[0022] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Modifying the specific implementation manners of the present invention or making equivalent replacements for some technical features without departing from the spirit of the present invention's solution shall all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, an all-in-one machine with cooking and cleaning functions in this embodiment includes a body machine 1, a cooking cavity 2 and a cleaning cavity 3 provided in the body machine 1. Among them, it further includes a condensation component 4 and a hot water storage component 5 that are interconnected. The condensation component 4 is used to cool the cooking cavity 2, and the hot water storage component 5 is used to store the water heated by the cooking cavity 2 during the cooling process and serve as the cleaning water for the cooking cavity 2 and / or the cleaning cavity 3.

[0025] The all-in-one machine with cooking and cleaning functions in this embodiment has dual functions of cooking and cleaning. By setting the condensation component 4, the effect of quickly cooling and reducing the temperature of the cooking cavity 2 is improved; and a hot water storage component 5 connected to the condensation component 4 is added, which is convenient for storing the water heated by the waste heat of the cooking cavity 2 in the hot water storage component 5 to serve as the cleaning water for the cooking cavity 2 and / or the cleaning cavity 3, realizing making full use of the waste heat of the cooking cavity 2 to shorten the heating time of the cleaning water for the cooking cavity 2 and / or the cleaning cavity 3, achieving the purpose of reducing energy consumption.

[0026] Furthermore, the condensation assembly 4 includes a heat dissipation channel 41 and a water storage device 42 for supplying condensed water to the heat dissipation channel 41. The heat dissipation channel 41 is wound around the outer wall surface of the cooking cavity 2, and the water inlet end of the heat dissipation channel 41 is communicated with the water storage device 42, so that the condensed water can flow along the outer wall surface of the cooking cavity 2 to quickly take away the heat from the outer wall of the cooking cavity 2, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed and cooling effect of the cooking cavity 2. In addition, a water outlet valve is provided at the water inlet end of the water storage device 42 or the heat dissipation channel 41.

[0027] Preferably, the heat dissipation channel 41 of this embodiment is arranged to surround three peripheral wall surfaces of the cooking cavity 2, so that the condensed water can flow along the three outer wall surfaces of the cooking cavity 2 under the guidance of the heat dissipation channel 41, which is beneficial to extending the path of the heat dissipation channel 41, strengthening the cooling effect, and improving the utilization rate of the residual heat of the cooking cavity 2. In other embodiments, the heat dissipation channel 41 can also be arranged in the form of a coil pipe that at least winds around one outer wall surface of the cooking cavity 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the hot water storage assembly 5 includes a cleaning water tank 51 for supplying cleaning water to the cooking cavity 2 and a heat preservation water tank 52 for supplying cleaning water to the cleaning cavity 3. The cleaning water tank 51 and the heat preservation water tank 52 are respectively communicated with the water outlet end of the heat dissipation channel 41, so that the water heated by the residual heat of the cooking cavity 2 during the cooling process of the cooking cavity 2 can be stored and divided into two water flows, which is convenient for providing the required water for the cleaning of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3.

[0029] Specifically, a diversion pipeline 411 is provided at the water outlet end of the heat dissipation channel 41, and the diversion pipeline 411 is communicated with the cleaning water tank 51. The heat preservation water tank 52 is connected to the end of the water outlet end of the heat dissipation channel 41 pipeline. In this way, the water heated by the cooking cavity 2 during the cooling process of the cooking cavity 2 is stored in the heat preservation water tank 52. When using the cleaning cavity, the cleaning water does not need to be heated for too long or does not need to be heated, and the tableware or cooking utensils can be cleaned, which is beneficial to reducing the energy loss of the cleaning cavity 3.

[0030] Furthermore, a cleaning device 6 is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity 2, and the cleaning device 6 is respectively communicated with the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning water tank 51. Thus, when the use of the cooking cavity 2 is completed, the cleaning water tank 51 is opened to facilitate the adsorption of food odors in the cooking cavity 2 and effectively remove most of the odors; at the same time, the cleaning device 6 is started to clean the lower plate of the cooking cavity 2 in time. At this time, the hot water in the cleaning water tank 51 will be heated into water vapor again and adsorbed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2, which is convenient for the user to clean and improves the user experience.

[0031] In addition, a drain pipe 511 is connected to the cleaning water tank 51, so that the dirty cleaning water in the cleaning water tank 51 can be discharged in time, which is convenient for the cleaning water tank 51 to store clean hot water in the next cycle.

