DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0045] The cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , according to the cooking device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the cooking device 100 includes: a shell 90 , an inner pot 10 , a heating assembly 40 , a first fan assembly 20 , and a second fan assembly 33 .

[0047] The housing 90 has an air inlet 93 and an air outlet 91 . Air outside the housing 90 enters the housing 90 through the air inlet 93 , and air inside the housing 90 is discharged from the housing 90 through the air outlet 91 .

[0048] The inner pot 10 is arranged in the shell 90, and the inner pot 10 has a cooking space 11, which is connected to the air outlet 91. An air flow channel 99 is provided between the outer wall of the shell 90 and the inner pot 10, and the air flow channel 99 is respectively connected to the air inlet 93 and the air outlet 91. The cooking space 11 is provided with a first air inlet hole 111, and the first air inlet hole 111 is connected to the air flow channel 99.

[0049] The heating component 40 is disposed in the inner pot 10 and is used to heat the food in the cooking space 11 .

[0050] Among them, the air outside the cooking space 11 enters the cooking space 11 through the first air inlet 111, the cooking space 11 is connected to the air outlet 91, and the air in the cooking space 11 can be discharged outside the shell 90. It can be understood that the air discharged outside the shell 90 takes away some water vapor and heat.

[0051] It should be noted that if the cooking equipment is to cook the ingredients well, the temperature and humidity in the cooking space need to be maintained within a certain range. Excessively high temperature and humidity will also result in poor cooking results. Therefore, in this application, the air discharged outside the shell 90 takes away some water vapor and heat, thereby keeping the temperature and humidity in the cooking space 11 within a certain range, thereby improving the cooking effect.

[0052] The first fan assembly 20 is provided in the inner container 10 to disturb the air in the cooking space 11. By providing the first fan assembly 20 to disturb the air in the cooking space 11, the air flow discharged to the outside of the housing 90 is increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0053] The second fan assembly 33 is disposed in the air flow passage 99 and disturbs the air in the air flow passage 99. By disposing the second fan assembly 33 to disturb the air in the air flow passage 99, more air enters the cooking space 11 and a larger air flow is discharged outside the housing 90, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0054] In the related art, the air in the oven naturally flows to the outside of the oven, and the heat dissipation effect is poor. The present application adds a first air inlet hole 111, so that more air enters the cooking space 11, and the air flow discharged to the outside of the shell 90 is larger, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the first fan assembly 20 and the second fan assembly 33 are provided to fully disturb the air, and the air flow discharged to the outside of the shell 90 is larger, further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0055] According to the cooking device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first air inlet 111, more air enters the cooking space 11, and the flow rate of air discharged outside the shell 90 is larger, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the first fan assembly 20 and the second fan assembly 33 are set to fully disturb the air, and the flow rate of air discharged outside the shell 90 is larger, further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0056] Specifically, the cooking device 100 is any one of an air fryer, a microwave oven, and an oven.

[0057] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, in some embodiments, the inner container 10 is provided with a first air outlet 162, which connects the cooking space 11 to the air outlet 91. The first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 are located on different sidewalls of the inner container 10. By locating the first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 on different sidewalls of the inner container 10, the air flow path is increased, allowing more water vapor and heat to be discharged. The first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 can be located on adjacent sidewalls of the inner container 10, or on opposing sidewalls.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in some specific embodiments, the first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 are disposed on adjacent side walls of the inner liner 10. By disposing the first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 on adjacent side walls of the inner liner 10, the air flow path is increased, thereby discharging more water vapor and heat.

[0059] For example, the first air inlet 111 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the left wall of the inner liner 10; or, the first air inlet 111 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the right wall of the inner liner 10; or, the first air inlet 111 is set on the left wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10; or, the first air inlet 111 is set on the right wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10; or, the first air inlet 111 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10; or Alternatively, the first air inlet 111 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the left wall of the inner liner 10; alternatively, the first air inlet 111 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the right wall of the inner liner 10; alternatively, the first air inlet 111 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10; alternatively, the first air inlet 111 is set on the left wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10; alternatively, the first air inlet 111 is set on the right wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the upper wall of the inner liner 10.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 are disposed on opposite sidewalls of the inner liner 10. By disposing the first air outlet 162 and the first air inlet 111 on opposite sidewalls of the inner liner 10, the air flow path is increased, thereby discharging more water vapor and heat.

[0061] For example, the first air inlet 111 is set on the rear wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the front wall of the inner liner 10; or, the first air inlet 111 is set on the left wall of the inner liner 10, and the first air outlet 162 is set on the right wall of the inner liner 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inner liner 10 is provided with a side panel, the first air outlet 162 is set on the side panel, and a second air guide cover is also provided on the side panel. One end of the space in the second air guide cover is connected to the first air outlet 162, and the other end is connected to the air outlet 91.

