Description

Cooking utensils

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510373422.1, filed on March 26, 2025, entitled "Cooking Utensils", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0003] In related technologies, large-volume cooking appliances integrate a cooktop and a cabinet, with a cooking cavity inside the cabinet. These appliances lack light-emitting elements, requiring the use of indoor lights to clearly observe the food inside the cooking cavity when cooking at night or in low-light conditions. This limits the appliance's usability, reduces convenience, and results in low performance and a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a cooking utensil.

[0006] In view of the above, this application proposes a cooking appliance, comprising: a housing assembly having a first cooking cavity; a first door movable relative to the housing assembly, the first door being used to open or close the first cooking cavity; a stovetop disposed on one side of the housing assembly, the stovetop including a stovetop plate and a stovetop body, the stovetop body being located between the stovetop plate and the housing assembly; and a light-emitting structure disposed on the outer periphery of the stovetop body, and / or disposed on the housing assembly; when the light-emitting structure is disposed on the outer periphery of the stovetop body and the first cooking cavity is in a closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is disposed opposite to the first door; when the light-emitting structure is disposed on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is in a closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is located on the periphery of the first door.

[0007] The cooking appliance provided in this application includes a housing assembly, a first door, a cooktop, and a light-emitting structure.

[0008] The cooktop is located on one side of the cabinet assembly. Specifically, along the height direction of the cooking utensils, the cooktop is located above the cabinet assembly. The cabinet assembly has the function of raising the installation height of the cooktop to match the user's height, making it convenient for the user to cook through the cooktop at an appropriate height.

[0009] The first door is movable relative to the housing assembly, and the first door has the function of opening or closing the first cooking cavity.

[0010] The light-emitting structure is located on at least one of the cooktop body and the cabinet assembly. That is, at least one of the cooktop body and the cabinet assembly serves as the mounting carrier for the light-emitting structure, providing installation and fixation. The light-emitting structure emits light, thus enriching the display performance of the cooking appliance's appearance, providing a decorative effect, and enhancing its aesthetic appeal. When using the cooking appliance at night or in low-light conditions, users can clearly observe the current cooking status of the food in the first cooking chamber solely through the light emitted by the light-emitting structure, without turning on indoor lights, providing structural support for effective food cooking. Specifically, users can open the first door and observe the cooking status of the food through the light-emitting structure. Specifically, at least a portion of the first door is a light-transmitting part, allowing users to observe the cooking status of the food through the light-transmitting part and the light-emitting structure without opening the first door. At the same time, the light-emitting structure can emit light at night or in low-light indoor environments, acting as an ambient light. It can provide illumination without the user turning on indoor lights, enriching the functionality of the cooking appliance and enhancing its performance and market competitiveness.

[0011] When the light-emitting structure is mounted on the cooktop body, it is located on the outer periphery of the cooktop body. When the first cooking cavity is closed, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is positioned opposite the first door. That is, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is located on the front of the cooking appliance, allowing the user to see the light-emitting structure directly from the front. Furthermore, by defining the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure and the first door, the positional relationship between the light emitted by the light-emitting structure and the first door can be ensured, providing structural support for observing food through the light-emitting structure.

[0012] When the light-emitting structure is located on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is closed, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is located on the periphery of the first door. That is, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure is located on the front of the cooking appliance, allowing the user to see the light-emitting structure directly from the front. At the same time, by defining the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure and the first door, the positional relationship between the light emitted by the light-emitting structure and the first door can be ensured, providing structural support for observing the food through the light-emitting structure.

[0013] Understandably, the placement of the light-emitting structure ensures that the emitted light aligns with the area of ​​the first cooking cavity, providing effective illumination while preventing the light from being deflected into the first cooking cavity by a deflector device. This reduces the design complexity of the cooking appliance and lowers the production cost of the product.

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the light-emitting structure is located on the outer periphery of the stove body, the light-emitting structure is an annular light-emitting strip surrounding the stove body, or a strip light-emitting strip, or a groove light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the stove body; or the light-emitting structure includes multiple light-emitting elements, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the stove body.

[0015] In this technical solution, the shape of the light-emitting structure is further defined.

[0016] When the light-emitting structure is located on the outer periphery of the stove body, the light-emitting structure is a ring-shaped light-emitting strip surrounding the stove body. That is, the light-emitting structure is arranged around the stove body, which can achieve the effect of illuminating the stove body around the periphery. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking utensils from multiple directions and angles, increases the illumination range of the light-emitting structure, and improves the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0017] When the light-emitting structure is located on the outer periphery of the stove body, the light-emitting structure is a strip of light. When the first cooking cavity is closed, the strip of light is positioned opposite to the first door. This arrangement ensures the effectiveness and reliability of the light-emitting structure's illumination while reducing the amount of material used in the light-emitting structure, which helps to reduce the production cost of cooking appliances.

[0018] When the light-emitting structure is located on the outer periphery of the stove body, the light-emitting structure is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged around the circumference of the stove body. This setting increases the placement position of the light-emitting structure, enabling the stove body to emit light in multiple locations, allowing users to clearly observe the cooking utensils from multiple directions and angles. This increases the illumination range of the light-emitting structure, improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0019] When the light-emitting structure is located on the outer periphery of the cooktop body, the light-emitting structure includes multiple light-emitting elements, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cooktop body. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the cooktop body. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking utensils from multiple directions and angles, increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting structure and improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the light-emitting structure is disposed on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is in a closed state, the light-emitting structure is an annular light-emitting strip surrounding the first door, or the light-emitting structure is a strip light-emitting strip, or the light-emitting structure is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the first door, or the light-emitting structure includes multiple light-emitting elements, and the multiple light-emitting elements are arranged at intervals circumferentially along the first door.

[0021] In this technical solution, the shape of the light-emitting structure is further defined.

[0022] When the light-emitting structure is installed on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is closed, the light-emitting structure is an annular light-emitting strip surrounding the first door. That is, the light-emitting structure is arranged around the perimeter of the first door, which can achieve the effect of emitting light around the first door, enhance the light intensity illuminating the first cooking cavity, and allow users to effectively observe the cooking status of the food. At the same time, this structure can also increase the illumination range of the light-emitting structure, improve the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0023] When the light-emitting structure is installed on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is closed, the light-emitting structure is a strip light-emitting strip, which is positioned opposite to the first door. This arrangement ensures the effectiveness and reliability of the light-emitting structure's illumination while reducing the amount of material used in the light-emitting structure, which helps to reduce the production cost of the cooking appliance.

[0024] When the light-emitting structure is located on the cabinet assembly and the first cooking cavity is closed, the light-emitting structure is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the first door. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the stove body, allowing users to effectively observe the cooking status of the food, increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting structure, and improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0025] When the light-emitting structure is mounted on the housing assembly and the first cooking cavity is closed, the light-emitting structure includes multiple light-emitting elements arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first door. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the first door, allowing users to clearly observe the cooking utensils from multiple directions and angles. It also increases the illumination range of the light-emitting structure, enhancing the product's usability and market competitiveness.

