Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooking equipment, and specifically provides a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking equipment refers to various utensils or devices that process food ingredients through heating, steaming, baking, stir-frying, etc., to bring them to an edible state. These devices typically possess core functions such as energy conversion (e.g., converting electrical energy, gas energy, etc. into heat energy), temperature control, and food containment. They are widely used in home kitchens, the catering industry, and food processing, and are essential tools for cooking and processing food ingredients.

[0003] Common cooking appliances include ovens, microwave ovens, steam ovens, and air fryers. Currently, some cooking appliances on the market, such as ovens and microwave ovens, have control panels integrated into the handles, which makes the appliances look more streamlined.

[0004] However, when pulling the handle, users may accidentally touch the control panel on the handle, which may change the cooking parameters and affect the cooking effect of the ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem of accidental touches on the control panel on the handle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cooking device, comprising:

[0007] The enclosure has a defined heating space inside;

[0008] A door, which is pivotally connected to the housing, to open and close the heated space;

[0009] A handle is provided on the side of the door away from the box body. The side of the handle facing the door body has a latch groove. The front surface of the handle is tilted forward in a direction away from the opening of the latch groove, and the front surface has a control panel.

[0010] Optionally, the door body is pivotally connected to the lower side of the box body, the handle is located at the top of the door body, and the opening direction of the latch groove faces upward.

[0011] Optionally, the minimum distance between the front groove wall of the buckle and the side of the door body closest to the heating space is greater than or equal to 55mm.

[0012] Optionally, at least a portion of the handle has an L-shaped cross-section so that the handle forms the buckle groove.

[0013] Optionally, the front groove wall of the buckle is parallel to the front surface of the handle.

[0014] Optionally, the angle between the front surface of the handle and the front surface of the door is selected from any value between 10° and 60°.

[0015] Optionally, the angle between the front surface of the handle and the front surface of the door is selected from any value between 15° and 40°.

[0016] Optionally, an arc surface is provided between the front surface of the handle and the lower surface of the handle.

[0017] Optionally, the radius of the arc surface is selected from any value between 10 mm and 50 mm.

[0018] Optionally, the handle is located at the center of the door in the horizontal direction.

[0019] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of this utility model, by tilting the front surface of the handle with the control panel forward toward the opening away from the slot, there is a certain space between the user's palm and the control panel on the front surface of the handle when the user's fingers are inserted into the slot, thereby preventing the user from accidentally touching the control panel on the handle and ensuring the cooking effect of the food.

[0020] Furthermore, by setting the minimum distance between the front groove wall of the buckle and the side of the door body closest to the heating space to be greater than or equal to 55mm, the distance between the control panel and the heating space is increased, thus avoiding the influence of high-temperature air on the control panel, ensuring the normal operation of its various functions, and improving the stability and reliability of the cooking equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, by setting at least a portion of the cross-section of the handle to be L-shaped so that the handle forms the buckle groove, the user's fingers can fit better when inserted, the grip is more stable, and it is also easier to manufacture and reduces production costs.

[0022] Furthermore, by making the front groove wall of the buckle parallel to the front surface of the handle, it is easier to ensure dimensional accuracy during the manufacturing process of the handle. This also allows for more even stress distribution between the buckle groove and the front surface, reducing the likelihood of damage to the handle due to uneven structural stress during long-term use and extending its service life.

[0023] Furthermore, by setting the angle between the front surface of the handle and the front surface of the door to any value between 15° and 40°, it is possible to ensure that there is enough space between the hand and the control panel to avoid accidental touch, while also ensuring that the orientation of the control panel is within the optimal range for the user's vision and operation, thus balancing the prevention of accidental touch and the ease of operation.

[0024] Furthermore, by providing a rounded surface between the front and lower surfaces of the handle, the sharp edges between them can be eliminated, preventing users from being scratched by the sharp edges during use and improving safety. At the same time, the rounded transition makes the handle appear more rounded and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the overall quality of the cooking equipment.

