Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a baking pan and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for convenient cooking, all-in-one ovens, as devices integrating multiple cooking functions, have become widely popular. All-in-one ovens typically include an oven function, with the baking tray as one of the core components, bearing the important task of holding the food. In current technology, the temperature of the baking tray in an all-in-one oven can reach a high level during operation to ensure that the food is heated evenly and achieves ideal cooking results. However, this high-temperature environment also brings new challenges.

[0003] Specifically, some ingredients high in starch, protein, and colloids are prone to decomposition, caramelization, or coagulation during heating, causing them to stick to the baking pan—a phenomenon known as "sticking." Once this happens, not only is it difficult to remove the food from the pan, but some types of pastries, such as buns and dumplings, are also prone to leaking when removed, severely impacting the user's cooking experience. Furthermore, some of this stuck food remains on the baking pan, increasing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0004] To address this issue, users might take measures such as wrapping food in aluminum foil or oiling the bottom of the baking pan. However, while using aluminum foil is effective, it's cumbersome and unsuitable for certain types of food, such as some pasta and vegetables. Furthermore, even when oiling the bottom of the baking pan, precise control of the amount is difficult. Too much oil not only affects the taste of the food but may also be unhealthy; too little oil may cause it to dry out, failing to prevent sticking. In addition, frequently oiling the food requires users to interrupt the machine multiple times during cooking, removing the food and restarting the program, which not only increases the complexity of operation but also increases the risk of burns from the baking pan or food. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a baking pan and cooking equipment to alleviate the technical problem of difficulty in oiling the baking pan in existing cooking equipment.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example 1 like Figures 1-3 As shown, the baking pan provided by this utility model includes: a pan body 1, an oil storage structure 2 inside the pan body 1, an oil storage cavity 21 inside the oil storage structure 2, an oil inlet 22 and an oil outlet 23 communicating with the inside and outside of the oil storage structure 2; the oil flowing out from the oil outlet 23 falls on the bottom surface of the pan body 1; an electric control valve mechanism is provided on the oil storage structure 2, the electric control valve mechanism is electrically connected to the controller of the cooking equipment, and the electric control valve mechanism is located at the oil outlet 23 to control the opening and closing of the oil outlet 23.

[0028] Oil can be injected into the oil storage chamber 21 through the oil inlet 22. Then, during cooking, the electronically controlled valve mechanism is activated, allowing the oil to flow from the oil outlet 23 onto the pan body 1. The baking pan can automatically open the oil outlet 23 when needed to brush the pan with oil, preventing food from sticking to the pan. Furthermore, for ingredients that already require oiling during cooking, this design eliminates the need for the user to manually remove the ingredients and brush them with oil, making it more convenient for the user.

[0029] In this embodiment, the overall structure of the baking pan is similar to that of a traditional all-in-one baking pan. The baking pan has an oil storage structure 2 at both the front and back of the pan body 1. The oil storage cavity 21 of the oil storage structure 2 can be integrated with the pan body 1 and is used to store edible oil. The baking pan is rectangular in shape when viewed from above. The oil storage structure 2 extends along the length (left-right direction) of the pan body 1, and the opening direction of the oil outlet 23 is along the width direction of the pan body 1. The short distance from the oil path to the center of the baking pan facilitates the oil covering the entire pan.

[0030] An oil inlet 22 is provided above the oil storage chamber 21, through which users can add cooking oil to the oil storage chamber 21.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, at the same time, at least one oil outlet 23 is provided on the side wall of the oil storage chamber 21, and each oil outlet 23 is equipped with an electrically controlled valve mechanism. When the electrically controlled valve mechanism is closed, the all-in-one machine works normally; when the electrically controlled valve mechanism is opened, cooking oil will flow out from the oil outlet 23 to brush the plate 1 and food in the area covered by the oil outlet 23.

[0032] There can be multiple oil outlets 23, which are evenly arranged in the left and right direction to ensure that the cooking oil flows out evenly.

[0033] The electronically controlled valve mechanisms can be independent of each other, allowing one or more of them to be controlled individually, thus achieving the effect of applying oil to a localized area.