[0063] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, specifically, the airflow channel 99 includes a top airflow channel 92, which is located at the top of the inner liner 10 and is connected to the air outlet 91. The inner liner 10 is provided with a fourth air inlet 182 for connecting the top airflow channel 92 and the space inside the second air guide cover.

[0064] For example, the inner container 10 is provided with a top plate 18 , and the fourth air inlet 182 is provided on the top plate 18 .

[0065] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the first fan assembly 20 is disposed in the airflow channel 99. By disposing the first fan assembly 20 in the airflow channel 99, the air flowing in the airflow channel 99 is used to dissipate heat from the first fan assembly 20, thereby improving utilization.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 , in some specific embodiments, the first fan assembly 20 includes: a mounting member 22 , a first fan 32 and a first motor 31 .

[0067] The mounting member 22 is disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner 10 and is located within the airflow channel 99. An air duct space 21 is defined between the mounting member 22 and the inner liner 10. The inner liner 10 is provided with an air inlet area 12 and an air return area 13, each of which is in communication with the air duct space 21. For example, the air inlet area 12 is an area where multiple hole structures are located, and the air return area 13 is an area where multiple hole structures are located.

[0068] The first fan 32 is provided in the air duct space 21. The first fan 32 is provided in the air duct space 21 to disturb the air in the air duct space 21 to form an air flow. The air leaves the air duct space 21 from the air inlet area 12 and enters the inner liner 10. The air leaves the inner liner 10 from the air outlet area and enters the air duct space 21.

[0069] The first motor 31 is disposed outside the air duct space 21 and is connected to the first fan 32 .

[0070] The first motor 31 is connected to the first fan 32 , and the first motor 31 drives the first fan 32 to rotate. At the same time, the first motor 31 is arranged outside the air duct space 21 , and the air flowing in the first air duct dissipates heat for the first motor 31 .

[0071] More specifically, the air duct space 21 is used to guide air from the return air area 13 to the intake air area 12 .

[0072] It can be understood that the first fan 32 in the duct space 21 disturbs the air to form an airflow, and the airflow enters the duct space 21 from the inner tank 10 through the return air area 13. The airflow flows unidirectionally in the duct space 21. The airflow enters the inner tank 10 from the duct space 21 through the air inlet area 12. The airflow flows in the inner tank 10 and then enters the duct space 21 through the return air area 13, forming a unidirectional circulation of the airflow, which makes the heat distribution in the inner tank 10 more balanced and improves the food heating effect.

[0073] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, multiple air inlet areas 12 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. By providing multiple air inlet areas 12, and multiple air inlet areas 12 being arranged in the front-to-back direction, the influence range in the front-to-back direction is expanded.

[0074] For example, two air inlet areas 12 are arranged front to back; or, three air inlet areas 12 are arranged front to back; or, four air inlet areas 12 are arranged front to back.

[0075] In other embodiments, multiple air inlet areas 12 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. By providing multiple air inlet areas 12 and multiple air inlet areas 12 being arranged in the left-right direction, the influence range is expanded in the left-right direction.

[0076] For example, two air inlet areas 12 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction; or, three air inlet areas 12 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction; or, four air inlet areas 12 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction.

[0077] In some embodiments, the opening areas of the multiple air inlet regions 12 are different. By setting the opening areas of the multiple air inlet regions 12 to be different, the air intake volume at different locations in the interior space of the inner container 10 is correspondingly different, adaptively meeting the cooking requirements and improving energy utilization.

[0078] For example, the opening area of ​​the air inlet region 12 near the center of the inner space of the liner 10 is larger than the opening area of ​​the air inlet region 12 away from the center, thereby improving energy utilization.

[0079] As shown in FIG6 , in some embodiments, the opening area of ​​the air inlet region 12 closest to the return air region 13 is the largest. By setting the opening area of ​​the air inlet region 12 closest to the return air region 13 to the largest, most of the heat is fully returned to the interior space of the liner 10, further improving energy utilization.

[0080] For example, the air inlet region 12 is the region where the multiple hole structures are located, and the opening area of ​​the air inlet region 12 is the total area of ​​the multiple hole structures. Setting a larger total area can increase the flow rate.

[0081] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the length of at least one air inlet region 12 extends in the front-to-back direction. By setting the length of at least one air inlet region 12 to extend in the front-to-back direction, the airflow is fully flowed in the front-to-back direction, so that the internal space of the liner 10 is thermally balanced.

