Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking, and in particular to a door structure and cooking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cooking appliances with steaming and baking functions typically use a triple-layered tempered glass door structure, with a viewing window on the front panel to observe the food inside. To achieve intelligent cooking, a camera module is often installed on the top or corner of the inner pot to identify the shape or color of the food. However, with the camera mounted inside the pot, oil and grease generated during cooking easily adhere to its surface, causing the camera to malfunction and making it inconvenient for users to identify and clean. Furthermore, the camera module's drive module is constantly exposed to the high temperatures inside the pot, resulting in significant heat radiation and potentially causing it to degrade and break down. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a door structure and cooking equipment to address the above problems, thereby solving the issues of camera getting dirty easily and failing at high temperatures, and improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking equipment.
[0004] This utility model provides a door structure for installation in a housing, comprising: a door assembly with a heat dissipation duct; a first heat dissipation assembly disposed within the heat dissipation duct, the first heat dissipation assembly including a first fan; and a camera assembly disposed within the heat dissipation duct, the camera assembly including a housing, a lens module, and a drive module, the housing having an air inlet and an air outlet at its two ends respectively, the air inlet facing the outlet of the first fan, the lens module and the drive module both being disposed within the housing, and the drive module being located on the side of the lens module closer to the air inlet, the lens module facing the housing.
[0005] With this configuration, when the first fan is operating, airflow enters the housing through the air inlet, flows sequentially through the drive module and lens module, and exits through the air outlet, forming a directional heat dissipation path. The drive module, being close to the air inlet, receives priority heat dissipation, preventing circuit failure due to high temperatures. The airflow expels heat from within the housing, working in conjunction with the cooling duct to prevent the camera components from overheating, thus addressing the issue of reduced lifespan due to high temperatures in traditional cameras. Furthermore, the lens module is installed inside the door assembly, preventing direct adhesion of cooking oil and facilitating cleaning.
[0006] In one embodiment, the housing further includes a detachably connected camera mounting base and a camera mounting cover, wherein the lens module and the drive module are detachably disposed on the camera mounting base, and the camera mounting cover has a lens hole corresponding to the lens module.
[0007] With this setup, during assembly, the lens module and drive module are first installed onto the camera mounting base, then the camera mounting cover is closed and secured, completing the installation of the camera components. During disassembly, simply removing and opening the camera mounting cover allows for easy maintenance or replacement of the lens module and drive module, improving maintenance efficiency and convenience.
[0008] In one embodiment, the camera mounting base includes a first fixing part and a fixing groove arranged at intervals, one end of the lens module is disposed in the fixing groove, and the other end is snapped and fixed to the first fixing part.
[0009] With this configuration, the first end of the lens module is embedded in the fixing slot to achieve initial positioning and fixation; the second end is connected to the first fixing part by a snap-fit method to further enhance the fixation stability of the lens module, prevent it from loosening or shifting during use, and ensure the working stability and imaging quality of the camera assembly.
[0010] In one embodiment, the camera mounting base further includes at least two limiting portions, which are arranged circumferentially around the lens module and are capable of abutting against the outer periphery of the lens module.
[0011] With this configuration, the limiting part cooperates with the first fixing part and the fixing groove to limit the outer periphery of the lens module from different directions, effectively preventing the lens module from rotating or shaking in the circumferential direction, improving its installation accuracy and stability, and thus ensuring the shooting effect of the camera assembly.
[0012] In one embodiment, the camera assembly is located on top of the door assembly, and when the door assembly closes the housing, the optical axis of the lens module is tilted downwards.
[0013] This configuration allows the camera module to be tilted towards the inside of the cabinet, expanding the field of view and better capturing the food inside the cabinet from various angles and layers. This provides more comprehensive image information for smart cooking, improving cooking results and accuracy.
[0014] In one embodiment, the first heat dissipation component further includes a first air guide component connected to the outlet of the first fan, the first air guide component having a first air guide port that is sealed and connected to the air inlet.
[0015] With this configuration, the first air guide component can direct the air blown out by the first fan through the first air guide port to the air inlet, making the airflow more concentrated and efficient into the housing of the camera component, enhancing the heat dissipation effect, and ensuring that the camera component works stably in high-temperature environments.
