Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric ovens, specifically an electric oven with a viewing window on top. Background Technology

[0002] Electric ovens are widely used cooking appliances in modern family kitchens, used for baking pastries, roasting meats, and more. During operation, baking enthusiasts need to frequently observe the food inside the oven cavity, noting its expansion and browning, to precisely control the heat and time for optimal cooking results. To meet this need, current electric ovens typically have a transparent glass window on the door, allowing users to observe the interior. However, this limited viewing angle restricts observation, only allowing users to see the front or sides of the food. For items like bread, chiffon cakes, chicken wings, or roasted meat, the browning and caramelization of the top are crucial for determining completion and whether foil covering is necessary. The existing front window completely obstructs this view, creating a blind spot and leading to misjudgments of heat, resulting in burnt or undercooked food. Secondly, electric ovens are typically placed on kitchen countertops or cabinets, at a height generally below eye level for an adult standing at attention. When users need to observe the food through the front window, they often have to bend over or even squat down to get their eyes on the food inside. Throughout the cooking process, users may need to make this observation multiple times, and this inconvenient bending posture adds to their burden and results in a poor user experience.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. An electric oven with a viewing window on the top includes an outer shell 2 and an inner liner 3 placed therein. A heat dissipation area 10 is formed between the outer periphery of the inner liner 3 and the outer shell 2, and a door frame 1 is installed at the front end of the heat dissipation area 10. The inner liner 3 is hollow, forming a baking cavity. A door is hinged to the door frame 1 for opening and closing the baking cavity. An inner window 31 is provided at the upper end of the inner liner 3, and an inner mounting plate 32 extends inward from the lower end of the inner window 31. An inner decorative panel 4 is placed on the inner mounting plate 32. The inner window 31 is in communication with the baking cavity. An outer window 21 is provided at the upper end of the outer shell 2, and an outer mounting plate 22 extends inward from the lower end of the outer window 21. An outer decorative panel 5 is placed on the outer mounting plate 22. The inner window 31 and the outer window 21 are correspondingly distributed. The inner decorative panel 4 and the outer decorative panel 5 are made of transparent material.

[0027] The electric oven features two aligned inner and outer windows on its top, both within the inner cavity and outer shell. An inner mounting plate extends inward from the lower end of the inner window, upon which an inner decorative panel rests; similarly, an outer mounting plate extends inward from the lower end of the outer window, upon which an outer decorative panel rests. The inner window is open to the baking cavity without obstructions. Light from the baking cavity, reflected off the food, rises through the inner window and its transparent inner decorative panel, then through the heat dissipation area between the inner cavity and outer shell, and finally through the outer window and its transparent outer decorative panel, reaching the view of the user outside the oven. For the first time, users can clearly observe the browning and rising of bread and meat through the top window from a top-down perspective. Users no longer need to bend or squat down through traditional small doors; they can simply stand and look down, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of observation. Furthermore, by using the structure of inner and outer windows and supporting them with mounting plates instead of fixing the inner and outer decorative panels together, when users need to clean and maintain the inside of the baking cavity, they can remove the inner and outer decorative panels and then pass through the inner and outer windows to clean and maintain the interior, thus improving the convenience of cleaning and maintenance.

[0028] Both the inner decorative panel 4 and the outer decorative panel 5 are made of transparent glass. The preferred transparent material is transparent glass, such as high-temperature resistant tempered glass or borosilicate glass. Using glass ensures that it will not deform, melt, or release harmful substances under long-term high-temperature baking, guaranteeing user safety and durability. Secondly, glass has excellent light transmittance and is not easily scratched or yellowed by aging like plastic, maintaining a clear and transparent field of vision for a long time. At the same time, the smooth surface of glass makes it easy for users to clean.

[0029] The inner mounting plate 32 and the inner sidewall of the inner window 31 form an inner mounting groove, in which the inner decorative panel 4 is detachably placed. The upper surface of the inner decorative panel 4 is flush with the upper surface of the inner liner 3. An inner mounting groove for accommodating the inner decorative panel is formed between the inner sidewall of the inner window and the inner mounting plate. The inner decorative panel is placed in this groove, and its left, right, front, back, and bottom directions are all restricted by the groove, allowing only upward movement. The inner decorative panel is not fixed in the groove but can be removed. As the inner decorative panel is closest to the baking cavity, it is easily contaminated by splattered oil. Users can easily remove it from the inner liner by simply lifting it up. The user can then thoroughly clean the inner decorative panel before placing it back in the inner mounting groove, ensuring the oven's cleanliness and hygiene, and making operation convenient and efficient. Furthermore, the flush arrangement ensures that the surface of the inner decorative panel and the upper surface of the inner liner are on the same plane, avoiding steps and gaps, and preventing food residue or oil from accumulating at the edges.