[0082] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the air duct space 21 has a first portion 211 and a second portion 212, which are intersectingly arranged. A portion of the air intake area 12 and the return air area 13 are located in the first portion 211, and another portion of the air intake area 12 is located in the second portion 212. By arranging a portion of the air intake area 12 and the return air area 13 in the first portion 211 and another portion of the air intake area 12 in the second portion 212, and by intersecting the first portion 211 and the second portion 212, the airflow is not spatially disturbed in just a straight line, thereby expanding the range of influence.

[0083] As shown in FIG8 and FIG9 , specifically, the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 are perpendicular to each other.

[0084] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the length of the first portion 211 is greater than the length of the second portion 212. By setting the length of the first portion 211 to be greater than the length of the second portion 212, it is fully adapted to different space requirements and improves utilization.

[0085] As shown in Figures 6, 8, and 9, in some embodiments, the front side of the second portion 212 extends to the front of the top wall of the inner liner 10. By extending the front side of the second portion 212 to the front of the top wall of the inner liner 10, the influence range of the second portion 212 is expanded, avoiding airflow dead corners.

[0086] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, in some embodiments, the first fan assembly 20 includes a first fan 32. The first fan 32 is disposed directly opposite the return air region 13 to guide air from the inner liner 10 from the return air region 13 into the air duct space 21. By having the first fan 32 directly facing the return air region 13, the air from the inner liner 10 is guided from the return air region 13 into the air duct space 21, thereby expanding the range of influence of the first fan 32 on the inner liner 10 and fully realizing the effect of the first fan 32.

[0087] Specifically, the first fan 32 is a centrifugal fan, which is arranged relative to the return air area 13. The centrifugal fan draws air from the inner liner 10 to form an airflow, thereby increasing the impact on the inner liner 10. It can be understood that the air inlet end of the centrifugal fan is facing the return air area 13, thereby drawing air from the inner liner 10.

[0088] In other embodiments, the first fan 32 is disposed between the return air area 13 and the air inlet area 12 to guide the air in the inner container 10 from the return air area 13 into the air duct space 21 .

[0089] Specifically, the first fan 32 is an axial flow fan, which is arranged between the return air area 13 and the air inlet area 12 so that the air flow flows unidirectionally in the air duct space 21 and extracts air from the inner tank 10.

[0090] As shown in Figures 1 and 11, in some embodiments, a first motor 31 is connected to a first fan 32 to drive the first fan 32 to rotate. The first fan 32 is located in the subspace 213, and the first motor 31 is located outside the subspace 213. By arranging the first fan 32 in the subspace 213 and the first motor 31 outside the subspace 213, airflow is not affected. Compared with the related art in which the drive motor is arranged in the air duct space and affects the flow of air, the airflow in the subspace 213 of the present application is smoother.

[0091] In some embodiments, the air duct space 21 has an air duct inlet and an air duct outlet. The air duct inlet is connected to the return air area 13, and the air duct outlet is connected to the air inlet area 12. As can be understood, the airflow leaves the inner liner 10 through the return air area 13 and enters the air duct space 21 through the air duct inlet; the airflow exits the air duct space 21 through the air duct outlet and enters the inner liner 10 through the air inlet area 12.

[0092] In some embodiments, the mount 22 is configured as a thermal insulator to further concentrate heat.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, the side wall of the inner container 10 where the mounting member 22 is located is provided with a second air inlet 181, which is in communication with the air flow channel 99. By providing the second air inlet 181 on the side wall of the inner container 10 where the mounting member 22 is located, the airflow flowing in the air flow channel 99 can be used to dissipate heat from the mounting member 22.

[0094] As shown in FIG7 , in some specific embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a first air guide hood 34 disposed on the outer wall of the inner pot 10. An air guide channel 341 is disposed within the first air guide hood 34. The inlet of the air guide channel 341 communicates with the air flow channel 99. The air guide channel 341 communicates with the first air inlet hole 111 and the second air inlet hole 181, respectively, to direct air to the first air inlet hole 111 and the second air inlet hole 181. By providing the first air guide hood 34 to guide the flow of air, the airflow within the air flow channel 99 is more directional, thereby improving utilization efficiency.

[0095] Among them, an air guide channel 341 is provided in the first air guide cover 34, the entrance of the air guide channel 341 is connected with the air flow channel 99, and the air guide channel 341 is also connected with the first air inlet hole 111 and the second air inlet hole 181 respectively. The airflow in the air flow channel 99 enters the air guide channel 341 through the entrance of the air guide channel 341, and then divides into two branches, and discharges the air guide channel 341 from the first air inlet hole 111 and the second air inlet hole 181 respectively. The airflow enters the cooking space 11 from the first air inlet hole 111, and the airflow dissipates heat to the mounting part 22 from the second air inlet hole 181.