[0016] In one embodiment, the door structure further includes a second heat dissipation component, which includes a second fan and a second air guide component connected to the outlet of the second fan. The second air guide component is provided with a second air vent facing the camera component.
[0017] With this configuration, while the first fan dissipates heat inside the housing, the airflow blown out by the second fan is guided to the housing through the second air guide component, dissipating heat from the camera component outside the housing and accelerating heat exchange on the housing surface. The two heat dissipation components form a cross airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the camera component.
[0018] In one embodiment, the door structure further includes two sets of lighting components, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the camera component.
[0019] This design allows the lighting components to provide uniform illumination to the camera components from both sides, solving the problem of uneven lighting leading to poor camera exposure in traditional steam and oven cooking equipment. This improves the camera's image quality, enabling it to more accurately identify the color and state of food, and providing clearer image information for intelligent cooking. Furthermore, placing the lighting components within the door structure reduces their temperature and minimizes the impact of heat radiation from the equipment's interior on the lighting components.
[0020] In one embodiment, the lighting assembly includes a lamp holder and a lamp plate, a lampshade, a light diffuser, and a reflector disposed on the lamp holder. The lampshade is located on the side of the lamp plate facing the housing. The light diffuser is located between the lampshade and the lamp plate. The reflector is adjacent to the lampshade and forms an angle with the light-emitting surface of the lampshade.
[0021] With this setup, the light emitted from the lamp panel is scattered by the light diffuser, eliminating the light spots of the lamp beads and forming a uniform light source. The lampshade initially converges the light, and the angle design between the reflector and the light-emitting surface of the lampshade can reflect some of the scattered light into the interior of the cabinet, making the light inside the cabinet more abundant and uniform, which is convenient for users to observe and operate, and improves the cooking experience and safety.
[0022] In one embodiment, the door assembly further includes a mounting bracket and a front panel and a glass assembly respectively detachably disposed on both sides of the mounting bracket, wherein the heat dissipation duct is formed between the mounting bracket and the glass assembly, and the mounting bracket has a cutout position corresponding to the drive module.
[0023] This design allows for easy cleaning of the removable front panel and glass assembly. When the glass assembly becomes oily, it can be directly removed and wiped clean, solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of traditional doors. The heat dissipation duct is formed through the gap between the mounting bracket and the glass assembly, creating a complete heat dissipation path in conjunction with the heat dissipation components. The perforated areas reduce the shielding of wireless signals by the metal bracket, ensuring stable communication between the camera and the control system. Furthermore, the glass assembly ensures that the lens module can clearly capture images inside the enclosure, and the replaceable front panel allows users to use personalized wood panels that match their kitchen cabinets. The opaque wood panel also prevents external light from interfering with the camera's image capture.
[0024] In one embodiment, the glass assembly includes two stacked glass panes, at least one of which has a low-emissivity layer.
[0025] This design allows the low-emissivity layer to have excellent thermal insulation properties, effectively reflecting heat radiation, reducing heat conduction, and minimizing the transfer of heat from the inside of the enclosure to the camera components. The air layer between the two glass layers forms a composite thermal insulation barrier with the low-emissivity layer, effectively reflecting heat radiation and slowing down heat conduction. Combined with the heat dissipation duct, this lowers the operating temperature of the camera components. The double-layer structure reduces condensation and improves visible light transmittance, which, combined with the lighting components, optimizes the image quality captured by the camera components. At the same time, the double-layer glass enhances impact resistance, and the removable design facilitates cleaning while reducing heat loss from the enclosure, combining safety, energy efficiency, and practicality.
[0026] This utility model also provides a cooking device, which includes the above-mentioned door structure.
[0027] This design allows the cooking device to achieve clear, real-time imaging of food inside the cabinet by placing the camera component within the door's ventilation duct and using a heat dissipation system to create a directional heat dissipation path. This solves the problems of cameras easily getting dirty, malfunctioning due to high temperatures, and uneven exposure found in traditional devices. Users can use the camera to identify the food's condition and, in conjunction with the control system, achieve automatic cooking, such as adjusting temperature and time based on color, improving cooking precision and convenience. The removable front panel and glass components facilitate daily cleaning and extend the device's lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Traditional cooking appliances with steaming and baking functions typically use a triple-layered tempered glass door structure, with a viewing window on the front panel to observe the food inside. To achieve intelligent cooking, a camera module is often installed on the top or corner of the inner pot to identify the shape or color of the food. However, with the camera mounted inside the pot, oil and grease generated during cooking easily adhere to its surface, causing the camera to malfunction and making it inconvenient for users to identify and clean. Furthermore, the camera module's drive module is constantly exposed to the high temperatures inside the pot, resulting in significant heat radiation and potentially causing it to degrade and break down.
