[0029] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.

[0030] 1 to 10 , a microwave oven-specific cooking vessel comprises an upper baking tray 1 and an upper tray cover 2, a lower baking tray 3 and a lower tray cover 4. A wave-absorbing and heating layer 5 is provided on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower baking trays. The upper tray cover 2 and the lower tray cover 4 are formed by silicone or soft plastic, and comprise a cover portion 6 and an edge portion 7. An embedding groove 8 is formed at the connection between the cover portion 6 and the edge portion 7. The edges of the upper and lower baking trays have convex edges 9 extending toward each other, and an outwardly convex embedding edge 10 is provided on the outer circumference of the convex edge 9. The embedding edge 10 is inserted into the embedding groove 8 to achieve the installation and fixation of the upper baking tray 1 and the upper tray cover 2, and the lower baking tray 3 and the lower tray cover 4.

[0031] The upper and lower housing covers 6 are each provided with a plurality of snap-in notches 15. The inner walls of the upper and lower housing clips 13 and 14 are provided with a plurality of snap-in buckles 16 corresponding to the snap-in buckles 15. Once the snap-in buckles 16 are aligned with the snap-in buckles 15 and inserted and secured, the upper and lower housing clips 13 and 14 can be respectively installed on the upper and lower housings 2 and 4, thereby securing the upper and lower housing clips 13 to the upper and lower housings 2, and the lower and lower housing clips 14 to the lower housings 4. The upper and lower housing clips have a rotating end and an opening and closing end. The rotating ends of the upper and lower housing clips 13 and 14 are hingedly connected to each other, thereby driving the upper and lower grilling plates and the upper and lower housings to rotate and open and close synchronously. When the upper and lower grilling plates and the upper and lower housings are closed, a closed cooking chamber is formed between the upper and lower grilling plates 1 and 2. When microwaves act on the absorbing and heating layer 5, the absorbing and heating layer 5 absorbs the microwaves and converts them into heat energy and conducts the heat to the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3. The upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 can then cook the ingredients in the cooking cavity.

[0032] At the same time, after the upper and lower baking trays and the upper and lower tray covers are closed, the edge portions 7 of the upper and lower tray covers fit together to fully surround the upper and lower baking trays; in addition, a certain gap can be maintained between the upper and lower baking trays to prevent the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 from contacting and causing sparks.

[0033] The opening and closing end of the upper clip 13 is provided with a buckle 17, and the opening and closing end of the lower clip 14 is provided with a hook 18 corresponding to the buckle 17. The connection between the buckle 17 and the hook 18 can realize the closure and locking of the upper and lower clips, so that the cooking cavity between the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 2 is in a stable closed state, thereby improving the quality of the cooked ingredients. After cooking is completed, the buckle 17 is disengaged from the hook 18, and the upper clip 13 is rotated to open the upper baking tray 1, and the cooked ingredients can be taken out.

[0034] The sides of the upper and lower grill plates facing the opening and closing ends of the upper and lower clamps form their front sides. The front sides and adjacent side edges of the upper and lower grill plates have outwardly extending edges 19 and 20, respectively. When the upper grill plate 1 and lower grill plate 3 are closed, the front and adjacent side edges 19 and 20 of the upper and lower grill plates form the edge of a cooking chamber. The thickness of the edge of the cooking chamber is smaller than the center of the cooking chamber. When cooking sandwiches, ingredients are typically added between overlapping slices of bread. Therefore, the smaller edge of the cooking chamber allows the edges of the overlapping slices to be squeezed together, creating a sealed edge. The thicker center of the cooking chamber allows for better accommodating of ingredients, thereby improving the cooking quality of the sandwich. In this embodiment, the front edges 19 of the upper and lower grill plates 1 and 3 have mutually matching wavy surfaces, allowing sandwiches to be cooked with a wavy, sealed edge, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the food. The extended edges 19 on the front sides of the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 are further provided with multiple sets of mutually meshing convex teeth 21 and tooth grooves 22. When a slice of bread is used to make a sandwich, the two ends of the bread slice can respectively rest on the convex teeth 21 of the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3. In this way, when the ingredients are added and the upper and lower baking trays are closed, the bread slice will not move due to the restrictive effect of the convex teeth 21, thereby ensuring the cooking effect. The mutually meshing convex teeth 21 and tooth grooves 22 provided on the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 can not only achieve the normal closure of the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3, but also avoid the situation where the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 contact and cause sparks.

