[0042] The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, for the purpose of explaining the present application, and should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0045] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, mounting, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0046] Under the trend of household appliance integration, there is currently an oven steamer integrated with an air frying function on the market. Different cooking methods require different conditions. When using the air frying function, a higher hot air volume and heat transfer efficiency are required to achieve rapid cooking of small-volume and small-quantity food. When using the oven function, the hot air outlet is reduced to send hot air to the far end of the cavity to achieve baking of large-volume food. The two are mutually contradictory in terms of hot air component air outlet requirements.

[0047] To solve the above problems, with reference to Figures 1 to 10 The oven steamer 10 of the first aspect of the present application comprises a box body 200, a hot air component 300, an air frying component 100, and a hot air cover component 500. The box body 200 has a cavity 210. The hot air component 300 is installed on the inner wall of the cavity 210. The air frying component 100 comprises a partition 110 and a food material carrier 120. The partition 110 is detachably covered on the air outlet end of the hot air component 300 to define a cooking space 111 with a volume smaller than that of the cavity 210. The food material carrier 120 is accommodated in the cooking space 111. The hot air cover component 500 comprises a cover body 510 provided with an air outlet 511. The cover body 510 is detachably covered on the air outlet end of the hot air component 300.

[0048] The oven steamer 10 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the air frying component 100 is covered on the air outlet end of the hot air component 300, so that the hot air component 300 faces the inside of the cooking space 111. The partition 110 and the inner wall of the cavity 210 define the cooking space 111, and the food material carrier 120 is placed in the cooking space 111. The volume of the cooking space 111 is smaller than that of the cavity 210. The hot air component 300 can only drive the air in the cooking space 111 to flow and heat the air in the cooking space 111. This can improve the heating efficiency of the hot air component 300 on the air and the circulation efficiency of the air, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the hot air and the cooking effect, and meeting the requirements of the air frying function. In the second state, the hot air cover component 500 is detachably covered on the air outlet end of the hot air component 300, so that the air outlet end faces the inside of the cavity 210. The hot air component 300 drives the air in the cavity 210 to flow. The hot air generated by the hot air component 300 blows towards the inside of the cavity 210 through the air outlet 511 on the cover body 510. The small-sized air outlet 511 can make the hot air concentrate and blow out, and be sent to the far end of the cavity 210 to achieve baking of large-volume food. Different components are replaced according to different functions, which can improve the cooking effect of different functions.

[0049] With reference to Figure 1The inner wall of the cavity 210 is recessed to form a mounting cavity 213, the hot air assembly 300 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 213, the mounting cavity 213 can provide a mounting position for the hot air assembly 300, and the hot air assembly 300 does not occupy the space in the cavity 210 for mounting the air-frying assembly 100, the hot air cover assembly 500 and placing food materials, and the structural layout is more reasonable.

[0050] The shape of the partition 110 can be set according to actual needs, and a cooking space 111 with a smaller volume can be defined in the cavity 210. Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the partition 110 can be a shell with one end open. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the opening of the partition 110 faces the air outlet end of the hot air assembly 300, the food material carrier 120 is accommodated in the partition 110, the shell-shaped partition 110 and the inner wall on which the hot air assembly 300 is mounted can define the cooking space 111, and for the steam oven 10 as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the hot air assembly 300 is arranged on the side of the cavity 210, and when mounted, the food material carrier 120 can be placed in the partition 110 first, and then the partition 110 and the food material carrier 120 are mounted in the cavity 210 together, which is more convenient to install.

[0051] It can be understood that the partition 110 can also be plate-shaped, the circumferential surface of the partition 110 is in contact with the inner wall of the cavity 210, and specifically, a limiting groove 211 can be arranged on the inner wall of the cavity 210, and the edge of the partition 110 is embedded in the limiting groove 211 to limit the partition 110, thereby separating a cooking space 111 with a smaller volume in the cavity 210. It should be noted that for the steam oven 10 as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the hot air assembly 300 is arranged on the side of the cavity 210, in order to reduce the installation difficulty and improve the installation convenience, the partition 110 and the food material carrier 120 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected, so that the partition 110 and the food material carrier 120 can be mounted together outside the cavity 210 and then installed in the cavity 210.

