  • Patent number: 11683866
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and has disclosed a microwave oven, which comprises a cabinet and a door, a damper assembly is mounted on one side of the cabinet facing the door in a way that it produces damping force for preventing the door from closing when the door approaches to a closed position. In the present disclosure, a damper assembly is arranged on one side of the cabinet facing the door; thus, the damper assembly can effectively decrease the speed of collision of the door with the cabinet in the closing process when the door approaches to a closed position, and thereby greatly reduce the noise generated when the door is closed. In that way, not only the grade of the product is improved, but also the user experience and satisfaction is improved.

  • Publication number: 20220104317
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a cooking appliance, which includes: a cooking chamber; a tray, which is arranged at a bottom of the cooking chamber; a drive mechanism, which is connected with the tray and which is configured to drive the tray to rotate; and a protrusion, which is formed on a bottom plate of the cooking chamber, and which is located below the tray and near an edge of the tray. The cooking appliance of the embodiment of the present disclosure also has a protrusion formed on the bottom plate of the cooking chamber, and the protrusion is arranged below the tray, which greatly limits a space in which the tray can deflect. Therefore, when the tray has a tendency of turning over under the action of an external force, the tray can only move with a small amplitude, and when it contacts the protrusion, it will immediately have a tendency of moving back to its original position.