[0026] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first outer peripheral wall of the stove body includes an inclined wall. When the first cooking cavity is in a closed state, the inclined wall is opposite to and spaced apart from the first door. The light-emitting structure is disposed on the inclined wall. Along the direction from the stove to the cabinet assembly, the inclined wall has a first end and a second end. The distance from the first end to the back plate of the cabinet assembly is greater than the distance from the second end to the back plate.

[0027] In this technical solution, the first outer peripheral wall of the stove body includes an inclined wall. When the first cooking cavity is in the closed state, the inclined wall is positioned opposite to the first door.

[0028] Along the direction from the cooktop to the cabinet assembly, the inclined wall has a first end and a second end, with the first end closer to the cooktop than the second end. The cabinet assembly includes a back panel, which is disposed opposite to the first door. Furthermore, the distance from the first end to the back panel of the cabinet assembly is greater than the distance from the second end to the back panel. That is, it defines the extension direction of the inclined wall.

[0029] The light-emitting structure is mounted on the inclined wall, which serves as the mounting carrier for the light-emitting structure, thus installing and fixing it. This arrangement defines the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure and the first door. The inclined wall also adjusts the propagation path of the light emitted by the light-emitting structure, increasing the area of ​​the light illuminating the first cooking cavity and providing structural support to ensure that the user can effectively observe the cooking status of the food.

[0030] Furthermore, when the first cooking cavity is closed, the inclined wall and the first door are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart, meaning there is a gap between them. This allows the inclined wall and the first door to form a gripping groove. The user's hand can grasp the first door through the gap between the inclined wall and the first door to drive the first door relative to the housing assembly. In other words, the inclined wall and the first door, when combined, form a handle for opening or closing the first door. This design avoids the need for an additional handle on the first door, reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance. Simultaneously, this structural design also prevents children from easily bumping into handles on the door panel.

[0031] In some technical solutions, the first outer peripheral wall of the stove body may optionally include a connecting wall, which is connected between the inclined wall and the stove plate, and extends along the direction from the stove to the cabinet assembly.

[0032] In this technical solution, the structure of the stove body is further defined.

[0033] The first outer peripheral wall of the stove body also includes a connecting wall, which connects the inclined wall and the stove plate. That is, the inclined wall is connected to the stove plate through the connecting wall. This design simplifies the processing difficulty of the stove, reduces the processing precision required, improves the processing efficiency of cooking utensils, and reduces the production cost of cooking utensils.

[0034] In some technical solutions, the first door body may optionally include a panel and a second outer peripheral wall, the second outer peripheral wall being connected to the side of the panel facing the housing assembly, and a portion of the second outer peripheral wall being recessed to form a handle.

[0035] In this technical solution, the structure of the first door body is further defined. The first door body includes a panel and a second outer peripheral wall, and the second outer peripheral wall is connected to the side of the panel facing the box assembly.

[0036] A portion of the second outer peripheral wall is recessed to form a handle. In other words, the structure of the second outer peripheral wall is rationally designed so that a portion of it forms a handle. The user's hand can grip the first door through the handle to drive the first door relative to the housing assembly. The handle serves to open and close the first door. The handle is not located on the panel of the first door, but rather on the outer peripheral wall of the first door. This design gives the first door a concealed handle, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

[0037] In some technical solutions, optionally, there is a gap between the handle and the stove.

[0038] In this technical solution, the fit structure between the handle and the stove is defined so that there is a gap between the handle and the stove, providing space for the user's hand to effectively reach into the handle, reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the first door and improving the ease of operation of the cooking appliance.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the first cooking cavity is in the closed state, the inclined wall is positioned opposite to the handle and encloses a concave structure.

[0040] In this technical solution, the fit structure between the handle and the inclined wall of the stove is defined.

[0041] When the first cooking chamber is closed, the inclined wall is positioned opposite the handle and encloses a concave structure. This design increases the clearance for the user's hand to reach into the handle, reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the first door and improving the ease of operation of the cooking appliance.

[0042] In addition, the inclined wall and the handle are arranged opposite to each other and form a concave structure. This structure allows the connection between the inclined wall and the handle to transition smoothly when the first cooking cavity is closed, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the cooking appliance.

[0043] In some technical solutions, the second outer peripheral wall may optionally include a connecting wall, with the handle connected between the panel and the connecting wall; when the first cooking cavity is in the closed state, the distance from the connecting wall to the stove plate is greater than the distance from the panel to the stove plate.

[0044] In this technical solution, the structure of the first door body is further defined. The second outer peripheral wall of the first door body also includes a connecting wall, and the handle is connected between the panel and the connecting wall.

[0045] When the first cooking chamber is closed, the distance from the connecting wall to the cooktop is greater than the distance from the panel to the cooktop. This ensures that when the cooking appliance is viewed from the front, the panel can conceal the handle located behind it, preventing the handle from protruding and further enhancing the appliance's aesthetic appeal.

[0046] Understandably, there is a gap between the handle and the cooktop; specifically, along the direction from the cooktop to the cabinet assembly, there is a gap between the handle and the cooktop. Furthermore, when the first cooking cavity is closed, the distance from the connecting wall to the cooktop is greater than the distance from the panel to the cooktop. This design satisfies both the need for the panel to cover the handle and the need for the user's hand to be able to effectively reach into the handle.

[0047] In some technical solutions, the second outer peripheral wall may optionally include a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other, with the handle extending from the first sidewall to the second sidewall.

[0048] In this technical solution, the structure of the first door body is further defined. The second outer peripheral wall also includes a first side wall and a second side wall, which are arranged opposite to each other. The handle extends from the first side wall to the second side wall. That is, the handle extends along the direction from the first side wall to the second side wall. This arrangement can reduce the processing difficulty of the first door body, improve the processing efficiency of the first door body, and reduce the production cost of the cooking appliance.

[0049] Meanwhile, the handle extends from the first side wall to the second side wall, which increases the number of positions where the handle can be placed, allowing users to reach into the handle from multiple positions, thus improving the convenience of using the cooking utensil.

[0050] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking appliance further includes: a controller, disposed in at least one of the housing assembly and the stove, the controller being electrically connected to the light-emitting structure, the controller being used to control the light-emitting color and / or light-emitting state of the light-emitting structure according to the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity; wherein, the light-emitting state includes any one or a combination of emitting light, extinguishing light, and flashing light.

[0051] In this technical solution, the structure of the cooking appliance is further defined, and the cooking appliance also includes a controller.

