Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more particularly to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ovens have become a common appliance in modern kitchens due to their multifunctionality. To meet the baking needs of ingredients such as whole chickens and large pieces of meat, the size of the cooking cavity has been continuously increased. They are usually equipped with a rotating roasting fork. One end of the rotating roasting fork is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor located on the rear wall of the cooking cavity. The drive shaft can rotate around its own axis. The other end is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the cooking cavity. In this way, the drive motor can drive the rotating roasting fork through the drive shaft to ensure that the food is heated evenly.

[0003] However, since steam ovens are usually embedded under the countertop, users have to crouch or bend over to find the drive shaft when disassembling or assembling the rotisserie fork, which makes disassembling and assembling the rotisserie fork inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a cooking device to solve the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the rotating roasting fork and improve the convenience of user operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0006] This application provides a cooking device, including:

[0007] The equipment body has an inner liner with an open front side, the interior of which has a cooking cavity, and the inner liner has a first side wall and a second side wall arranged opposite to each other, with an overlapping part on the side of the second side wall of the inner liner facing the cooking cavity;

[0008] A drive motor is installed on the side of the first sidewall away from the cooking cavity. The drive motor has a drive shaft that rotates about its own axis. The first end of the drive shaft extends into the cooking cavity and has a first insertion portion. A first limiting structure is formed on the first insertion portion.

[0009] A rotating roasting fork is disposed inside the cooking cavity. The first end of the rotating roasting fork has a second insertion part that is adapted to the first insertion part, and the second insertion part has a second limiting structure.

[0010] The first end of the rotating roasting fork is engaged with the first insertion part through the second insertion part. At least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure has an elastic structure. Under the action of the elastic structure, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure always have a tendency to move closer to each other and can partially abut against each other in the insertion direction of the first insertion part and the second insertion part, thereby restricting the second insertion part from coming out of the first insertion part.

[0011] In the cooking device provided in this application embodiment, by setting the drive motor on the outer side of the first sidewall of the inner pot, the drive shaft of the drive motor extends into the cooking cavity, and the drive shaft is inserted and engaged with the second insertion part of the first end of the rotating roast fork through the first insertion part. The second end of the rotating roast fork overlaps on the overlapping position on the inner wall surface of the inner pot. Compared with installing the drive motor on the rear sidewall of the inner pot, the user does not need to lean over to connect the rotating roast fork with the drive shaft of the drive motor, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the rotating roast fork; in addition, the first insertion part is shaped as follows: The device has a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure on the second insertion part. At least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure has an elastic structure. Under the action of the elastic structure, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure always have a tendency to move closer to each other and can partially abut against each other in the insertion direction of the first insertion part and the second insertion part, thereby restricting the second insertion part from coming out of the first insertion part. This can prevent the risk of the rotating roast fork and the drive shaft falling off each other during rotation. At the same time, it simplifies the structure of the rotating roast fork and the inner liner and reduces costs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first plug portion is one of a polygonal plug shaft and a polygonal plug hole, and the second plug portion is the other of a polygonal plug shaft and a polygonal plug hole.

[0013] In this way, while ensuring the reliability of the drive shaft in rotating the roasting fork, the structure is simple, improving the convenience of user operation and reducing costs.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure is one of a slot and an elastic buckle, and the second limiting structure is the other of a slot and an elastic buckle, wherein the elastic buckle is formed as the elastic structure.

[0015] In this way, the axial positioning of the rotating roasting fork is satisfied while maintaining a simple structure and low cost.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first insertion part is a polygonal insertion hole, the second insertion part is a polygonal insertion shaft, the first limiting structure is a slot formed on the wall of the polygonal insertion hole, the polygonal insertion shaft has an installation groove, and the second limiting structure is an elastic buckle installed in the installation groove.

[0017] This improves the installation reliability of the elastic buckle, thereby improving the reliability of axial positioning of the rotating roasting fork.

[0018] In some embodiments, the elastic buckle includes an elastic part and a buckling part. The elastic part is connected between the buckling part and the bottom of the mounting groove. The buckling part engages with the groove under the elastic force of the elastic part, or disengages from the groove under the action of an external force.

[0019] In this way, disassembly can be achieved by pressing the elastic buckle, and the buckle part can be locked into the corresponding slot under the elastic force of the elastic part itself, without manual operation, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the first and second limiting structures.

[0020] In some embodiments, the resilient snap-fit ​​further includes a mounting base whose outer contour matches the contour of the mounting groove. The mounting base has a mounting space with a top opening. Both the resilient portion and the snap-fit ​​portion are located within the mounting space, with the resilient portion located between the bottom wall of the mounting space and the snap-fit ​​portion. The mounting base is configured to be located within the mounting groove and to engage with the mounting groove.

