Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliances technology, and in particular to a steam oven. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ovens typically consist of an inner cavity, a baking tray, and a heating element. The heating element is usually located at the top of the inner cavity to allow heat to radiate evenly downwards towards the food. When users pull the baking tray out of the inner cavity, place the food in it, and then push it back in, the baking tray can easily become misaligned with the heating element due to the depth of the inner cavity, thus affecting the cooking results. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a steam oven that facilitates the correspondence between the baking tray position and the heating element position.

[0004] The steam oven includes an inner cavity assembly, a heating element, a baking tray assembly, a drive component, and a transmission component. The inner cavity assembly includes an inner cavity with a cooking cavity, an opening, and a clearance opening. The opening and clearance opening are respectively connected to the cooking cavity. The opening is for food to enter and exit, and the clearance opening is located at the top of the inner cavity and extends along its depth. The heating element is disposed within the cooking cavity and slidably connected to the top of the inner cavity. The baking tray assembly is disposed within the cooking cavity and below the heating element. The baking tray assembly is slidably connected to the inner cavity assembly and fixedly connected to the heating element. The baking tray assembly includes a baking tray, and the heating element... The projection of the component along the height direction of the inner pot at least covers the bottom of the baking pan; the driving component is installed on the outside of the inner pot and located at the top of the inner pot; the transmission assembly includes a rotating component, an abutting component, and an elastic component, the rotating component is connected to the driving component in a transmission manner, one end of the elastic component is fixed to the inner pot, and the other end is connected to the heating component through the clearance opening, the abutting component is connected to the heating component through the clearance opening and abuts against the rotating component, the rotating component has a rotation axis, and along the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the distance of at least a portion of the surface of the rotating component from the rotation axis gradually increases or gradually decreases along the circumference of the rotation axis.

[0005] Understandably, the driving component provides the power source for the synchronous movement of the heating element and the baking tray assembly. The driving component transmits power to the rotating component in the transmission assembly. The rotating component abuts against the abutting component. Along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the distance between at least a portion of the rotating component's surface and the rotation axis gradually increases or decreases circumferentially along the rotation axis. Therefore, when the rotating component rotates, the abutting component contacts different surfaces of the rotating component, and the distance between the abutting component and the rotation axis changes accordingly. Under the rotation of the rotating component, the abutting component can drive the heating element to move along the extension direction of the clearance opening. Simultaneously, the elastic component is connected to the heating element and can adapt to the movement of the heating element by undergoing corresponding elastic deformation, ensuring that the abutting component always remains in contact with the rotating component. Because the heating element is fixedly connected to the baking pan assembly, the heating element and the baking pan assembly can move synchronously, so that the positions of the baking pan assembly and the heating element are always corresponding. The projection of the heating element along the height direction of the inner pot at least covers the bottom of the baking pan. The heat of the heating element can be evenly distributed towards the baking pan, which is conducive to the even heating of the food and avoids the food being undercooked due to misalignment of the heating element and the baking pan, thus ensuring the cooking effect of the food.

[0006] In one embodiment, the rotating member includes a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion connected to the first abutting portion; along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion gradually decrease outward from the rotation axis, the distance of at least a portion of the surface of the first abutting portion from the rotation axis gradually increases or decreases along the circumference of the rotation axis, and the distance of the surface of the second abutting portion from the rotation axis is equal along the circumference of the rotation axis.

[0007] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly further includes a connecting rod that connects the heating element and the elastic element.

[0008] In one embodiment, the connecting rod is arranged perpendicular to the clearance opening, and the middle part of the connecting rod is connected to the heating element through the clearance opening. Along the length direction of the connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is connected to an elastic element, and the other end is connected to another elastic element. Each elastic element extends along the depth direction of the inner liner.

[0009] In one embodiment, at least one of the heating element and the transmission assembly is provided with a connecting strip, the connecting strip passing through the clearance opening and connected to the other; the connecting strip extends along the depth direction of the inner liner and is able to abut against the inner wall on both sides of the clearance opening along the depth direction of the inner liner. Along the height direction of the inner liner, the abutment is connected above the connecting strip.

