[0005] In an optional embodiment, the hinge assembly further includes a connecting groove provided on one of the side opening and the door panel, and a connector provided on the other corresponding to the connecting groove. The connector is laterally provided with one of the pivot and the shaft hole, and the connecting groove is correspondingly provided with the other of the pivot and the shaft hole. When the limiting member is in the unlocked state, the connector is adapted to be inserted into or removed from the connecting groove. When the limiting member is in the locked state, the connector is adapted to be laterally limited by the limiting member within the connecting groove. The connector and the connecting groove are adapted to position and / or limit the installation of the door panel. By using the connector and the connecting groove to position and / or limit the installation of the door panel, it can not only effectively reduce the difficulty of disassembling and installing the door panel and improve the user's convenience, but also reduce the situation where the door panel shakes during installation, causing poor sealing of the cooking cavity, resulting in poor cooking efficiency and effect of food in the cooking cavity and a poor user experience. At the same time, by limiting the connector to the connecting groove to connect the door panel and the body, the connector can also be hidden by the connecting groove, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking device.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the mounting groove is provided with a guide post arranged parallel to the operating component, and the extension is provided with a guide hole corresponding to the guide post. The extension is adapted to be slidably sleeved onto the guide post through the guide hole. The guide post is adapted to limit and guide the movement of the operating component. By limiting and guiding the movement of the operating component through the guide post, misalignment, jamming, or damage during movement can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the operating component and the cooking device.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the side opening or the bottom of the door panel is provided with an inwardly recessed clearance groove, and the mounting groove and the connecting groove are adapted to be disposed within the clearance groove. By disposing the connecting groove and the mounting groove within the clearance groove, the mounting groove and the connecting groove can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking device and effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, a guide barrier is provided around the periphery of the opening of the limiting groove, and the limiting member is at least partially movably confined within the guide barrier. The guide barrier is adapted to limit and guide the movement of the limiting member. By limiting and guiding the movement of the limiting member through the guide barrier, misalignment, jamming, or damage during movement can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the limiting member.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the operating element and the limiting element are adapted to be located on the side of the door panel facing the side opening. By placing the operating element and the limiting element on the side of the door panel facing the side opening, the operating element and the limiting element can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking device and effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft is adapted to be disposed in the connecting groove, the shaft hole is adapted to be disposed on the connector, and a guide gap matching the thickness of the outer wall of the shaft hole is adapted to be formed between the rotating shaft and the inner wall of the connecting groove. The connector is adapted to be movably sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft through the guide gap. The guide gap is adapted to limit and / or guide the connection of the connector. By limiting and / or guiding the connection of the connector through the guide gap, the connection difficulty of the connector can be effectively reduced, and the connector can be prevented from shaking randomly during connection, which could lead to poor sealing of the door panel and affect the food cooking efficiency and effect.

[0028] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6The diagram shows a cooking device with a detachable door panel provided by this utility model. The cooking device includes a body 10 and a cooking cavity 11 for heating food disposed within the body 10. The cooking cavity 11 has a side opening 12, and a door panel 20 that can be opened or closed is provided at the side opening 12. One side of the door panel 20 is adapted to be rotatably connected to the side opening 12 via a hinge assembly 30. The hinge assembly 30 includes a pivot 311 disposed on the door panel 20, a shaft hole 321 disposed on the outer edge of the side opening 12 corresponding to the pivot 311, a limiting member 33 corresponding to the pivot 311, and an operating member 34 that can drive the limiting member 33 to move. The limiting member 33 has a locked state that restricts the rotating shaft 311 from being removed from the shaft hole 321, and an unlocked state in which the limiting member 33 is moved by the operating member 34 to allow the rotating shaft 311 to be removed from the shaft hole 321. When the limiting member 33 is in the unlocked state, the rotating shaft 311 can be separated from the shaft hole 321, and the door panel 20 can be removed from the body 10 to facilitate the user to clean the cooking cavity 11 and the door panel 20 to ensure the hygiene of the cooked food. When the limiting member 33 is in the locked state, the rotating shaft 311 can be limited to the shaft hole 321, and the door panel 20 can be installed on the body 10 to close the side opening 12, thereby ensuring the normal cooking of food. By providing the hinge assembly 30 between the door panel 20 and the side opening 12, a detachable connection between the door panel 20 and the body 10 can be achieved. This allows users to disassemble the door panel 20 after cooking to better clean the door panel 20 and the cooking cavity, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the cooked food and effectively improving the user experience. Simultaneously, using the hinge assembly 30 to connect the door panel 20 and the body 10 also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the door panel 20, effectively improving the user convenience and experience of the cooking device. Furthermore, in another optional embodiment, the rotating shaft 311 can also be located on the outer edge of the side opening 12, the shaft hole 321 is adapted to be correspondingly located on the door panel 20, and the limiting member 33 is adapted to correspond to the shaft hole 321 or the rotating shaft, thus achieving the same effect.

