For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0041] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 The embodiment provides a cooking device, which comprises a cooking cavity 2 and a steam auxiliary assembly 5. Specifically, the cooking device is a steam and oven dual-energy machine. As a variable embodiment, the cooking device can also be a steam oven, an electric steamer or the like.

[0042] Specifically, the cooking device further comprises a shell 1, which is square-shaped and internally provided with a square-shaped cooking cavity 2. The cooking cavity 2 can be used to cook food through steam generated by a steam generator. The cooking cavity 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1 are provided with a containing space 3, which can contain a collecting assembly 4, part of the steam auxiliary assembly 5 and a detection assembly.

[0043] The steam auxiliary assembly 5 is a complementary device of the steam generator and is also suitable for generating steam in the cooking cavity 2. The steam auxiliary assembly 5 comprises a heating piece 51 and a second conveying piece 53 connected with the cooking cavity 2 and a water source. In the embodiment, the heating piece 51 is attached to the cooking cavity 2 and arranged outside the bottom of the cooking cavity 2, and is suitable for heating the cooking cavity 2. Specifically, the second conveying piece 53 is a heat-resistant hose, which can be made of rubber, polyvinyl chloride, PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene or other plastic materials.

[0044] The steam auxiliary assembly 5 is arranged. In the initial stage of starting the steam generator, water can be injected into the cooking cavity 2 through the second conveying piece 53, and the water injected into the cooking cavity 2 can be heated by the heating piece 51 arranged adjacent to the cooking cavity 2. In this way, steam can be generated quickly by injecting a small amount of water into the cooking cavity 2 and heating, so as to overcome the defect that the steam generator generates steam slowly in the initial stage of starting due to large water quantity, thereby maintaining the high-temperature and high-humidity state in the cooking cavity 2 and ensuring the cooking effect of food.

[0045] The specific structure and setting position of the heating member 51 are not limited too much, and the rapid heating of the water in the cooking cavity 2 can be met. As a preferred embodiment, in the present embodiment, a plurality of heating members 51 are uniformly arranged along the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2, and the second conveying member 53 is arranged in communication with the water inlet arranged on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2.

[0046] Specifically, the heating member 51 is an electric heating pipe, which is completely distributed along the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 in a spiral shape. As a variable embodiment, the heating member 51 can also be an electric heating disc or the like. As another variable embodiment, the heating member 51 can also be additionally arranged on the side wall or the top wall of the cooking cavity 2.

[0047] By arranging the water inlet in communication with the second conveying member 53 on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2, on the one hand, the horizontal height of the water inlet is reduced, and water splashing onto the food is avoided, which affects the taste of the food. On the other hand, the heating member 51 arranged on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 is correspondingly arranged, which increases the contact area of the water and the bottom wall, and realizes the rapid heating of the water and the rapid generation of steam.

[0048] Further, as a variable embodiment, the heating member 51 can also be arranged on the side wall of the cooking cavity 2, and in addition, the water inlet can also be correspondingly arranged along the side wall of the cooking cavity 2.

[0049] The water source in communication with the second conveying member 53 is a water storage container 52, which includes but is not limited to a water tank, a water bucket or a water kettle, etc. The water storage container 52 contains water, which is suitable for injecting water into the cooking cavity 2 through the second conveying member 53. As a variable embodiment, the second conveying member 53 can also be connected to an external water source. As another variable embodiment, a washing liquid or other decontamination component can also be added in the water storage container 52. The water storage container includes a water tank, a water bucket or a water kettle, etc.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the water storage container 52 is a water tank, and is arranged on the horizontal upper side of the water inlet. In this way, by the height difference between the water storage container 52 and the water inlet arranged on the cooking cavity 2, the gravity is used as one of the driving force sources to drive the water to flow into the cooking cavity 2 through the second conveying member 53, which improves the flow speed of the water flow and saves the power cost of the cooking device.