[0052] When the air-frying function is used, the hot air should be blown to all parts of the outer surface of the food material as much as possible to improve the uniformity of heating the food material. Based on this, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , all the walls of the food material carrier 120 have ventilation holes 121, and referring to Figure 3 , the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 300 can pass through the walls of the food material carrier 120 and blow through the food material in the food material carrier 120 to improve the uniformity of heating the food material.

[0053] It can be understood that the specific structure of the food material carrier 120 is not limited to Figure 6 The basket shape surrounded by a plurality of plates with ventilation holes 121 as shown can also be provided as a single-layer grid tray, a multi-layer grid tray, etc., which can make the outer surface of the food material as exposed to the hot air as possible.

[0054] In addition, if the food material carrier 120 is directly placed on the inner wall of the partition 110, the inner wall of the partition 110 directly contacts the bottom of the food material carrier 120, which will block the air passage at the bottom of the food material. Based on this, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air-frying assembly 100 further comprises a bracket 130 connected to the inner wall of the partition 110, and the food material carrier 120 is placed on the bracket 130. There is a gap between the bottom of the food material carrier 120 and the inner wall of the partition 110, and the food material carrier 120 is placed in the air-frying assembly 100. The bottom of the food material carrier 120 is directly contacted with the inner wall of the partition 110 to block the air passage, so that the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 300 can pass through the bottom of the food material carrier 120 and heat the bottom of the food material, thereby improving the uniformity of heating the food material.

[0055] During the process of installing the air-frying assembly 100 into the cavity 210, the partition 110 can be inclined, causing the food material carrier 120 placed on the partition 110 to slide or even fall. To solve this problem, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bracket 130 comprises a support portion 131 and a limiting portion 132 connected to each other, and the limiting portion 132 is connected to the end of the support portion 131 and is bent relative to the support portion 131. The food material carrier 120 is placed on the support portion 131, and when the partition 110 is inclined, the food material carrier 120 can abut against the limiting portion 132, thereby preventing the food material carrier 120 from falling from the partition 110.

[0056] To facilitate the connection of the bracket 130 and the partition 110, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6The support 130 further comprises a connecting portion 133 connected to the side portion of the supporting portion 131 and bent relative to the supporting portion 131, specifically, the connecting portion 133 can be arranged perpendicular to the supporting portion 131, and the connecting portion 133 is attached to the inner wall of the side portion of the partition 110 and connected to the partition 110. The connecting portion 133 can provide a connecting position for the connection between the support 130 and the partition 110, so as to facilitate the connection of the support 130 to the partition 110. The connection mode of the support 130 and the partition 110 is not limited and can be arranged according to actual needs, for example, a through hole can be formed on the wall surface of the connecting portion 133 and the partition 110 and the two are connected by bolts, or glue is applied on the connecting portion 133 and the partition 110 to bond the two, or a clamping structure that cooperates with each other is arranged on the connecting portion 133 and the partition 110.

[0057] It can be understood that the support 130 can be formed by sheet metal processing, and the limiting portion 132 bent relative to the supporting portion 131 and the connecting portion 133 bent relative to the supporting portion 131 are both formed by bending of a metal sheet. The bending direction of the limiting portion 132 relative to the supporting portion 131 can be the same as or opposite to the bending direction of the connecting portion 133 relative to the supporting portion 131, referring to Figure 6 The bending direction of the limiting portion 132 relative to the supporting portion 131 is opposite to the bending direction of the connecting portion 133 relative to the supporting portion 131, the limiting portion 132 is bent upward relative to the supporting portion 131, and the connecting portion 133 is bent downward relative to the supporting portion 131. When the food material carrying member 120 is placed in the partition 110, the connecting portion 133 does not affect the placement of the food material carrying member 120, and the installation process is relatively smooth.

