The present subject matter provides an oven range appliance and a cooling assembly for an oven range appliance. The cooling assembly includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet. The at least one inlet is configured for receiving a flow of air. The cooling assembly directs the flow of air through the cooling assembly to the at least one outlet. Due to the position and/or size of the at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the cooling assembly can draw or urge the flow of air through the cooling assembly without a fan.

1. An oven range appliance that defines a vertical direction and a transverse direction, the vertical and transverse directions being perpendicular, the oven range appliance comprising: a cabinet that extends between a top portion and a bottom portion along the vertical direction, the cabinet also extending between a front portion and back portion along the transverse direction, the cabinet defining a cooking chamber and an opening that permits access to the cooking chamber of the cabinet, the opening positioned at the front portion of the cabinet;a door mounted to the cabinet at the opening of the cabinet, the door being selectively adjustable between an open position and a closed position in order to permit selective access to the cooking chamber of the cabinet through the opening of the cabinet;a heating assembly mounted to the cabinet at the top portion of the cabinet, the heating assembly positioned above the cooking chamber of the cabinet along the vertical direction; anda cooling assembly positioned adjacent the top portion of the cabinet between the cooking chamber of the cabinet and the heating assembly, the cooling assembly defining at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the at least one inlet positioned at the front portion of the cabinet and adjacent the door when the door is in the closed position, the at least one outlet positioned at the back portion of the cabinet, the at least one outlet positioned above the at least one inlet along the vertical direction such that a flow of air is drawn through the cooling chamber from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet. 2. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the at least one outlet of the cooling assembly is spaced apart from the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly by at least six inches along the vertical direction. 3. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the at least one outlet of the cooling assembly defines a cross-sectional area in a plane that is perpendicular to the vertical direction and the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly defines a cross-sectional area in a plane that is perpendicular to the transverse direction, the cross-sectional area of the at least one outlet being less than the cross-sectional area of the at least one inlet. 4. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the cross-sectional area of the at least one outlet is less than about seventy-five percent of the cross-sectional area of the at least one inlet. 5. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the oven range appliance defines a lateral direction, the vertical, transverse and lateral directions being mutually perpendicular, the cabinet extending between a first side portion and a second side portion along the lateral direction, the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly defining a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the at least one inlet positioned at the first side portion of the cabinet, the second portion of the at least one inlet positioned at the second side portion of the cabinet. 6. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the oven range appliance defines a lateral direction, the vertical, transverse and lateral directions being mutually perpendicular, the cabinet extending between a first side portion and a second side portion along the lateral direction, the at least one outlet of the cooling assembly comprising a first outlet and a second outlet, the first outlet positioned at the first side portion of the cabinet, the second outlet positioned at the second side portion of the cabinet. 7. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the door defines an entrance, a channel, and an exit, the entrance of the door positioned at a bottom portion of the door, the exit positioned at a top portion of the door, the channel extending between the entrance of the door and the exit of the door, the channel permitting the flow of air from the entrance of the door to the exit of the door. 8. The oven range appliance of claim 7, wherein the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly is positioned adjacent and faces the exit of the door such that the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly is configured for receiving the flow of air therefrom. 9. The oven range appliance of claim 7, wherein the door and the cabinet define gap therebetween when the door is in the closed position, the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly and the exit of the door positioned at the gap when the door is in the closed position. 10. The oven range appliance of claim 9, further comprising a gasket positioned at the gap, the gasket extending between the door and the cabinet when the door is in the closed position. 11. The oven range appliance of claim 10, wherein the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly and the exit of the door are positioned above the gasket along the vertical direction V when the door is in the closed position. 12. The oven range appliance of claim 1, wherein the at least one outlet of the cooling assembly is spaced apart from the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly along the vertical direction by a height H, the height H selected such that heated air entering the cooling assembly at the at least one inlet of the cooling assembly is drawn through the cooling assembly to the at least one outlet of the cooling assembly by buoyancy of the heated air within the cooling assembly. 13. A cooling assembly for an oven appliance, the cooling assembly defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction and a transverse direction, the vertical, lateral and transverse directions being mutually perpendicular, the cooling assembly comprising: a main body extending between a top portion and a bottom portion along the vertical direction, the main body also extending between a first side portion and a second side portion along the lateral direction, the main body further extending between a front portion and a back portion along the transverse direction, the main body defining an inlet, a flow passage and a pair of outlets, the inlet configured for receiving a flow of air and directing the flow of air into the flow passage, the flow passage configured for directing the flow of air to the pair of outlets, the inlet positioned at the bottom and front portions of the main body and extending along the lateral direction between the first and second side portions of the main body, the pair of outlets positioned at the top and back portions of the main body. 14. The cooling assembly of claim 13, wherein the pair of outlets of the main body is spaced apart from the inlet of the main body by at least six inches along the vertical direction. 15. The cooling assembly of claim 13, wherein the pair of outlets of main body define a cross-sectional area in a plane that is perpendicular to the vertical direction and the inlet of the main body defines a cross-sectional area in a plane that is perpendicular to the transverse direction, the cross-sectional area of the pair of outlets being less than the cross-sectional area of the inlet. 16. The cooling assembly of claim 15, wherein the cross-sectional area of the pair of outlets is less than about seventy-five percent of the cross-sectional area of the inlet. 17. The cooling assembly of claim 13, wherein the pair of outlets of the main body is spaced apart from the inlet of main body along the vertical direction by a height H, the height H selected such that heated air entering flow passage at the inlet of main body is drawn through flow passage to the pair of outlets of the main body by buoyancy of the heated air within flow passage. 18. The cooling assembly of claim 13, wherein the main body is constructed with a plurality of sheet metal panels mounted to one another.