[0025] Furthermore, by placing the handle in the middle of the door's horizontal direction, the force on the door is evenly distributed during opening and closing, avoiding problems such as door tilting and wear caused by force applied to one side, thus extending the service life of the door and pivot structure. At the same time, the central position also conforms to the operating habits of most users, eliminating the need for users to deliberately search for the handle and improving ease of operation.

For example, unless otherwise specified, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" can specifically refer to any feasible connection form such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, insertion, riveting, fusion welding, or snap-fit.

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cooking device 001 includes a housing 100, a door 200, and a handle 300.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the door 200 is pivotally connected to the housing 100, and the housing 100 defines a heating space 110 inside. The door 200 rotates forward relative to the housing 100 to open and close the heating space 110.

[0043] The handle 300 is located on the side of the door 200 away from the box 100. The side of the handle 300 facing the door 200 has a latch groove 310. The front surface 320 of the handle 300 is tilted forward in the direction away from the opening of the latch groove 310, and the front surface 320 has a control panel 330.

[0044] For the existing cooking equipment 001, the front surface 320 of the handle 300 is generally parallel to the front surface 210 of the door 200, that is, the front surface 320 of the handle 300 is a vertical plane. At the same time, if the control panel 330 is set on the front surface 320 of the handle 300, when the user pulls the handle 300, his hand will naturally be in contact with the control panel 330 on the front surface 320 of the handle 300, which may easily lead to accidental contact with the control panel 330.

[0045] In this regard, the present invention tilts the front surface 320 of the handle 300 forward toward the opening away from the buckle groove 310, so that when the user pulls the handle 300, there is space between the user's hand and the handle 300, thus preventing the user's hand from accidentally touching the control panel 330.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the door 200 is pivotally connected to the lower side of the housing 100, the handle 300 is located at the top of the door 200, and the opening of the latch 310 faces upward or to the side. That is, the door 200 can rotate downward and forward towards the cooking appliance 001 to open and close the heating space 110. The door 200 is opened as a pull-down door. The handle 300 is located at the top of the door 200, and the opening of the latch 310 faces upward. This conforms to ergonomic principles, making it convenient for users to open the door 200. Alternatively, the opening of the latch 310 can also face downward.

[0047] Meanwhile, this utility model can pivotally connect the door body 200 to the lower side of the box body 100, with the handle 300 set on the top of the door body 200, the opening of the latch groove 310 facing upward, and the front surface 320 of the handle 300 tilted forward away from the opening of the latch groove 310.

[0048] In other words, the front surface 320 of the handle 300 will face the front and upper part of the cooking device 001. At this time, the control panel 330 is set on the front surface 320 of the handle 300, and the control panel 330 will face the front and upper part of the cooking device 001. This way, the user can directly see the control panel 330, which not only makes it convenient for the user to see the contents on the control panel 330, but also makes it convenient for the user to operate the control panel 330. The user does not need to bend over, which improves the user's comfort.

[0049] Currently, in existing pull-down door cooking appliances 001, the control panel 330 is generally located at the bottom or on both sides of the door 200. This is because when the door 200 is opened, the top of the door 200 opens first. At the moment the door 200 opens, heat from the heating space 110 rushes out from the top of the door 200, causing a significant temperature rise. If the control panel 330 were located at the top of the door 200, the high-temperature air could damage it.

[0050] Based on this, the present invention combines the handle 300 with the control panel 330, placing the handle 300 at the top of the door 200. The handle 300 has a certain thickness in the front-rear direction of the cooking device 001, which allows the control panel to be kept away from the heating space 110, effectively reducing the temperature rise of the control panel, extending the service life of the control panel 330, and reducing malfunctions of the control panel 330 caused by high temperatures. For pull-down door cooking devices 001, placing the control panel at the top of the door 200 facilitates user operation of the control panel 330.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the minimum distance between the front groove wall 311 of the latch 310 and the side of the door 200 near the heating space 110 is greater than or equal to 55mm. Through extensive experimentation, the inventors discovered that when the above-mentioned dimensional values ​​are maintained, the heat from the heating space 110 will not affect the control panel 330 mounted on the handle 300. Even if the temperature inside the heating space 110 is high, the control panel 330 can still be kept within a suitable operating temperature range, ensuring the normal operation of its various functions and improving the stability and reliability of the cooking equipment 001.

