[0022] A multifunctional cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing assembly 100, a track 110 provided on the side of the housing assembly 100, an opening 120 for placing or removing food provided on the top surface of the housing assembly 100, and a first cavity 130 communicating with the opening 120 inside the housing assembly 100; and a grill assembly 200, including a grill unit 210 and a pop-out unit 220, the grill unit 210 being provided with a channel 2111 for the vertical movement of the pop-out unit 220. The channel 2111 extends from the bottom to the top of the grill unit 210; the grill unit 210 is detachably connected to the opening 120, and the grill unit 210 is located inside the first cavity 130; the pop-out unit 220 passes through the track 110 and is located inside the first cavity 130, and the pop-out unit 220 is slidably connected to the track 110; the frying basket assembly 300 is detachably connected to the opening 120 and is located inside the first cavity 130; the heating element 400 is connected to the housing assembly 100.

[0023] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, when a user needs to heat a slice of bread, the grill unit 210 is inserted into the first cavity 130 through the opening 120, and then the bread slice is placed into the grill unit 210. Since the pop-out unit 220 is located inside or below the channel 2111 of the grill unit 210, the bottom of the bread slice contacts the top of the pop-out unit 220, thus clamping the plate between the grill unit 210 and the pop-out unit 220. Next, the pop-out unit 220 is pressed down along the track 110. At the bottom, the pop-out unit 220 moves vertically downward along the channel 2111, allowing the bread slice to be completely placed into the first cavity 130. Then, the heating component 400 is activated to facilitate heating and toasting the bread slice. After the bread slice is heated, the pop-out unit 220 moves upward along the track 110. At the same time, the pop-out unit 220 moves vertically upward along the channel 2111, popping out the bread slice so that it protrudes outside the housing component 100 for easy handling by the user, achieving the effect of a toaster.

[0024] When a user needs to bake food, the food must first be placed into the frying basket assembly 300, and then the frying basket assembly 300 is placed into the first cavity 130 through the opening 120. Then the heating assembly 400 is activated to facilitate baking of the food and achieve the effect of an air fryer.

[0025] Therefore, by placing the grill unit 210 or the frying basket assembly 300 into the first cavity 130, the effect of a toaster or air fryer can be achieved, thereby improving the functionality of the cooking device, meeting the diverse needs of users, reducing purchase costs, and increasing the utilization of kitchen space.

[0026] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the grill unit 210 includes a wire mesh frame 211, a connecting rod 212 and a first handle 213. The top end of the wire mesh frame 211 is connected to the connecting rod 212, one end of the connecting rod 212 is connected to the first handle 213, and the first handle 213 abuts against the top surface of the housing assembly 100.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the mesh frame 211 is placed into the first cavity 130 through the opening 120, the first handle 213 is located outside the first cavity 130, and under the gravity of the mesh frame 211, the bottom of the first handle 213 abuts against the top surface of the housing assembly 100, thereby making the mesh frame 211 stably placed in the first cavity 130.

[0028] The wire mesh frame 211 can improve the heat transfer efficiency of the heating component, so that heat can be directly transferred to the bread slice through the wire mesh frame 211, thereby increasing the heating speed of the bread slice; the connecting rod 212 facilitates the connection between the first handle 213 and the wire mesh frame 211, while the first handle 213 facilitates the user to pick up the wire mesh frame 211, thereby improving the moving efficiency of the wire mesh frame 211. At the same time, the first handle 213 can also be used for heat insulation to prevent the user from being burned by direct contact with the wire mesh frame 211.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the grill unit 210 further includes a support member 214, which is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 212, and the support member 214 abuts against the top surface of the housing assembly 100.

[0030] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the mesh frame 211 is inserted into the first cavity 130 through the opening 120, the top surface of the housing assembly 100 abuts against the bottom of the first handle 213 and the bottom of the support member 214 respectively. By making the connection height of the connecting rod 212 equal to that of the first handle 213 and the support member 214, the mesh frame 211 can be in a vertical state, thereby making the position of the mesh frame 211 in the first cavity 130 more stable.