[0096] In some specific embodiments, the air outlet end of the second fan assembly 33 corresponds to the inlet of the air guiding channel 341 .

[0097] In some embodiments, the first air guide cover 34 includes an air guide bottom plate 342 and an air guide connecting plate 343 .

[0098] The wind guide bottom plate 342 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner liner 10, and the wind guide connecting plate 343 is arranged on the wind guide bottom plate 342. The end of the wind guide connecting plate 343 away from the wind guide bottom plate 342 is connected to the side wall of the inner liner 10 where the mounting part 22 is provided. The wind guide connecting plate 343, the wind guide bottom plate 342, and the inner liner 10 jointly define an air guide channel 341.

[0099] More specifically, the inner liner 10 includes: a rear plate 19 and a top plate 18, the air guide bottom plate 342 is arranged on the rear plate 19, the air guide connecting plate 343 is arranged on the air guide bottom plate 342, and the end of the air guide connecting plate 343 away from the air guide bottom plate 342 is connected to the top plate 18, and the air guide connecting plate 343, the air guide bottom plate 342, the top plate 18 and the rear plate 19 jointly define an air guide channel 341.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first air guide cover 34 is provided with a second air outlet 3431 , and the second air outlet 3431 is connected to the air guide channel 341 and the air flow channel 99 .

[0101] Specifically, the second air outlet 3431 is provided on the air guide connecting plate 343 .

[0102] As shown in Figures 6 to 9, in some specific embodiments, the air duct space 21 includes a plurality of spaced-apart subspaces 213, each subspace 213 is connected to the cooking space 11 through the air inlet area 12 and the return air area 13, and a first fan 32 is provided in each subspace 213.

[0103] It should be noted that in the related art, cooking devices use fans to disturb air to form airflow. Usually, multiple fans are set in the same space, and the multiple fans interfere with each other to cause turbulence, which wastes energy.

[0104] The present application sets a plurality of spaced subspaces 213 , and the plurality of spaced subspaces 213 separate the plurality of first fans 32 , thereby improving airflow turbulence, increasing energy utilization, and further improving the heating effect.

[0105] For example, there are two subspaces 213, each of which is provided with a first fan 32, thereby improving airflow turbulence. Alternatively, there are two subspaces 213, with two subspaces 213 separating four first fans 32, and each subspace 213 being provided with two first fans 32, which can also improve airflow turbulence. Alternatively, there are three subspaces 213, with three subspaces 213 separating four first fans 32, with one subspace 213 being provided with two first fans 32, and the other two subspaces 213 being provided with one first fan 32 each, which can also improve airflow turbulence.

[0106] In some embodiments, a partition 23 is provided in the air duct space 21 to separate the air duct space 21 into a plurality of sub-spaces 213 , thereby reducing the number of parts and facilitating assembly.

[0107] In some embodiments, the separator 23 is made of a heat-insulating material. By setting the separator 23 as a heat-insulating material, the separator 23 separates a plurality of subspaces 213 , while preventing heat from being transferred between two adjacent subspaces 213 , further achieving balanced heating.

[0108] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, in some specific embodiments, the partition 23 is fixed to the mounting member 22. By arranging the partition 23 to be fixed to the mounting member 22, the assembly of the cooking device 100 is facilitated.

[0109] In other specific embodiments, the divider 23 is fixed to the inner container 10 to facilitate positioning.

[0110] In other embodiments, there are multiple mounting members 22 , and a subspace 213 is defined between the mounting members 22 and the inner container 10 .

[0111] Specifically, a plurality of mounting members 22 are arranged at intervals.

[0112] In some embodiments, a heat shield 221 is provided on the mounting member 22 to insulate heat.

[0113] In some embodiments, an air inlet 93 is provided below the inner container 10, and an air outlet 91 is provided above the inner container 10. The air flow channel 99 includes a bottom air flow channel 94, a rear air flow channel 95, and a top air flow channel 92. The bottom air flow channel 94 is provided at the bottom of the inner container 10 and communicates with the air inlet 93. The upper and lower ends of the rear air flow channel 95 are respectively communicated with the bottom air flow channel 94 and the top air flow channel. The top air flow channel 92 communicates with the air outlet 91. The second fan assembly 33 is provided in the rear air flow channel 95. By providing the bottom air flow channel 99, the rear air flow channel 95, and the top air flow channel 92, air enters the cooking device 100 from the air inlet 93, passes through the bottom air flow channel 94, the rear air flow channel 95, and the top air flow channel 92, and is discharged from the cooking device 100 through the air outlet 91, thereby effectively dissipating heat from various parts of the cooking device 100.

