[0002] With the development of smart technology, home appliances are becoming increasingly intelligent. For example, many appliances such as microwave ovens, ovens, and steam ovens are equipped with cameras to identify the type and quantity of food. The control module then uses the received image information, pre-stored functions and parameters, and user habits to automatically cook the food. However, in existing technologies, when the camera is mounted on the cooking device to image the food, it is placed directly within a large installation space. This prevents effective airflow to the camera, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to disclose a cooking device to solve the problem of blind spots in existing cameras.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a cooking apparatus, comprising: The outer casing is equipped with a receiving cavity, an air inlet, and an air outlet; The inner liner is located within the receiving cavity and is provided with a cooking cavity; The imaging module is located within the receiving cavity and above the inner liner. It includes an air guide frame, an imaging device, and a cooling fan. The air guide frame and the top wall of the outer shell form an air guide cavity, which connects the air inlet and outlet. The air guide frame has an air guide channel, both ends of which are connected to the air guide cavity. The imaging device is located at one end of the air guide channel and is used to image the food inside the cooking cavity. The cooling fan is installed on the air guide frame and / or the outer shell and drives airflow from the air inlet into the air guide cavity, forming two airflow paths. One path flows sequentially through the air guide cavity and out of the air outlet, while the other path flows through the air guide cavity into the air guide channel, then back into the air guide cavity and out of the air outlet, thereby achieving heat dissipation for the imaging device.

[0005] As an optional implementation, the air guide frame includes an upper body and a lower air guide body. The upper body and the top wall of the outer shell form an air guide cavity.

[0006] As an optional implementation, the upper body is provided with a first connection port and a second connection port along the airflow direction, the two ends of the air guide channel are respectively connected to the first connection port and the second connection port, and the imaging device is provided corresponding to the second connection port; The lower air guide has an upper opening facing the upper main body; Alternatively, the lower air guide body may be a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends.

[0007] As an optional implementation, the upper body includes a first mounting portion and at least one second mounting portion disposed at one end of the first mounting portion along a first direction. The width of the second mounting portion along the first direction is smaller than the width of the first mounting portion along the first direction. The second mounting portion is used to mount the cooling fan.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the upper body is provided with a steam port, which is connected to the cooking cavity and the air guide cavity respectively.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the air guide frame is provided with a limiting structure, which is separated from the mounting column and is used to limit the installation of the cooling fan.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the cooking device of this utility model are as follows: This invention relates to a cooking device that, when imaging food within the cooking cavity, positions the imaging module above the inner pot. This allows the device to image food located below it, providing a wider imaging range and avoiding blind spots that could affect the food's texture and flavor.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a cooking device 100, including a shell 10, an inner pot 20, and an imaging module 30.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The outer shell 10 has a receiving cavity 11, an air inlet 12, and an air outlet 13; the inner liner 20 is located inside the receiving cavity 11 and has a cooking cavity 21; the imaging module 30 is located inside the receiving cavity 11 and above the inner liner 20, and is used to image the food in the cooking cavity 21. It includes an air guide frame 31, an imaging device 32, and a cooling fan 33. The air guide frame 31 and the top wall of the outer shell 10 form an air guide cavity 315, which connects the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13. The air guide frame 31 has an air guide channel 3121. Both ends of the air guide channel 3121 are connected to the air guide cavity 315. The imaging device 32 is located at one end of the air guide channel 3121. The cooling fan 33 is installed on the air guide frame 31 and / or the outer shell 10 to drive the airflow from the air inlet 12 into the air guide cavity 315, forming two airflows. One airflow flows through the air guide cavity 315 and out through the air outlet 13 in sequence, and the other airflow flows through the air guide cavity 315 into the air guide channel 3121, then flows back into the air guide cavity 315 and out through the air outlet 13, thereby achieving heat dissipation for the imaging device 32.

[0026] The aforementioned cooking device 100, when imaging food within the cooking cavity 21, can image food located below it by placing the imaging module 30 above the inner pot 20. This provides a wider imaging range 200, avoiding blind spots that could affect the taste and texture of the food. Simultaneously, a cooling fan 33 is provided at the air inlet 12, driving airflow into the device. A portion of the airflow flows towards the air guide channel 3121 to dissipate heat from the imaging module 30. The heat-exchanged airflow exits through the air outlet 13, while another portion flows over the upper surface of the air guide frame 31 and then upwards towards the imaging device 32, further cooling the imaging module 30. Thus, the two airflow paths effectively dissipate heat from the imaging module 30, ensuring a long service life.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cooking device 100 can be configured as a microwave oven, oven, or steam oven, etc.

