[0005] If some foods are left in a steamy environment inside the inner pot for a long time, they will absorb the steam, causing the food to lose its color and taste, which will greatly affect the subsequent cooking results. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides an exhaust assembly, cooking equipment, and integrated stove to solve the technical problem that a lot of steam remains in the inner pot of the cooking equipment after the steaming function mode is completed.

[0007] A first aspect of this application provides an exhaust assembly, including:

[0008] Air supply device, used for installation on cooking equipment;

[0009] The gas heating module has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air supply device, and the air outlet is connected to the inner liner of the cooking equipment. The gas heating module is used to heat the air input by the air supply device to form hot air and guide the hot air into the inner liner.

[0011] A controller is installed on the cooking equipment and is electrically connected to the air supply device, the gas heating module and the humidity sensor, respectively.

[0012] When the humidity inside the inner liner is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller controls the air supply device and the gas heating module to start, so as to input the hot air into the inner liner and drive the gas inside the inner liner to be discharged from the air outlet of the inner liner.

[0013] When the humidity inside the inner liner is less than a preset value, the controller shuts down the air supply device and the gas heating module.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a hot air inlet duct is also included, the air outlet end of which is connected to the inner liner, and the height of the end of the hot air inlet duct near the inner liner is lower than the height of the end of the hot air inlet duct away from the inner liner, so that water in the hot air inlet duct flows into the inner liner.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the gas heating module includes a ventilation housing and a heating element. The ventilation housing is disposed on the cooking device and has a ventilation channel. The two ends of the ventilation channel form the air inlet and the air outlet, respectively. The heating element is electrically connected to the controller and is disposed within the ventilation channel. The heating element is used to heat the air within the ventilation channel.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the gas heating module further includes a temperature control switch, which is disposed on the ventilation housing and connected to the heating element. The temperature control switch is used to control the opening and closing of the heating element.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the heating component includes a heating element and a plurality of heat-conducting plates. The heating element is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting plates at intervals. The heating element is used to heat the heat-conducting plates. A heating channel is formed between two adjacent heat-conducting plates. One end of the heating channel is connected to the air inlet end, and the other end of the heating channel is connected to the air outlet end.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the ventilation channel includes an air inlet section, a middle section, and an air outlet section connected in sequence. The air inlet section is provided with an air inlet end, and the air outlet section is provided with an air outlet end. The diameter of the middle section is larger than the diameters of the air inlet section and the air outlet section, respectively, and the heat-conducting plates are arranged sequentially and spaced apart from the top wall of the middle section to the bottom wall of the middle section.

[0019] In one possible implementation, a solenoid valve is also included, which is configured on the cooking device, wherein the gas outlet of the gas heating module is connected to the hot air inlet pipe through the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller.

[0020] When the humidity inside the inner liner is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller controls the solenoid valve to open, so that hot air is introduced into the hot air inlet pipe through the solenoid valve; when the humidity inside the inner liner is less than the preset value, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close.

[0021] In one possible implementation, a first adapter and a second adapter are also included;

[0022] The solenoid valve is connected to the outlet end through the first adapter, and a first sealing ring is provided between the solenoid valve and the first adapter. The first sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the solenoid valve and the first adapter.

[0023] The solenoid valve is connected to the hot air inlet pipe through the second adapter, and a second sealing ring is provided between the solenoid valve and the hot air inlet pipe. The second sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the solenoid valve and the hot air inlet pipe.

[0024] A second aspect of this application provides a cooking device, including a housing and an inner pot disposed within the housing, the inner pot having an air outlet, and further including an exhaust assembly as described in any one of the above claims, the exhaust assembly being disposed on the housing.

[0025] A third aspect of this application provides an integrated stove, including an integrated stove body and the aforementioned cooking device, wherein the cooking device is disposed on the integrated stove body.

