a coupling assembly, at least a portion of the structure being disposed within the interior cavity of the cooking assembly, and/or at least a portion of the structure being disposed within the mounting opening for signal transmission and/or power supply when the heating assembly is heating.

2. The cooking appliance of claim 1, wherein the coupling assembly comprises a driving structure, a connecting structure connected to the driving structure, and a detecting assembly, wherein the driving structure and the detecting assembly are disposed in an inner cavity of the heating assembly or an inner cavity of the cooking assembly, the driving structure is configured to drive the connecting structure, and the detecting assembly is configured to detect a position moved by the connecting structure.

3. The cooking appliance according to claim 2, wherein the connecting structure comprises a connecting body and a coupling portion disposed on the connecting body, and the coupling portion is used for signal transmission and/or power supply when the connecting body is exposed to the mounting opening.

4. The cooking appliance of claim 3, wherein the coupling portion comprises a first susceptor and a first electrical connection end connected to the first susceptor, at least a portion of the first electrical connection end being configured to protrude with respect to the first susceptor.

5. The cooking appliance according to claim 3, wherein the connecting body has a sliding portion and connecting portions distributed along a sliding direction of the sliding portion, the heating assembly has a slide rail adapted to the sliding portion, and the connecting portions are configured to be connected to the driving end of the driving structure.

6. The cooking appliance according to claim 5, wherein the connecting body further comprises a limiting portion, the detecting element comprises a first detecting element having a first touch portion contacting the limiting portion, and the first touch portion is used for detecting a position of the coupling element exposed to the mounting opening.

7. The cooking appliance according to claim 6, wherein the detecting assembly further comprises a second detecting member having a second touch portion contacting the position-limiting portion, the second touch portion being used for limiting the contraction of the coupling assembly to the mounting opening.

8. The cooking appliance of claim 1, wherein the coupling assembly is exposed to a side of the heating assembly proximate to the cooking assembly or to a side wall of the heating assembly.

9. The heating appliance of claim 2, wherein the coupling assembly further comprises a proximity assembly disposed in the interior of the cooking assembly, and the connecting structure is disposed at the mounting opening or the proximity assembly is disposed at the mounting opening, and the connecting structure is disposed in the interior of the cooking assembly such that the connecting structure and the proximity assembly form an electrical connection.
