Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent cooking equipment technology, and specifically to a heat dissipation structure applied to intelligent cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] To improve meal preparation efficiency, a multi-station intelligent cooking device with multiple cooking stations has emerged on the market. It can intelligently and automatically control the heating of the lunch box to cook the ingredients inside according to the set program.

[0003] Referring to the technical solution of application number 202210411435.X, this automatic cooking equipment typically includes a housing, a heating chamber for holding lunch boxes, and a drive device for rotating the heating chamber. Both the heating chamber and the drive device are installed inside the housing. The front ring of the heating chamber is supported by rollers, and the rear is supported by a bearing seat to ensure stable operation. When the heating chamber heats the lunch box and its contents, the drive device rotates the heating chamber, causing the contents to tumble and thus achieve even heating. However, this technical solution lacks a heat dissipation structure. When multiple heating devices operate simultaneously, a large amount of heat is generated. If heat dissipation is not timely, the internal temperature of the automatic cooking equipment can easily become too high, affecting the stable operation of the internal electronic components and potentially causing safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a heat dissipation structure for use in intelligent cooking equipment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A heat dissipation structure for use in intelligent cooking equipment includes a housing, at least one door, and at least one heating device. The housing has at least one heating window communicating with its interior, and each heating window corresponds to at least one heating device. Each door corresponds to at least one heating window, and the door is closable and mounted on the housing. The housing is characterized in that it is further provided with at least one heat dissipation module for extracting hot air from inside the housing and discharging it to the outside of the housing, and each heating device corresponds to at least one heat dissipation module.

[0006] In this utility model, the heat dissipation module includes an exhaust pipe and an exhaust fan. The exhaust pipe is provided with an exhaust channel located inside it, as well as a heat dissipation air inlet and a pipe outlet connected to the exhaust channel. The heat dissipation air inlet is provided through the outer wall of the exhaust pipe. The air inlet end of the exhaust fan is connected to the pipe outlet, and the air outlet end is connected to the outside of the housing.

[0007] In this invention, each heating device has at least one cooling fan that blows air onto it.

[0008] In this invention, the cooling fan is configured to blow air towards the bottom of the heating device.

[0009] In this invention, the heat dissipation air inlet is located above the air outlet of the cooling fan, and the heating device is located between the heat dissipation air inlet and the cooling fan.

[0010] In this utility model, the heat dissipation air inlets are provided on both the left and right ends of the exhaust pipe, and the heat dissipation air inlets are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides.

[0011] In this invention, the heat dissipation air inlet is composed of multiple strip-shaped holes arranged from front to back on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe.

[0012] In this invention, the housing is provided with multiple heat dissipation bases for mounting cooling fans.

[0013] In this utility model, part of the heat dissipation base is located on the upper end of the exhaust pipe, and the other part of the heat dissipation base is located on the inner bottom wall of the box.

[0014] In this utility model, the heat dissipation base is provided with a fan inlet corresponding to the air inlet end of the heat dissipation fan and an air inlet channel located below the fan inlet. The heat dissipation fan is installed on the top of the heat dissipation base so that the air inlet end of the heat dissipation fan is connected to the fan inlet. The air inlet channel has at least two ends connected to the inside of the housing.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Each heating device inside the housing is equipped with an independent heat dissipation module. This module is controlled by a control module and activates to dissipate heat when the corresponding heating device is operating, thereby quickly reducing the localized high temperature of that heating device. Simultaneously, a cooling fan blows air onto the bottom of the heating device, directly acting on its outer surface, further improving heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, the exhaust pipe's air inlet, located above the fan outlet, draws in hot air from around the heating device and then exhausts it outside the housing via the exhaust fan, improving the internal heat dissipation efficiency and solving the problem of heat accumulation when multiple heating devices are operating simultaneously.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-5This embodiment discloses a heat dissipation structure applied to an intelligent cooking device. The heat dissipation structure of this embodiment is applied to an intelligent cooking device with multiple cooking stations. It includes a housing 1, a control module 2 mounted on the housing 1, multiple doors 3, and multiple heating devices 4. The housing 1 has multiple heating windows 101 communicating with its interior, arranged horizontally and vertically. Each heating window 101 corresponds to one heating device 4, and the heating device 4 is electrically connected to the control module 2. Each door 3 corresponds to at least one heating window 101, and the door 3 is closable on the housing 1 to close or expose the corresponding heating window 101. The housing 1 also has at least one heat dissipation module for extracting hot air from inside the housing 1 and discharging it to the outside. The heat dissipation module is connected to and controlled by the control module 2, and each heating device 4 corresponds to at least one heat dissipation module.