[0032] Furthermore, it further includes a pushing device. The cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3 are horizontally arranged side by side in the body 1. A cooking appliance 8, such as a roasting appliance, is provided in the cooking cavity 2. The pushing device can drive the cooking appliance 8 to move between the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3. In this embodiment, the cooking appliance 8 is a baking tray or a roasting rack. Thus, by providing the pushing device, the cooking appliance 8 automatically moves between the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3 under the action of the pushing device, making full use of the functional advantages of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, making the cleaning of the cooking appliance 8 more automated, time-saving and labor-saving, and being beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0033] Specifically, the pushing device includes a first pushing device 71 and a second pushing device 72. The first pushing device 71 is provided in the cooking cavity 2 for pushing the cooking appliance 8 into the cleaning cavity 3 for cleaning, and the second pushing device 72 is provided in the cleaning cavity 3 for pushing the cleaned cooking appliance 8 back into the cooking cavity 2. Preferably, the height of the second pushing device 72 is the same as the height of the first pushing device 71. Further, the side wall of the cooking cavity 2 facing the cleaning cavity 3 is provided with a first opening, and the side wall of the cleaning cavity 3 facing the cooking cavity 2 is provided with a second opening having the same height as the first opening. This can shorten the movement path of the cooking appliance 8, make the structure of the pushing device simpler and occupy less space, and is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0034] Even further, a first side plate for opening or closing the first opening is provided in the body 1 or the cooking cavity 2, and a second side plate for opening or closing the second opening is provided in the body 1 or the cleaning cavity 3. In this way, the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 and the second opening of the cleaning cavity 3 are controlled separately. When the user does not need to clean the cooking appliance 8, only need to use the first side plate to open the first opening of the cooking cavity 2, increasing the heat dissipation space of the cooking cavity 2, avoiding the condensation of water vapor in the cleaning cavity 3 and being prone to breed bacteria, and being beneficial to ensuring the hygiene inside the cleaning cavity 3.

[0035] In practical applications, when the cooking cavity 2 is working, the first side plate is used to close the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 to prevent heat loss during cooking, which is beneficial to maintaining the heat stability inside the cooking cavity 2. When the cooking cavity 2 is completely used up, the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 is opened through the first side plate, so that the heat of the cooking cavity 2 can be quickly transferred to the surroundings of the cleaning cavity 3, accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooking cavity 2. When necessary, the user can also open the second opening of the cleaning cavity 3 to facilitate the pushing device to push the cooking utensil 8 into the cleaning cavity 3 for cleaning, and after the cooking utensil 8 is cleaned, push it back into the cooking utensil 8, and use the residual heat of the cooking cavity 2 to dry the cooking utensil 8, realizing the full utilization of the respective functional advantages of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3. On the one hand, the drying process of the cooking utensil 8 by the cleaning cavity 3 is omitted, which is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption of the cleaning cavity 3; on the other hand, there is no need to wait for the cooking utensil 8 to cool down completely before taking it out of the cleaning cavity 3, greatly shortening the operation time and improving the user experience.

[0036] The following combines Figure 1 to illustrate the working principle or operation method of this embodiment:

[0037] Before using the cooking cavity 2, close the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 and the second opening of the cleaning cavity 3 to avoid heat loss during the use of the cooking cavity 2.

[0038] After the cooking cavity 2 is completely used up, start the cooling program of the cooking cavity 2: open the water outlet valve, and the condensed water enters the heat dissipation channel 41 from the water storage device 42 and flows along the outer wall surface of the cooking cavity 2 to take away the heat of the outer wall of the cooking cavity 2. During this process, the condensed water will be heated, and a small part of the hot water flows into the cleaning water tank 51 along the shunt pipe 411, and most of the hot water flows into the heat preservation water tank 52. In addition, during the cooling process of the cooking cavity 2, the user can selectively open the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 as needed. At this time, the heat of the cooking cavity 2 will quickly spread to the surroundings of the cleaning cavity 3, increasing the heat transfer space and being beneficial to accelerating the heat dissipation speed of the cooking cavity 2.

[0039] Before the cooking cavity 2 is completely cooled, the user can choose to open the cleaning water tank 51 to adsorb and remove the food odor in the cooking cavity 2. At the same time, the user can choose to start the cleaning device 6 at the bottom of the cooking cavity 2 to clean the bottom of the cooking utensil 8 in the cooking cavity 2 in time, and drain the dirty water in the cleaning water tank 51 after the cleaning is completed; and / or, according to actual needs, the user can control the opening of the first opening of the cooking cavity 2 and the second opening of the cleaning cavity 3, and use the first pushing device 71 to push the cooking utensil 8 into the cleaning cavity 3 for cleaning. After the cleaning of the cooking utensil 8 is completed, the cooking utensil 8 is pushed back into the cooking cavity 2 under the action of the second pushing device 72, and the waste heat of the cooking cavity 2 is fully utilized to dry the water on the cooking utensil 8.

[0040] It can be seen that the integrated machine with cooking and cleaning functions in this embodiment makes full use of the functional advantages of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, realizes complementary advantages, greatly improves the utilization rate of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the cooking cavity 2, shortening the heating time of the cleaning water for the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, improving the cleaning efficiency and washing effect of the cooking utensil 8, greatly reducing the energy consumption, and improving the user experience.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that it further includes a partition or gate 9 movably arranged in the body 1. The partition or gate 9 is located between the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3 and can close or open the first opening and the second opening simultaneously. In this way, the partition or gate 9 simultaneously bears the side walls of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, eliminating the need for the side plates of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost and at the same time reducing the occupied space of the cooking cavity 2 and the cleaning cavity 3, so that the volume of the integrated machine is smaller. Preferably, the partition or gate 9 is made of heat-insulating material, and the partition or gate 9 can be switched manually, or the partition or gate 9 is electrically connected to the controller to realize automatic control of the opening and closing of the partition or gate 9. Other parts are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0043] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