[0114] For example, air enters the bottom air flow channel 94 from the air inlet 93, and the air flows in the bottom air flow channel 94 to take away the heat of the bottom structure of the cooking device 100, and then passes through the rear air flow channel 95 and the top air flow channel 92 in turn, taking away the heat of the rear structure and the heat of the top structure of the cooking device 100 in turn, and finally discharges the cooking device 100 from the air outlet 91, thereby discharging the heat of the various structures of the cooking device 100.

[0115] As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 10, in some specific embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a control module 35 for controlling the operating state of the cooking device 100. The control module 35 is located in the rear airflow passage 95. By locating the control module 35 in the rear airflow passage 95, the air flowing in the rear airflow passage 95 is fully utilized to dissipate heat from the control module 35.

[0116] Specifically, the cooking device 100 further includes a transformer 351 for converting voltage levels, and the transformer 351 is located in the rear airflow channel 95. By arranging the transformer 351 in the rear airflow channel 95, the air flowing in the rear airflow channel 95 is fully utilized to dissipate heat from the transformer 351.

[0117] It can be understood that the temperature of the control module 35 rises when it is working, and the higher temperature affects the normal operation of the control module 35. The present application uses the air flowing in the rear air flow channel 95 to dissipate heat from the control module 35, without the need for a separate heat dissipation device, thereby reducing the number of components.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first air inlet 111 is located on the rear wall of the inner container 10 and communicates with the rear air flow channel 95. By arranging the first air inlet 111 on the rear wall of the inner container 10, air in the rear air flow channel 95 enters the cooking space 11 through the first air inlet 111.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first fan assembly 20 is located in the top airflow channel 92. By arranging the first fan assembly 20 in the top airflow channel 92, the air flowing in the top airflow channel 92 is used to dissipate heat from the first fan assembly 20. At the same time, the top airflow channel 92 is used to place the first fan assembly 20, thereby improving space utilization.

[0121] The drawer 60 is used for storing articles, and the drawer 60 is movably arranged in the cooking space 11. For example, the drawer 60 stores food.

[0122] The guide rail assembly 70 is disposed between the inner container 10 and the shell 90 , and the guide rail assembly 70 is connected to the drawer 60 so that the drawer 60 can be pulled out.

[0123] Among them, the drawer 60 is designed to be pull-out, which makes it easier to place and take out food compared to the solution in the related art where the food carrying space is fixed inside the cooking appliance.

[0124] It should be noted that the drawer 60 and the cooking space 11 can be pulled together so that the cooking device 100 can be embedded in the cabinet of the furniture, which is suitable for different working environments.

[0125] As shown in Figures 11 and 10, in some embodiments, the drawer member 60 includes: a drawer body 63 and a roller 64. The roller 64 is provided at the bottom of the drawer body 63. The roller 64 is suitable for rolling contact with the bottom wall of the inner container 10. The roller 64 assists the drawer member 60 in moving.

[0126] More specifically, the roller 64 is disposed at an end of the drawer 60 away from the opening of the inner container 10 .

[0127] As shown in FIG10 , the drawer body 63 includes a drawer body 631 and a drawer door 632 . The drawer door 632 is connected to the drawer body 631 . The food carrying space is located inside the drawer body 631 . The drawer door 632 is suitable for opening or closing an opening.

[0128] As shown in FIG. 10 , in some specific embodiments, a handle 6321 and a window are provided on the drawer door 632 , a control panel is provided on the housing, and the drawer door 632 is flush with the control panel.

[0129] In some specific embodiments, the drawer 60 is adapted to enter and exit the cooking space 11 by translation and / or rotation.

[0130] That is to say, the drawer 60 can enter and exit the cooking space 11 by translation; or, the drawer 60 can enter and exit the cooking space 11 by rotation; or, the drawer 60 can enter and exit the cooking space 11 both by translation and by rotation.

[0131] The guide rail assembly 70 is provided to guide the movement of the drawer 60 in and out of the cooking space 11 , so that the movement of the drawer 60 is more stable.

[0132] In some specific embodiments, the air flow channel 99 further includes side air flow channels 96 located on the left and right sides of the inner container 10, and the guide rail assembly 70 is located in the side air flow channels 96. By installing the guide rail assembly 70 in the side air flow channels 96, the air flowing in the side air flow channels 96 is used to dissipate heat from the guide rail assembly 70, thereby improving the reliability of the guide rail assembly 70.

[0133] In other specific embodiments, the airflow channel 99 further includes side airflow channels 96 located on the left and right sides of the inner liner 10. There are multiple guide rail assemblies 70, and the multiple guide rail assemblies 70 are respectively located in the side airflow channels 96 and the bottom airflow channel 94. By installing the guide rail assemblies 70 in the side airflow channels 96 and the bottom airflow channel 94, the air flowing in the side airflow channels 96 and the bottom airflow channel 94 is used to dissipate heat from the guide rail assemblies 70, thereby improving the reliability of the guide rail assemblies 70.

