Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a kitchen appliance including a cabinet 11, a door 12, and a driving mechanism.

The cabinet 11 defines a storage space including a storage region 112 and a water tank region 111. The door 12 is openably and closably provided in the storage space to open or close the storage space. The driving mechanism is disposed in the water tank region 111 and is in driving connection with the door 12 to open or close the door 12.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the kitchen appliance provided by the present embodiment includes a box 11, which can have a certain space for placing objects, and the object placing space is divided into an object storage area 112 and a water tank area 111.

The cabinet 11 is provided with a door 12, and the door 12 is covered above the storage space, that is, the door 12 is covered above the storage area 112 and the water tank area 111. The water tank region 111 is provided with a driving mechanism, the box door 12 is connected with the driving mechanism in a driving way, and the operation of opening and closing the box door 12 can be driven by the driving mechanism of the water tank region 111.

The kitchen appliance provided by the scheme can utilize the driving mechanism to be embedded into the water tank area 111 to save the space for the real use of the kitchen appliance, and is convenient for storage.

Optionally, the kitchen appliance further comprises a water tank disposed in the sump area 111 and in communication with the storage area 112 for supplying water to the storage area 112.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, for example, the kitchen appliance is a microwave oven. When the storage area 112 is heated at a high temperature, the storage area 112 may be replenished with water from a water tank communicating with the storage area 112. The drive mechanism is drivingly connected to the bin door 12.

In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the door 12 can be achieved by controlling the drive mechanism. This way can save the storage space inside the box body 11, and the drive mechanism can be embedded by the water tank area 111.

The driving mechanism is arranged in the water tank area 111, on one hand, the usage of the water tank area 111 is increased, so that the whole box body 11 is compact in structure and small in occupied space; on the other hand, a space for accommodating the driving mechanism does not need to be separately arranged, and the box body 11 is little modified.

Optionally, the drive mechanism comprises a rack 2, a gear 3 and a motor 4. The rack 2 is connected with the box door 12, the gear 3 is meshed with the rack 2, the output shaft of the motor 4 is in driving connection with the gear 3, and the output shaft drives the gear 3 to rotate so as to drive the rack 2 to move.