[0010] In one embodiment, along the height direction of the inner liner, the rotating member is positioned above the connecting baffle and spaced apart from the connecting baffle.

[0011] In one embodiment, the steam oven includes a linkage arm connected between the heating element and the baking tray assembly, and close to the side wall of the inner cavity; Along the first direction, the linkage arm is provided on at least one side of the baking pan, and along the depth direction of the inner liner, the linkage arm is provided on the side of the baking pan away from the opening; The first direction, the inner liner depth direction, and the inner liner height direction are all set at angles to each other.

[0012] In one embodiment, one of the heating element and the inner liner is provided with a first sliding groove extending along the depth direction of the inner liner, and the other is provided with a first sliding portion slidably connected to the groove wall of the first sliding groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the inner pot is provided with the first sliding groove, the heating element is provided with the first sliding portion, and the first sliding groove and the first sliding portion are respectively provided to gradually narrow from the top of the inner pot toward the baking pan along the height direction of the inner pot; or, the heating element is provided with the first sliding groove, the inner pot is provided with the first sliding portion, and the first sliding groove and the first sliding portion are respectively provided to gradually widen from the top of the inner pot toward the baking pan along the height direction of the inner pot.

The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a steam oven 100, which includes an inner cavity assembly 10, the inner cavity assembly 10 including an inner cavity 11, the inner cavity 11 having a cooking cavity 101 and an opening 102, the opening 102 communicating with the cooking cavity 101, and the opening 102 being used for food to enter and exit the cooking cavity 101.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, the steam oven 100 further includes a heating element 20 and a baking tray assembly 30. The heating element 20 is disposed within the cooking cavity 101 and slidably connected to the top of the inner liner 11. The baking tray assembly 30 is disposed within the cooking cavity 101 and located below the heating element 20. The baking tray assembly 30 is slidably connected to the inner liner assembly 10 and fixedly connected to the heating element 20. The baking tray assembly 30 includes a baking tray 31, and the projection of the heating element 20 along the height direction of the inner liner 11 at least covers the bottom of the baking tray 31. With this configuration, the heat emitted by the heating element 20 can be evenly radiated downwards to the baking tray 31 and cover the food on the baking tray 31, which helps to promote even heating of the food and ensure the cooking effect. Meanwhile, since the heating element 20 is fixedly connected to the baking pan assembly 30, the heating element 20 can slide synchronously with the baking pan assembly 30 when it slides. This ensures that the projection of the heating element 20 along the height direction of the inner pot 11 always covers at least the bottom of the baking pan 31. Before and after the baking pan 31 enters and exits the inner pot 11, the heating element 20 always maintains a corresponding position to the baking pan 31. After the food is placed on the baking pan 31, the baking pan assembly 30 and the heating element 20 move synchronously into the inner pot 11. This process requires no user intervention, and the heating element 20 can then begin heating the baking pan 31, saving heating time. After cooking, the baking pan 31 and the heating element 20 can be moved synchronously out of the inner pot 11. At this time, the residual heat of the heating element 20 can still be dissipated into the baking pan 31, reducing the cooling rate of the food in the baking pan 31. Especially in winter, this can prolong the time the food stays warm, helping to maintain its freshness.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a further embodiment, the inner liner 11 is provided with a clearance opening 103, which communicates with the cooking cavity 101. The clearance opening 103 is located at the top of the inner liner 11 and extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 11. The steam oven 100 also includes a drive component 40 and a transmission assembly 50. The drive component 40 is installed on the outside of the inner liner 11 and located at the top of the inner liner 11. The clearance opening 103 serves to avoid the connection between the transmission assembly 50 and the heating element 20. Power is transmitted to the transmission assembly 50 through the drive component 40, and then the transmission assembly 50 drives the heating element 20 and the baking tray assembly 30 to move synchronously, making operation simple.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in a specific embodiment, the transmission assembly 50 includes a rotating member 51, an abutting member 52, and an elastic member 53. The rotating member 51 is connected to the driving member 40. One end of the elastic member 53 is fixed to the inner liner 11, and the other end is connected to the heating member 20 through a clearance opening 103. The abutting member 52 is connected to the heating member 20 through the clearance opening 103 and abuts against the rotating member 51. Thus, the elastic member 53 can undergo corresponding elastic deformation according to the movement of the heating member 20 along the clearance opening 103, exerting a reverse elastic force on the heating member 20 to pull or push the heating member 20, so that the abutting member 52 can always remain in contact with the rotating member 51. At the same time, the rotating member 51 has a rotation axis, and along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the distance of at least a portion of the surface of the rotating member 51 from the rotation axis gradually increases or decreases circumferentially along the rotation axis. With this configuration, during the rotation of the rotating member 51, the abutting member 52 can abut against different surfaces of the rotating member 51, and thus the distance between the abutting member 52 and the rotation axis is different, so as to drive the heating member 20 to move along the extension direction of the relief opening 103, which makes the operation simple.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the drive member 40 has a drive shaft connected to the rotating member 51, and the axis of the drive shaft forms a rotation axis.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the steam oven 100 also includes a mounting housing 80, which covers at least the transmission assembly 50 and is mounted on the top of the inner liner 11. The drive member 40 is mounted on the mounting housing 80 or the inner liner 11. The mounting housing 80 is provided to protect the drive member 40 and the transmission assembly 50 and reduce interference.

