pan guide groove 53 and then drip from the guide notch 235 into the serving dish 18 (described later), making it easy to clean the grease and other substances from the frying pan 5. Furthermore, when the first heating element 21 and the second heating element 22 are in contact with each other and their contact surfaces are vertical, air can enter the heating device 2 through the guide notch 235 and flow upwards, improving the cooking effect when the first heating element 21 and the second heating element 22 are in contact with each other and their contact surfaces are vertical.

[0084] As one specific embodiment, the carrier component 1 also includes a carrier component elevation portion 12 fixed relative to the carrier component connecting portion 11. The carrier component elevation portion 12 is located below the heating device 2, and a serving plate 18 is provided on the carrier component elevation portion 12. The frying pan guide groove 53 is aligned with the guide notch 235 and the serving plate 18 in sequence. This embodiment can easily clean grease and other substances from the frying pan 5.

[0085] As one specific implementation, the carrier component's raised portion 12 has a serving dish opening 181 and a serving dish slide rail 182; the serving dish 18 is slidably connected to the serving dish slide rail 182, and the frying pan guide groove 53 is sequentially aligned with the guide notch 235, the serving dish opening 181, and the serving dish 18. This implementation allows the serving dish 18 to be easily removed and cleaned.

[0086] As one specific implementation, the frying pan 5 is detachably connected to the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22.

[0087] As one specific implementation, the first heating component 21 and / or the second heating component 22 are provided with a pan fixing buckle 52 having a rotational reset tendency, and the pan fixing buckle 52 abuts against the pan 5. For example, the pan fixing buckle 52 is hinged to the first heating component 21, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the pan fixing buckle 52 and the first heating component 21, so that the pan fixing buckle 52 has a rotational reset tendency. This rotational reset tendency causes the pan fixing buckle 52 to move closer to the pan 5, thereby fixing the pan 5 to the first heating component 21, and the same applies to the second heating component 22. By overcoming the rotational reset tendency of the pan fixing buckle 52 and causing the pan fixing buckle 52 to rotate in the opposite direction, the pan 5 can be removed; conversely, the pan 5 can be installed, thus facilitating the removal and installation of the pan 5.

[0088] like Figures 16 to 20 As shown, the heating device of the food cooking apparatus of this utility model embodiment includes a heating device 2. The heating device 2 includes an outer cover 23 with a plurality of outer cover sidewalls 231 and a heating component 24 disposed between the outer cover sidewalls 231. The heating component 24 includes at least a heating element 241. The first heating component 21 can be surrounded by the second heating component 22 to form a space with at least one end open.

[0089] The heating element 24 can float up and down relative to the outer cover 23 and tends to move away from the outer cover 23. This embodiment ensures that the heating element 24 is close to food or other components (such as the baking pan assembly 4 described later), thereby ensuring the cooking effect.

[0090] As one specific implementation, the heating device 2 also includes a pressure elastic member 245; the heating assembly 24 includes a heating element carrier 242, the heating element 241 is fixed on the heating element carrier 242, the heating element carrier 242 is provided with a pressure end 246, and the two ends of the pressure elastic member 245 are respectively connected to the pressure end 246 and the outer cover 23, so that the heating assembly 24 can float up and down relative to the outer cover 23 and has a tendency to move away from the outer cover 23; for example, the pressure elastic member 245 is a spring that provides repulsive force and its two ends are respectively abutted against the pressure end 246 and the outer cover 23.

[0091] As one specific implementation, the outer cover sidewall 231 is provided with a heating element groove 232; the pressure-applied end 246 is embedded in the heating element groove 232 and can slide linearly along the heating element groove 232, and there are at least two heating element grooves 232 that are parallel to each other. This implementation can ensure that the heating component 24 floats up and down in an attitude parallel to the contact surface, thereby ensuring the cooking effect.

[0092] As one specific implementation, a heat-distributing element 243 is fixedly disposed on the heating element carrier 242; the heating element 241 is located between the heat-distributing element 243 and the outer cover 23, and the projection of the heating element 241 on the heat-distributing element 243 is completely located within the heat-distributing element 243. The heating assembly 24 is made of a metal plate or the like, and after being heated by the heating element 241, the heat from the heating element 241 is evenly distributed on the heating assembly 24, ensuring the cooking effect.