[0022] In this embodiment, the door 3 is provided with a latch 31, and the latch 31 is correspondingly matched with a door lock device 5 installed on the box body 1. The door lock device 5 is used to cooperate with the latch 31 to control the opening and closing state of the door 3. The door lock device 5 is connected and controlled by the control module 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the heating window 101 is located on the front side of the housing 1. The heating device 4 includes a heating chamber 41 for placing a lunchbox, a heating element for heating the lunchbox, and a driving device 42 for rotating the heating chamber 41. The heating chamber 41 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1, and the interior of the heating chamber 41 is a heating cavity 40 for placing the lunchbox. The heating element is mounted on the heating chamber 41, and the rotation output end of the driving device 42 is connected to the heating chamber 41. A heating mounting bracket 5 is provided inside the housing 1, and the heating device 4 is rotatably connected to the heating mounting bracket 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation module includes an exhaust pipe 6 for connecting the inside of the housing 1 and an exhaust fan 7 for generating suction power in the exhaust pipe 6 and discharging gas to the outside of the housing 1. Specifically, the exhaust pipe 6 is provided with an exhaust channel 61 located inside it, as well as a heat dissipation air inlet 62 and a pipe outlet 63 connected to the exhaust channel 61. The heat dissipation air inlet 62 is provided through the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 6. The air inlet end of the exhaust fan 7 is connected to the pipe outlet 63, and the air outlet end is connected to the outside of the housing 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 6 is fixed to the housing 1 and the heating mounting bracket 5. The exhaust pipe 6 can be welded to the housing 1 and the heating mounting bracket 5, or it can be detachably installed via a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​structure. Furthermore, the upper surface of the exhaust pipe 6 is flat, and the pipe outlet 63 penetrates through the upper surface of the exhaust pipe 6. The exhaust fan 7 is installed on the upper surface of the exhaust pipe 6, and the air inlet of the exhaust fan 7 is connected to the pipe outlet 63, thus completing the installation of the exhaust fan 7. Further, the rear side of the housing 1 is provided with a discharge port 102 through which the air outlet of the exhaust fan 7 passes. After the exhaust fan 7 is installed, the air outlet of the exhaust fan 7 extends through the discharge port 102 to the outside of the housing 1, thereby allowing hot air to be discharged outside the housing 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, each heating device 4 is provided with at least one cooling fan 8 that blows air onto it. The cooling fan 8 is configured to blow air toward the bottom of the heating device 4, with its air outlet direction toward the bottom of the heating device 4. This blows air upward and acts on the outer surface of the heating device 4, preventing the heating device 4 from accumulating heat due to prolonged operation and effectively improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation air inlet 62 is located above the air outlet of the cooling fan 8, and the heating device 4 is located between the heat dissipation air inlet 62 and the cooling fan 8, so as to ensure that the intake hot airflow mainly comes from the high-temperature area around the heating device 4, thereby improving heat dissipation.

[0028] When the heating device 4 is working, one of the heat dissipation modules corresponding to the heating device 4 works simultaneously. At this time, the heat dissipation fan 8 and the exhaust fan 7 of the heat dissipation module are started. The airflow blown out by the heat dissipation fan 8 passes through the outer surface of the heating device 4, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the heating device 4. The exhaust fan 7 draws in hot air from the heat dissipation air inlet 62 and discharges it to the outside of the housing 1, thereby effectively reducing the temperature inside the housing 1 and preventing heat accumulation from affecting the operation of other components.

[0029] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation air inlet 62 is located in the upper middle part of the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 6, thereby preventing oil from flowing back into the housing 1 due to the low position of the heat dissipation air inlet 62. Furthermore, the heat dissipation air inlet 62 is provided on both the left and right ends of the exhaust pipe 6, and the heat dissipation air inlet 62 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, thereby evenly drawing in hot air from the housing 1 and improving airflow stability. Furthermore, the heat dissipation air inlet 62 is composed of multiple strip-shaped holes 621 arranged from front to back on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 6, effectively expanding the air intake area and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with multiple heat dissipation bases 9 for mounting cooling fans 8. Some of the heat dissipation bases 9 are located on the upper end of the exhaust pipe 6, while others are located on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1. Each heat dissipation base 9 has a fan inlet 91 corresponding to the air inlet end of the cooling fan 8 and an air inlet channel 92 located below the fan inlet 91. The cooling fan 8 is mounted on the top of the heat dissipation base 9, with its air inlet end connected to the fan inlet 91. The air inlet channel 92 has at least two ends connected to the interior of the housing 1, enabling the cooling fan 8 to effectively drive airflow. Preferably, one cooling fan 8 is positioned below each heating device 4. The heat dissipation bases 9 are fixed to the upper end of the exhaust pipe 6 or the bottom of the housing 1, depending on the arrangement of the heating devices 4, as long as the air outlet end of the cooling fan 8 faces the bottom of the heating device 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a support structure for lifting the housing 1. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with at least two support seats 10 arranged from front to back. The support seats 10 are used to enhance the structural strength of the housing 1. The support structure includes a plurality of support rollers 11 installed at the bottom of the support seats 10. The plurality of support rollers 11 are arranged in a rectangular pattern. The support rollers 11 not only lift the housing 1 off the ground as a whole, but also facilitate the movement of the intelligent cooking device. The support rollers 11 are preferably omnidirectional wheels with a self-locking function.

[0032] In this embodiment, the box 1 includes a box body 103 and a rear cover plate 104. The rear end opening of the box body 103 is provided to facilitate the installation of various modules inside the box body 103. The rear cover plate 104 is detachably installed on the rear end of the box body 103 by means of bolt connection, thereby closing the rear end opening of the box body 103. The discharge port 102 is provided on the rear cover plate 104.
