[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment provides a steam-bake combination machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it comprises: a shell 1, in which a grilling area 1b and a steaming area 1a arranged along the height direction are arranged, and the shell 1 is provided with a plurality of steam inflow holes 11 for steam to flow in; a grilling plate 3 is arranged in the grilling area 1b, and a heating part 4 is arranged at a position corresponding to the grilling plate 3 in the shell 1, for grilling the food inside the grilling plate 3, and the heating part 4 in this embodiment is a heating pipe; a steamer 2 is arranged in the steaming area 1a, and a plurality of steam inlet holes 21 for steam to enter and distributed in a consistent manner with the steam inlet holes 11 are arranged on the steamer 2, and the steam inlet holes 21 are arranged opposite to the steam inlet holes 11, and a steam generating device 8 is connected to the steam inlet holes 11; a plurality of partitions are arranged in the steamer 2, and the partitions are used to divide the steamer 2 into different sub-steaming areas 1a1, and each of the sub-steaming areas 1a1 is respectively provided with the steam inlet holes 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, by providing a steamer 2, the accommodating chamber is divided into a steaming area 1a and a grilling area 1b. The steaming area 1a and the grilling area 1b work independently, steaming work is performed in the steaming area 1a, and grilling work is performed in the grilling area 1b. Through the above-mentioned setting method, two different ingredients can be processed simultaneously in the steaming area 1a (steamer 2) and the grilling area, thereby effectively solving the defect that the grilling combination machine in the prior art can only perform steaming and grilling work on one ingredient at the same time, resulting in low working efficiency.

[0042] At the same time, the steamer 2 is divided into different sub-steaming areas 1a1 by partitions, so that a variety of different ingredients can be steamed inside the steamer 2 to avoid the occurrence of mixed flavors of the different ingredients during the steaming process.

[0043] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, two sub-steaming zones 1a1 are provided. As a variation, a plurality of sub-steaming zones 1a1 may be provided.

[0044] In this embodiment, the steam inlet hole 11 is arranged on the side wall or the bottom wall of the shell 1 . Figure 1 The case where the steam inlet hole 11 is arranged on the side wall of the housing 1 is shown in FIG. At the same time, a steam outlet hole 7 is arranged on the housing 1 to guide the excess steam to the outside in time.

[0045] In this embodiment, the steam generating device 8 is connected to a plurality of steam inlet pipes 5, and one end of each of the steam inlet pipes 5 away from the steam generating device 8 is respectively connected to each of the steam inlet holes 11. By providing the steam inlet pipes 5, the steam can be pumped into the steam box 2 as much as possible, which is conducive to improving the use efficiency of the steam and ensuring the working stability of the steam box 2.

[0046] In this implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, two steam inlet pipes 5 are provided, and each steam inlet pipe 5 is connected to a sub-steaming area 1a1.

[0047] In this embodiment, a control valve is provided on each of the steam intake pipes 5 to control the on / off of the steam intake pipe 5 and the flow rate passing through the steam intake pipe 5 .

[0048] For different ingredients, the parameters such as steaming time and steaming pressure required during the steaming process are different. If all ingredients are cooked under the same cooking conditions, it is inevitable that when some ingredients are cooked, other ingredients are in an overcooked state, thereby affecting the taste of the final food. In this embodiment, by using different control valves to control each steam inlet pipe 5, the time for steam to be introduced into each sub-steaming area 1a1 and the pressure (flow rate) of the steam to be introduced can be effectively controlled, so that different cooking strategies can be formulated for ingredients in different sub-steaming areas 1a1.

[0049] The steam-bake combination machine provided in this embodiment further includes a controller, and a plurality of control valves connected in parallel are connected to the controller via wires, and the controller is used to control the opening and closing degree of each control valve. A pressure sensor is arranged inside each sub-steaming area 1a1, and the pressure sensor is connected to the controller and transmits the measured signal to the controller.

[0050] For example, when two different ingredients need to be steamed in two sub-steaming zones 1a1 respectively, the first ingredient needs to be steamed for 30 minutes, and the second ingredient needs to be steamed for 15 minutes. When the cooking operation starts, the two sub-steaming zones 1a1 start working at the same time. After 15 minutes, the controller controls the sub-steaming zone 1a1 where the second ingredient is located to stop supplying steam, while the sub-steaming zone 1a1 where the first ingredient is located continues to maintain the original working state.

[0051] By the same token, when cooking, two different ingredients often require different cooking pressures. At this time, the pressure in the sub-steaming area 1a1 is detected by the pressure sensor, and then the controller adjusts the control degree of the control valve. When high pressure is required, the opening of the control valve is increased; when low pressure is required, the opening of the control valve is reduced.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the steam box 22 includes: a base 2323, on which a steam inlet 2121 is provided, and the base 2323 itself can hold condensed water; and a lid 2424, which is buckled on the base 2323 to form a closed space with the base 2323. When the lid 2424 is covered on the base 2323, an enclosed cooking space can be formed.

[0053] In this embodiment, a steam outlet hole 2525 is provided on the cover 2424 .

[0054] At the same time, a steaming plate (not shown) is arranged inside the steam box 22, and the steaming plate is used to place food. The steaming plate can be arranged separately from the base 2323, or it can be arranged in one piece with the base 2323.

[0055] In this embodiment, a heat insulating layer (not shown in the figure) is provided at the position corresponding to the steam box 22 and the baking tray 33 or at the position corresponding to the baking tray 33 and the steam box 22 to prevent heat exchange between the steam box 22 and the baking tray 33. Specifically, the heat insulating layer can be provided at the bottom of the baking tray 33 or at the top of the steam box 22, and either one or both can be selected, as long as the heat insulating function can be achieved.

[0056] As a variable implementation, a heat insulation board (not shown in the figure) can be directly arranged between the steam box 22 and the baking tray 33, and a heat insulation material can be arranged on the heat insulation board to play a role in isolating heat.

[0057] In this embodiment, the heat insulating material itself is made of common heat insulating material, so it is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0058] In this embodiment, a grilling tray rack 66 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 11, and the grilling tray rack 66 is used to support the grilling tray 33. When the user uses the steamer 22, first put the steamer 22 into the housing 11, then put the grilling tray 33 on the grilling tray rack 6 or directly on the top of the steamer 22, and then start the steam generating device 86 and the heating part 47 respectively, and steam the various different ingredients in the steamer 22, and grill the second ingredient on the grilling tray 3. The cooking work of the ingredients in the steaming area 1a and the grilling area 1b is independent of each other, and the work of the multiple sub-steaming areas 1a1 in the steamer 2 is independent of each other, and the various ingredients do not interfere with each other during the cooking process.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