[0021] In this way, the snap-fit ​​part and the elastic part are installed in the mounting base to form a whole before being installed in the mounting groove, which improves the convenience of installing the elastic snap-fit ​​in the mounting groove.

[0022] In some embodiments, the latching portion is a spherical structure; and / or,

[0023] The elastic part is a spring.

[0024] In this way, while ensuring the reliability of the limit switch, the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first end of the drive shaft has a first bushing, and the first insertion portion is disposed on the first bushing.

[0026] This increases the torsional strength between the drive shaft and the rotating grill rod, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the drive shaft in rotating the grill rod.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second end of the rotating fork has a rotatable portion that rotatably overlaps the overlapping position.

[0028] This reduces wear between the second end of the swivel fork and the overlapping area, extending the lifespan of the swivel fork.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second sidewall has a boss on the side facing the cooking cavity, and the boss has a groove, which forms the overlapping position.

[0030] In this way, the groove walls on both sides of the groove can limit the second end of the rotating roasting fork in the front-back direction of the inner pot, so as to prevent the second end of the rotating roasting fork from displacing in the front-back direction.

[0031] In some embodiments, the cooking device further includes a first shelf and a second shelf, the first shelf and the second shelf being located within the cooking cavity and disposed opposite to each other, the first shelf being connected to the first side wall and the second shelf being connected to the second side wall, the second shelf having a downwardly bent groove forming the overlapping position.

[0032] In this way, there is no need to set an additional overlapping position on the inner pot. Instead, the second end of the rotating fork is directly overlapped on the overlapping position of the second shelf to prevent the second end of the rotating fork from shifting in the front-back direction. This simplifies the structure of the inner pot and reduces costs.

[0033] In addition to the technical problems solved by the embodiments of this application, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions described above, other technical problems that can be solved by the cooking equipment provided by the embodiments of this application, other technical features included in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by these technical features will be further explained in detail in the specific implementation.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0051] This application provides a cooking device, including but not limited to ovens, steam ovens, and microwave-steam-oven combos. For example, taking a steam oven as an example, some steam ovens provide a rotisserie function. However, as the space inside the cooking cavity of the product continues to increase, and some steam ovens are usually embedded in cabinets at a height close to the ground, in order to bake larger foods (such as whole chickens, large pieces of meat, etc.), steam ovens are usually equipped with a rotisserie fork. One end of the rotisserie fork is inserted into the drive shaft of the drive motor on the rear wall of the cooking cavity, and the other end is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the cooking cavity. In this way, the user needs to squat or lie down to find the position of the drive shaft, which leads to the problem of inconvenience in disassembling and assembling the rotisserie fork.

[0052] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this application provides a cooking device that aims to solve the problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly of the rotating roasting fork, thereby improving the convenience of user operation and enhancing the user's operating experience. At the same time, it simplifies the device structure and reduces the device cost.

[0053] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooking device 10 provided in this application embodiment includes a device body 100, the device body 100 has an inner pot 110 with an open front side, the inner pot 110 has a cooking cavity inside, and the inner pot 110 has a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 disposed opposite to each other; for example, with the user standing on the front side of the device body 100 (i.e. the side with the open inner pot 110), the first side wall 111 of the inner pot 110 is on the user's left side, and the second side wall 112 of the inner pot 110 is on the user's right side.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the cooking device 10 provided in this embodiment of the application further includes a drive motor 200 and a rotisserie fork 300. The drive motor 200 is installed on the side of the first sidewall 111 of the inner pot 110 away from the cooking cavity, that is, the drive motor 200 is located on the outside of the inner pot 110 to prevent the high temperature in the cooking cavity from affecting the service life of the drive motor 200. The drive motor 200 has a drive shaft 210 that rotates around its own axis. The first end of the drive shaft 210 extends into the cooking cavity, and the first end of the drive shaft 210 has a first insertion portion 221. A first limiting structure 2211 is formed on the first insertion portion 221. The rotisserie fork 300 is disposed in the cooking cavity. The rotisserie fork 300 is used to fix the food to be cooked, such as chicken, duck, or meat pieces. The first end of the rotisserie fork 300 has a second insertion portion 221 that is adapted to the first insertion portion 221. The second insertion part 310 has a second limiting structure 311, and the second side wall 112 of the inner liner 110 has an overlapping position. The first end of the rotating roasting fork 300 is inserted and engaged with the first insertion part 221 through the second insertion part 310. At least one of the first limiting structure 2211 and the second limiting structure 311 has an elastic structure. Under the action of the elastic structure, the first limiting structure 2211 and the second limiting structure 311 always have a tendency to move closer to each other and can partially abut against each other in the insertion (interlocking) direction of the first insertion part 221 and the second insertion part 310, thereby restricting the second insertion part 310 from dislodging from the first insertion part 221. This achieves the limiting of the rotating roasting fork 300 in its axial direction and prevents the rotating roasting fork from falling off the drive shaft during rotation.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first end of the drive shaft 210 has a first bushing 220, and the first insertion part 221 is disposed on the first bushing 220. In this way, the torsional strength between the drive shaft 210 and the rotating roasting rod can be improved, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the drive shaft 210 driving the rotating roasting rod to rotate.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 has a rotating part 320, which is rotatably connected to the overlapping position. For example, the rotating part 320 at the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 is a rotating shaft with a circular cross section. In this way, the wear between the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 and the overlapping position can be reduced, and the service life of the rotating roasting fork 300 can be extended.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second sidewall 112 has a boss on the side facing the cooking cavity, and a groove on the boss. The groove is formed as an overlapping part, and the groove is, for example, an arc-shaped groove that matches the rotating shaft. In this way, the groove can limit the second end of the rotating fork 300 in the front-back direction of the inner liner 110 relative to the groove walls on both sides, so as to prevent the second end of the rotating fork 300 from being displaced in the front-back direction.