[0028] Understandably, when the imaging device 32 of this embodiment is installed in the receiving cavity 11, the cooling fan 33 is positioned corresponding to the air inlet 12, thereby driving the airflow into the air guide cavity 315. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the airflow flows into the air guide cavity 315 as much as possible, the upper end of the cooling fan 33 can be configured to abut against the top wall of the housing 10, or the top wall of the housing 10 can extend a mounting ear, which is connected to the cooling fan 33, and the bottom end of the cooling fan 33 is connected to the air guide frame 31, so that the two ends of the cooling fan 33 cooperate with the top wall of the housing 10 and the air guide frame (31) respectively, so as to realize the airflow into the air guide cavity 315 as much as possible.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cooling fan 33 is arranged vertically.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to avoid excessive dispersion of airflow, baffles can be installed on both sides of the air guide frame 31. The baffles extend in the direction of airflow and surround the two sides of the cooling fan 33, thereby achieving the effect of guiding the airflow.

[0031] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4 to 7In this embodiment, when the air guide channel 3121 is set, the air guide frame 31 includes an upper body 311 and a lower air guide body 312. For example, the two can be formed independently. The upper body 311 and the top wall of the outer shell 10 form an air guide cavity 315. The lower air guide body 312 is located at the bottom of the upper body 311 and is provided with the air guide channel 3121. The imaging device 32 is installed on the upper body 311 and / or the lower air guide body 312. In this way, by setting the air guide frame 31 to include two parts, it is convenient to form various irregular structures on the entire air guide frame 31. In another embodiment, part of the upper body 311 can be bent towards the inner liner 20 to form the lower air guide body 312. At the same time, when bending downward, the air guide channel 3121 is also formed. In this case, the entire air guide frame is a whole. In this way, the airflow flowing into the air inlet 12 can also flow towards the imaging device 32.

[0032] Understandably, when the air guide frame 31 is configured to include two parts, it is necessary to achieve communication between the lower air guide body 312 and the upper body 311. At this time, the upper body 311 is provided with a first connection port 3111 and a second connection port 3112. The first connection port 3111 and the second connection port 3112 are arranged sequentially along the airflow direction. The lower air guide body 312 is located at the bottom of the upper body 311. The two ends of the air guide channel 3121 are respectively connected to the first connection port 3111 and the second connection port 3112. The imaging device 32 is arranged corresponding to the second connection port 3112 so that when the airflow flows from the first connection port 3111 to the second connection port 3112, heat dissipation of the imaging device 32 can be achieved.

[0033] Understandably, the upper body 311 and the lower air guide 312 are formed separately at this time, and then the two are installed to form the entire air guide frame 31. For example, the two can be assembled by bolt connection or welding.

[0034] Please see Figure 6 When the air guide frame 31 includes a separately formed lower air guide body 312, in one embodiment, the lower air guide body 312 can be configured as an air guide structure with an upper opening 3124 facing the upper body 311, that is, including a bottom support wall 3122 and side support walls 3123 on both sides of the bottom support wall 3122. The side support walls 3123 extend along the flow direction of the airflow, and the two side support walls 3123 support the bottom of the upper body 311, so that they can together define the air guide channel 3121 with the upper body 311. In this way, by configuring the lower air guide body 312 with an upper opening 3124, it is easier to form the lower air guide body 312, saves the material of the lower air guide body 312, and can have higher forming efficiency.

[0035] Or in another embodiment, see Figure 7The lower air guide body 312 can be configured as a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. The cylindrical structure forms an air guide channel 3121, and the first end of the cylindrical structure is connected to the first connecting port 3111. The imaging device 32 is installed at the second end of the cylindrical structure. In this way, when the cooling fan 33 drives the airflow, the airflow can flow into the air guide channel 3121 through the first connecting port 3111, flow through the imaging device 32, and then flow out through the second connecting port 3112.