[0051] In addition, the cooking device further comprises a second power member 54, specifically a water pump, which is arranged on the second conveying member 53 and can provide power for the water flow under the joint action of the gravity. By arranging the second power member 54, on the one hand, the second power member 54 can be used as a switch member to control the water flow from the water storage container 52 into the cooking cavity 2 by starting and stopping itself, and on the other hand, by combining the driving force of the second power member 54 with the gravity generated by the height difference, the driving force on the water flow is increased, and the water flow speed is accelerated, so that the steam auxiliary assembly 5 can quickly inject water into the cooking cavity 2 and heat, and the purpose of rapidly generating steam is achieved.

[0052] As a convertible embodiment, only the second power member 54 is provided, and the water storage container 52 is provided along the horizontal upper side of the water inlet. One of the two modes can be arbitrarily selected as the only water flow driving force.

[0053] The cooking device further comprises a collection assembly 4 and a detection assembly.

[0054] The collection assembly 4 comprises a wastewater tank 41 and a first conveying member 42. In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the wastewater tank 41 is square and is arranged in the accommodation space 3 above the cooking cavity 2. The first conveying member 42 is in communication with the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 and can collect the accumulated water that falls from the cooking cavity 2 to the bottom wall and can also collect the excess water injected into the cooking cavity 2 by the steam auxiliary assembly 5. The first conveying member 42 can be made of a soft material, such as rubber, polyvinyl chloride, PTFE, or other plastic materials. As a convertible embodiment, the wastewater tank 41 can also be arranged in the accommodation space 3 around or below the cooking cavity 2. The first conveying member 42 can be connected to the side wall or other parts of the cooking cavity 2 and can be in communication with the flow guide groove arranged on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2 to achieve water collection.

[0055] The detection assembly is arranged on the cooking cavity 2 and is adapted to detect the water level in the cooking cavity 2.

[0056] During the cooking process, the temperature of the steam as a heat source is always higher than that of the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2 without heat generation. Therefore, during the steaming process, steam will continuously condense on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2, accumulate into droplets, then slide down under the action of gravity, and finally form accumulated water at the bottom. If the accumulated water is too much and exceeds the bottom of the inner container, there is a risk of water leakage and overflow. After each steaming, the user needs to wipe and clean, which is troublesome and has a poor experience.

[0057] The collection assembly 4 and the detection assembly are arranged. When the detection assembly detects that the accumulated water exceeds the predetermined water level, the first conveying member 42 conveys the accumulated water from the cooking cavity 2 to the wastewater tank 41, effectively cleaning the accumulated water in the cooking cavity 2, further realizing feedback adjustment of cleaning, avoiding the tediousness of manual wiping, improving the convenience of the cooking device, and also improving the user experience by discharging the remaining water in the cooking cavity 2 after the steam auxiliary assembly 5 injects the water storage container 52 into the cooking cavity 2 to generate steam.

[0058] The bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 is provided with a drain hole 21, the first conveying member 42 is sealingly connected with the drain hole 21 in correspondence, the waste water tank 41 is arranged on the horizontal upper side of the drain hole 21, and the cooking device further comprises a first power member 43 arranged on the first conveying member 42 and capable of providing power for the flow of the accumulated water.

[0059] By arranging the drain hole 21 on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2, the accumulated water can be drained through the drain hole 21 connected with the first conveying member 42 under the action of the first power member 43, and meanwhile, the waste water tank 41 is arranged on the horizontal upper side of the drain hole 21, so that the water can be prevented from flowing to the waste water tank 41 before reaching the warning level through the arrangement of the water level difference, and the waste water tank 41 can not be always in the state of collecting water, which not only ensures that the waste water tank 41 can be effectively maintained, but also enables the start-stop control of the drainage to be realized through the on-off control of the first power member 43.

[0060] In the embodiment, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 gradually decreases in diameter along the direction of gravity, and the drain hole 21 is arranged at the horizontal lowest point of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2, i.e. the geometric center position of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2. As a transformable embodiment, a plurality of drain holes 21 can also be arranged and uniformly arranged on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2.