[0058] During the cooking process using the air frying function, the food material can generate juice, which flows out of the food material carrying member 120 and falls into the partition 110. The partition 110 in the shape of a shell is not convenient to clean, and when there is a large amount of juice, it can also flow from the partition 110 to the inner wall of the cavity 210, which is more difficult to clean. To solve this problem, referring to Figure 6 The air frying assembly 100 further comprises a liquid containing disc 140, referring to Figure 5 The liquid containing disc 140 is placed in the gap between the bottom of the food material carrying member 120 and the partition 110. During cooking, the juice generated by the food material flows into the liquid containing disc 140. The disc-shaped liquid containing disc 140 can contain a certain amount of juice, thereby avoiding the juice from flowing to the inner wall of the cavity 120; after cooking, the liquid containing disc 140 can be taken out of the partition 110 for cleaning. The disc-shaped liquid containing disc 140 is relatively convenient to clean, which can reduce the cleaning difficulty.

[0059] Understandably, the liquid tray 140 should cover the entire bottom of the food carrier 120 to ensure that all the juice flowing out of the food carrier 120 can flow into the liquid tray 140, and more reliably avoid the juice from contaminating the separator 110.

[0060] For example Figures 1 to 3 The hot air assembly 300 shown is located on the side of the cavity 210 in the steam oven 10. During the installation and removal of the air fryer assembly 100 from the cavity 210, force needs to be applied to the side of the cavity 210 to allow the partition 110 to cover the air outlet of the hot air assembly 300. However, the outer wall of the partition 110 is relatively smooth, making it difficult to apply force. Therefore, referring to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the partition 100 is provided with a handle 150. The handle 150 can be set on the side wall of the partition 110, or the handle 150 can also be located on the wall of the partition 110 opposite to the opening end. When installing and removing the partition 110, force can be applied through the handle 150 to reduce the difficulty of installation and removal.

[0061] The detachable connection method between the partition 110 and the inner wall of the cavity 210, and between the cover 510 and the inner wall of the cavity 210, is not limited, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The steam oven 10 may include a mounting member 600, which has a mounting groove 610 and is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 210. Specifically, refer to... Figure 4 The mounting part 600 can be formed by bending the edge of the opening on the inner wall of the cavity 210 to improve the integrity of the mounting part 600 and the inner wall of the cavity 210, and prevent the mounting part 600 from falling off the inner wall of the cavity 210 after a period of use.

[0062] Reference Figures 3 to 6 The open end of the partition 110 has a first mounting portion 115, which is formed by bending the edge of the opening of the partition 110 to improve the integrity of the first mounting portion 115 and the partition 110, and to prevent the first mounting portion 115 from falling off the partition 110 after a period of use. When installing the partition 110 into the cavity 210, the partition 110 is pushed into the cavity 210 so that the first mounting portion 115 is embedded in the mounting groove 610, thus completing the installation of the partition 110.

[0063] Reference Figures 8 to 10The edge of the cover 510 has a second mounting portion 512, which can be formed by bending the edge of the cover 510 to improve the integrity of the second mounting portion 512 and the cover 510 and avoid the second mounting portion 512 from falling off the cover 510 after being used for a period of time. When the cover 510 is mounted inside the cavity 210, the cover 510 is pushed into the cavity 210, and the second mounting portion 512 is embedded in the mounting groove 610, and the installation of the cover 510 is completed.

[0064] It can be understood that the direction of the mounting groove 610 should extend along the direction in which the partition 110 is pushed into the cavity 210. Referring to Figure 3 The first mounting portion 115 can be provided with two first mounting portions 115, which are symmetrically arranged above and below the opening of the partition 110. The mounting member 600 is provided with two mounting members 600, and the positions of the two mounting members 600 correspond to the positions of the two first mounting portions 115. After the two mounting members 600 are matched with the two first mounting portions 115, the partition 110 can be supported above and below the partition 110, and the stability is high.

