The interlocking assembly 3 has a compact structure and a small volume, which can reduce the installation cost and improve the lightweight of the cooking equipment 100.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the cooking equipment 100 according to an embodiment of the present application comprises an equipment body 1 and a door body 2.

The door hook 22 is adapted to push the second linkage component 33 to trigger the monitoring micro switch 36 and the primary micro switch 34 respectively.

[0032] The cooking device 100 can be set as a microwave oven or a microwave-steam oven, etc., which can be used to defrost, ferment, preheat and bake food. The cooking device 100 is equipped with a cooking cavity and an electrical compartment. The electrical compartment is used to place the parts required to complete the above operations. The cooking cavity forms a space to hold food. When using the device, the user can put the food into the cooking cavity and then perform operations such as defrosting, fermenting, preheating and baking to meet different user needs.

[0033] The cooking device 100 is provided with a main body 1 and a door 2. A cooking cavity is formed inside the main body 1. The cooking cavity is used to place food and process the food accordingly. One side of the cooking cavity is open, forming a cooking cavity opening. Food is put into the cooking cavity through the cooking cavity opening. The door 2 is movably installed on the main body 1. The door 2 can be used to selectively close the cooking cavity. That is, when the user needs to take food out of the cooking cavity or put food into the cooking cavity, the door 2 can be driven away from the cooking cavity opening, thereby opening the cooking cavity. When the cooking device 100 is running or idle, the door 2 can be closed to keep the cooking cavity in a sealed state, ensuring the safety of the cooking device 100 and the cleanliness of the cooking cavity.

[0034] Meanwhile, the device main body 1 is also provided with an interlocking assembly 3, which can serve as a system safety return circuit switch of the door body 2 accessing the cooking device 100, and in the open state of the door body 2, the interlocking assembly 3 is disconnected, at which time the cooking device 100 cannot work, and in the closed state of the door body 2, the interlocking assembly 3 is triggered, at which time the cooking device 100 can work normally. The device main body 1 is also provided with an interlocking bracket 31, and the interlocking assembly 3 is installed on the interlocking bracket 31, that is, the interlocking assembly 3 can be installed on the device main body 1 through the interlocking bracket 31, and then can be fixed relative to the device main body 1, that is, in the present application, the first linkage 32, the second linkage 33, the primary micro switch 34, the secondary micro switch 35 and the monitoring micro switch 36 of the interlocking assembly 3 are integrally arranged on the same interlocking bracket 31, realizing the integrated arrangement of multiple structural parts, that is, the three micro switches are centrally arranged, and the problem of the interlocking assembly 3 occupying too much installation space in the device main body 1 caused by the dispersed installation of the micro switches does not occur, the compactness of the interlocking assembly 3 can be improved, the volume of the interlocking assembly 3 can be reduced, and the number of interlocking brackets 31 can be reduced, thereby improving the lightness of the cooking device 100, and reducing the materials required for producing the cooking device 100, thereby reducing the setting cost.

[0036] Among them, the primary micro switch 34 and the secondary micro switch 35 can trigger different circuit conditions when the door body 2 is opened and closed, thereby affecting the connection and disconnection of the power supply of the cooking device 100. When any one of the primary micro switch 34 and the secondary micro switch 35 shows that the door body 2 is not normally closed or not tightly closed, the cooking device 100 cannot work normally, improving the safety of the cooking device 100, and the interlocking assembly 3 is also provided with a monitoring micro switch 36, which can disconnect the power supply of the cooking device 100 when the primary micro switch 34 and the secondary micro switch 35 fail to cause the line to be normally short-circuited, thereby further ensuring the safety of the cooking device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0037] According to the cooking device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the interlocking assembly 3 is integrally installed on the interlocking support 31, so that the structure of the interlocking assembly 3 is compact, the volume of the interlocking assembly 3 can be reduced, the light weight of the cooking device 100 can be improved, the materials required for producing the cooking device 100 can be reduced, the setting cost can be reduced, the use effect is better, and the application range is wider.