[0052] The controller is located in at least one of the cabinet assembly and the stove, that is, the controller is located in the cabinet assembly, or the controller is located in the stove, or a part of the controller is located in the cabinet assembly and another part of the controller is located in the stove.

[0053] The controller is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure and is used to control the light-emitting color and / or light-emitting state of the light-emitting structure according to the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity.

[0054] Taking the example of the controller controlling the light-emitting color of the light-emitting structure based on the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity, the light-emitting color of the light-emitting structure when the first cooking cavity is open differs from the light-emitting color when the first cooking cavity is closed. That is, the light-emitting color of the light-emitting structure is related to the state of the first cooking cavity. The light-emitting color of the light-emitting structure serves to indicate the open / closed state of the first door to the user. For example, when the first door is opened, making the first cooking cavity open, the controller controls the light-emitting structure to switch to a brighter color (e.g., warm white light) so that the user can clearly observe the cooking status of the food. When the first door is closed, making the first cooking cavity closed, the controller controls the light-emitting structure to switch to a lower color (e.g., blue light) to reduce the energy consumption of the cooking appliance while still providing illumination. Simultaneously, when the cooking appliance is in an erroneous operating state, the user can also promptly understand this through the light-emitting color of the light-emitting structure, providing structural support for ensuring the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance.

[0055] Taking the example of the controller controlling the illumination state of the light-emitting structure based on the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity, the illumination state of the light-emitting structure when the first cooking cavity is open differs from that when the first cooking cavity is closed. That is, the illumination state of the light-emitting structure is related to the state of the first cooking cavity. The illumination state of the light-emitting structure serves to indicate the opening and closing status of the first door to the user. For example, when the first door is opened, making the first cooking cavity open, the controller controls the illumination state of the light-emitting structure to illuminate, allowing the user to clearly observe the cooking status of the food. When the first door is closed, making the first cooking cavity closed, the controller controls the illumination state of the light-emitting structure to flash, thus reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance while providing illumination. Simultaneously, when the cooking appliance is in an erroneous operating state, the user can also promptly understand this through the illumination state of the light-emitting structure, providing structural support for ensuring the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance.

[0056] Because the light-emitting structure can emit light, even if the user is far away from the cooking appliance, they can still understand the current cooking status of the appliance by observing the color and / or state of the light emitted by the structure. This prevents the user from being confined to the area around the appliance, thus further improving the performance of the cooking appliance.

[0057] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cabinet assembly includes: a cabinet; a first loading component, which is slidably disposed in the cabinet, a first door connected to the first loading component, and the first loading component having a first loading slot; when the first loading component is located inside the cabinet, the cabinet and the first loading component enclose a first cooking cavity.

[0058] In this technical solution, the structure of the housing assembly is defined.

[0059] The enclosure assembly includes the enclosure itself and a first loading component. A first door is connected to the first loading component, and the first loading component can be moved relative to the enclosure by pushing or pulling it with a handle on the first door. That is, the first door is a pull-out type.

[0060] When the first door is pushed towards the box until the first object is inside the box, the box and the first object enclose the first cooking cavity.

[0061] When the first door is pulled away from the main unit, the first container is exposed. As you can understand, the food is placed in the first slot of the first container; when the first door is pulled out, the food is removed from the main unit along with the first container. Users can observe the cooking process of the food with a single, simple operation, without having to bend over. Furthermore, adding ingredients, seasonings, or flipping food can be done directly on the first container without removing the food. This design improves the convenience of cooking and enhances the usability of the cooking appliance.

[0062] In some technical solutions, the cooking appliance may optionally include a sliding structure, wherein the first loading component and the housing are slidably connected by the sliding structure; the sliding structure includes a groove and a slider, one of which is disposed inside the housing and the other is disposed on the outer surface of the first loading component, and the slider is capable of sliding along the groove.

[0063] In this technical solution, the structure of the cooking utensil is further defined.

[0064] The cooking appliance also includes a sliding structure, through which the first load and the housing are slidably connected.

[0065] The sliding structure includes a groove and a slider, one of which is located inside the housing and the other is located on the outer surface of the first load.

[0066] Specifically, the slide is located inside the box, and the slider is located on the outer surface of the first object, and the slider can slide along the slide.

[0067] Specifically, the slider is located inside the box, and the slide groove is located on the outer surface of the first object, allowing the slider to slide along the slide groove.

[0068] This design allows the first item to slide smoothly relative to the box when the first door is pushed or pulled, ensuring a smooth operating feel and preventing jamming, thus enabling the first item to move smoothly relative to the box.

[0069] In some technical solutions, optionally, there are multiple sliding structures, including two first sliding structures; along the direction perpendicular to the stove to the cabinet assembly, the first load is located between the two first sliding structures.

[0070] In this technical solution, the number and arrangement of sliding structures are limited.

[0071] There are multiple sliding structures, which are categorized into several types. These multiple sliding structures include two first sliding structures. Along a direction perpendicular to the stovetop to the cabinet assembly, the first load-bearing component is located between the two first sliding structures.

[0072] That is, the two first sliding structures are located on opposite sides of the first object carrier.

[0073] In this way, when the first door is pushed and pulled to achieve the purpose of pushing and pulling the first object, the two first sliding structures increase the contact area and the number of contact positions of the first object relative to the box, which can ensure the balance and consistency of the force on the first object, ensure the smoothness of the first object relative to the box, and prevent the first object from getting stuck in a certain place in the box.

[0074] In some technical solutions, optionally, the multiple sliding structures also include a second sliding structure, which is located below the first load-bearing component along the direction from the stove to the cabinet assembly.

[0075] In this technical solution, the types of multiple sliding structures are further categorized. These multiple sliding structures include two first sliding structures and a second sliding structure. Along the direction perpendicular to the stovetop to the cabinet assembly, the first load-bearing component is located between the two first sliding structures. Along the direction from the stovetop to the cabinet assembly, the second sliding structure is located below the first load-bearing component.

[0076] That is, two first sliding structures support the first object on opposite sides of the first object, and a second sliding structure supports the first object at the bottom.

[0077] In this way, when the first door is pushed and pulled to achieve the purpose of pushing and pulling the first object, the two first sliding structures and the second sliding structure increase the contact area and the number of contact positions of the first object relative to the box, which can ensure the balance and consistency of the force on the first object, ensure the smoothness of the first object relative to the box, and prevent the first object from getting stuck in a certain place in the box.

[0078] In other words, the two first sliding structures and the second sliding structure work together to increase the load-bearing capacity of the first load-bearing component and enhance the smoothness of pushing and pulling the first load-bearing component.

[0079] In some technical solutions, the cabinet may optionally have an opening through which the first item is slidably mounted; when the first cooking cavity is closed, the first door is fitted against the portion of the cabinet located around the opening.

[0080] In this technical solution, the matching structure between the first door and the box is further defined.

[0081] The box also has an opening, through which the first item can be pushed and pulled into the box.