[0065] The detachable connection between the partition 110 and the inner wall of the cavity 210 can also be replaced by other schemes. Referring to Figures 11 to 12 The steam oven 10 can include an elastic clamping member 400. Referring to Figure 12 The elastic clamping member 400 includes a deformation portion 410 and an abutting portion 420. Referring to Figure 12 One end of the deformation portion 410 is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 210 on which the hot air assembly 300 is mounted, and the other end is connected to the abutting portion 420. The partition 110 is a shell with an open end. The inside of the open end of the partition 110 has a clamping surface 112. When the partition 110 is mounted inside the cavity 210, the partition 110 can be pushed in the direction of the inner wall on which the hot air assembly 300 is mounted. The deformation portion 410 deforms in the direction of the inside of the partition 110 until the abutting portion 420 reaches the position of the clamping surface 112. The deformation portion 410 rebounds, and the abutting portion 421 abuts against the clamping surface 112, and the installation of the partition 110 is completed.

[0066] The formation of the clamping surface 112 of the partition 110 is not limited. Referring to Figure 12The opening end of the partition 110 can be provided with a bent edge that is bent inward, and the end of the bent edge forms the clamping surface 112. The elastic clamping piece 400 extends into the interior of the partition 110, and the abutting portion 420 abuts against the clamping surface 112. Alternatively, the opening end of the partition 110 can be provided with a bent edge that is bent outward, and the end of the bent edge forms the clamping surface 112. The elastic clamping piece 400 is outside the partition 110, and the abutting portion 420 abuts against the clamping surface 112. Alternatively, a boss can be arranged inside or outside the opening end of the partition 110, and the boss forms the clamping surface 112 on the side that is away from the edge of the opening end of the partition 110. Alternatively, other forms can be provided as long as the abutting portion 420 of the elastic clamping piece 400 can abut against the clamping surface 112.

[0067] When the partition 110 is removed, the abutting portion 420 needs to be disengaged from the clamping surface 112. To make the removal process more labor-saving, referring to Figure 12 , the deformed portion 410 can be provided with a guide-out surface 411. In the direction from the end of the deformed portion 410 that is away from the abutting portion 420 to the end that is close to the abutting portion 420, the guide-out surface 411 is inclined toward the abutting side 421. Thus, a relatively smooth transition can be formed between the guide-out surface 411 and the abutting side 421. When the partition 110 is removed, the partition 110 is pulled away from the shelf 500. As a result, the abutting side 421 is disengaged from the clamping surface 112, and the partition 110 can be smoothly removed.

[0068] When the partition 110 is installed, the abutting portion 420 needs to be smoothly guided to the position of the clamping surface 112. To make the installation process more labor-saving, referring to Figure 12 , the elastic clamping piece 400 further includes a guide-in portion 430. The guide-in portion 430 is connected to the end of the abutting portion 420 that is away from the deformed portion 410. The guide-in portion 430 has a guide-in surface 431. In the direction from the end of the guide-in portion 430 that is away from the abutting portion 420 to the end that is close to the abutting portion 420, the guide-in surface 431 is inclined toward the abutting side 421. Thus, a relatively smooth transition can be formed between the guide-in surface 431 and the abutting side 421. When the partition 110 is installed, the partition 110 is pushed toward the shelf 500. As a result, the abutting side 421 reaches the position of the clamping surface 112, and the abutting side 421 is clamped to the clamping surface 112 under the resilience of the deformed portion 410. Thus, the partition 110 can be smoothly installed.

[0069] The inner wall where the hot air assembly 300 is installed can be provided with four elastic clamping pieces 400. The four elastic clamping pieces 400 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the position where the hot air assembly 300 is arranged. The four elastic clamping pieces 400 are clamped to the opposite two sides of the partition 110. Thus, the stability of the installation of the partition 110 can be improved. The number and arrangement position of the elastic clamping pieces 400 are not limited to the above-described solutions. The number and arrangement position of the elastic clamping pieces 400 can be arranged according to actual needs.

