[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a square self-service oven, including a water tray 1 and a food tray 3 disposed in the water tray 1. Multiple fixed support plates 7 are evenly distributed on the side surface of the water tray 1. Folding support rods 8 are rotatably connected to the same end of the multiple fixed support plates 7. Two folding support rods 8 located at opposite positions on both sides of the water tray 1 are connected by the same connecting support plate 9. A support plate 11 is disposed below the water tray 1. The bottom surface of the support plate 11 has a slot 10 that matches the width of the connecting support plate 9. The support plate 11 is engaged with the surfaces of the two connecting support plates 9 through the slot 10.

[0027] The water tray 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component, providing space for the food tray 3 and holding water for uniform heat transfer. The food tray 3 is placed inside the water tray 1, facilitating heat absorption and insulation. The folding support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the fixed support plate 7, enabling the stove to fold when not in use, significantly saving storage and transportation space. The slot 10 at the bottom of the support plate 11 is adapted to the shape of the two connecting support plates 9. When the folding support rod 8 is rotated to the unfolded state, the two connecting support plates 9 are parallel and horizontal. At this time, the slot 10 of the support plate 11 is aligned and inserted into the surface of the two connecting support plates 9. The inner walls on both sides of the slot 10 will fit tightly against the sides of the connecting support plates 9, forming a lateral limit, restricting the folding support rod 8 from folding back in the direction of rotation. This ensures that the folding support rod 8 maintains a stable support state when bearing the weight of the water tray 1, food tray 3, and food, preventing angular displacement due to force, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability and safety of the stove.

[0028] Furthermore, the surface of the support plate 11 is provided with a wax pot 13 for heating the water pan 1, and the surface of the support plate 11 is provided with a placement groove 12 that is adapted to the size of the wax pot 13. The wax pot 13 is snapped onto the surface of the support plate 11 through the placement groove 12.

[0029] The wax pot 13 on the surface of the support plate 11 serves as a heating source, releasing heat through combustion to provide a continuous and stable heat source for the water tray 1, thereby keeping the food warm. A placement groove 12 adapted to the wax pot 13 is opened on the surface of the support plate 11. The wax pot 13 is snapped onto the surface of the support plate 11 through the placement groove 12, which can effectively fix the position of the wax pot 13 and prevent it from shifting due to collision or shaking during use, ensuring stable heating position and improving heating efficiency and safety.

[0030] Furthermore, the surface of the food tray 3 is covered with a stove cover 5, and the surfaces of the water tray 1, the food tray 3 and the stove cover 5 are respectively fixed with handle 1 2, handle 2 4 and handle 3 6.

[0031] The stove cover 5 covering the food tray 3 reduces heat loss from the food tray 3, enhances heat preservation, and prevents dust and impurities from falling into the food, ensuring food hygiene. The handle 1 2 on the water tray 1, the handle 2 4 on the food tray 3, and the handle 3 6 on the stove cover 5 provide convenient points of force for lifting the water tray 1, taking out and putting in food, and opening and closing the stove cover, making it convenient for users to operate.

[0032] Furthermore, the stove cover 5 is made of transparent acrylic sheet.

[0033] The stove lid 5 is made of transparent acrylic sheet, which has good heat insulation, reduces heat loss, and allows users to directly observe the type, quantity, and condition of food in the food tray 3 from the outside without opening the stove lid. This reduces heat loss caused by frequent opening of the lid and improves food retrieval efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the surface of the fixed support plate 7 is provided with a sliding groove 17, and a reinforcing sliding rod 18 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 17. The surface of the folding support rod 8 is provided with a connecting groove 22 that is compatible with the reinforcing sliding rod 18.

[0035] The groove 17 on the surface of the fixed support plate 7 provides a sliding track for the reinforcing slide rod 18, allowing the reinforcing slide rod 18 to move flexibly along the groove 17. When the folding support rod 8 is unfolded, the reinforcing slide rod 18 can slide into the connecting groove 22 on the surface of the folding support rod 8, forming a longitudinal lock on the folding support rod 8, preventing the folding support rod 8 from rotating when under load, and further enhancing the stability of the folding support rod 8 after unfolding.

[0036] Furthermore, a spring 19 is installed in the blind hole opened on the surface of the reinforcing slide rod 18. One end of the spring 19 abuts against one end of the ball head limiting rod 20 which is slidably connected in the blind hole opened on the surface of the reinforcing slide rod 18. The ball head end of the ball head limiting rod 20 extends out of the reinforcing slide rod 18. Two positioning holes 21 adapted to the ball head limiting rod 20 are opened on the surface of the fixed support plate 7.