[0030] The outer mounting plate 22 and the inner wall of the outer window 21 form an outer mounting groove, and the outer decorative panel 5 is detachably placed in this outer mounting groove; the upper surface of the outer decorative panel 5 is flush with the upper surface of the outer shell 2. An outer mounting groove for accommodating the outer decorative panel is formed between the inner wall of the outer window and the outer mounting plate. The outer decorative panel is placed in this outer mounting groove, and its left, right, front, back, and bottom directions are all restricted by the outer mounting groove; only the top direction can move. The outer decorative panel is not fixed in the outer mounting groove but can be removed. During long-term use of the electric oven, dust or moisture may enter the heat dissipation area.

[0031] At this point, the user can easily remove the outer decorative panel from the outer shell by simply lifting it up. This allows for thorough cleaning of the inner decorative panel and the internal ventilation area, ensuring the oven remains clean and hygienic, operates conveniently and efficiently, and provides a clear and transparent view for the user. Furthermore, the flush design ensures that the surface of the outer decorative panel is on the same plane as the top surface of the outer shell, avoiding steps and gaps. This prevents food residue or grease from accumulating at the edges and enhances the overall aesthetics of the oven.

[0032] The door includes a mounting frame 6, with a front window hollowed out in the mounting frame 6. A front decorative panel 7 is installed in the front window. When the electric oven has a top viewing window, it also has a front viewing window in the door. The front window is located within the mounting frame of the door structure, and a front decorative panel is installed in this window, providing users with dual observation dimensions: a top-down view and a front-level view. Users can observe the browning of food through the top window, and also observe the side expansion of food or the lower layer of multi-layer baking through the front window. The combination of these two views achieves panoramic, blind-spot-free monitoring of the baking cavity, providing ultimate observation convenience.

[0033] The mounting frame 6 includes an upper edge strip 61, a lower edge strip 62, and side edge strips 63 connecting the upper edge strip 61 and the lower edge strip 62. A slot 64 is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 6, bent towards the center. The front decorative panel 7 is inserted into this slot 64, connecting the front decorative panel 7 to the door body as a whole. The door body's mounting frame consists of an upper edge strip, a lower edge strip, and two side edge strips distributed on the top, bottom, left, and right sides. A surrounding slot is formed on the inner side of these edge strips facing the baking cavity through a bending process. During assembly, the edge of the front decorative panel is inserted into and snapped into this slot, thus being firmly fixed to the door frame. This slot-type connection provides a large contact area and strong restraint, ensuring that the front decorative panel remains stable and does not loosen under the impact of frequent opening and closing of the door. Furthermore, the front decorative panel is easy to assemble; it is fixedly hidden inside, resulting in a simple and aesthetically pleasing front appearance of the door body.

[0034] The aforementioned front decorative panel 7 is made of transparent glass. Together with the inner and outer decorative panels, it uses high-temperature resistant, high-definition, and easy-to-clean glass, ensuring excellent durability and safety for all viewing windows.

[0035] In summary, the electric oven features two aligned inner and outer windows at the top, within both the inner cavity and outer shell. An inner mounting plate extends inward from the lower end of the inner window, upon which the inner decorative panel rests. Similarly, an outer mounting plate extends inward from the lower end of the outer window, upon which the outer decorative panel rests. The inner window is open to the baking cavity without obstructions. For the first time, users can clearly observe the browning and rising of bread and meat through the top window from a top-down perspective. Users no longer need to bend or squat down through traditional small doors; they can simply stand and look down, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of observation.

[0036] Furthermore, the interior and exterior decorative panels are installed in a detachable manner, allowing users to easily remove them for thorough cleaning, thus solving the maintenance and cleaning problems of oil stains obstructing the view and dirt in the heat dissipation area.

[0037] The front door of the electric oven has a viewing window—the front window—with a front decorative panel installed in it. Together with the top viewing window, it forms a panoramic, blind-spot-free observation view that allows users to observe the browning of food through the top window and the side expansion or the lower layer status of multi-layer baking through the front window. The combination of the two provides panoramic, blind-spot-free monitoring of the baking cavity, offering ultimate observation convenience.

[0038] The front, interior, and exterior trim panels are all made of high-temperature resistant transparent glass, ensuring safety, durability, and long-lasting clear visibility in high-temperature environments, thus allowing for widespread use.
