Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The present invention provides a cooking appliance, which comprises an inner container 100, a heater 200 and a steam generator 300, as shown in fig. 1-2. The inner container 100 provides a cavity for placing food to be cooked for the cooking appliance. The cooking appliances include, but are not limited to, a general steam box, a steam oven, a microwave oven, and the embedded products, including an embedded steam box, an embedded steam oven, an embedded microwave oven, etc.

The top plate 110 of the inner container 100 is provided with a recess 111. The recess 111 opens toward the inside of the inner container 100, and a top surface 112 of the recess 111 is higher than the top plate 110, as shown in fig. 2. That is, a portion of the top plate 110 is recessed when viewed from the inside of the inner container 100. When viewed from the outside of the inner container 100, the top plate 110 protrudes from the top plate 110 in a recessed state. The heater 200 is disposed in the recess 111 from the inside of the inner container 100. The steam generator 300 is provided at the bottom of the inner container 120, and steams food therein by generating steam.

In this way, by providing the recess 111 on the top plate 110 of the inner container 100, the heater 200 does not occupy the actual space of the inner container 100 when the heater 200 is disposed in the recess 111. Compared with the existing cooking utensil, the installation position of the heater 200 is lifted, and the baffle plate of the heater 200 close to the door plate is eliminated, so that the space occupied by the heater 200 and the baffle plate in the inner container 100 is saved, and the usable volume of the inner container 100 is enlarged.

A rack, tray or shelf, etc. (not shown) for carrying food may be provided within the inner container 100. When cooking food with the cooking appliance, the food to be cooked may be placed thereon. The racks, trays or shelves are typically designed so that the food to be cooked is generally centered within the liner 100 after it is placed thereon. In this case, the top plate 110 of the inner container 100 has an arc shape with a high middle and a low edge. Alternatively, the top plate 110 may have two side edges lower than the middle; it is also possible that the front and rear edges are lower than the middle; or the edges of all four sides are lower than the middle; and so on. By the design, when the heater 200 works, the heat radiation can be reflected to the food more intensively through the arc-shaped top plate 110, the utilization rate of energy is improved, and the heating efficiency of the product is improved. On the other hand, when the food is steamed, the rising water vapor is condensed when meeting the top plate 110, and is guided to the periphery of the inner container 120 along with the arc shape of the top plate 110, so that condensed water drops are prevented from dropping on the food.

Preferably, the edges of both sides of the top plate 110 of the inner container 100 are lower than the middle thereof. That is, the top plate 110 of the inner container 100 has an arch shape when viewed from the front. Typically, the door panel of the cooking appliance is directed straight ahead, i.e. facing the user. The top plate 110 of the inner container 100 is designed into the shape, so that the arc shape of the top plate 110 can be ensured, the heat radiation efficiency is improved, and the opening size of the inner container 100 in the front direction cannot be reduced, so that the normal use of the cooking appliance is influenced.

Further, the minimum distances from the points on the top surface 112 of the recess 111 to the curved surface on which the top plate 110 is located are the same. That is, the top surface 112 of the recess 111 is bent to substantially the same degree as the top plate 110. Thus, the vertical distance from the top surface 112 of the recess 111 to the top plate 110 is equal throughout, so that the recess 111 can have a larger space to accommodate the heater 200. Without wasting space due to an excessive distance from the top surface 112 to the top plate 110 after the heater 200 is disposed therein, or occupying a usage space of the inner container 100 due to an exposure of the heater 200 to the recess 111 due to an insufficient distance.

Illustratively, the heater 200 may have an arc shape. In this way, the heater 200 can be better attached to the inside of the concave portion 111 along with the radian of the concave portion 111, so that the concave portion 111 can completely accommodate the heater 200 without occupying the actual use space of the inner container 100, and the use efficiency of the space in the inner container 100 of the cooking appliance is further improved.

Preferably, the minimum distance from each point on the heater 200 to the curved surface on which the top plate 110 is located is the same. That is, the heater 200 is bent to substantially the same degree as the top plate 110. Thus, the heater 200 can form a relatively flat inner surface with the top plate 110, and prevent a portion of the heater from protruding out of the top plate 110 due to the non-uniform shape of the top plate 110, thereby occupying the space of the inner container 100 in practical use.

Illustratively, the sidewalls 113 of the recess 111 slope in an upward direction toward the center of the recess 111, as shown in fig. 2-3. The side wall 113 functions to connect the top plate 110 and the top surface 112 of the recess 111. Since the side wall 113 has an inclined angle and is inclined toward the center. On one hand, the reflecting surface of heat radiation can be increased, and the heat efficiency of reflection is improved. On the other hand, the top plate 110 is mostly formed by a stamping process through a section bar, and the inclined angle is more beneficial to processing and manufacturing the top plate 110, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced.

In general, the heater 200 of the cooking appliance is a heating pipe having a diameter of about 1cm, and is attached to the top surface of the concave portion 111, so that it is most reasonably effective to set the depth of the concave portion 111 to 1 to 3 cm. The heater is not exposed out of the recess because the depth of the recess 111 is too small, and the use space of the inner container 100 is not affected. And the excessive depth of the concave part 111 does not waste materials, increase the size of the cooking utensil and influence the reflection of heat radiation.

Illustratively, the heater 120 is made of a bent heating tube, both ends of which are connected to electrical devices (not shown) outside the inner bladder 100 from the top surface 112 of the recess 111. Because the electrical components of the cooking utensil are usually arranged on the top of the cooking utensil, two ends of the heating pipe extend out of the top, the connection of the electrical components is facilitated, the route of a circuit or other electrical components is optimized, materials are reduced, and the design cost is reduced.