[0061] In addition, the detection assembly comprises at least two probe assemblies 6, and specifically, each probe assembly 6 comprises a probe member 61, an insulating sleeve 62 and a control mainboard.

[0062] The probe member 61 is a columnar metal member penetrating the circular mounting hole 22 of the cooking cavity 2, and the top end of the probe member 61 is provided with an enlarged limiting end; the insulating sleeve 62 is arranged between the probe member 61 and the mounting hole 22 and is adapted to isolate the probe member 61 from the mounting hole 22, and the insulating sleeve 62 comprises a central hole and a limiting structure arranged on the periphery of the central hole, and the limiting structure is specifically an annular groove adapted to accommodate and limit the limiting end of the probe member 61. As a transformable embodiment, the limiting structure can also be a plurality of limiting rings arranged on the periphery of the central hole. In addition, the top side of the insulating sleeve 62 is further provided with an annular clamping end with an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 22, so that the insulating sleeve 62 can be clamped on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2. The control mainboard is electrically connected with the end of the probe member 61 extending towards the shell 1, and in the embodiment, the control mainboard is a pcb circuit board arranged in the accommodation space 3 and provided with a battery thereon, which can also be connected with an external power supply. Direct-current low voltage is provided by the control mainboard, and the cooking cavity 2 is grounded, so that the water level in the cooking cavity 2 can be judged through the conduction state of the probe member 61.

[0063] In the embodiment, the number of probe assemblies 6 is two, and the corresponding two circular mounting holes 22 are also provided, which are respectively arranged at the first mounting position and the second mounting position on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2. The first mounting position is arranged adjacent to the drain hole 21, and the second mounting position is arranged on the horizontal upper side of the first mounting position and close to the edge of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2. As a variable embodiment, the number of probe assemblies 6 can also be single or multiple. When the number of probe assemblies 6 is multiple, they can be distributed on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2 at different horizontal heights, and the specific spacing can be adjusted according to the water capacity of the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 2.

[0064] As a variable embodiment, the detection assembly can also be other water level sensors.

[0065] In addition, the cooking device comprises a control member which is electrically connected with the control mainboard, the first power member 43, the second power member 54 and the heating member 51. The control member is specifically a single-chip microcomputer, and can also be a small PLC. By arranging the control member, automatic control of the above-mentioned devices can be realized, and the automation of water injection, steam generation, drainage and other functions is further realized, and the working efficiency of the whole device is improved.

[0066] As a variable embodiment, the control member can also be electrically connected with one or more of the control mainboard, the first power member 43, the second power member 54 and the heating member 51. As another variable embodiment, the control member can also be remotely connected with the above-mentioned devices.

[0067] Working process:

[0068] The cooking device is started, the steam generator is opened, and steam begins to be gradually generated and introduced into the cooking cavity 2. The heating member 51 and the second power member 54 in the cooking cavity 2 are started at the same time. The second power member 54 draws water from the water storage container 52 and inputs water into the cooking cavity 2 through the second conveying member 53. The heating member 51 rapidly heats the input water while heating the cooking cavity 2, and generates steam.

[0069] The second power member 54 is closed after a first predetermined time, and the heating member 51 is closed after a second predetermined time. At this time, the cooking cavity 2 is full of steam, and steam is continuously condensed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2, accumulated into droplets, then slid down under the action of gravity, and finally formed into accumulated water at the bottom. When the accumulated water gradually increases, the probe assemblies 6 at the first mounting position and the second mounting position are sequentially connected. After the probe assembly 6 at the second mounting position is connected, the control member controls the first power member 43 to start, and the accumulated water is drawn from the drain hole 21 of the cooking cavity 2 to the waste water tank 41. When the probe assembly 6 at the first mounting position is disconnected, the first power member 43 is controlled to stop.

[0070] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely example for clearly illustrating but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and can not be enumerated. The obvious changes or variations derived from this still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