[0052] Continue reading Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, at least a portion of the cross-section of the handle 300 is L-shaped, so that the handle 300 forms a groove 310. The groove 310 of this structure has a regular shape, which provides a better fit when the user's fingers are inserted, making the grip more stable. It also facilitates manufacturing and reduces production costs.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the front groove wall 311 of the buckle groove 310 is parallel to the front surface 320 of the handle 300. This parallel design makes the overall structure of the handle 300 more coordinated and regular, and makes it easier to ensure dimensional accuracy during manufacturing. Moreover, this parallel relationship allows for more even stress distribution between the buckle groove 310 and the front surface 320, reducing the possibility of damage to the handle 300 due to uneven structural stress during long-term use, and extending the service life of the handle 300.

[0054] Continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the angle between the front surface 320 of the handle 300 and the front surface 210 of the door 200 can be selected from any value between 10° and 60°. For example, the angle between the front surface 320 of the handle 300 and the front surface 210 of the door 200 can be any feasible value such as 10°, 20°, 30°, 50° and 60°.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the angle between the front surface 320 of the handle 300 and the front surface 210 of the door 200 is selected from any value between 15° and 40°. For example, the angle between the front surface 320 of the handle 300 and the front surface 210 of the door 200 can be any feasible value such as 15°, 18°, 25°, 35° and 38°.

[0056] The 10° to 60° angle range provides flexibility for different usage scenarios and user needs. The 15° to 40° angle range is an optimized range that ensures sufficient space between the hand and the control panel 330 to prevent accidental touches, while also placing the control panel 330 within the optimal range for user vision and operation, thus balancing accidental touch prevention and ease of use. For example, an angle of around 25° performs particularly well in actual use, avoiding both insufficient accidental touch prevention due to an excessively small angle and negatively impacting the overall aesthetics and grip of the handle 300 due to an excessively large angle.

[0057] Continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, an arc surface 350 is provided between the front surface 320 and the lower surface 340 of the handle 300. The arc surface 350 eliminates the sharp edges between the front surface 320 and the lower surface 340, preventing users from being scratched by sharp edges during use and improving safety. At the same time, the arc transition makes the handle 300 more rounded and beautiful, enhancing the overall texture of the cooking device 001.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the radius of the arc surface 350 can be selected from any value between 10mm and 50mm. For example, the radius of the arc surface 350 can be any feasible value such as 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, and 50mm.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the radius of the arc surface 350 can be selected from any value between 25mm and 45mm. For example, the radius of the arc surface 350 can be any feasible value such as 25mm, 28mm, 35mm, 38mm, and 42mm.

[0060] Among them, a radius of 25mm to 45mm can achieve a better balance between safety and aesthetics, and is more comfortable to touch.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the handle 300 is located in the middle of the door body 200 in the horizontal direction. This central position ensures that when the user opens the door, the point of force is at the center of the door body 200, resulting in even force distribution during opening and closing. This avoids problems such as door body 200 tilting or wear caused by force biased to one side, extending the service life of the door body 200 and the pivot structure. Simultaneously, the central position also conforms to the operating habits of most users, eliminating the need for them to deliberately search for the handle 300, thus improving operational convenience.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cooking device 001 can be an induction cooker, an oven, or other similar equipment. This utility model has broad applicability; whether it's an induction cooker for heating food or an oven for baking or roasting, this design can be adopted to solve common problems in the design of the handle 300 and control panel 330, providing an effective way to improve the user experience for different types of cooking devices 001.

[0063] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features.