[0034] The oil outlet 23 can also be configured as a spray type to make the oil spraying range of the oil outlet 23 larger. Spray type nozzles are existing technology. The specific configuration method of setting the oil outlet 23 as a spray type nozzle will not be described in detail.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the dish body 1 includes an inclined surface 11 that is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and the oil storage structure 2 is located at the higher end of the inclined surface 11. In this embodiment, there are two oil storage structures 2 and two inclined surfaces 11. The two inclined surfaces 11 are arranged in the front-back direction, and the edges of the lowest points of the two inclined surfaces 11 are connected to each other in a "V" shape. One oil storage structure 2 is located at the highest point of one inclined surface 11, and the other oil storage structure 2 is located at the highest point of the other inclined surface 11. The edible oil flowing out of the oil storage cavity 21 will flow along the inclined surface 11 towards the center of the dish body 1.

[0036] The V-shaped pan 1 allows the oil to remain on the food for a longer period. In this embodiment, the center of the pan 1 does not have an oil collection structure 12 or an oil cup 13; the front and rear inclined surfaces 11 of the pan 1 are directly connected, forming an angle. The cooking oil flowing from the pan is directly stored in the bottom angle. The advantage of this structure is that the cooking oil on the pan can remain for a longer time, and the food can always be cooked with sufficient oil. This structure is suitable for handling foods that require a large amount of cooking oil, such as frying.

[0037] Example 2 like Figures 4-6 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, an oil collecting structure 12 is provided in the middle of the two inclined surfaces 11 to store excess cooking oil for easy cleaning. The oil collecting structure 12 may include a groove extending in the left-right direction. The surfaces of the pan 1 before and after the oil collecting structure 12 are both inclined surfaces 11, tilting towards the central oil collecting structure 12. The cooking oil released from the oil storage cavity 21 will naturally move towards the oil collecting structure 12 in the center of the pan 1 due to gravity, thereby brushing oil onto the baking pan and the food.

[0038] However, it is important to note that the angle of the baking pan should not be set too high, otherwise it will affect the user's ability to place the ingredients.

[0039] Example 3 like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 2 is that the disc body 1 is provided with an oil hole 16 that penetrates the bottom surface of the oil collection structure 12; an oil cup 13 connected to the disc body 1 is provided below the disc body 1, and the oil cup 13 is used to collect the oil flowing out from the oil hole 16.

[0040] This structure has several oil holes 16 in the original oil collection structure 12 area, and a removable oil cup 13 is set at the bottom of the oil holes 16. Compared with the structure of embodiment 2, the oil cup 13 can collect more oil, and since the oil cup 13 is a removable structure, it is more convenient for users to clean.

[0041] However, the oil cup 13 will also increase costs. In addition, since the oil cup 13 itself is large, it will also affect the placement of the baking tray. Compared with the solution in Example 2, each has its own advantages.

[0042] Example 4 like Figure 9 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the oil storage structure 2 is detachably connected to the disc body 1; the oil storage structure 2 is provided with a first electrical connection structure, and the disc body 1 is provided with a second electrical connection structure. After the oil storage structure 2 is connected to the disc body 1, the first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure are connected.

[0043] In this embodiment, the oil storage chamber 21 can be removed from the plate body 1. Compared with the integrated oil storage chamber 21, this detachable oil storage chamber 21 can be easily installed and removed, allowing users to more easily replenish cooking oil and also making it easier to clean the plate body 1 and the oil storage chamber 21.

[0044] To ensure electrical continuity between the plate body 1 and the oil storage chamber 21, a pin structure can be used. The plate body 1 has a second electrical connection structure, such as terminal 15, which connects to the controller of the cooking equipment. The oil storage chamber 21 has a corresponding first electrical connection structure, such as a pin. When the oil storage chamber 21 is placed on the plate body 1, the pin and terminal 15 connect, allowing the controller to control the electrically controlled valve structure of the oil storage structure 2.

[0045] The oil storage structure 2 is snapped or magnetically connected to the disc body 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the oil storage structure 2 is provided with a buckle 24, while the pan body 1 is provided with a corresponding slot 14. When the oil storage structure 2 is installed on the pan body 1, the slot 14 and the buckle 24 can be combined with each other, thus fixing the oil storage structure 2 to the pan body 1. Similarly, the user only needs to move the buckle 24 to easily remove the oil tube from the baking pan.

[0047] The cooking apparatus provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned baking pan. Because the cooking apparatus provided by this utility model uses the aforementioned baking pan, it also possesses the advantages of a baking pan.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