[0134] Specifically, the guide rail assembly 70 is close to the inner pot 10. When the cooking device 100 is working, the inner pot 10 is usually at a relatively high temperature. The normal operation of the guide rail assembly 70 usually requires lubricating fluid. The high temperature causes the lubricating fluid to be quickly consumed or ineffective. The present application utilizes the air flowing in the side airflow channel 96 to dissipate heat from the guide rail assembly 70, so that the lubricating fluid always exerts its effect, thereby improving the reliability of the guide rail assembly 70.

[0135] As shown in FIG. 10 , specifically, the guide rail assembly 70 includes a guide rail 71 and a sliding member 72 . The sliding member 72 is suitable for sliding along the guide rail 71 . One of the guide rail 71 and the sliding member 72 is provided on the drawer 60 , and the other is provided on the inner container 10 .

[0136] As shown in Figure 6, in other embodiments, the inner pot 10 includes a first side panel 16, a second side panel 161 and a bottom panel 17, the first side panel 16 is arranged on one side of the cooking space 11, the second side panel 161 is arranged on the other side of the cooking space 11, the bottom panel 17 connects the first side panel 16 and the second side panel 161, and the bottom panel 17 is located at the bottom of the cooking space 11.

[0137] As shown in FIG10 , a guide rail assembly 70 is provided between the bottom of the drawer 60 and the bottom plate 17. By providing the guide rail assembly 70 between the bottom of the drawer 60 and the bottom plate 17, the guide rail assembly 70 can fully support the gravity of the drawer 60, reducing the strength requirement of the connection between the guide rail assembly 70 and the drawer 60.

[0138] In other embodiments, the inner pot 10 includes a first side panel 16, a second side panel 161 and a bottom panel 17, the first side panel 16 is arranged on one side of the cooking space 11, the second side panel 161 is arranged on the other side of the cooking space 11, the bottom panel 17 connects the first side panel 16 and the second side panel 161, and the bottom panel 17 is located at the bottom of the cooking space 11.

[0139] As shown in FIG10 , a guide rail assembly 70 is provided between the first side portion of the drawer 60 and the first side panel 16, and between the second side portion of the drawer 60 and the second side panel 161. Furthermore, a guide rail assembly 70 is provided between the bottom of the drawer 60 and the bottom panel 17. By providing the guide rail assembly 70 between the first side portion of the drawer 60 and the first side panel 16, between the second side portion of the drawer 60 and the second side panel 161, and between the bottom of the drawer 60 and the bottom panel 17, the multiple guide rail assemblies 70 jointly support the drawer 60, allowing the drawer 60 to carry more and heavier food.

[0140] As shown in FIG10 , in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a drawer driver 80 for driving the drawer 60 in and out of the cooking space 11. The drawer driver 80 and the heating assembly 40 are located on different sides of the inner pot 10. Providing the drawer driver 80 to drive the drawer 60 in and out of the cooking space 11 improves the automation level of the cooking device 100.

[0141] The drawer drive 80 and the heating assembly 40 are located on different sides of the inner container 10, fully utilizing the space surrounding the inner container 10. For example, the drawer drive 80 can be located on the right side of the inner container 10, and the heating assembly 40 can be located on the upper side of the inner container 10; alternatively, the drawer drive 80 can be located on the left side of the inner container 10, and the heating assembly 40 can be located on the lower side of the inner container 10. Of course, the drawer drive 80 can also be located on other sides of the inner container 10, which will not be detailed here.

[0142] Specifically, the drawer driving member 80 includes a push-pull motor and a push-pull rod. The push-pull rod is connected to the drawer member 60 . The push-pull motor is used to drive the push-pull rod to translate, so as to drive the drawer member 60 to enter and exit the cooking space 11 .

[0143] In some embodiments, the upper end of the side airflow channel 96 is connected to the top airflow channel 92 .

[0144] For example, air flows from the side air flow passages 96 to the top air flow passages 92 and is finally discharged from the cooking device 100 through the air outlet 91 .

[0145] In some specific embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes an air baffle 36 disposed between the housing 90 and the inner pot 10 to separate a bottom airflow channel 94 from at least one side airflow channel 96. The air baffle 36 is provided with a third air inlet 361 for connecting the bottom airflow channel 94 with the side airflow channel 96. The provision of the air baffle 36 to separate the bottom airflow channel 94 from the side airflow channel 96 makes the boundary between the bottom airflow channel 94 and the side airflow channel 96 clearer, thereby preventing airflow turbulence.

