[0047] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0048] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the cooking appliance of this utility model embodiment includes a shell 1, a water tank 2, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 3. The shell 1 has a cavity 11. The water tank 2 is disposed on the shell 1 and communicates with the cavity 11. The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 includes a first snap-fit ​​part 31 and a second snap-fit ​​part 32. One of the first snap-fit ​​part 31 and the second snap-fit ​​part 32 is disposed on the shell 1, and the other of the first snap-fit ​​part 31 and the second snap-fit ​​part 32 is disposed on the water tank 2. The first snap-fit ​​part 31 and the second snap-fit ​​part 32 are snap-fitted together to connect the water tank 2 and the shell 1. The first snap-fit ​​part 31 can extend into the second snap-fit ​​part 32 in a first direction and can slide in the second snap-fit ​​part 32 in a second direction to install the water tank 2 on the shell 1. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction.

[0049] In this embodiment of the cooking appliance, when the first locking part 31 and the second locking part 32 are engaged, the first part extends into the second locking part 32 along the first direction and slides into the second locking part 32 along the second direction to the engagement position. This reduces the risk of damage to the outer shell 1 and / or the water tank 2 during the engagement and manufacturing process, and improves the stability and engagement efficiency of the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1, thereby enhancing the user experience. Moreover, the engagement method is simple, easy to operate, and improves product quality and production efficiency.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second engaging portion 32 includes a first segment 321 and a second segment 322 arranged sequentially in a second direction. The first segment 321 extends along a third direction, which is orthogonal to the first and second directions. At least a portion of the second segment 322 extends along the second direction. The first engaging portion 31 can extend into the first segment 321 along the first direction, and the first engaging portion 31 can slide from the first segment 321 into the second segment 322 to engage with the second segment 322.

[0051] Specifically, the first segment 321 extends along a third direction, and the second segment 322 extends along a second direction, such that the size of the first segment 321 in the third direction is larger than the size of the second segment 322 in the third direction, thereby facilitating the insertion of the first snap-fit ​​part 31 into the first segment 321 to further reduce the risk of damage to the outer casing 1 and / or the water tank 2. Moreover, the fitting method is simple and easy to operate.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the second snap-fit ​​portion 32 includes a first through hole 323. The first through hole 323 includes a first segment 3231 and a second segment 3232 that are sequentially connected in a second direction. The size of the first segment 3231 in a third direction is larger than the size of the second segment 3232 in a third direction. The first through hole 323 has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction. The free end of the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 can pass through the first segment 3231 from the first side of the first through hole 323 and exit from the second side of the first through hole 323 and slide along the second direction to the second segment 3232. The first segment 3231 forms a first segment 321, and the second segment 3232 forms at least a portion of the second segment 322.

[0053] Specifically, by having the first snap-fit ​​part 31 pass through the through hole before snapping, the stability of the fit is improved and the difficulty of the fit is reduced.

[0054] Optionally, the second snap-fit ​​portion 32 further includes a protrusion 324, which is located on the second side of the first through hole 323 and on the outer periphery of the second hole segment 3232. The free end of the protrusion 324 abuts against the free end of the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 in the first direction, and the second hole segment 3232 and the protrusion 324 form the second segment 322.

[0055] Specifically, the second snap-fit ​​part 32 engages with the first snap-fit ​​part 31 through the first through hole 323 and the protrusion 324, which can further improve the stability of the engagement between the second snap-fit ​​part 32 and the first snap-fit ​​part 31, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first latching part 31 includes a latching post 311 and a latching protrusion 312. The latching protrusion 312 is located at the free end of the latching post 311 and extends in the third direction. The latching protrusion 312 abuts against the free end of the protrusion 324 in the first direction.

[0057] Specifically, the latching protrusion 312 extends along a third direction from the free end of the latching post 311. The dimension of the first hole segment 3231 in the third direction is larger than that of the second hole segment 3232 in the third direction, facilitating the free end of the first latching part 31 to extend into the first hole segment 3231. The second hole segment 3232 can limit the latching post 311, making it difficult for the latching post 311 to move along the third direction within the second hole segment 3232. The latching protrusion 312 is located at the free end of the latching post 311 and extends along a third direction. The end of the latching protrusion 312 away from the latching post 311 protrudes from the protrusion 324, and the latching protrusion 312 can abut against the bottom surface of the protrusion 324, so that the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1 fit together in the first direction, improving the installation stability of the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the hollow design of the card post 311 facilitates manufacturing, reduces the generation of air bubbles during manufacturing, and saves materials and costs.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple first latching parts 31, which are arranged at intervals along a third direction. There are multiple second latching parts 32, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple first latching parts 31.

[0060] Specifically, multiple first snap-fit ​​parts 31 are correspondingly provided with multiple second snap-fit ​​parts 32, which further improves the fit between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1 in the first direction, as well as the firmness of the connection between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the protrusions 312 of two adjacent first latching portions 31 extend toward each other, and the first segments 321 of two adjacent second latching portions 32 extend toward each other.