[0026] This application provides an exhaust assembly, cooking equipment, and integrated stove. The exhaust assembly includes an air supply device, a gas heating module, a humidity sensor, and a controller. The air supply device is installed on the cooking equipment. The gas heating module includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is connected to the air supply device, and the outlet end is connected to the inner liner of the cooking equipment. The gas heating module heats the air input by the air supply device to form hot air and guides the hot air into the inner liner. The humidity sensor is installed on the cooking equipment and is used to detect the humidity inside the inner liner. The controller is installed on the cooking equipment and is electrically connected to the air supply device, the gas heating module, and the humidity sensor. After the steaming function of the cooking equipment has finished operating, the exhaust component of this application detects the humidity inside the inner pot of the cooking equipment through a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor transmits the detected humidity signal inside the inner pot to the controller. When the humidity inside the inner pot is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller controls the air supply device and the gas heating module to start. After the air supply device delivers air to the gas heating module, the gas heating module heats the air delivered by the air supply device to form hot air. Finally, the hot air is delivered into the inner pot. When a large amount of hot air is delivered into the inner pot, the pressure inside the inner pot increases, thereby forcing the gas inside the inner pot to be discharged from the air outlet of the inner pot. This allows the steam inside the inner pot to be discharged from the air outlet, thereby reducing the humidity inside the inner pot, ensuring the color and taste of the food, and improving the cooking effect of the cooking equipment.

[0044] Steam ovens and steam oven components in integrated stoves are kitchen appliances that combine steaming and baking functions.

[0045] After the steaming function of cooking equipment such as steam ovens and integrated stoves is finished, a lot of steam will remain inside the cooking equipment.

[0046] If foods such as baby bok choy, broccoli, and eggplant are left in a steamy environment inside the inner pot for a long time, they will absorb the steam, causing the food to lose its color and taste, which will greatly affect the subsequent cooking results.

[0047] To address the technical problem of residual steam in the inner liner of existing cooking appliances after the steaming function has finished operating, this application proposes an exhaust assembly, a cooking appliance, and an integrated stove. The exhaust assembly includes an air supply device, a gas heating module, a humidity sensor, and a controller. The air supply device is installed on the cooking appliance. The gas heating module includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the air supply device, and the outlet is connected to the inner liner of the cooking appliance. The gas heating module heats the air input from the air supply device to form hot air and guides the hot air into the inner liner. The humidity sensor is installed on the cooking appliance and is used to detect the humidity inside the inner liner. The controller is installed on the cooking appliance and is electrically connected to the air supply device, the gas heating module, and the humidity sensor. When the humidity inside the inner liner is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller activates the air supply device and the gas heating module to input hot air into the inner liner, thereby driving the gas inside the inner liner to be discharged through the air outlet. When the humidity inside the inner liner is less than the preset value, the controller deactivates the air supply device and the gas heating module.

[0048] In the exhaust assembly of this application embodiment, after the steaming function mode of the cooking equipment is completed, the humidity inside the inner pot of the cooking equipment is detected by a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor transmits the detected humidity signal inside the inner pot to the controller. When the humidity inside the inner pot is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller controls the air supply device and the gas heating module to start. After the air supply device delivers air to the gas heating module, the gas heating module heats the air delivered by the air supply device to form hot air. Finally, the hot air is delivered to the inner pot. When a large amount of hot air is delivered to the inner pot, the pressure inside the inner pot increases, thereby forcing the gas inside the inner pot to be discharged from the air outlet of the inner pot, and causing the steam inside the inner pot to be discharged from the air outlet, thereby reducing the humidity inside the inner pot.

[0049] When the humidity inside the inner liner drops below the preset value, the controller shuts off the air supply device and the gas heating module, thus ensuring that the humidity inside the inner liner is below the preset value, reducing steam inside the inner liner, preserving the color and taste of the food, and improving the cooking effect of the cooking equipment.

[0050] The technical solution of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an exhaust assembly, including:

[0053] An air supply device 100 is used to install on the cooking equipment 10.

[0054] The gas heating module 200 has an air inlet end 210 and an air outlet end 220. The air inlet end 210 is connected to the air supply device 100, and the air outlet end 220 is used to connect to the inner liner 30 of the cooking equipment 10. The gas heating module 200 is used to heat the air input by the air supply device 100 to form hot air and guide the hot air into the inner liner 30.

[0055] A humidity sensor 300 is installed on the cooking appliance 10 and is used to detect the humidity inside the inner pot 30.