[0082] When the first cooking chamber is closed, the first door is fitted against the portion of the housing located around the opening. That is, the first door not only blocks the opening, but also fits snugly against the portion of the housing around the opening. In other words, the sidewall of the first door is located around the periphery of the opening. This effectively seals the opening, preventing gas from leaking into the environment through the connection between the opening and the first door, thus ensuring optimal cooking results.

[0083] In some technical solutions, the first door is optionally rotatably connected to the housing assembly, and the first door can be flipped relative to the housing assembly.

[0084] In this technical solution, the mating structure of the first door and the housing assembly is defined, allowing the first door to be rotatably connected to the housing assembly and enabling the first door to be flipped relative to the housing assembly. In other words, the first cooking cavity can be opened or closed by flipping the first door. This design saves space and reduces the overall space occupied by the appliance while ensuring its performance.

[0085] In some technical solutions, optionally, the housing assembly also includes a second cooking cavity, with the first cooking cavity located between the second cooking cavity and the stove; the cooking appliance also includes a second door, which is movable relative to the housing assembly and is used to open or close the second cooking cavity.

[0086] In this technical solution, the structure of the cooking utensil is defined.

[0087] The housing assembly also includes a second cooking chamber, and the cooking appliance further includes a second door that is movable relative to the housing assembly. The second door is used to open or close the second cooking chamber. The first cooking chamber is located between the second cooking chamber and the cooktop. Both the first and second cooking chambers are used for cooking food, allowing for the cooking of large quantities of food at once, the cooking of different types of food in both chambers, and the use of different cooking methods in both chambers. This design meets diverse user needs and enhances product performance and market competitiveness.

[0088] In some technical solutions, the second door is optionally rotatably connected to the housing assembly, and the second door can be flipped relative to the housing assembly.

[0089] This technical solution defines the mating structure between the second door and the housing assembly. This allows the second door to be rotatably connected to the housing assembly, and the second door can be flipped relative to the housing assembly. In other words, the second cooking cavity can be opened or closed by flipping the second door. This design saves space and reduces the overall space occupied by the appliance while ensuring its performance.

[0090] In some technical solutions, the housing assembly may optionally include a second loading component, which is slidably disposed in the housing of the housing assembly. A second door is connected to the second loading component, and the second loading component is provided with a second loading slot.

[0091] In this technical solution, the structure of the housing assembly is defined.

[0092] The enclosure assembly includes the enclosure itself and a second loading component. A second door is connected to the second loading component, allowing the second loading component to move relative to the enclosure by pushing or pulling it. In other words, the second door is a pull-out type.

[0093] When the second door is pushed towards the box until the second object is inside the box, the box and the second object enclose the second cooking cavity.

[0094] When the second door is pulled away from the main unit, the second container is exposed. As you can understand, the food is placed in the second compartment of the second container; when the second door is pulled out, the food is removed from the main unit along with the second container. Users can observe the cooking process of the food with a single, simple operation, without having to bend over. Furthermore, adding ingredients, seasonings, or flipping food can be done directly on the second container without removing the food. This design improves the convenience of cooking and enhances the usability of the cooking appliance.

Detailed Implementation

[0104] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0105] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0106] The cooking appliance 10 of some embodiments of this application is described below with reference to Figures 1 to 6.

[0107] As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, a cooking appliance 10 according to some embodiments of this application includes a housing assembly 100, a first door 200, a cooktop 300 and a light-emitting structure 400.

[0108] The housing assembly 100 is provided with a first cooking cavity 110.

[0109] The first door 200 is movable relative to the housing assembly 100 and is used to open or close the first cooking cavity 110.

[0110] The stove 300 is located on one side of the cabinet assembly 100.

[0111] The stove 300 includes a stove plate 310 and a stove body 320.

[0112] The stove body 320 is located between the stove plate 310 and the cabinet assembly 100.

[0113] The light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, and / or the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the housing assembly 100.

[0114] When the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in a closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is positioned opposite to the first door 200.

[0115] When the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the periphery of the first door 200.

[0116] The cooking appliance 10 provided in this application includes a housing assembly 100, a first door 200, a stove 300, and a light-emitting structure 400.

[0117] The stove 300 is located on one side of the housing assembly 100. Specifically, along the height direction of the cooking appliance 10, the stove 300 is located above the housing assembly 100. The housing assembly 100 has the function of raising the installation height of the stove 300 to match the user's height, so that the user can cook with the stove 300 at an appropriate height.

[0118] The first door 200 is movable relative to the housing assembly 100, and the first door 200 has the function of opening or closing the first cooking cavity 110.

[0119] The light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on at least one of the cooktop body 320 and the housing assembly 100. That is, at least one of the cooktop body 320 and the housing assembly 100 serves as the mounting carrier for the light-emitting structure 400, and has the function of installing and fixing the light-emitting structure 400. The light-emitting structure 400 emits light when it is working, thus enriching the display performance of the cooking appliance 10's appearance, having a decorative effect, and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the cooking appliance 10. When using the cooking appliance 10 at night or in a dimly lit indoor environment, the user can clearly observe the current cooking status of the food in the first cooking cavity 110 solely through the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 without turning on indoor lights, providing structural support for the user to effectively cook the food. Specifically, the user can open the first door 200 and observe the cooking status of the food through the light-emitting structure 400. Specifically, at least a portion of the first door 200 is a light-transmitting part, allowing the user to observe the cooking status of the food through the light-transmitting part and the light-emitting structure 400 without opening the first door 200. Meanwhile, in nighttime or in low-light indoor environments, the light-emitting structure 400 can emit light, functioning as an ambient light. The light-emitting structure 400 can provide illumination without the user turning on indoor lights, enriching the functionality of the cooking appliance 10 and enhancing its performance and market competitiveness.

[0120] When the light-emitting structure 400 is mounted on the cooktop body 320, it is located on the outer periphery of the cooktop body 320. When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is positioned opposite the first door 200. That is, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the front of the cooking appliance 10, allowing the user to directly see the light-emitting structure 400 from the front. Furthermore, by defining the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure 400 and the first door 200, the positional relationship between the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 and the first door 200 can be ensured, providing structural support for observing food through the light-emitting structure 400.

[0121] When the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the periphery of the first door 200. That is, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the front of the cooking appliance 10, and the user can directly see the light-emitting structure 400 from the front. At the same time, by defining the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure 400 and the first door 200, the positional relationship between the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400 and the first door 200 can be guaranteed, providing structural support for observing the food through the light-emitting structure 400.

[0122] For example, along the direction from the stove 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the outer periphery of the stove body 320 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in a closed state, at least a portion of the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed opposite to the first door 200.

[0123] In some embodiments, optionally, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is an annular light-emitting strip disposed around the stove body 320.

[0124] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4, when the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is a strip-shaped light-emitting band.