[0037] The spring 19 inside the blind hole of the reinforcing slide rod 18 provides elastic thrust to the ball head limiting rod 20, so that the ball head end of the ball head limiting rod 20 can be tightly engaged in the positioning hole 21 of the fixed support plate 7. The two positioning holes 21 on the surface of the fixed support plate 7 correspond to the locking and unlocking positions of the reinforcing slide rod 18, respectively. When the ball head limiting rod 20 is engaged in one of the positioning holes 21, the reinforcing slide rod 18 is in a locked state and cooperates with the connecting groove 22 to fix the folding support rod 8. When folding is required, push the reinforcing slide rod 18 to make the ball head limiting rod 20 engage in the other positioning hole 21, thereby unlocking the reinforcing slide rod 18. The operation is convenient and the positioning is reliable.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom end of the folding support rod 8 is threadedly connected to a leveling screw 14, one end of which is fixed with a connecting ball head 15, and an anti-slip support block 16 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting ball head 15.

[0039] The leveling screw 14, which is threaded at the bottom of the folding support rod 8, can be rotated to adjust its length, making it easy to adjust the level of the stove on uneven surfaces. This ensures that the water in the water tray 1 and the food in the food tray 3 will not overflow due to tilting. The ball head 15 at one end of the leveling screw 14 is rotatably connected to the anti-slip support block 16, allowing the anti-slip support block 16 to adapt to different tilt angles of the surface and always maintain good contact with the surface. The anti-slip support block 16 can increase the friction with the surface, preventing the stove from sliding during use and improving safety and stability.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the water tray 1 serves as the core load-bearing component, and multiple fixed support plates 7 evenly distributed on its side surface provide rotational connection points for the folding support rod 8. When it needs to be unfolded for use, the folding support rod 8 is rotated from the folded state to the vertical support position. The folding support rods 8 located at opposite positions on both sides of the water tray 1 are connected by connecting support plates 9 to form an overall support frame. The support plate 11 is snapped onto the surface of the connecting support plate 9 through the bottom slot 10 to form the lower load-bearing structure. At the same time, the reinforcing slide rod 18 in the slide groove 17 of the fixed support plate 7 can be slid into the connecting groove 22 of the folding support rod 8, thus reinforcing it. The spring 19 inside the slide rod 18 pushes the ball head limiting rod 20 into the positioning hole 21 of the fixed support plate 7, thus achieving a stable lock on the folding support rod 8. If it needs to be stored, simply reverse the operation to disengage the reinforcing slide rod 18 from the connecting groove 22, and the folding support rod 8 can be rotated and folded, greatly reducing the overall volume. In addition, the leveling screw 14 at the bottom of the folding support rod 8 can be rotated to adjust the length. Together with the anti-slip support block 16 connected to the ball head 15, it can adapt to different flatness of the placement surface, ensuring the stability of the stove. The anti-slip support block 16 also enhances the friction with the placement surface, preventing slippage during use.

[0041] The slot 10 at the bottom of the support plate 11 is adapted to the shape of the two connecting support plates 9. When the folding support rod 8 is rotated to the unfolded state, the two connecting support plates 9 are parallel and horizontal. At this time, the slot 10 of the support plate 11 is aligned and inserted into the surface of the two connecting support plates 9. The inner walls on both sides of the slot 10 will fit tightly with the sides of the connecting support plates 9, forming a lateral limit, which restricts the tendency of the folding support rod 8 to fold back along the rotation direction. Together with the longitudinal locking of the reinforcing slide rod 18 and the connecting groove 22, they form a double positioning mechanism to ensure that the folding support rod 8 maintains a stable support state when bearing the weight of the water tray 1, food tray 3 and food, and avoids angular displacement due to force, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the stove and the safety of use.

[0042] In terms of heat preservation and functionality, the placement groove 12 on the surface of the support plate 11 is used to fix the wax pot 13. The heat generated by the burning of the wax pot 13 is transferred upward to the water tray 1. The water tray 1 can hold an appropriate amount of water, which evenly heats the food tray 3 above through heat conduction, thus achieving stable heat preservation of the food in the food tray 3. The oven lid 5 above the food tray 3 is made of transparent acrylic sheet, which can reduce heat loss and make it easy to observe the food status. The handle 1 2 on the water tray 1, the handle 2 4 on the food tray 3, and the handle 3 6 on the oven lid 5 respectively facilitate the user to lift the water tray 1, take out and put in food, and open and close the oven lid, improving the ease of operation.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