[0035] The rotating ends of the upper and lower clamps are respectively provided with hinge components. The hinge component of the upper clamp 13 includes an upper shaft sleeve 23, an upper limit block 24 and an upper hinge shaft 25 arranged in sequence. The hinge component of the lower clamp 14 includes a lower hinge shaft 26, a lower limit block 27 and a lower shaft sleeve 28 arranged in sequence. The lower hinge shaft 26 is inserted into the upper shaft sleeve 23, the upper shaft sleeve 23 and the upper limit block 24 are located on both sides of the lower hinge shaft 26, the upper hinge shaft 25 is inserted into the lower shaft sleeve 28, the lower shaft sleeve 28 and the lower limit block 27 are located on both sides of the upper hinge shaft 25, so that the lower hinge shaft 26 can be stably rotated in the upper shaft sleeve 23 and the upper hinge shaft 25 in the lower shaft sleeve 28. The upper and lower clamps 13 and 14 are hinged to each other. At the same time, the tops of the upper hinge shafts 25 and 26 are provided with notches corresponding to the lower stop block 27 and the upper stop block 24, respectively. When the upper clamp 13 is rotated to the corresponding angle, the lower stop block 27 and the upper stop block 24 align with the corresponding notches. The upper and lower clamps 13 and 14 are moved axially, so that the upper and lower hinge shafts 25 and 26 can avoid the lower stop block 27 and the upper stop block 24, respectively, and then disengage the lower shaft sleeve 28 and the upper shaft sleeve 23, thereby releasing the hinge connection between the upper and lower clamps 13 and 14, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the components after use. After cleaning, according to the above operation, at the corresponding angle, the upper and lower hinge shafts 25 and 26 can be reinserted into the lower shaft sleeve 28 and the upper shaft sleeve 23 to restore the hinge connection between the upper and lower clamps 13 and 14. The corresponding angle mentioned above refers to the angle between the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3. The angle when the upper baking tray 1 and the lower baking tray 3 are closed is defined as 0°, and the corresponding angle can be any angle other than 0°.

[0036] As shown in Figures 8-10 , in Example 1, the hinge assembly further includes a foot 29 provided at the center of the rotating end of the upper clamp 13 and a support 30 provided at the rotating end of the lower clamp 14, corresponding to the foot 29. When the upper clamp 13 rotates and opens to an obtuse angle, the foot 29 abuts against the support 30 to maintain the upper clamp 13 in the open position, thereby avoiding the need for the user to manually support the upper disc 2, which causes operational inconvenience. In this embodiment, the foot 29 and the support 30 can also be interchanged, i.e., the foot 29 is provided on the lower clamp 14, and the support 30 is provided on the upper clamp 13.

[0037] As shown in Figures 11-13, in Example 2, a limiting structure is provided on the upper surfaces of the lower hinge shaft 26 and the lower sleeve 28. This limiting structure intersects the rotational trajectory of the upper clamp 13. This allows the upper clamp 13 to abut against the limiting structure on the upper surfaces of the lower hinge shaft 26 and the lower sleeve 28 when the upper clamp 13 is opened to an obtuse angle, thereby maintaining the upper clamp 13 in its open position. In this embodiment, the limiting structure can also be provided on the upper hinge shaft 25 and the upper sleeve 23. When the upper clamp 13 is opened to an obtuse angle, the limiting structure on the upper hinge shaft 25 and the upper sleeve 23 abuts against the lower clamp 14, thereby also maintaining the upper clamp 13 in its open position. The limiting structure can be a limiting plane, a limiting bump, or the like provided on the upper surfaces of the lower hinge shaft 26 and the lower sleeve 28, or the upper hinge shaft 25 and the upper sleeve 23.

[0038] The bottom of the lower housing clip 14 is provided with a plurality of legs 31, which can keep the cooking vessel stable. The legs 31 can also be arranged on the bottom of the lower housing 4.

[0039] The upper and lower clips are made of plastic, can be used in microwave ovens, and have good strength and light weight.

[0040] The other structures of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.