[0125] Alternatively, when the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the stove body 320.

[0126] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 5, when the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 includes a plurality of light-emitting elements 410, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the stove body 320.

[0127] In this embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting structure 400 is further defined.

[0128] When the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is a ring-shaped light-emitting band surrounding the stove body 320. That is, the light-emitting structure 400 is arranged around the stove body 320, which can achieve the effect of circumferential light display of the stove body 320. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking utensils 10 from multiple directions and angles, increases the lighting range of the light-emitting structure 400, and improves the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0129] When the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is a strip of light. When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the strip of light is positioned opposite to the first door 200. This arrangement ensures the effectiveness and reliability of the illumination of the light-emitting structure 400 while reducing the amount of material used in the light-emitting structure 400, which helps to reduce the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0130] When the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the stove body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the stove body 320. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure 400, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the stove body 320. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking appliance 10 from multiple directions and angles, increases the illumination range of the light-emitting structure 400, and enhances the product's usability and market competitiveness.

[0131] When the light-emitting structure 400 is located on the outer periphery of the cooktop body 320, the light-emitting structure 400 includes multiple light-emitting elements 410, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cooktop body 320. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure 400, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the cooktop body 320. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking appliance 10 from multiple directions and angles, increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting structure 400 and improving the product's usability and market competitiveness. As shown in Figure 1, the circumference of the cooktop body 320 is referred to as the first circumference.

[0132] In some embodiments, optionally, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in a closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is an annular light-emitting strip disposed around the first door 200.

[0133] Alternatively, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is a strip of light.

[0134] Alternatively, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in a closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the first door 200.

[0135] Alternatively, when the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in a closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 includes a plurality of light-emitting elements 410, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first door 200.

[0136] In this embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting structure 400 is further defined.

[0137] When the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is an annular light-emitting strip surrounding the first door 200. That is, the light-emitting structure 400 is arranged around the first door 200, which can achieve the effect of emitting light around the first door 200, enhance the light intensity illuminating the first cooking cavity 110, and allow users to effectively observe the cooking status of the food. At the same time, this structure can also increase the illumination range of the light-emitting structure 400, improve the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0138] When the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is a strip light-emitting strip, which is disposed opposite to the first door 200. This arrangement can reduce the amount of material used in the light-emitting structure 400 while ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the illumination of the light-emitting structure 400, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0139] When the light-emitting structure 400 is installed on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the light-emitting structure 400 is a groove-shaped light-emitting strip arranged circumferentially along the first door 200. This setting increases the installation position of the light-emitting structure 400, which can achieve the effect of more than 320 light-emitting displays on the stove body, allowing users to effectively observe the cooking status of the food, increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting structure 400, and improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.

[0140] When the light-emitting structure 400 is mounted on the housing assembly 100 and the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the light-emitting structure 400 includes multiple light-emitting elements 410, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first door 200. This arrangement increases the placement of the light-emitting structure 400, enabling multiple light-emitting displays on the first door 200. This allows users to clearly observe the cooking appliance 10 from multiple directions and angles, increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting structure 400 and improving the product's usability and market competitiveness. As shown in Figure 1, the circumference of the first door 200 is referred to as the second circumference.

[0141] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the first outer peripheral wall 322 of the stove body 320 may optionally include an inclined wall 3222.

[0142] When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the inclined wall 3222 is opposite to and spaced apart from the first door 200, and the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the inclined wall 3222.

[0143] Along the direction from the stovetop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the inclined wall 3222 has a first end 3224 and a second end 3226. The distance from the first end 3224 to the back plate 120 of the cabinet assembly 100 is greater than the distance from the second end 3226 to the back plate 120.

[0144] In this embodiment, the first outer peripheral wall 322 of the stove body 320 includes an inclined wall 3222. When the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the inclined wall 3222 is disposed opposite to the first door 200.

[0145] Along the direction from the cooktop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the inclined wall 3222 has a first end 3224 and a second end 3226, with the first end 3224 being closer to the cooktop 310 than the second end 3226. The cabinet assembly 100 includes a back panel 120, which is disposed opposite to the first door 200. Furthermore, the distance from the first end 3224 to the back panel 120 of the cabinet assembly 100 is greater than the distance from the second end 3226 to the back panel 120. That is, it defines the extension direction of the inclined wall 3222.

[0146] The light-emitting structure 400 is mounted on the inclined wall 3222, which serves as a mounting carrier for the light-emitting structure 400, and has the function of mounting and fixing the light-emitting structure 400. This arrangement can define the positional relationship between the light-emitting structure 400 and the first door 200. The inclined wall 3222 can adjust the propagation path of the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 400, and can increase the area of ​​the light illuminating the first cooking cavity 110, providing structural support to ensure that the user can effectively observe the cooking status of the food.

[0147] Furthermore, when the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the inclined wall 3222 is positioned opposite and spaced apart from the first door 200, meaning there is a gap between the inclined wall 3222 and the first door 200, thus forming a grip groove. The user's hand can grasp the first door 200 through the gap between the inclined wall 3222 and the first door 200 to drive the first door 200 relative to the housing assembly 100. In other words, the inclined wall 3222 and the first door 200 cooperate to form a handle, serving to open or close the first door 200. This design avoids the need for an additional handle on the first door 200, reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10. Simultaneously, this structural design also prevents children from easily bumping into handles on the door panel.

[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first outer peripheral wall 322 of the stove body 320 may optionally include a connecting wall 3228.

[0149] Connecting wall 3228 is connected between inclined wall 3222 and stove plate 310.

[0150] The connecting wall 3228 extends along the direction from the stove 300 to the cabinet assembly 100.

[0151] In this embodiment, the structure of the stove body 320 is further defined.

[0152] The first outer peripheral wall 322 of the stove body 320 also includes a connecting wall 3228, which connects the inclined wall 3222 and the stove plate 310. That is, the inclined wall 3222 is connected to the stove plate 310 through the connecting wall 3228. This arrangement simplifies the processing difficulty of the stove 300, reduces the processing precision of the stove 300, improves the processing efficiency of the cooking utensil 10, and reduces the production cost of the cooking utensil 10.

[0153] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the first door 200 may optionally include a panel 210 and a second outer peripheral wall 220.

[0154] The second outer peripheral wall 220 is connected to the side of the panel 210 facing the housing assembly 100.

[0155] A portion of the second outer peripheral wall 220 is recessed to form a handle 222.

[0156] In this embodiment, the structure of the first door 200 is further defined. The first door 200 includes a panel 210 and a second outer peripheral wall 220, which is connected to the side of the panel 210 facing the housing assembly 100.