[0031] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the pop-out unit 220 includes a button 221, an elastic module and a bracket 222. The button 221 is slidably connected to the track 110 and connected to the bracket 222. The elastic module is connected to the housing assembly 100 and the button 221 respectively.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 222 is used to support the bread slice, and the elastic module is used to pop up the bread slice on the bracket 222. Specifically, when the bread slice needs to be heated, the button 221 slides down along the track 110 to the bottom. At this time, the button 221 can drive the elastic module and the bracket 222 to move downward, so that the elastic module is in an elastic deformation state. After the bread slice is heated, the elastic module has the tendency to return to its original shape. Therefore, under the action of the elastic module, the button 221 and the bracket 222 can be driven upward, so that the bread slice is popped out, making it easy for the user to pick up, thus achieving the effect of a toaster.

[0033] The flexible module is a conventional technology in the toaster field, and will not be described in this embodiment. Moreover, the structure of the flexible module is not limited, as long as it can enable the upward movement of the button 221 and the bracket 222.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the frying basket assembly 300 includes a baking pan 310, a second handle 320 and a sealing plate 330. The sealing plate 330 is connected to the baking pan 310 and the second handle 320 respectively. The baking pan 310 is located in the first cavity 130, and the sealing plate 330 is connected to the opening 120.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, when a user needs to bake food, the food is first placed into the baking pan 310, and then the baking pan 310 is placed into the first cavity 130 through the opening 120. At this time, the sealing plate 330 is connected to the opening 120, making the first cavity 130 a sealed space, which is beneficial for the heating element 400 to bake the food, thus achieving the effect of an air fryer. When the food is baked, the user can remove the baking pan 310 through the second handle 320, thereby improving the moving efficiency of the baking pan 310. At the same time, the second handle 320 can also be used for heat insulation to prevent the user from being burned by direct contact with the sealing plate 330. The connection between the sealing plate 330 and the opening 120 can be set as a contact-fit connection or a detachable connection such as a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the heating component 400 includes a heating tube 410 and a blowing unit 420. The housing component 100 is provided with a second cavity 140 that communicates with the first cavity 130. The heating tube 410 is connected to the first cavity 130, and the blowing unit 420 is connected to the second cavity 140.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 410 is located inside the first cavity 130, which is beneficial for directly baking bread slices or food and improves the heat transfer efficiency. The blower unit 420, due to its large size, is located inside the second cavity 140, which is beneficial for increasing the food capacity of the first cavity 130. In addition, the blower unit 420 can accelerate the circulation of hot air in the first cavity 130, thereby heating and baking the food with hot air and realizing the air fryer function.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a through hole 150 is provided on the housing assembly 100, and the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 are connected through the through hole 150.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, since the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 belong to two different spaces, by connecting the two spaces with the through hole 150, it is beneficial for the blowing unit 420 to form an airflow in the second cavity 140 and blow it into the first cavity 130 to accelerate the circulation of hot air in the first cavity 130.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the blower unit 420 includes a motor 421 and a fan 422, with the motor 421 connected to the fan 422 and the second cavity 140 respectively.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the motor 421 can drive the fan 422 to rotate, thereby forming an airflow that can be blown into the first cavity 130 to accelerate the circulation of hot air. The overall structure is simple and the transmission efficiency is high.

[0042] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the blower unit 420 further includes a cover 423, which is connected to the second cavity 140 facing the through hole 150. The fan 422 is located inside the cover 423, and the motor 421 is connected to the outside of the cover 423.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, since the inside of the cover 423 completely covers the through hole 150, a space with a smaller volume is formed between the inside of the cover 423 and the second cavity 140. This is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the fan 422 in stirring the airflow in this space, thereby making the kinetic energy of the airflow blown into the first cavity 130 stronger, and thus improving the efficiency of hot air circulation.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a first pad 160 is provided at the bottom of the housing assembly 100, and a second pad 170 is provided at the rear of the housing assembly 100.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, when a user needs to heat a slice of bread, the housing assembly 100 is placed upright by the first pad 160, so that the opening 120 faces upward, so that the bread slice can be inserted.

[0046] Since the number of bread slices heated is generally two or more, the first housing is typically designed to be longer and shorter. In this case, to increase the capacity of the food being baked when using the air fryer function, the rear of the housing assembly 100 is positioned towards the table via the second pad 170, causing the opening 120 to face the side. This allows the basket assembly 300 to be inserted horizontally into the first cavity 130. This placement effectively increases the contact area between the basket assembly 300 and the hot air inside the first cavity 130, thereby improving the baking efficiency of the food.

[0047] It is evident that the first pad 160 and the second pad 170 help prevent the housing assembly 100 from directly contacting the tabletop, while also providing heat insulation and better protecting the first housing.

[0048] Other components and operations of the multifunctional cooking apparatus according to the embodiments of this utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