[0059] Additionally, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooking device 10 also includes a first shelf 113 and a second shelf 114. The first shelf 113 and the second shelf 114 are located inside the cooking cavity and are arranged opposite to each other. The first shelf 113 is connected to the first side wall 111, and the second shelf 114 is connected to the second side wall 112. When the baking pan 400 for holding food is placed inside the cooking cavity, the two sides of the baking pan 400 overlap the first shelf 113 and the second shelf 114 to support the baking pan 400. The second shelf 114 may be provided with a downward bending groove 1141. 41. For example, if the groove is arc-shaped, the bending groove 1141 is formed as an overlapping position. The second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 can overlap in the bending groove 1141 so as to limit the displacement of the rotating roasting fork 300 in the front-back direction of the inner pot 110 by passing through the groove wall of the bending groove 1141. In this way, there is no need to set an additional overlapping position on the inner pot 110. Instead, the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 is directly overlapped on the overlapping position of the second shelf 114 to prevent the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 from displacing in the front-back direction. This simplifies the structure of the inner pot 110 and reduces the cost.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first plug-in portion 221 is one of a polygonal plug-in shaft and a polygonal plug-in hole, and the second plug-in portion 310 is the other of a polygonal plug-in shaft and a polygonal plug-in hole. For example, the second plug-in portion 310 is a quadrilateral plug-in shaft, and the first plug-in portion 221 is a quadrilateral plug-in hole. In this way, while ensuring the reliability of the drive shaft 210 in driving the rotating roast fork 300 to rotate, the structure is simple, improving the convenience of user operation and reducing costs.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first insertion part 221 is a polygonal insertion hole, and the second insertion part 310 is a polygonal insertion shaft. In this way, the rotating roasting fork 300 is inserted into the polygonal insertion hole through the polygonal insertion shaft. Thus, when the drive shaft 210 rotates around its own axis, it can drive the rotating roasting fork 300 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating roasting fork 300 to rotate and roast the food fixed on it.

[0062] In addition, the first limiting structure 2211 is one of a slot and an elastic buckle, and the second limiting structure 311 is the other of a slot and an elastic buckle. The elastic buckle is formed as an elastic structure. In this way, while satisfying the axial limiting of the rotating roasting fork 300, the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting structure 2211 is a slot, and the second limiting structure 311 is an elastic buckle. That is, the drive shaft 210 has a polygonal insertion hole, and the wall of the polygonal insertion hole has a slot. The first end of the rotating roast fork 300 has a polygonal insertion shaft, and the polygonal insertion shaft is provided with an elastic buckle. When the polygonal insertion shaft and the polygonal insertion hole cooperate with each other, the elastic buckle is engaged in the slot. In this way, the axial displacement of the rotating roast fork 300 can be restricted to prevent the rotating roast fork 300 from disengaging from the drive shaft 210, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the drive shaft 210 and the rotating roast fork 300.

[0064] In addition, the lap joint can be one of the following: lap rod, lap boss, lap groove, etc., as long as it can support the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300. There is no need to set a specific complex structure on the inner liner 110, thereby reducing costs.