[0093] As one specific implementation, the heating element carrier 242 is provided with a contact rail 244; the contact rail 244 is located outside the heating element 243, in other words, the heating element 243 is located between the contact rail 244 and the outer cover 23. The projection of the contact rail 244 onto the heating element 243 is completely within the heating element 243. The contact rail 244 is usually made of a thin steel wire or the like, and is used for direct contact with food to ensure cooking effect. The contact rail 244 can be fixed to the heating element 243 or movable relative to the heating element 243.

[0094] In one specific implementation, the contact rail 244 is provided with a contact rail extension end 247, and the outer cover 23 is connected to a contact rail elastic member 248. The other end of the contact rail elastic member 248 is connected to the contact rail extension end 247, causing the contact rail 244 to tend to move away from the outer cover 23. Typically, the contact rail extension end 247 is embedded in the contact rail groove 237 and can move along the contact rail groove 237. The contact rail elastic member 248 can be an elastic steel wire. This implementation ensures that the contact rail 244 is in close contact with food and other food items to fix the food, thereby ensuring the cooking effect.

[0095] like Figure 16 As shown, the depth adjustment hole 259 is positioned in the depth direction. In one specific embodiment, the first heating assembly 21 and / or the second heating assembly 22 are provided with a depth adjustment member 25 that can move along the depth direction; and the depth adjustment member 25 is located outside the heating element 243 (in other words, the heating element 243 is located between the depth adjustment member 25 and the outer cover 23), allowing the depth adjustment member 25 to push food or other items within the space formed by the first heating assembly 21 and the second heating assembly 22, thereby facilitating the removal of food or other items (such as toast) from the heating device 2.

[0096] like Figure 19 , 20As shown, in one specific embodiment, the outer cover 23 is provided with a power rotating arm 252 (driven by a rotating arm motor 257 to have rotational power) and a depth power member 251 that is linearly slidably connected to the outer cover 23 along the depth direction (for example, through a depth slide rod 258 provided along the depth direction). The depth power member 251 is provided with a deflection groove 253 that has an angle with the depth direction. One end of the power rotating arm 252 is provided with a protrusion (not shown in the figure) that inserts into the deflection groove 253. One end of the depth adjustment member 25 is fixedly connected to the depth power member 251 (one end of the depth adjustment member 25 usually passes through the depth adjustment member hole 259 and is fixedly connected to the depth power member 251). The rotation of the power rotating arm 252 causes the depth power member 251 to move along the depth direction, thereby enabling the depth adjustment member 25 to move along the depth direction.

[0097] like Figures 21 to 25 As shown, the baking tray rack structure of the food cooking device of this utility model embodiment is used for horizontal movement to insert into the food cooking device, and includes a baking tray assembly 4.

[0098] The baking tray assembly 4 includes a lower baking tray component 41, which includes a lower baking tray 411 and a baffle plate 412 fixedly connected to the lower baking tray 411. The baffle plate 412 can completely cover the opening of the food cooking device, and the lower baking tray 411 is horizontal when the baffle plate 412 covers the opening of the food cooking device. This embodiment allows the baking tray assembly 4 to be easily moved horizontally and inserted into the food cooking device in a closed, horizontal state. For the aforementioned embodiment of the heating device 2, which extends along the outer cover sidewall 231 to both ends of the outer cover sidewall 231 to form a space with openings at both ends, and the embodiment with a flow guide notch 235, additional components of corresponding shapes (not shown in the figures) can be provided as needed to seal the opening and the flow guide notch 235 to ensure the internal sealing of the heating device 2.

[0099] As one specific implementation, the baffle plate 412 is perpendicular to the lower baking pan 411, and the bottom end of the lower baking pan 411 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 412. For a food cooking device in a closed horizontal state, the baking pan assembly 4 moves horizontally and inserts into the food cooking device, ensuring that the baffle plate 412 completely covers the opening of the food cooking device.