[0029] In this application, for ease of explanation, the first direction, the depth direction of the inner liner 11, and the height direction of the inner liner 11 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, with the first direction as the x-axis, the depth direction of the inner liner 11 as the y-axis, and the height direction of the inner liner 11 as the z-axis.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the rotating member 51 includes a first abutting portion 511 and a second abutting portion 512 connected to the first abutting portion 511; along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the first abutting portion 511 and the second abutting portion 512 gradually shrink outward from the rotation axis, so that the formed surface can disperse the pressure when the abutting member 52 abuts against the rotating member 51, and reduce stress concentration.

[0031] In a further embodiment, along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, the distance from at least a portion of the surface of the first abutment portion 511 to the rotation axis gradually increases or decreases circumferentially along the rotation axis, while the distance from the surface of the second abutment portion 512 to the rotation axis remains constant circumferentially along the rotation axis. Thus, when the abutment member 52 abuts against the first abutment portion 511, as the rotating member 51 rotates, the distance from the abutment member 52 to the rotation axis gradually increases or decreases along the depth direction of the inner liner 11, thereby driving the heating element 20 to move outward or inward relative to the inner liner 11 along the depth direction of the inner liner 11, simplifying operation. When the abutment member 52 abuts against the second abutment portion 512, the distance from the abutment member 52 to the second abutment portion 512 remains constant as the rotating member 51 rotates, and the heating element 20 remains in an unchanged state.