[0146] The air baffle 36 is provided with a third air inlet 361, which connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the side airflow channel 96. Air flows through both the bottom airflow channel 94 and the side airflow channel 96. For example, the third air inlet 361 connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the left airflow channel; or the third air inlet 361 connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the right airflow channel; or, the third air inlet 361 connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the left airflow channel and the right airflow channel, respectively.

[0147] For example, the air in the bottom air flow channel 94 enters the side air flow channel 96 through the third air inlet hole 361 .

[0148] In some embodiments, the liner 10 is provided with a rear panel 19, which cooperates with the shell 90 and the wind baffle 36 to separate the bottom airflow channel 94, the rear airflow channel 95, and the side airflow channel 96. The rear panel 19 is provided with a first connecting hole 191 and a second connecting hole 192. The first connecting hole 191 connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the rear airflow channel 95, and the second connecting hole 192 connects the side airflow channel 96 and the rear airflow channel 95. By providing the rear panel 19 to separate the bottom airflow channel, the rear airflow channel 95, and the side airflow channel 96, the boundaries between the various channels are made clearer, avoiding airflow turbulence.

[0149] The rear panel 19 is provided with a first connecting hole 191, which connects the bottom airflow channel 94 and the rear airflow channel 95, allowing air to flow through both the bottom airflow channel 94 and the rear airflow channel 95. For example, the air in the bottom airflow channel 94 flows into the rear airflow channel 95 through the first connecting hole 191.

[0150] The rear panel 19 is provided with a second connecting hole 192, which connects the side airflow channel 96 and the rear airflow channel 95, allowing air to flow through both the side airflow channel 96 and the rear airflow channel 95. For example, air in the side airflow channel 96 flows into the rear airflow channel 95 through the second connecting hole 192.

[0151] As shown in Figures 11 to 13, in some embodiments, heating assembly 40 includes a microwave assembly 42 and a heating tube 41. Heating tube 41 is disposed within cooking space 11. Inner pot 10 is provided with a microwave inlet 14. Microwave assembly 42 is configured to generate microwaves and transmit them toward cooking space 11 through microwave inlet 14. Microwave assembly 42 and first fan assembly 20 are both located at the top of inner pot 10. Heating tube 41 and microwave assembly 42 provide a variety of heating methods for food, enhancing applicability.

[0152] The heating tube 41 emits infrared rays to heat the food; the microwave component 42 emits microwaves, which make the molecules inside the food resonate and generate heat due to friction between the molecules.

[0153] The inner pot 10 is provided with a microwave inlet 14. Microwaves generated by the microwave assembly 42 enter the cooking space 11 through the microwave inlet 14 to heat the food in the cooking space 11. The microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are located on the same side of the inner pot 10. This occupies less space and makes the cooking device 100 more compact.

[0154] In the related art, the fan device and the microwave generator are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the cavity. In order to install the fan device, an entire layer of placement space must be set up above the cavity. In order to install the microwave generator, an entire layer of placement space must be set up below the cavity. At the same time, when assembling the cooking appliance, the fan device and the microwave generator must be installed on both sides of the cavity respectively, which makes assembly more difficult.

[0155] In the present application, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are on the same side of the inner pot 10, that is, they can only occupy the space on one side of the inner pot 10. The functional components of the cooking device 100, such as the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20, are more concentrated and compact in structure. At the same time, the concentrated functional components are easy to install.

[0156] The microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are both located on the top of the inner container 10 , which simplifies the process of the inner container 10 . For example, there is no need to fix a ceramic plate on the inner container 10 , thereby optimizing the process types.

[0157] In some embodiments, the first fan assembly 20 is disposed around the microwave assembly 42. By disposing the first fan assembly 20 around the microwave assembly 42, the airflow in the first fan assembly 20 affects a larger range.

[0158] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. When the cooking device 100 is in the first operating mode, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are in operation. When the cooking device 100 is in the second operating mode, the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 are in operation. In other words, the first fan assembly 20 is operational in both the first and second operating modes, fully utilizing the first fan assembly 20 and reducing the number of components.

[0159] That is, the cooking device 100 has at least two operating modes, namely, a first operating mode and a second operating mode.

[0160] In which, the cooking device 100 is in the first working mode, the microwave component 42 and the first fan component 20 are working, the microwave component 42 generates microwaves to heat the food in the cooking space 11, and the airflow generated by the first fan component 20 flows through the food, heating the food more evenly and improving the cooking effect.

[0161] The first fan assembly 20 includes multiple first fans 32 , and the microwave assembly 42 works with the first fan assembly 20 . That is, the microwave assembly 42 can work with one first fan 32 , two first fans 32 , or three first fans 32 .

[0162] In some embodiments, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 operate simultaneously, for example, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are turned on and operated at the same time, or the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 operate within a period of time.