[0062] Specifically, the protrusions 312 of the two adjacent first snap-fit ​​parts 31 extend towards each other, which is easy to manufacture, and the mold structure used is simple and easy to demold.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 9 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a positioning member 4, which is located on the second side of the first through hole 323 and on the outer periphery of the second hole segment 3232. The positioning member 4 and the protrusion 324 are arranged opposite each other in a third direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The positioning member 4 has a positioning portion 41 extending toward the protrusion 324. The positioning portion 41 abuts against the free end of the first locking portion 31 in the second direction to restrict the first locking portion 31 from sliding from the second hole segment 3232 toward the first hole segment 3231.

[0064] Specifically, the positioning part 41 abuts against the locking post 311 of the first locking part 31 in the second direction to limit the locking post 311 in the second direction, so that the first locking part 31 is not easy to slide from the second hole section 3232 to the first hole section 3231, thus ensuring the stability of the first locking part 31 installed in the second hole section 3232.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the positioning element 4 has a through groove in the second direction, and the protrusion 324 has a through groove in the second direction, which makes the positioning element 4 and the protrusion 324 easy to manufacture, reduces the generation of air bubbles, and saves materials and costs.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 12, and the water tank 2 is located in the receiving cavity 12. The first direction is the up and down direction. The first through hole 323 is located on the bottom wall surface of the receiving cavity 12. The protrusion 324 is located on the bottom of the outer shell 1. The first snap-fit ​​part 31 is located on the bottom of the water tank 2. The lower end of the first snap-fit ​​part 31 abuts against the protrusion 324.

[0067] Specifically, by detachably placing the water tank 2 inside the housing cavity 12 of the outer shell 1, and placing the first snap-fit ​​part 31 at the bottom of the water tank 2, the firmness of the fit between the bottom of the water tank 2 and the bottom wall of the housing cavity 12 can be improved, ensuring the stability of the installation of the water tank 2 in the housing cavity 12, reducing the risk of damage to the outer shell 1 and / or the water tank 2, and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0068] When the water tank 2 is installed in the accommodating cavity 12, the water tank 2 is placed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 12 in the vertical direction. The lower end of the first snap-fit ​​part 31 extends into the first hole section 3231. The water tank 2 is pushed in the second direction, pushing the first snap-fit ​​part 31 from the first hole section 3231 to the second hole section 3232. The end of the snap-fit ​​post 311 away from the water tank 2 abuts against the positioning part 41. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 312 fits against the bottom surface of the protrusion 324, so that the bottom of the water tank 2 fits firmly against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 12.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a third snap-fit ​​part 51 and a fourth snap-fit ​​part 52. The third snap-fit ​​part 51 is located at the top of the side of the water tank 2, and the fourth snap-fit ​​part 52 is located on the outer shell 1. The third snap-fit ​​part 51 and the fourth snap-fit ​​part 52 are snapped together.

[0070] Specifically, the third snap-fit ​​part 51 and the fourth snap-fit ​​part 52 engage to connect the side of the water tank 2 to the outer shell 1, thereby improving the connection between the side of the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1, reducing the risk of damage to the outer shell 1 and / or the water tank 2, and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fourth snap-fit ​​portion 52 includes a second through hole 521 and an abutment member 522. The second through hole 521 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 12, and the abutment member 522 is provided on the top of the outer shell 1. The free end of the third snap-fit ​​portion 51 can pass through the second through hole 521 and abut against the abutment member 522 in the second direction.

[0072] Specifically, by adopting the form of a second through hole 521 and an abutment 522 for the fourth snap-fit ​​part 52, the abutment 522 can limit the water tank 2 in the second direction, making it difficult for the water tank 2 to move in the second direction, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the side of the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1. Moreover, by passing through the through hole, it is convenient to improve the stability of the cooperation between the fourth snap-fit ​​part 52 and the third snap-fit ​​part 51, thereby improving the overall integrity of the connection between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple third latching parts 51, which are arranged at intervals along a third direction, and the third direction is orthogonal to the vertical direction and the second direction. There are multiple fourth latching parts 52, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple third latching parts 51.

[0074] Specifically, multiple third snap-fit ​​parts 51 and multiple fourth snap-fit ​​parts 52 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, which further improves the connection between the side of the water tank 2 and the side wall of the outer shell 1, and ensures the stability of the connection between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 3 -like Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a limiting member 6, which is located at the bottom of the outer shell 1. The limiting member 6 has a first limiting part 61, and the bottom of the water tank 2 is provided with a second limiting part 21. The first limiting part 61 passes through the outer shell 1 and abuts against the second limiting part 21 in a second direction.

[0076] Specifically, the first limiting part 61 and the second limiting part 21 abut against each other in the second direction to limit the water tank 2, further ensuring that the water tank 2 is not easily moved away from the outer shell 1, preventing the water tank 2 from being weakened in the locking force between the locking parts due to long-term placement in the receiving cavity 12, and ensuring the water tank 2 is stably installed in the receiving cavity 12. This improves the stability of the connection between the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 2 has a water outlet 22, the water outlet 22 has a water outlet channel 221, the water outlet 22 is sealed to the outer shell 1 and the water outlet channel 221 is connected to the cavity 11.

[0078] Specifically, the water outlet 22 is located at the lower end of the water tank 2 and extends along the second direction, and the second limiting part 21 is located at the lower end of the water outlet 22. The water tank 2 fills water into the cavity 11 of the outer shell 1 through the water outlet channel 221, which is convenient and quick.