[0036] Please see Figures 3 to 5 This is a schematic diagram of the upper body 311 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The upper body 311 includes a first mounting part 3113 and at least one second mounting part 3114 disposed at one end of the first mounting part 3113 along a first direction a. The width of the second mounting part 3114 along the first direction a is smaller than the width of the first mounting part 3113 along the first direction a. The second mounting part 3114 is used to mount the cooling fan 33. In this way, the upper body 311 is configured to include two parts, which can be adapted to the setting of other components on the top of the inner liner 20. For example, when the cooking device 100 is a microwave oven, since the microwave oven has a magnetron that generates microwaves, the microwaves need to be introduced into the cooking chamber 21 through a waveguide. Therefore, the microwave inlet can be set in the center of the cooking chamber 21. Therefore, the first mounting part 3113 The first and second mounting portions 3114 can be respectively arranged around the microwave inlet to make full use of the outer mounting space. For example, the first mounting portion 3113 and the second mounting portion 3114 can be arranged perpendicular to each other to achieve compact use of space. At the same time, the cooling fan 33 is set at one end of the narrower second mounting portion 3114, which can achieve the effect of air guiding through the narrower second mounting portion 3114 and avoid the dispersion of airflow as much as possible. Furthermore, since the first mounting portion 3113 has a wider width, a second mounting portion 3114 can be set at both ends of the extension direction of the first mounting portion 3113. Each second mounting portion 3114 can be equipped with a corresponding cooling fan 33, so that the airflow is driven inward by the two cooling fans 33 to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, during installation, the first mounting portion 3113 is located on the side facing the user, and the second mounting portion 3114 is located on the left and / or right side, thereby giving the first mounting portion 3113 a wider width. The first mounting portion 3113 has a second connecting port 3112, and the second mounting portion 3114 has a first connecting port 3111.

[0038] Furthermore, since steam is generated during the cooking process, the air guide frame 31 is also provided with a steam port 316 to facilitate steam discharge. The steam port 316 is connected to the air guide cavity 315 and the air outlet 13. Specifically, the first mounting part 3113 is provided with a steam port 316. Thus, during the baking process, steam is discharged from the steam port 316 into the air guide cavity 315 and can be dispersed to the air outlet 13 with the airflow. Therefore, the upper body 311 of this embodiment not only realizes the function of guiding the airflow of the cooling fan 33, but also the airflow can carry the steam out of the air guide cavity 315, which has a dual effect. Specifically, the steam port 316 of this embodiment is located near the first connecting port 3111.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Since the steam port 316 and the second connecting port 3112 are separately arranged in the first mounting part 3113, in order to realize the airflow in the direction of the steam port 316 and the second connecting port 3112 respectively, the air guide frame 31 also includes an air guide rib 313. The air guide rib 313 is arranged in the second mounting part 3114 and extends in the direction of the first mounting part 3113. It is used to realize that the airflow flowing in from the air inlet 12 flows to the imaging device 32 and the steam port 316 respectively. In this way, by setting the air guide rib 313, the airflow can be dispersed so that the airflow can be divided into two parts. One part flows to the second connecting port 3112 where the imaging device 32 is installed, and the other part flows to the steam port 316, so that the heat-exchanged airflow and steam can be carried out from the air outlet 13 respectively.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to achieve a similar airflow rate between the imaging device 32 side and the steam outlet 316 side, the air guide rib 313 is inclined from the second mounting part 3114 toward the imaging device 32. The inclined air guide rib 313 not only guides the airflow but also divides the airflow, so that the amount of airflow to the steam outlet 316 and the imaging device 32 side is similar or proportionally distributed, avoiding chaotic airflow that would prevent heat dissipation and steam exhaust.

[0041] Specifically, the air guide rib 313 in this embodiment includes a first section 3131 and a second section 3132. The first section 3131 is inclined from the second mounting part 3114 toward the imaging device 32. The second section 3132 is blocked between the imaging device 32 and the steam port 316. That is, the first section 3131 is used to achieve the function of diverting and guiding airflow. The second section 3132 is used to block the flow of steam between the imaging device 32 and the steam port 316, thus preventing steam from flowing toward the imaging device 32 and affecting the service life of the imaging device 32.

[0042] Furthermore, the first segment 3131 extends to the cooling fan 33 located near the end of the second mounting part 3114, thereby achieving the function of airflow distribution; the second segment 3132 extends to the edge of the first mounting part 3113 to block the flow of steam towards the imaging device 32 as much as possible. At the same time, it extends to the edge of the first mounting part 3113 and connects with the edge of the first mounting part 3113, and also has a guiding function, directly leading the steam and airflow out of the air outlet 13.