[0056] The controller 400 is installed on the cooking equipment 10 and is electrically connected to the air supply device 100, the gas heating module 200 and the humidity sensor 300 respectively.

[0057] When the humidity inside the inner liner 30 is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to start, so as to input hot air into the inner liner 30, thereby driving the gas inside the inner liner 30 to be discharged from the air outlet 31 of the inner liner 30.

[0058] When the humidity inside the inner tank 30 is less than the preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to shut down.

[0059] In the exhaust assembly of this application embodiment, the air supply device 100 can be a blower, fan, etc., and the air supply device 100 supplies air to the air inlet 210 of the gas heating module 200.

[0060] The humidity sensor 300 measures ambient humidity by sensing changes in water vapor content within the inner liner 30 and converting this into an electrical signal. Based on different measurement principles, humidity sensors 300 can be categorized into several types, including resistive, capacitive, thermistor, dew point, optical, and semiconductor types.

[0061] The controller 400 can be an electronic chip such as a microcontroller unit (MCU) or a central processing unit (CPU).

[0062] In the exhaust assembly of this application embodiment, after the steaming function mode of the cooking device 10 is completed, the humidity inside the inner pot 30 of the cooking device 10 is detected by the humidity sensor 300. The humidity sensor 300 transmits the detected humidity signal inside the inner pot 30 to the controller 400. When the humidity inside the inner pot 30 is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to start. After the air supply device 100 delivers air to the gas heating module 200, the gas heating module 200 heats the air delivered by the air supply device 100 to form hot air. Finally, the hot air is delivered to the inner pot 30. When a large amount of hot air is delivered to the inner pot 30, the pressure inside the inner pot 30 increases, thereby forcing the gas inside the inner pot 30 to be discharged from the air outlet 31 of the inner pot 30, and causing the steam inside the inner pot 30 to be discharged from the air outlet 31, thereby reducing the humidity inside the inner pot 30.

[0063] When the humidity inside the inner liner 30 drops below the preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to shut down, thereby ensuring that the humidity inside the inner liner 30 is below the preset value, reducing the steam inside the inner liner 30, ensuring the color and taste of the food, and improving the cooking effect of the cooking equipment 10.

[0064] It should be noted that the preset value can be customized. The smaller the preset value, the lower the humidity inside the 30-degree vent can be.

[0065] In other embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a hot air inlet pipe 500. The gas outlet 220 of the gas heating module 200 is connected to the inner liner 30 through the hot air inlet pipe 500. The height of the end of the hot air inlet pipe 500 near the inner liner 30 is lower than the height of the end of the hot air inlet pipe 500 away from the inner liner 30, so that the water in the hot air inlet pipe 500 flows into the inner liner 30.

[0066] In this embodiment, the gas outlet 220 of the gas heating module 200 is connected to one end of the hot air inlet pipe 500, and the other end of the hot air inlet pipe 500 is connected to the inner liner 30, so that the hot air in the gas heating module 200 is delivered to the inner liner 30 through the hot air inlet pipe 500.

[0067] During the use of the cooking equipment 10, the steam inside the inner pot 30 flows to the hot air inlet pipe 500, causing condensation to form inside the hot air inlet pipe 500. Furthermore, the steam carries away the oil stains inside the inner pot 30, which can easily cause odors to form inside the hot air inlet pipe 500, resulting in an odor throughout the inner pot 30 that is difficult to remove.

[0068] However, since the height of the end of the hot air inlet duct 500 near the inner liner 30 is lower than the height of the end of the hot air inlet duct 500 away from the inner liner 30, when there is condensate in the hot air inlet duct 500, the condensate can flow from top to bottom into the inner liner 30 due to gravity. This prevents water accumulation in the hot air inlet duct 500, avoids condensate from remaining in the hot air inlet duct 500, and allows the condensate to flow back into the inner liner 30, thus preventing odors from being generated in the hot air inlet duct 500 and reducing contamination of the hot air inlet duct 500.