By limiting the operating member 34 through the extension 341, the operating member 34 can be at least partially confined within the mounting groove 36, preventing the operating member 34 from dislodging from the mounting groove 36 and thus avoiding transmission failure, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the hinge assembly 30.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the mounting groove 36 is provided with a guide post 361 arranged parallel to the operating member 34. The extension 341 is provided with a guide hole 342 corresponding to the guide post 361. The extension 341 is adapted to be slidably sleeved on the guide post 361 through the guide hole 342. The guide post 361 is adapted to limit and guide the movement of the operating member 34. By limiting and guiding the movement of the operating member 34 through the guide post 361, misalignment, jamming, or damage of the operating member 34 during movement can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the operating member 30 and the performance stability of the cooking device.

[0033] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the bottom of the door panel 20 is provided with an inwardly recessed clearance groove 21, and the mounting groove 36 and the connecting groove 31 are adapted to be disposed within the clearance groove 21. By disposing the connecting groove 31 and the mounting groove 36 within the clearance groove 21, the mounting groove 36 and the connecting groove 32 can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking device and effectively enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, in another optional embodiment, the clearance groove 21 can also be disposed on the outer edge of the side opening 12, thus achieving the same effect.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a guide barrier 351 surrounds the opening of the limiting groove 35, and the limiting member 33 is at least partially movably confined within the guide barrier 351. The guide barrier 351 is adapted to limit and guide the movement of the limiting member 33. By using the guide barrier 351 to limit and guide the movement of the limiting member 33, misalignment, jamming, or damage during movement can be avoided, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the limiting member 33.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in an optional embodiment, the operating member 34 and the limiting member 33 are adapted to be disposed on the side of the door panel 20 facing the side opening 12. By disposing of the operating member 34 and the limiting member 33 on the side of the door panel 20 facing the side opening 12, the operating member 34 and the limiting member 33 can be concealed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the cooking device and effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft 311 is adapted to be disposed in the connecting groove 31, and the shaft hole 321 is adapted to be disposed on the connector 32. A guide gap 312 matching the thickness of the outer wall of the shaft hole 321 is formed between the rotating shaft 311 and the inner wall of the connecting groove 31. The connector 32 is adapted to be movably sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 311 through the guide gap 312. The guide gap 312 is adapted to guide the connection of the connector 32. By guiding the connection of the connector 32 through the guide gap 312, the connection difficulty of the connector 32 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the door panel. At the same time, the guide gap 312 is also adapted to limit the connection of the connector 32. By limiting the connection of the connector 32 through the guide gap 312, the connector 32 can be prevented from shaking randomly during connection, which could lead to poor sealing of the door panel 20 and affect the food cooking efficiency and cooking effect, thus effectively ensuring the food cooking efficiency and food cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the cooking device is adapted to be an air fryer. The lower side of the door panel 20 is hinged to the side opening 12 through multiple connection points, and one of the connection points is adapted to be connected by the hinge assembly 30.