[0065] Therefore, the cooking device 10 provided in this application embodiment, by setting the drive motor 200 on the outside of the first side wall 111 of the inner pot 110, with the drive shaft 210 of the drive motor 200 extending into the cooking cavity, and the drive shaft 210 being connected to the second insertion part 310 of the first end of the rotating roasting fork 300 through the first insertion part 221, and the second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 overlapping on the overlapping position on the inner wall surface of the inner pot 110, compared to installing the drive motor 200 on the rear side wall of the inner pot 110, eliminates the need for the user to lean over to make the rotating roasting fork 300 engage with the drive motor 200. The rotating roasting fork 300 is connected to the drive shaft 210 of the motor 200, thereby improving the ease of assembly and disassembly. In addition, the rotating roasting fork 300 and the drive shaft 210 are connected by a first limiting structure 2211 and a second limiting structure 311 to limit the displacement of the rotating roasting fork 300 along its axial direction. The second end of the rotating roasting fork 300 only needs to be placed on the overlapping position of the inner pot 110, which can prevent the risk of the rotating roasting fork 300 and the drive shaft 210 falling off each other during rotation. At the same time, the structure of the rotating roasting fork 300 and the inner pot 110 are simplified, and the cost is reduced.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the first insertion part 221 is a polygonal insertion hole, the second insertion part 310 is a polygonal insertion shaft, the first limiting structure 2211 is a slot formed on the hole wall of the polygonal insertion hole, and the second limiting structure 311 is an elastic buckle, the polygonal insertion shaft also has a mounting groove 312, and the elastic buckle is installed in the mounting groove 312 to limit the circumferential movement of the elastic buckle, thereby improving the positional accuracy and reliability of the elastic buckle, and further improving the reliability of the interlocking between the elastic buckle and the slot, thereby improving the reliability of the axial limiting of the rotating roast fork 300.

[0067] Of course, when the elastic buckle is set on the wall of the polygonal insertion hole and the slot is set on the polygonal insertion shaft, the polygonal insertion hole can also be provided with an installation groove 312, and the elastic buckle is installed in the installation groove 312 to position and limit the elastic buckle in the circumferential direction.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the elastic buckle includes an elastic part 3111 and a buckle part 3112. The elastic part 3111 is connected between the buckle part 3112 and the bottom of the mounting groove 312. The buckle part 3112 engages with the groove under the elastic force of the elastic part 3111, or disengages from the groove under external force. Thus, the buckle can be disassembled by pressing it, and the buckle part 3112 can be locked into the corresponding groove under the elastic force of the elastic part 3111 itself, without manual operation, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the first limiting structure 2211 and the second limiting structure 311.

[0069] For example, the snap-fit ​​part 3112 is a spherical structure; the elastic part 3111 is a spring, for example, the elastic part 3111 is a spring with a cylindrical or frustum-shaped profile. In this way, the spherical snap-fit ​​part 3112 is placed directly on the elastic part 3111, and the spring supports the bottom of the spherical snap-fit. When the snap-fit ​​part 3112 is a spherical structure, the slot is a spherical groove that matches the spherical snap-fit ​​part 3112. When the spherical snap-fit ​​part 3112 is snapped into the slot, the elastic part 3111 uses its own elasticity to make the snap-fit ​​part 3112 abut against the slot, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​reliability and stability between the snap-fit ​​part 3112 and the slot. Moreover, the structure of the elastic snap-fit ​​is simple, thereby reducing the overall cost of the equipment.

[0070] When it is necessary to remove the rotating roasting fork 300, simply apply a pulling force along the axial direction of the rotating roasting fork 300. The latching part 3112 will be squeezed by the wall of the latching hole and move towards the end closer to the elastic part 3111 until it is dislodged from the slot, thereby realizing the disassembly between the rotating roasting fork 300 and the drive shaft 210. The disassembly method is simple and does not require additional disassembly tools, which improves the convenience of disassembly.

[0071] To further improve the ease of installation of the elastic buckle, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the elastic buckle also includes a mounting base 3113. The outer contour of the mounting base 3113 matches the contour of the mounting groove 312. The mounting base 3113 has a mounting space with a top opening. Both the elastic part 3111 and the buckling part 3112 are located within the mounting space. The elastic part 3111 is located between the bottom wall of the mounting space and the buckling part 3112. The mounting base 3113 is configured to be located within the mounting groove 312 and cooperate with the mounting groove 312. In this way, after the buckling part 3112 and the elastic part 3111 are installed in the mounting base 3113 to form a whole, they are then installed in the mounting groove 312, which improves the convenience of installing the elastic buckle in the mounting groove 312.

[0072] For example, the cross-section of the mounting groove 312 is circular, and the cross-section of the mounting base 3113 is a circle that matches the mounting groove 312. The mounting base 3113 has an installation space with an open top. The elastic part 3111 and the snap-fit ​​part 3112 are both installed in the installation space. In this way, the elastic snap-fit ​​is formed as a whole. The snap-fit ​​part 3112 protrudes from the top of the mounting base 3113 and can move up and down under the action of external force and the elastic force of the elastic part 3111 itself to engage or disengage with the slot. In addition, the mounting base 3113 can circumferentially limit the peripheral wall of the snap-fit ​​part 3112, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​part 3112 from falling off the elastic part 3111, thereby further improving the positional accuracy and stability of the snap-fit ​​part 3112, and thus improving the engagement reliability between the snap-fit ​​part 3112 and the slot.