[0043] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1As shown, this application provides a door structure and cooking equipment to solve the problems of camera getting dirty easily and failing at high temperatures, thereby improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking equipment.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this application first provides a door structure for installation in a housing, including a door assembly 1, a first heat dissipation assembly 31, and a camera assembly 2. The door assembly 1 is provided with a heat dissipation duct 13, and the first heat dissipation assembly 31 is located in the heat dissipation duct 13. The first heat dissipation assembly 31 includes a first fan 311. The camera assembly 2 is located in the heat dissipation duct 13. The camera assembly 2 includes a housing 27, a lens module 21, and a drive module 22. The housing 27 has an air inlet 25 and an air outlet 26 at its two ends, respectively. The air inlet 25 faces the outlet of the first fan 311. The lens module 21 and the drive module 22 are both located in the housing 27, and the drive module 22 is located on the side of the lens module 21 closer to the air inlet 25. The lens module 21 faces the housing.
[0045] The shape and position of the air inlet 25 and air outlet 26 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the air inlet 25 can be designed as a long strip or a circle to adapt to the air outlet shape of different fans; the area of the air outlet 26 can be appropriately increased to improve heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the internal structure of the housing 27 can be optimized, such as by setting a guide plate to make the airflow flow more evenly through the lens module 21 and the drive module 22, thereby enhancing the uniformity of heat dissipation.
[0046] With this configuration, when the first fan 311 is operating, airflow enters the housing 27 through the air inlet 25, flows sequentially through the drive module 22 and the lens module 21, and exits through the air outlet 26, forming a directional heat dissipation path. The drive module 22, being close to the air inlet 25, receives priority heat dissipation, preventing circuit failure due to high temperatures. The airflow dissipates heat from within the housing 27, working in conjunction with the heat dissipation duct 13 to prevent the camera assembly 2 from overheating, thus solving the problem of lifespan degradation caused by high temperatures in traditional cameras. Furthermore, the lens module 21 is installed inside the door assembly 1, preventing direct adhesion of oil stains generated during cooking and facilitating cleaning.
[0047] It should be noted that the side wall of the heat dissipation duct 13 facing the cabinet is a light-transmitting structure, which allows the lens module 21 to clearly capture the image inside the cabinet.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 27 further includes a detachably connected camera mounting base 23 and a camera mounting cover 24. The lens module 21 and the drive module 22 are detachably disposed on the camera mounting base 23, and the camera mounting cover 24 is provided with a lens hole 241 corresponding to the lens module 21.
[0049] The camera mounting base 23 and the camera mounting cover 24 can be connected in various detachable ways, such as screw connection, snap-fit connection, magnetic connection, etc. For example, the camera mounting base 23 and the camera mounting cover 24 can be connected by multiple screws to ensure installation reliability; or magnets can be set on the camera mounting base 23 and the camera mounting cover 24 to achieve fixation by magnetic attraction, which is convenient and quick. This design facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the camera assembly 2. During assembly, the lens module 21 and the drive module 22 are first installed on the camera mounting base 23, and then the camera mounting cover 24 is closed and fixed to complete the installation of the camera assembly 2. During disassembly, the camera mounting cover 24 is simply released and opened to easily maintain or replace the lens module 21 and the drive module 22, improving maintenance efficiency and convenience. The air inlet 25 and the air outlet 26 can be formed by the camera mounting base 23 and the camera mounting cover 24, or they can be separately opened on the camera mounting base 23 or the camera mounting cover 24.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera mounting base 23 includes a first fixing part 231 and a fixing groove 232 arranged at intervals. One end of the lens module 21 is disposed in the fixing groove 232, and the other end is snapped and fixed to the first fixing part 231. With this configuration, the first end of the lens module 21 is embedded in the fixing groove 232, achieving initial positioning and fixation; the second end is connected to the first fixing part 231 by snapping, further enhancing the fixation stability of the lens module 21, preventing it from loosening or shifting during use, and ensuring the working stability and imaging quality of the camera assembly 2.