[0157] A portion of the second outer peripheral wall 220 is recessed to form a handle 222. That is, the structure of the second outer peripheral wall 220 is rationally designed so that a portion of the second outer peripheral wall 220 forms a handle 222. The user's hand can grip the first door 200 through the handle 222 to drive the first door 200 to move relative to the housing assembly 100. The handle 222 serves to open and close the first door 200. The handle 222 is not located on the panel 210 of the first door 200, but rather on the outer peripheral wall of the first door 200. This design gives the first door 200 a concealed handle, which improves the aesthetics of the first door 200.

[0158] In some embodiments, the handle 222 may have a gap with the cooktop 300.

[0159] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the handle 222 and the stove 300 is defined so that there is a gap between the handle 222 and the stove 300, providing space for the user's hand to effectively reach into the handle 222, reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the first door 200 and improving the ease of operation of the cooking appliance 10.

[0160] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in FIG1, when the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, the inclined wall 3222 is disposed opposite to the handle 222 and encloses the concave structure 500.

[0161] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the handle 222 and the inclined wall 3222 of the stove 300 is defined.

[0162] When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the inclined wall 3222 and the handle 222 are positioned opposite each other and enclose a concave structure 500. This arrangement increases the clearance for the user's hand to reach into the handle 222, reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the first door 200 and improving the ease of operation of the cooking appliance 10.

[0163] In addition, the inclined wall 3222 and the handle 222 are arranged opposite to each other and enclose a concave structure 500. This structure allows the connection between the inclined wall 3222 and the handle 222 to transition smoothly when the first cooking cavity 110 is in the closed state, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the cooking utensil 10.

[0164] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the second outer peripheral wall 220 may optionally include a connecting wall 224.

[0165] The handle 222 is connected between the panel 210 and the connecting wall 224.

[0166] When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the distance from the connecting wall 224 to the stove plate 310 is greater than the distance from the panel 210 to the stove plate 310.

[0167] In this embodiment, the structure of the first door 200 is further defined. The second outer peripheral wall 220 of the first door 200 also includes a connecting wall 224, and the handle 222 is connected between the panel 210 and the connecting wall 224.

[0168] When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the distance from the connecting wall 224 to the cooktop 310 is greater than the distance from the panel 210 to the cooktop 310. Thus, when the cooking appliance 10 is viewed from the front, the panel 210 can conceal the handle 222 located behind the panel 210, preventing the handle 222 from protruding from the panel 210 and further enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the cooking appliance 10.

[0169] Understandably, there is a gap between the handle 222 and the cooktop 300. Specifically, along the direction from the cooktop 300 to the housing assembly 100, there is a gap between the handle 222 and the cooktop 300. Furthermore, when the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the distance from the connecting wall 224 to the cooktop plate 310 is greater than the distance from the panel 210 to the cooktop plate 310. This arrangement satisfies both the need for the panel 210 to cover the handle 222 and the need for the user's hand to be able to effectively reach into the handle 222.

[0170] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the second outer peripheral wall 220 may optionally include a first sidewall 226 and a second sidewall 228 disposed opposite to each other.

[0171] The handle 222 extends from the first side wall 226 to the second side wall 228.

[0172] In this embodiment, the structure of the first door 200 is further defined. The second outer peripheral wall 220 also includes a first side wall 226 and a second side wall 228, which are disposed opposite to each other. A handle 222 extends from the first side wall 226 to the second side wall 228. That is, the handle 222 extends along the direction from the first side wall 226 to the second side wall 228. This arrangement can reduce the processing difficulty of the first door 200, which is beneficial to improving the processing efficiency of the first door 200 and reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0173] Meanwhile, the handle 222 extends from the first side wall 226 to the second side wall 228. This arrangement increases the placement of the handle 222, allowing users to insert the handle 222 from multiple positions, which improves the ease of use of the cooking utensil 10.

[0174] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in FIG2, the cooking appliance 10 also includes a controller 600.

[0175] The controller 600 is located in at least one of the housing assembly 100 and the cooktop 300.

[0176] The controller 600 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 400. The controller 600 is used to control the light-emitting color and / or light-emitting state of the light-emitting structure 400 according to the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity 110.

[0177] The luminous state includes any one or a combination of luminous, extinguished, and flashing states.

[0178] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined, and the cooking appliance 10 also includes a controller 600.

[0179] The controller 600 is located in at least one of the housing assembly 100 and the stove 300, that is, the controller 600 is located in the housing assembly 100, or the controller 600 is located in the stove 300, or a part of the controller 600 is located in the housing assembly 100 and another part of the controller 600 is located in the stove 300.

[0180] The controller 600 is electrically connected to the light-emitting structure 400. The controller 600 is used to control the light-emitting color and / or light-emitting state of the light-emitting structure 400 according to the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity 110.

[0181] For example, consider the controller 600 controlling the light-emitting structure 400's light color based on the open / closed state of the first cooking cavity 110. The light color of the light-emitting structure 400 when the first cooking cavity 110 is open differs from the light color when the first cooking cavity 110 is closed. That is, the light color of the light-emitting structure 400 is related to the state of the first cooking cavity 110. The light color of the light-emitting structure 400 serves to indicate the open / closed state of the first door 200 to the user. For example, when the first door 200 is opened, causing the first cooking cavity 110 to be open, the controller 600 controls the light-emitting structure 400 to switch to a brighter color (e.g., warm white light) so that the user can clearly observe the cooking status of the food. When the first door 200 is closed, causing the first cooking cavity 110 to be closed, the controller 600 controls the light-emitting structure 400 to switch to a lower color (e.g., blue light) to reduce the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 10 while still providing illumination. At the same time, when the cooking appliance 10 is in an erroneous working state, the user can also promptly understand the situation through the light emission color of the light-emitting structure 400, providing structural support for ensuring the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance 10.

[0182] For example, the controller 600 controls the illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 according to the opening and closing state of the first cooking cavity 110. The illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 when the first cooking cavity 110 is open differs from its illumination state when the first cooking cavity 110 is closed. That is, the illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 is related to the state of the first cooking cavity 110. The illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 serves to indicate the opening and closing state of the first door 200 to the user. For example, when the first door 200 is opened, causing the first cooking cavity 110 to be open, the controller 600 controls the illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 to switch to full illumination, allowing the user to clearly observe the cooking status of the food. When the first door 200 is closed, causing the first cooking cavity 110 to be closed, the controller 600 controls the illumination state of the light-emitting structure 400 to switch to flashing, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 10 while providing illumination. At the same time, when the cooking appliance 10 is in an erroneous working state, the user can also promptly understand the situation through the light-emitting structure 400, providing structural support for ensuring the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance 10.

[0183] Since the light-emitting structure 400 can emit light, even if the user is far away from the cooking appliance 10, they can still understand the current cooking status of the cooking appliance 10 by the light color and / or light state of the light-emitting structure 400. This prevents the user from being confined to the area around the cooking appliance 10, thus further improving the usability of the cooking appliance 10.