[0163] In other embodiments, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 work alternately, that is, the microwave assembly 42 works for a period of time, then the first fan assembly 20 works for a period of time, and then the microwave assembly 42 works for a period of time. The first fan assembly 20 makes the heat distribution more uniform.

[0164] In which, the cooking device 100 is in the second working mode, the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 are working, the heating tube 41 generates infrared rays to heat the food, and the airflow generated by the first fan assembly 20 flows in the cooking space 11, making the temperature in the cooking space 11 more uniform, thereby improving the heating uniformity.

[0165] The first fan assembly 20 includes multiple first fans 32 , and the heating tube 41 works with the first fan assembly 20 , that is, the heating tube 41 can work with one first fan 32 , two first fans 32 , or three first fans 32 .

[0166] In some embodiments, the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 work simultaneously, for example, the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 are turned on and work at the same time, or the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 are both working within a time period.

[0167] In other embodiments, the heating tube 41 and the first fan assembly 20 work alternately, that is, the heating tube 41 works for a period of time, then the first fan assembly 20 works for a period of time, and then the heating tube 41 works for a period of time, and the first fan assembly 20 makes the heat distribution more uniform.

[0168] As shown in Figures 11 and 10, in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a rotatable stirring member 50, which is disposed corresponding to the microwave inlet 14. By disposing the stirring member 50 corresponding to the microwave inlet 14, the stirring member 50 can stir the microwaves, so that the microwaves are more evenly distributed to various parts of the cooking space 11.

[0169] As shown in FIG12 , in some embodiments, a stirring member 50 is provided in the cooking space 11. The stirring member 50 is provided with a stirring motor 51, and an output end of the stirring motor 51 is provided through the microwave assembly 42 and connected to the stirring member 50 to drive the stirring member 50 to rotate.

[0170] More specifically, the stirring motor 51 and the first fan assembly 20 overlap in the first direction, and by arranging the stirring motor 51 and the first fan assembly 20 to overlap in the first direction, the structure is compacted. For example, the first direction is the up-down direction.

[0171] In some embodiments, the microwave assembly 42 and the first fan assembly 20 are both located on the top wall of the inner container 10 .

[0172] That is to say, the microwave inlet 14 is provided on the top wall of the inner pot 10 , which simplifies the process of the inner pot 10 . For example, there is no need to fix a ceramic plate on the inner pot 10 , thereby optimizing the process types.

[0173] In some embodiments, a splash guard is further provided on the top wall of the inner container 10 , and the splash guard corresponds to the microwave inlet 14 to prevent oil from splashing into the microwave inlet 14 .

[0174] Specifically, the splash guard and the top wall of the inner pot 10 jointly define a stirring space, and the stirring element 50 is arranged in the stirring space. The splash guard prevents the oil from splashing into the microwave inlet 14 while preventing the oil from splashing on the stirring element 50, thereby reducing the workload of subsequent cleaning.

[0175] Specifically, the splash guard is made of quartz, and microwaves can penetrate quartz, utilizing the inherent properties of the quartz material to achieve a splash-proof effect.

[0176] In some embodiments, the microwave assembly 42 includes: a magnetron 421 and a waveguide tube 422, the magnetron 421 is used to generate microwaves, the waveguide tube 422 is connected to the magnetron 421, the waveguide tube 422 is located in the top airflow channel 92, the magnetron 421 is located in the rear airflow channel 95, and the drawer drive 80 is located in the side airflow channel 96.

[0177] The present application makes full use of the top side space by arranging the waveguide tube 422 in the top air flow channel 92, so that the overall structure of the cooking device 100 is thinner in the height direction. At the same time, the magnetron 421 is arranged in the rear air flow channel 95, and the drawer drive component 80 is arranged in the side air flow channel 96, so as to rationally utilize the space of each part.

[0178] In some specific embodiments, the cooking device 100 includes the first air duct 34 described above, the magnetron 421 is located between the first air duct 34 and the second fan assembly 33 , and the second fan assembly 33 is used to cool the magnetron 421 .

[0179] As shown in Figures 11 and 10, in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a food carrier 61 disposed within the cooking space 11. The inner pot 10 is provided with a microwave inlet 14, which corresponds to the center of the food carrier 61. By arranging the microwave inlet 14 to correspond to the center of the food carrier 61, the microwave inlet 14 can be aligned with the center of the food, thereby improving the uniformity of microwave heating.

[0180] It should be noted that in related art, the microwave inlet is located in the center of the cooking space. However, since the cooking space is relatively large, the user may not place the food in the center of the cooking space, resulting in less uniform microwave heating, uneven heating of different parts of the food, and poor cooking quality.