[0051] In another embodiment, the first fixing part 231 and the second end of the lens module 21 can be fixed by screws, clips, or adhesives.
[0052] In another embodiment, the shape and size of the fixing groove 232 can be adjusted according to the shape of the lens module 21, such as being designed as a circular, square or irregular groove, to better fit the lens module 21 of different shapes.
[0053] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the camera mounting base 23 further includes at least two limiting parts, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lens module 21 and can abut against the outer periphery of the lens module 21. Specifically, the camera mounting base 23 includes two limiting buckles 233 disposed on the lower side of the lens module 21 and two limiting support columns 234 disposed on the left and right sides of the lens module 21. With this arrangement, the four limiting parts cooperate with the first fixing part 231 and the fixing groove 232 to limit the outer periphery of the lens module 21 from different directions, effectively preventing the lens module 21 from rotating or shaking in the circumferential direction, improving its installation accuracy and stability, and thus ensuring the shooting effect of the camera assembly 2.
[0054] In another embodiment, the shape and number of the limiting parts can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the limiting parts can be designed as elastic limiting posts that can automatically adapt to the outer periphery of the lens module 21 and provide uniform limiting force; or the number of limiting parts can be increased to further enhance the limiting effect on the lens module 21.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera assembly 2 is located on top of the door assembly 1. When the door assembly 1 is closed, the optical axis of the lens module 21 is tilted downwards. This arrangement allows the lens module 21 of the camera assembly 2 to face inwards at an angle, expanding the field of view and better capturing the various angles and layers of food inside the cabinet. This provides more comprehensive image information for intelligent cooking, improving cooking results and accuracy. Specifically, the lens module 21 is installed in the middle of the top of the door, with its lower end in the fixing groove 232 and its upper end snapped into place with the first fixing part 231, thus achieving a downward tilt of the optical axis of the lens module 21.
[0056] Preferably, the angle between the optical axis of the lens module 21 and the horizontal plane is 30 to 35 degrees, such as 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, or 35 degrees. This setting maximizes the coverage of the interior of the appliance, allowing users to easily observe the cooking process.
[0057] In another embodiment, the optical axis tilt angle of the lens module 21 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the housing to optimize the field of view. For example, for a larger housing, the tilt angle can be increased to cover a wider area; for a housing with a special shape, the tilt angle can be adjusted to avoid blind spots.
[0058] In another embodiment, the camera assembly 2 can be installed on one side of the top of the door assembly 1, with the optical axis of the lens module 21 tilted downwards to the other side; the camera assembly 2 can be installed in the middle of the bottom of the door assembly 1, with the optical axis of the lens module 21 tilted upwards; the camera assembly 2 can be installed on both sides of the bottom of the door assembly 1 or in other positions to adapt to different box structures and shooting needs.
[0059] In another embodiment, the tilt angle of the lens module 21 is designed to be adjustable, and different angles can be adjusted by rotating the bracket or adjusting the bolts to adapt to different sized housings.
[0060] The drive module 22 can be initially fixed to the corresponding limit post 235 on the camera mounting base 23 through at least two limit holes 221. Then, the camera mounting cover 24 is closed, and the drive module 22 and the housing 27 are fixed together with at least two screws. At least two support feet 242 are designed on the camera mounting cover 24. After the camera assembly 2 is assembled, it is fixed to the door assembly 1 with at least two screws at the support feet 242.
[0061] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first heat dissipation assembly 31 further includes a first air guide assembly 312 communicating with the outlet of the first fan 311. The first air guide assembly 312 is provided with a first air guide port 3121 that is sealed and connected to the air inlet 25. Specifically, the first air guide port 3121 faces the air inlet 25, and its cross-sectional dimensions match those of the air inlet 25. The edge of the air inlet 25 of the housing 27 is designed to fit tightly against the edge of the first air guide port 3121 of the first air guide assembly 312. Specifically, the first air guide assembly 312 and the camera mounting cover 24 are respectively provided with the same first through hole 3122 and second through hole 243 at corresponding positions. The camera mounting cover 24 is then fixed to the first air guide assembly 312 with a screw, further ensuring that the camera assembly 2 is tightly fitted to the first air guide assembly 312. With this configuration, the first air guide component 312 can guide the air blown out by the first fan 311 through the first air guide port 3121 to the air inlet 25, so that the airflow enters the housing 27 of the camera component 2 more concentratedly and efficiently, enhances the heat dissipation effect, and ensures that the camera component 2 works stably in high-temperature environments.