[0184] It is understood that the installation location of the controller 600 may include, but is not limited to, the location shown in Figure 2, a location on the stove 300, or another location within the housing 130.

[0185] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the housing assembly 100 may optionally include a housing 130 and a first loading member 140.

[0186] The first load 140 is mounted on the box 130 in a push-pull manner.

[0187] The first door 200 is connected to the first loading component 140.

[0188] The first loading component 140 is provided with a first loading slot 142.

[0189] When the first object 140 is located inside the box 130, the box 130 and the first object 140 enclose the first cooking cavity 110.

[0190] In this embodiment, the structure of the housing assembly 100 is defined.

[0191] The cabinet assembly 100 includes a cabinet 130 and a first loading component 140. A first door 200 is connected to the first loading component 140, and the first loading component 140 can be pushed or pulled relative to the cabinet 130 via a handle 222 on the first door 200. That is, the first door 200 is a pull-out type door.

[0192] When the first door 200 is pushed toward the box 130 until the first object 140 is inside the box 130, the box 130 and the first object 140 enclose the first cooking cavity 110.

[0193] When the first door 200 is pulled away from the housing 130, the first container 140 is exposed outside the housing 130. It is understood that the food is placed in the first storage slot 142 of the first container 140. When the first door 200 is pulled out, the food is pulled out of the housing 130 along with the first container 140. The user can observe the cooking status of the food without bending over, requiring only one operation. Furthermore, if it is necessary to add food, seasonings, or flip the food, this can be done directly on the first container 140 without removing the food. This design improves the convenience of cooking food and enhances the usability of the cooking appliance 10.

[0194] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the cooking appliance 10 may optionally include a sliding structure 700.

[0195] The first loading component 140 and the box 130 are slidably connected by a sliding structure 700.

[0196] The sliding structure 700 includes a groove 710 and a slider 720.

[0197] One of the slide 710 and the slider 720 is located inside the housing 130, and the other is located on the outer surface of the first loading member 140.

[0198] The slider 720 can slide along the groove 710.

[0199] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking utensil 10 is further defined.

[0200] The cooking appliance 10 also includes a sliding structure 700, through which the first load 140 and the housing 130 are slidably connected.

[0201] The sliding structure 700 includes a groove 710 and a slider 720, one of which is located inside the housing 130 and the other is located on the outer surface of the first carrier 140.

[0202] Specifically, the slide groove 710 is located inside the housing 130, and the slider 720 is located on the outer surface of the first carrier 140. The slider 720 can slide along the slide groove 710.

[0203] Specifically, the slider 720 is disposed inside the housing 130, and the slide groove 710 is disposed on the outer surface of the first carrier 140, and the slider 720 can slide along the slide groove 710.

[0204] This design allows the first loading component 140 to slide smoothly relative to the box 130 when the first door 200 is pushed or pulled, ensuring a smooth operating feel and preventing jamming. This allows the first loading component 140 to move smoothly relative to the box 130.

[0205] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the number of sliding structures 700 may be multiple, and the multiple sliding structures 700 may include two first sliding structures 700a.

[0206] Along the direction perpendicular to the stovetop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100.

[0207] The first object 140 is located between the two first sliding structures 700a.

[0208] In this embodiment, the number and arrangement of the sliding structures 700 are limited.

[0209] There are multiple sliding structures 700, and these multiple sliding structures 700 are classified into different types. The multiple sliding structures 700 include two first sliding structures 700a. Along the direction perpendicular to the stove 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the first load-bearing component 140 is located between the two first sliding structures 700a.

[0210] That is, the two first sliding structures 700a are located on opposite sides of the first carrier 140.

[0211] In this way, when the first door 200 is pushed and pulled to achieve the purpose of pushing and pulling the first object 140, the two first sliding structures 700a increase the contact area of ​​the first object 140 relative to the box 130 and increase the contact positions of the first object 140 relative to the box 130. This can ensure the balance and consistency of the force on the first object 140, ensure the smoothness of the first object 140 relative to the box 130, and prevent the first object 140 from getting stuck in a certain place in the box 130.

[0212] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the plurality of sliding structures 700 may optionally include a second sliding structure 700b.

[0213] Along the direction from the stovetop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the second sliding structure 700b is located below the first load-bearing component 140.

[0214] In this embodiment, the types of the plurality of sliding structures 700 are further categorized. The plurality of sliding structures 700 includes two first sliding structures 700a and a second sliding structure 700b. Along the direction perpendicular to the stovetop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the first loading member 140 is located between the two first sliding structures 700a. Along the direction from the stovetop 300 to the cabinet assembly 100, the second sliding structure 700b is located below the first loading member 140.

[0215] That is, two first sliding structures 700a support the first carrier 140 on opposite sides of the first carrier 140, and the second sliding structure 700b supports the first carrier 140 at the bottom.

[0216] In this way, when the first door 200 is pushed and pulled to achieve the purpose of pushing and pulling the first object 140, the two first sliding structures 700a and the second sliding structure 700b increase the contact area of ​​the first object 140 relative to the box 130 and increase the number of contact positions of the first object 140 relative to the box 130. This can ensure the balance and consistency of the force on the first object 140, ensure the smoothness of the first object 140 relative to the box 130, and prevent the first object 140 from getting stuck in a certain place in the box 130.

[0217] In other words, the two first sliding structures 700a and the second sliding structure 700b work together to increase the load-bearing capacity of the first load-bearing component 140 and enhance the smoothness of pushing and pulling the first load-bearing component 140.

[0218] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the housing 130 may optionally be provided with an opening 150, through which the first object 140 is slidably disposed in the housing 130.

[0219] When the first cooking cavity 110 is closed, the first door 200 and the portion of the housing 130 located around the opening 150 are fitted together.

[0220] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first door 200 and the box 130 is further defined.

[0221] The box 130 is also provided with an opening 150, through which the first object 140 can be pushed and pulled into the box 130.

[0222] When the first cooking chamber 110 is closed, the first door 200 is fitted against the portion of the housing 130 located around the opening 150. That is, the first door 200 not only blocks the opening 150, but also fits against the portion of the housing 130 located around the opening 150. In other words, the sidewall of the first door 200 is located around the opening wall of the opening 150. This effectively seals the opening 150, preventing gas from leaking into the environment through the connection between the opening 150 and the first door 200, thus ensuring the optimal cooking effect.

[0223] In some embodiments, the first door 200 is optionally rotatably connected to the housing assembly 100, and the first door 200 is capable of flipping relative to the housing assembly 100.

[0224] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first door 200 and the housing assembly 100 is defined such that the first door 200 is rotatably connected to the housing assembly 100, and the first door 200 can be flipped relative to the housing assembly 100. That is, the first cooking cavity 110 can be opened or closed by flipping the first door 200. This design ensures the usability of the cooking appliance 10 while saving space and reducing the overall space occupancy of the appliance.