[0069] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the gas heating module 200 includes a ventilation housing 230 and a heating element 240. The ventilation housing 230 is used to be installed on the cooking device 10. A ventilation channel 600 is provided inside the ventilation housing 230. An air inlet end 210 and an air outlet end 220 are formed at both ends of the ventilation channel 600, respectively. The heating element 240 is electrically connected to the controller 400. The heating element 240 is installed inside the ventilation channel 600 and is used to heat the air inside the ventilation channel 600.

[0070] In this embodiment, the heating element 240 may be a PTC heating element, a heating tube, etc. A PTC heating element, also known as a PTC heating element or PTC heater, is a heating element composed of a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) ceramic heating element and heat dissipation materials such as aluminum tubes.

[0071] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4As shown, the gas heating module 200 also includes a temperature control switch 250, which is disposed on the ventilation housing 230 and connected to the heating element 240. The temperature control switch 250 is used to control the opening and closing of the heating element 240.

[0072] A temperature control switch 250, also known as a temperature-controlled switch or thermal switch, is a device that connects or disconnects a circuit based on temperature changes, thereby controlling the operating status of electrical appliances or systems. Its core component is a thermistor, typically composed of two metal strips with different coefficients of thermal expansion. When the temperature changes, the different coefficients of thermal expansion cause the metal strips to bend, which in turn changes the contact state of the switch, thus controlling the on / off state of the circuit.

[0073] In this embodiment, the temperature control switch 250 controls the opening and closing of the heating component 240 to prevent the temperature of the heating component 240 from becoming too high, so that the heat output of the heating component 240 is maintained within a certain range, thus protecting the entire gas heating module 200.

[0074] In another embodiment, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating assembly 240 includes a heating element 241 and a plurality of heat-conducting plates 242. The heating element 241 is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting plates 242 at intervals. The heating element 241 is used to heat the heat-conducting plates 242. A heating channel 700 is formed between two adjacent heat-conducting plates 242. One end of the heating channel 700 is connected to the air inlet end 210, and the other end of the heating channel 700 is connected to the air outlet end 220.

[0075] In this embodiment, the air entering from the air inlet 210 is diverted to multiple heating channels 700, and the air is heated through the multiple heating channels 700, thereby improving the heating efficiency and heating effect of the air.

[0076] In some possible embodiments, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ventilation channel 600 includes an air inlet section 610, a middle section 620 and an air outlet section 630 connected in sequence. The air inlet section 610 is provided with an air inlet end 210, and the air outlet section 630 is provided with an air outlet end 220. The diameter of the middle section 620 is larger than the diameters of the air inlet section 610 and the air outlet section 630, and each heat conduction plate 242 is arranged sequentially from the top wall of the middle section 620 to the bottom wall of the middle section 620 at intervals.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the diameter of the middle section 620 is larger than the diameters of the air inlet section 610 and the air outlet section 630, the heating volume of the air entering from the air inlet end 210 is increased, which further improves the heating efficiency and heating effect of the air.

[0078] In one possible embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a solenoid valve 800, which is installed on the cooking device 10. The gas outlet 220 of the gas heating module 200 is connected to the hot air inlet pipe 500 through the solenoid valve 800. The solenoid valve 800 is electrically connected to the controller 400. When the humidity in the inner tank 30 is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller 400 controls the solenoid valve 800 to open, so that hot air can be introduced into the hot air inlet pipe 500 through the solenoid valve 800. When the humidity in the inner tank 30 is less than the preset value, the controller 400 controls the solenoid valve 800 to close.

[0079] In this embodiment, the controller 400 controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 800. When hot air needs to be supplied to the inner pot 30, the controller 400 controls the solenoid valve 800 to open, so that hot air can enter the inner pot 30. When hot air does not need to be supplied to the inner pot 30, the controller 400 controls the solenoid valve 800 to close, so that hot air cannot enter the inner pot 30, thus ensuring the normal progress of subsequent cooking.

[0080] In other possible embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a first adapter 900 and a second adapter 1000; the solenoid valve 800 is connected to the gas outlet 220 of the gas heating module 200 through the first adapter 900, and a first sealing ring 910 is provided between the solenoid valve 800 and the first adapter 900 to seal the gap between the solenoid valve 800 and the first adapter 900; the solenoid valve 800 is connected to the hot air inlet pipe 500 through the second adapter 1000, and a second sealing ring 1010 is provided between the solenoid valve 800 and the hot air inlet pipe 500 to seal the gap between the solenoid valve 800 and the hot air inlet pipe 500.