[0062] In another embodiment, the shape and direction of the first air vent 3121 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the first air vent 3121 can be designed as an adjustable air vent, adjusting the airflow direction according to the actual position and needs of the camera assembly 2, thereby improving the flexibility and targeting of heat dissipation; or the first air vent 3121 can be a multi-hole air vent, so that the airflow is more evenly distributed into the camera assembly 2.
[0063] In another embodiment, the first air guide assembly 312 may employ other structures, such as ducts or deflectors, to guide the airflow path.
[0064] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the door structure further includes a second heat dissipation component 32, which includes a second fan 321 and a second air guide component 322. The second air guide component 322 has a second air vent 3221 facing the camera component 2. With this configuration, while the first fan 311 dissipates heat inside the housing 27, the airflow blown by the second fan 321 is guided to the housing 27 through the second air guide component 322, dissipating heat from the outside of the housing 27 on the entire camera component 2. This accelerates heat exchange on the surface of the housing 27, and the two heat dissipation components form a cross airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the camera component 2.
[0065] Specifically, the heat dissipation duct 13 is a U-shaped duct with both ends facing downwards. The door assembly 1 also has a heat dissipation space, with the U-shaped duct located on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation space. The second fan 321 is located inside the U-shaped duct and below the first heat dissipation assembly 31. The second air vent 3221 faces the heat dissipation space. When the second fan 321 is running, it draws in the cold air below the door structure through the lower opening of the door assembly 1 and blows it into the heat dissipation space. At the same time, the gas in the heat dissipation space also flows towards the housing 27 to dissipate heat from the camera assembly 2 as a whole outside the housing 27. Furthermore, according to the principle of least fluid resistance, the second fan 321 can also relay the cold air to the first heat dissipation assembly 31, ensuring that the U-shaped duct continuously draws in the cold air below the door structure.
[0066] In another embodiment, the door structure can be composed of multiple second fans 321 and second air guide components 322 to improve heat dissipation capacity.
[0067] In another embodiment, the second heat dissipation component 32 is provided with only the second air guide component 322, and the airflow of the first fan 311 is used to form natural convection for heat dissipation; or the second heat dissipation component 32 is provided with only the second fan 321, and the outlet of the second fan 321 faces the housing 27.
[0068] In another embodiment, the second heat dissipation component 32 can be designed as a rotatable structure to facilitate adjustment of the airflow direction.
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the door structure further includes two sets of lighting components 4, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the camera component 2. The lighting components 4 provide uniform illumination to the camera component 2 from both sides, solving the problem of uneven lighting leading to poor camera exposure in traditional steam-roasting cooking equipment, improving the shooting effect of the camera component 2, enabling it to more accurately identify the color and state of food, and providing clearer image information for intelligent cooking. Furthermore, the placement of the lighting components 4 within the door structure can reduce their temperature and decrease the impact of heat radiation from the inner liner of the equipment on the lighting components 4.
[0070] Specifically, two lighting components 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the heat dissipation space at the connection with the U-shaped air duct, and extend along the height direction of the door component 1 to separate the U-shaped air duct and the heat dissipation space, ensuring the airflow direction within the U-shaped air duct and the heat dissipation space. At the same time, the cool air in the U-shaped air duct and the heat dissipation space can also cool down the lighting components 4, ensuring that the lighting components 4 work normally.
[0071] In another embodiment, the number and position of the lighting components 4 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of lighting components 4 can be increased to form multi-point lighting and further improve the uniformity of lighting; or the lighting components 4 can be installed in other positions of the camera component 2, such as above or below, to adapt to different lighting requirements.