[0100] As one specific implementation, the lower baking pan component 41 also includes a sliding bracket 413. The lower baking pan component 41 is disposed on the side of the lower baking pan 411 and fixed relative to the lower baking pan component 411. Figure 25As shown, when viewed from the side, the height of one end of the sliding bracket 413 increases with the direction from the lower baking pan 411 towards the baffle 412. For example, when viewed from the side, one end of the sliding bracket 413 is approximately semi-circular, with one end of the semi-circular shape extending into a rectangle. The outer cover 23 or heating assembly 24 of the heating device 2 is provided with an insertion slide rail 234. Whether the insertion slide rail 234 is fixed relative to the outer cover 23 or can float up and down with the lower baking pan 41, the sliding bracket 413, in conjunction with the insertion slide rail 234, allows the lower baking pan 41 to be moved horizontally more easily and inserted into the food cooking device.

[0101] As one specific implementation, the baking tray assembly 4 also includes an upper baking tray component 42, which includes an upper baking tray 421 and an upper baking tray holder 422 with an upper baking tray connecting arm 423. One end of the upper baking tray connecting arm 423 is hinged to the upper baking tray 421. This hinge can be a damped hinge achieved through a damping bearing or similar means, meaning that a certain force needs to be applied to the upper baking tray 421 to allow it to rotate relative to one end of the upper baking tray connecting arm 423. The upper baking tray holder 422 is connected to the lower baking tray component 41, creating a gap between the upper baking tray 421 and the lower baking tray 411. For example, the upper baking tray holder 422 can be placed on one of the lower baking tray 411, a baffle plate 412, or a sliding bracket 413, creating a gap between the lower baking tray 411 and the upper baking tray 421. The upper baking tray 421 can be parallel to the lower baking tray 411 with a gap, or it can be at an angle to the lower baking tray 411 with a gap. It is easy to understand that the "upper" in "upper baking tray component 42" refers to the component below it. This means that there can be multiple upper baking tray components 42 arranged from bottom to top, resulting in a multi-layered upper baking tray 421. This embodiment can form a multi-layered baking tray, improving space utilization. Figure 24 As shown, the heating component 24, which can float up and down, can press down on the upper baking pan 421 to make the upper baking pan 421 horizontal, thereby ensuring that the food in the upper baking pan 421 is heated evenly.

[0102] As one specific implementation, a baking pan positioning member 43 is hinged to the side wall or baffle plate 412 of the lower baking pan 411; the baking pan positioning member 43 is provided with a baking pan positioning groove 431, and the upper baking pan rack 422 is provided with an insertion positioning arm 432 that is embedded in the baking pan positioning groove 431. This implementation can ensure accurate positioning between the lower baking pan member 41 and the upper baking pan member 42 in the direction perpendicular to the baffle plate 412, which is especially important for the heating device 2 with a small internal space. In addition, when the upper baking pan member 42 is placed on the lower baking pan member 41, after the insertion positioning arm 432 is inserted into the baking pan positioning groove 431 of the rotatable baking pan positioning member 43 in a downward tilted position, the upper baking pan rack 422 can be moved downward to easily place the upper baking pan member 42 on the lower baking pan member 41.

[0103] As one specific implementation, the upper baking pan component 42 is fixedly connected to an upper baking pan handle 429; the baffle plate 412 is provided with a positioning notch 414; the upper baking pan handle 429 (i.e., the positioning part 424 of the upper baking pan handle 429) can be inserted into the positioning notch 414. This implementation can ensure accurate positioning between the lower baking pan component 41 and the upper baking pan component 42 in the direction along the baffle plate 412, which is especially important for the heating device 2 with a small internal space.

[0104] As one specific implementation, the baffle plate 412 is fixedly connected to the lower baking pan handle 419; the upper baking pan handle 429 is provided with an elastic arm retainer 428; the elastic arm retainer 428 can abut against the lower baking pan handle 419 to limit the upper baking pan handle 429 from moving away from the lower baking pan handle 419. For example, the elastic arm retainer 428 is made of elastic material such as plastic, and its overall shape is arc-shaped. This implementation can prevent the weight of the upper baking pan 421 from causing the upper baking pan handle 429 to tilt upwards, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the lower baking pan component 41 and the upper baking pan component 42.