[0081] In this embodiment, the connection between the solenoid valve 800 and the gas outlet 220 of the gas heating module 200 is achieved through the first adapter 900. Simultaneously, to ensure the airtightness between the solenoid valve 800 and the first adapter 900, a first sealing ring 910 is provided between them to prevent air leakage. Similarly, the connection between the solenoid valve 800 and the hot air inlet pipe 500 is achieved through the second adapter 1000, and a second sealing ring 1010 is provided between them to prevent air leakage.

[0082] Furthermore, refer to Figure 8As shown, it also includes a first mounting plate 1100, through which the solenoid valve 800 is fixed to the cooking device 10.

[0083] In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 800 is fixed to the cooking device 10 by the first mounting plate 1100, so that the solenoid valve 800 is fixed more stably and prevents the solenoid valve 800 from becoming loose.

[0084] Furthermore, refer to Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a second mounting plate 1200, and the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 are all fixed to the cooking equipment 10 via the second mounting plate 1200.

[0085] In this embodiment, both the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 are fixed on the second mounting plate 1200, which is fixed on the cooking device 10, thereby fixing the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 on the cooking device 10.

[0086] The second aspect of this application provides a cooking device 10, including a housing 20 and an inner pot 30 disposed within the housing 20. The inner pot 30 is provided with an air outlet 31, and the device also includes an exhaust assembly as described in any of the above embodiments, which is disposed on the housing 20.

[0087] The cooking device 10 of this application embodiment is equipped with an exhaust assembly, which includes an air supply device 100, a gas heating module 200, a humidity sensor 300, and a controller 400. The air supply device 100 is installed on the cooking device 10. The gas heating module 200 includes an inlet end 210 and an outlet end 220. The inlet end 210 is connected to the air supply device 100, and the outlet end 220 is connected to the inner pot 30 of the cooking device 10. The gas heating module 200 heats the air input from the air supply device 100 to form hot air and guides the hot air into the inner pot 30. The humidity sensor 300 is installed on the cooking device 10 and is used to detect the humidity inside the inner pot 30. The controller 400 is installed on the cooking device 10 and is electrically connected to the air supply device 100, the gas heating module 200, and the humidity sensor 300.

[0088] In this embodiment of the cooking device 10, after the steaming function mode of the cooking device 10 is completed, the humidity inside the inner pot 30 of the cooking device 10 is detected by the humidity sensor 300. The humidity sensor 300 transmits the detected humidity signal inside the inner pot 30 to the controller 400. When the humidity inside the inner pot 30 is greater than or equal to a preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to start. After the air supply device 100 delivers air to the gas heating module 200, the gas heating module 200 heats the air delivered by the air supply device 100 to form hot air. Finally, the hot air is delivered to the inner pot 30. When a large amount of hot air is delivered to the inner pot 30, the pressure inside the inner pot 30 increases, thereby forcing the gas inside the inner pot 30 to be discharged from the air outlet 31 of the inner pot 30, and causing the steam inside the inner pot 30 to be discharged from the air outlet 31, thereby reducing the humidity inside the inner pot 30.

[0089] When the humidity inside the inner liner 30 drops below the preset value, the controller 400 controls the air supply device 100 and the gas heating module 200 to shut down, thereby ensuring that the humidity inside the inner liner 30 is below the preset value, reducing the steam inside the inner liner 30, ensuring the color and taste of the food, and improving the cooking effect of the cooking equipment 10.

[0090] A third aspect of this application provides an integrated stove, including an integrated stove body and a cooking device 10 as described in the above embodiments, the cooking device 10 being disposed on the integrated stove body.

[0091] Since the integrated stove provided in this application includes the cooking device 10 of the embodiment of this application, after the cooking device 10 of the integrated stove of this application finishes working in the steaming function mode, the residual steam in the inner pot 30 of the cooking device 10 is reduced, which ensures the color and taste of the food and improves the cooking effect of the cooking device 10.