[0225] In some embodiments, optionally as shown in Figures 1 and 6, the housing assembly 100 further includes a second cooking cavity 160, with the first cooking cavity 110 located between the second cooking cavity 160 and the cooktop 300. The cooking appliance 10 also includes a second door 800, which is movable relative to the housing assembly 100 and is used to open or close the second cooking cavity 160.

[0226] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking utensil 10 is defined.

[0227] The housing assembly 100 also includes a second cooking chamber 160, and the cooking appliance 10 further includes a second door 800, which is movable relative to the housing assembly 100. The second door 800 is used to open or close the second cooking chamber 160. A first cooking chamber 110 is located between the second cooking chamber 160 and the stovetop 300. Both the first cooking chamber 110 and the second cooking chamber 160 are used for cooking food. This allows for the cooking of large quantities of food at once, the cooking of different types of food, and the use of different cooking methods in both chambers. This design meets diverse user needs and enhances product performance and market competitiveness.

[0228] For example, there is one second cooking cavity 160 and one second door body 800.

[0229] For example, there are multiple second cooking cavities 160 and second doors 800, with each second cooking cavity 160 used in conjunction with a second door 800.

[0230] In some embodiments, the second door 800 is optionally rotatably connected to the housing assembly 100, and the second door 800 is capable of flipping relative to the housing assembly 100.

[0231] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the second door 800 and the housing assembly 100 is defined. This allows the second door 800 to be rotatably connected to the housing assembly 100, and the second door 800 can be flipped relative to the housing assembly 100. In other words, the second cooking cavity 160 can be opened or closed by flipping the second door 800. This design ensures the usability of the cooking appliance 10 while saving space and reducing the overall space occupancy of the appliance.

[0232] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the housing assembly 100 may optionally include a second loading element 900.

[0233] The second load 900 is slidably disposed in the housing 130 of the housing assembly 100.

[0234] The second door 800 is connected to the second loading component 900.

[0235] The second loading component 900 is provided with a second loading slot 910.

[0236] In this embodiment, the structure of the housing assembly 100 is defined.

[0237] The cabinet assembly 100 includes a cabinet 130 and a second loading component 900. A second door 800 is connected to the second loading component 900, and the second loading component 900 can be moved relative to the cabinet 130 by pushing or pulling the second door 800. That is, the second door 800 is a pull-out door.

[0238] When the second door 800 is pushed toward the box 130 until the second container 900 is inside the box 130, the box 130 and the second container 900 enclose the second cooking cavity 160.

[0239] When the second door 800 is pulled away from the housing 130, the second container 900 is exposed outside the housing 130. It is understood that food is placed in the second storage slot 910 of the second container 900. When the second door 800 is pulled out, the food is pulled out of the housing 130 along with the second container 900. Users can observe the cooking status of the food with a single operation, without bending over. Furthermore, adding ingredients, seasonings, or flipping food can be done directly on the second container 900 without removing the food. This design improves the convenience of cooking and enhances the usability of the cooking appliance 10.

[0240] It is understandable that when the second cooking cavity 160 is in the closed state, the area enclosed by the second loading slot 910 forms part of the space of the second cooking cavity 160.

[0241] For example, the cooking appliance 10 also includes a cooking structure, which includes a microwave generator, a heating element, and a steam generator, etc., which are not listed here. The first cooking cavity 110 is connected to the cooking structure. The second cooking cavity 160 is connected to the cooking structure.

[0242] For example, the second door 800 is also provided with a handle 222 having the same structure as the first door 200. When the second door 800 is provided with the handle 222 and both the first cooking cavity 110 and the second cooking cavity 160 are in the closed state, the second door 800 and the first door 200 have a gap in the direction of the stove 300 and the cabinet assembly 100, so as to facilitate pushing and pulling the second door 800.

[0243] For example, the cooking appliance 10 includes a housing assembly 100, a first door 200, a cooktop 300, and a light-emitting structure 400. The cooktop 300 includes a cooktop plate 310 and a cooktop body 320. The first outer peripheral wall 322 of the cooktop body 320 includes an inclined wall 3222, and the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the inclined wall 3222. The second outer peripheral wall 220 of the first door 200 is provided with a handle 222. The inclined wall 3222 is part of the cooktop 300. Specifically, a portion of the first outer peripheral wall 322 of the cooktop body 320 is recessed inward to form the inclined wall 3222, and the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the inclined wall 3222. The cooktop 300 is fixed to the top surface of the housing assembly 100 by screws. The first door 200 is fixed to the sliders 720 of the two first sliding structures 700a and the second sliding structure 700b by screws. The three sliders 720 are located on the left, right, and bottom of the first load-bearing component 140, respectively, to ensure load-bearing capacity and smooth pulling. The handle 222 is a sloping concealed structure and is part of the first door 200, located on the top surface of the first door 200. The inclined wall 3222 and the handle 222 of the first door 200 enclose a concave structure 500, which serves as the handle position. By pulling out the handle position, the first door 200 and the first load-bearing component 140 can be pulled out along the slide groove 710, forming a pull-out opening mechanism.

[0244] When the first door 200 is closed, the user can directly see the light-emitting structure 400 on the inclined wall 3222 from the front of the cooking appliance 10. For example, the light-emitting structure 400 is a light strip. At this time, the light from the light-emitting structure 400 is a blue breathing light, which can be used as a kitchen ambient light. When the first door 200 is opened, the food is pulled out from the cabinet 130 along with the first container 140. The user does not need to bend over and can observe the cooking status of the food with just one operation. Furthermore, if it is necessary to add food, seasonings, or flip the food, it can be done directly on the first container 140 without removing the food. At the same time, in order to ensure that the user can clearly observe the cooking status of the food after pulling out the first container 140, the light strip on the inclined wall 3222 changes from a blue breathing light to a constant warm white light. The tilt angle of the inclined wall 3222 limits the tilt angle of the light-emitting structure 400, and the tilt angle of the light-emitting structure 400 is just right to illuminate the food inside the first container 140. Two different light strip colors and states can also remind users of the open / closed status of the cooking appliance 10.

[0245] For example, the handle 222 on the first door body 200 of this application is a hidden structure. The handle 222 is integrally formed on the first door body 200, which can reduce the cost of a separate handle mold.

[0246] For example, the light-emitting structure 400 is disposed on the inclined wall 3222, allowing the user to directly observe the state of the light-emitting structure 400 from the front.

[0247] When the first door 200 is closed, the light-emitting structure 400 emits a blue breathing light, which can serve as an ambient light in the kitchen. When the first door 200 is opened, the light-emitting structure 400 switches to a constant warm white light, which can illuminate the food inside the first storage container 140. The two different light strip states can remind the user to open or close the first door 200. The first storage container 140 is a drawer.