[0032] It should be noted that, along the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the dividing line is the junction where the structure at the maximum size of the first abutment 511 and the structure at the maximum size of the second abutment 512 are connected, thus distinguishing the two sides of the first abutment 511 and the second abutment 512.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the transmission assembly 50 further includes a connecting rod 54, which connects the heating element 20 and the elastic element 53 to shorten the required length of the elastic element 53, facilitating the transmission of elastic force. At the same time, the connecting rod 54 extends the required lever arm to reduce the requirements on the elastic element 53, thereby reducing costs.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the connecting rod 54 is arranged perpendicular to the clearance opening 103. The middle part of the connecting rod 54 is connected to the heating element 20 through the clearance opening 103. Along the length direction of the connecting rod 54, one end of the connecting rod 54 is connected to an elastic element 53, and the other end is connected to another elastic element 53. Each elastic element 53 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 11. In this way, both ends of the connecting rod 54 can be subjected to the same elastic force of the elastic element 53, preventing the connecting rod 54 from rotating and providing support for both ends of the connecting rod 54. The connecting rod 54 transmits power to the heating element 20 and the abutment member 52, ensuring the tightness of the abutment member 52 and the rotating member 51.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in a specific embodiment, along the extending direction of the clearance opening 103, the abutment 52 and the connecting rod 54 are respectively disposed on both sides of the rotation axis. The abutment 52 is disposed on the side closer to the opening 102, and the connecting rod 54 is disposed on the side closer to the back of the inner liner 11. The end of the elastic member 53 near the opening 102 is fixed to the inner liner 11, and the end away from the opening 102 is connected to the connecting rod 54. When the rotating member 51 rotates, causing the distance between the abutment 52 and the rotation axis to gradually increase, the stroke of the abutment 52 driving the heating member 20 to move out of the inner liner 11 gradually increases, and the elastic member 53 is gradually compressed. The elastic member 53 has a reverse pushing effect on the connecting rod 54. When the rotating part 51 rotates until the distance between the abutting part 52 and the rotation axis reaches its maximum, the rotating part 51 continues to rotate, and the distance between the abutting part 52 and the rotation axis gradually decreases. Under the elastic force of the elastic part 53, the abutting part 52 remains in contact with the rotating part 51, and drives the heating part 20 to move into the inner liner 11.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the transmission assembly 50 further includes a mounting base 55, and the end of the elastic member 53 away from the connecting rod 54 is connected to the mounting base 55 and fixed to the inner liner 11 by the mounting base 55.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the end of the first abutment portion 511 furthest from the rotation axis is set as an arc-shaped surface to reduce contact wear with the abutment member 52.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the end face of the second abutment portion 512 that contacts the abutment member 52 is set as an arc-shaped curved surface to reduce wear and tear from contact with the abutment member 52.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the surface of the abutting member 52 that abuts against the rotating member 51 is set as a plane to ensure the reliability of the abutment.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, at least one of the heating element 20 and the transmission assembly 50 is provided with a connecting baffle 23. The connecting baffle 23 passes through the clearance opening 103 and is connected to the other. The connecting baffle 23 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 11 and can abut against the inner walls of the clearance opening 103 on both sides along the depth direction of the inner liner 11. During the movement of the heating element 20 driven by the movable seat, the connecting baffle 23 forms a limiting abutment with the inner wall of the clearance opening 103 to limit the travel of the heating element 20. In practical applications, the travel of the heating element 20 should be set according to the depth of the inner liner 11 or the size of the baking pan 31, and the length of the connecting baffle 23 should be set accordingly. For example, the heating element 20 is provided with a connecting baffle 23.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, along the height direction of the inner liner 11, the abutment 52 is connected above the connecting baffle 23 to facilitate the abutment 52 and the rotating member 51.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, along the height direction of the inner liner 11, the rotating member 51 is disposed above the connecting baffle 23 and spaced apart from the connecting baffle 23, so as to avoid the rotating member 51 interfering with the movement of the connecting baffle 23 and promote the smooth movement of the connecting baffle 23.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, one of the heating element 20 and the inner liner 11 is provided with a first sliding groove 211 extending along the depth direction of the inner liner 11, and the other is provided with a first sliding portion 111 slidably connected to the groove wall of the first sliding groove 211. Thus, the groove wall of the first sliding groove 211 guides the first sliding portion 111, thereby facilitating the guidance of the movement of the heating element 20 relative to the inner liner 11 and promoting the smooth movement of the heating element 20 along the depth direction of the inner liner 11.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the inner liner 11 is provided with a first sliding groove 211, and the heating element 20 is provided with a first sliding part 111. The first sliding groove 211 and the first sliding part 111 are respectively provided to gradually narrow from the top of the inner liner 11 toward the baking pan 31 along the height direction of the inner liner 11. The groove wall of the first sliding groove 211 and the surface of the first sliding part 111 abut against each other. The first sliding groove 211 forms an inclined side wall to limit the first sliding part 111 along the height direction, so that the heating element 20 will not fall downward.