[0043] Since the first segment 3131 is inclined from the second mounting part 3114 toward the first mounting part 3113, it is equivalent to roughly dividing the second mounting part 3114 into two triangles. In order to ensure the opening area of ​​the first connecting port 3111, the steam port 316 and the first connecting port 3111 are located on the same side of the first segment 3131, thereby ensuring that the first connecting port 3111 can have a large opening area and can ensure the air intake volume flowing into the air guide channel 3121. At the same time, since the second mounting part 3114 is located to the side of the microwave inlet located in the center, by setting the first connecting port 3111 and the steam port 316 on one side of the first segment 3131, the first connecting port 3111 can avoid the microwave inlet.

[0044] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, when installing the cooling fan 33, the air guide frame 31 is provided with a mounting post 317 on one side of the air inlet 12. The mounting post 317 is provided with a first mounting hole 318, and the cooling fan 33 is provided with a second mounting hole 331. The first mounting hole 318 and the second mounting hole 331 are connected by bolts. In this way, by providing mounting holes respectively, the cooling fan 33 is installed at the end of the air guide frame 31, specifically at the end of the second mounting part 3114. In other embodiments, the air guide frame 31 and the cooling fan 33 can be connected by plugging or snapping to achieve detachable installation of the cooling fan 33, thereby facilitating disassembly and maintenance in case of subsequent failure of the cooling fan 33.

[0045] To facilitate the installation of the cooling fan 33, the air guide frame 31 is provided with a limiting structure 319. The limiting structure 319 and the mounting post 317 are separated and used to limit the installation of the cooling fan 33. That is, the installation position of the cooling fan 33 is limited by the cooperation of the limiting structure 319 and the mounting post 317, which facilitates the subsequent locking of the bolts.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting structure 319 consists of two limiting blocks separated along the first direction a.

[0047] In this embodiment, when steam and airflow are discharged, the air guide frame 31 is provided with a corresponding interface 314 to the air outlet 13, so that the air guide frame 31 has a certain support height and can support the outer shell 10. Steam and airflow are discharged sequentially through the interface 314 and the air outlet 13.

[0048] Understandably, an air intake fan 40 can be installed at the first connection port 3111. The air intake fan 40 can quickly drive the airflow to flow in the direction of the downward air guide body 312, thereby achieving better heat dissipation for the imaging device 32.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, when the imaging device 32 is set off from the center of the inner liner 20, even with the microwave inlet, in order to ensure the imaging range 200 and avoid blind spots, the imaging surface 324 of the imaging device 32 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane. That is, the camera 322 is not set vertically downward, but tilted towards the food, thereby having a wider imaging range 200.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 8 The imaging device 32 includes a mounting plate 321, a camera 322 disposed on one side of the mounting plate 321, and heat dissipation fins 323 disposed on the other side of the mounting plate 321. In this embodiment, the imaging surface 324 of the imaging device 32 refers to the shooting surface of the camera 322, which is set at an angle to the horizontal plane. In one embodiment, multiple heat dissipation fins 323 can be provided, and the gaps between the heat dissipation fins 323 can be oriented towards the direction of airflow, so that the airflow can carry away heat when it flows through the gaps between the heat dissipation fins 323. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 323 can be set perpendicular to the direction of airflow, which can also achieve the heat dissipation effect on the camera 322.

[0051] Specifically, when the imaging device 32 is tilted, the angle θ between the imaging surface 324 of the imaging device 32 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 15-25°. Specifically, the surface of the camera 322 has an angle of 15-25° with the horizontal plane so that the camera 322 is oriented toward the food to ensure an imaging range of 200°.

[0052] In some embodiments, depending on the amount of food being photographed, the angle between the camera 322 and the horizontal plane can be set to 15°, 18°, 21°, 23° or 25°, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0053] The cooking device 100 described above, by setting the air guide frame 31 to include an upper body 311 and a lower air guide body 312, facilitates the individual forming of the upper body 311 and the lower air guide body 312; by setting the air guide ribs 313 on the upper body 311, not only can the airflow be directed to the imaging device 32 side and the steam port 316 side respectively, but the imaging device 32 and the steam port 316 can also be separated to prevent the steam from flowing to the imaging device 32 side and causing damage to the imaging device 32.

[0054] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