[0072] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the lighting assembly 4 includes a lamp holder 42 and a lamp plate 41, a lampshade 43, a light diffuser 44, and a reflector 45 disposed on the lamp holder 42. The lampshade 43 is located on the side of the lamp plate 41 facing the cabinet, the light diffuser 44 is located between the lampshade 43 and the lamp plate 41, and the reflector 45 is adjacent to the lampshade 43 and forms an angle with the light-emitting surface of the lampshade 43. With this arrangement, the light emitted from the lamp plate 41 is scattered by the light diffuser 44, eliminating the light spots of the lamp beads and forming a uniform light source; the lampshade 43 initially converges the light, and the angle design between the reflector 45 and the light-emitting surface of the lampshade 43 can reflect some of the scattered light into the interior of the cabinet, making the light inside the cabinet more abundant and uniform, facilitating user observation and operation, and improving the cooking experience and safety.
[0073] The reflector 45 and the lampshade 43 can be set at different tilt angles to optimize the light distribution.
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the door assembly 1 further includes a mounting bracket 11 and a front panel 12 and a glass assembly 5 detachably disposed on both sides of the mounting bracket 11. A heat dissipation duct 13 is formed between the mounting bracket 11 and the glass assembly 5. The mounting bracket 11 is provided with a cutout position 111 for the drive module 22.
[0075] The detachable connection method between the front panel 12 and the glass assembly 5 can be varied. For example, screw connection, snap-on connection or magnetic connection can be used to improve the convenience of disassembly and installation; or a slide rail can be designed on the mounting bracket 11 so that the front panel 12 and the glass assembly 5 can be slidably installed along the slide rail for easy operation.
[0076] This design allows for easy cleaning of the removable front panel 12 and glass assembly 5. When the glass assembly 5 becomes oily, it can be directly removed and wiped clean, solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of traditional doors. The heat dissipation duct 13 is formed through the gap between the mounting bracket 11 and the glass assembly 5, creating a complete heat dissipation path in conjunction with the heat dissipation components. The openwork 111 reduces the shielding of wireless signals by the metal bracket, ensuring stable communication between the camera and the control system. Furthermore, the glass assembly 5 ensures that the lens module 21 can clearly capture images inside the cabinet, and the replaceable front panel 12 allows users to use personalized wood panels that match their kitchen cabinets. Simultaneously, the opaque wood panel prevents external light from interfering with the camera assembly 2's image capture.
[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the glass assembly 5 includes two stacked glass panes, at least one of which has a low-emissivity layer. This arrangement provides the low-emissivity layer with excellent thermal insulation properties, effectively reflecting heat radiation, reducing heat conduction, and minimizing heat transfer from the interior of the enclosure to the camera assembly 2. The air layer between the two glass panes and the low-emissivity layer form a composite thermal insulation barrier, effectively reflecting heat radiation and slowing heat conduction. Combined with the heat dissipation duct 13, this lowers the operating temperature of the camera assembly 2. The double-layer structure reduces condensation and improves visible light transmittance, optimizing image quality when combined with the lighting assembly 4. Simultaneously, the double-layer glass enhances impact resistance, the removable design facilitates cleaning, and reduces heat loss from the enclosure, combining safety, energy efficiency, and practicality.
[0078] In another embodiment, the structure of the glass assembly 5 can be adjusted according to actual heat insulation requirements. For example, the number of glass layers can be increased to form a three- or more-layered low-emissivity glass structure to enhance the heat insulation effect.
[0079] In another embodiment, glass assembly 5 can be made of other types of glass, such as vacuum glass or laminated glass, to improve thermal insulation, heat insulation, or safety performance. Coating technology can also be used to improve the light transmittance or reflectivity of the glass.
[0080] This invention also provides a cooking device, including the aforementioned door structure. With this configuration, the cooking device, by placing the camera assembly 2 within the heat dissipation duct 13 of the door and forming a directional heat dissipation path with a heat dissipation component, achieves real-time clear imaging of food inside the enclosure, solving the problems of camera susceptibility to dirt, high-temperature failure, and uneven exposure in traditional devices. Users can identify the food's state through the camera and, in conjunction with the control system, achieve automatic cooking, such as adjusting temperature and time based on color, improving cooking precision and convenience. The detachable front panel 12 and glass assembly 5 facilitate daily cleaning and extend the device's lifespan.
[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0082] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