[0045] like Figure 4As shown, in another specific embodiment, the heating element 20 is provided with a first sliding groove 211, and the inner liner 11 is provided with a first sliding part 111. The first sliding groove 211 and the first sliding part 111 are respectively arranged to gradually expand from the top of the inner liner 11 toward the baking pan 31 along the height direction of the inner liner 11. The groove wall of the first sliding groove 211 and the surface of the first sliding part 111 abut against each other. The first sliding groove 211 forms an inclined side wall to limit the first sliding part 111 along the height direction, so that the heating element 20 will not fall downward.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the heating element 20 includes a heating plate 21 and a heating tube 22. The heating tube 22 is installed inside the heating plate 21, and the heating plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner liner 11. The arrangement of the heating plate 21 facilitates the even outward dissipation of heat from the heating tube 22, and also helps protect the heating tube 22, reducing potential collisions during use. Furthermore, the flat surface of the heating plate 21 makes cleaning easier, reducing the formation of dirt-prone areas, improving cleaning speed, and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the heating tube 22 is arranged to reciprocate along the first direction or along the depth direction of the inner liner 11, which facilitates the arrangement of a longer heating tube 22 and improves the heating efficiency.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the steam oven 100 includes a linkage arm 60, which connects the heating element 20 and the baking tray assembly 30, and is located near the side wall of the inner cavity 11. Along a first direction, at least one side of the baking tray 31 is provided with the linkage arm 60, thus transmitting power from the heating element 20 to the baking tray assembly 30 via the linkage arm 60, thereby causing the baking tray assembly 30 to move synchronously with the heating element 20. Simultaneously, along the depth direction of the inner cavity 11, the side of the baking tray 31 furthest from the opening 102 is provided with the linkage arm 60 to reduce interference and improve aesthetics.

[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the linkage arm 60 includes a first arm body 61 and a second arm body 62. The first arm body 61 is connected to the second arm body 62. The first arm body 61 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 11 and is connected to the heating element 20. The second arm body 62 extends along the height direction of the inner liner 11 and is connected to the baking tray assembly 30, thereby realizing the connection between the heating element 20 and the baking tray assembly 30, which is conducive to the stable transmission of force, and thus stably drives the synchronous movement of the baking tray assembly 30 and the heating element 20.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in a specific embodiment, the inner pot assembly 10 includes a support frame 12 installed on the side wall of the inner pot 11. The support frame 12 is slidably connected to the baking pan assembly 30. The support frame 12 provides support for the sliding of the baking pan assembly 30, thereby reducing the impact on the inner wall of the inner pot 11.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, one of the baking pan assembly 30 and the support frame 12 is provided with a sliding track 121 extending along the depth direction of the inner pot 11, and the other is provided with a second sliding part 321 slidably connected to the sliding track 121. Thus, the sliding track 121 guides the movement of the second sliding part 321, thereby guiding the movement of the baking pan assembly 30 relative to the inner pot 11 and promoting smooth movement of the baking pan assembly 30 along the depth direction of the inner pot 11. For example, the sliding track 121 is provided on the baking pan assembly 30, and the second sliding part 321 is provided on the support frame 12; or, the sliding track 121 is provided on the support frame 12, and the second sliding part 321 is provided on the baking pan assembly 30.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the sliding rail 121 is provided on the support frame 12, and the support frame 12 is provided with a plurality of support rods spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 11. The support rods extend along the depth direction of the inner liner 11, and the sliding rail 121 is installed on the support rods to support the sliding rail 121.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the baking tray assembly 30 also includes a support member 32 for supporting the baking tray 31, making it easy to pick up the baking tray 31; the support member 32 is slidably connected to the support frame 12 and also connected to the linkage arm 60. The support member 32 plays a supporting role while also playing a sliding connection role, which can drive the baking tray 31 to move synchronously, so that the baking tray 31 does not need to be modified, thus reducing production costs.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the steam oven 100 also includes a door 70, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity 11. When the baking tray 31 and the heating element 20 are moved out of the inner cavity 11 at the same time, the baking tray 31 and the heating element 20 can push the door 70 to open at the same time, realizing the automatic opening of the door 70. When the baking tray 31 and the heating element 20 are moved into the inner cavity 11 at the same time, the door 70 can be manually closed after the baking tray 31 and the heating element 20 are completely located in the cooking cavity 101. The operation is simple.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the steam oven 100 can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the steam oven 100 to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the steam oven 100 and improving the user experience.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0057] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