[0070] The elastic clamping piece 400 can be formed by sheet metal processing, which is relatively simple to process, can reduce production cost, and has a longer service life and is not easy to be damaged. In addition, the elastic clamping piece 400 made of metal is convenient to be welded with the inner wall of the cavity 210, and has high connection strength. In addition to being installed by welding, the elastic clamping piece 400 and the inner wall of the cavity 210 can also be installed by screw connection, gluing and other methods, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0071] With reference to Figure 10 , the hot air cover assembly 500 can further include a shelf 520 connected to one side of the cover body 510. With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in the second state, the cover body 510 is closer to the air outlet end of the hot air assembly 300 relative to the shelf 520. In the first state, when the air frying function of the steam oven 10 is used, the food material cooked by the air frying function is usually small in size and can be placed in the food material bearing piece 120, so the shelf 520 is not needed. In the second state, when the steam baking function of the steam oven 10 is used, the shelf 520 is needed to support the baking tray to place the food material with large size. Therefore, the shelf 520 is arranged in the hot air cover assembly 500 and connected to the outer side of the cover body 510. The shelf 520 is installed only when the steam baking function is used in the second state, and is removed when the air frying function is used in the first state. The air outlet end of the hot air assembly 300 is not blocked by other components, which can further improve the hot air volume in the cooking space 111 in the first state.

[0072] The setting position of the hot air assembly 300 is not limited to the side of the cavity 210. With reference to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the hot air assembly 300 is arranged on the inner wall of the top of the cavity 210. The air frying assembly 100 shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 can be used, which includes a partition piece 110 and a food material bearing piece 120. In the first state of the steam oven 10, the partition piece 110 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the cavity 210. The partition piece 110 and the inner wall of the cavity 210 define a cooking space 111. The cooking space 111 accommodates the hot air assembly 300. The food material bearing piece 120 is accommodated in the cooking space 111. The volume of the cooking space 111 is smaller than the volume of the cavity 210. The hot air assembly 300 can only drive the air in the cooking space 111 to flow and heat the air in the cooking space 111. This can improve the heating efficiency of the hot air assembly 300 on the air and the circulation efficiency of the air, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the hot air and meeting the demand of the air frying function. The bottom of the food material bearing piece 120 is provided with a ventilation hole 121. The outer surface of the food material bearing piece 120, the inner wall of the cavity 210 and the partition piece 110 define a hot air duct 113. With reference to Figure 14In the direction indicated by the arrow, the hot air generated by the hot air assembly 300 can flow to the air vent 121 along the hot air duct 113 and blow upward from the air vent 121, so as to heat the lower part of the food, and the upper part of the food can be heated under the thermal radiation of the heat pipe of the hot air assembly 300, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the upper and lower parts of the food and improving the cooking effect.

[0073] The shape of the partition 110 can be set according to actual needs, and the partition 110 can define a cooking space 111 with a smaller volume in the cavity 210, and can define the hot air duct 113 with the inner wall of the cavity 210 and the outer surface of the food carrier 120. Refer to Figures 13 to 16 , the partition 110 is disc-shaped, the food carrier 120 is placed on the partition 110, and the partition 110 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 210 in the circumferential direction, thereby defining a cooking space 111 with a smaller volume in the cavity 210, and the top inner wall and the side inner wall of the cavity 210, the upper surface of the partition 110, and the outer surface of the food carrier 120 define the hot air duct 113.

[0074] The disc-shaped partition 110 can be used in the steam oven 10 provided with the hot air assembly 300 on the top inner wall. When the air frying assembly 100 is installed, the food carrier 120 can be placed on the partition 110, and then the partition 110 and the food carrier 120 are placed in the cavity 210. The disc-shaped partition 110 can provide a placement position for the food carrier 120 and save materials. In addition, during cooking using the air frying function, the food may produce juice, which will flow out of the food carrier 120 and fall into the partition 110. When there is a large amount of juice, it may also flow from the partition 110 to the inner wall of the cavity 120, making cleaning more difficult. The disc-shaped partition 110 can also function to collect the juice flowing out of the food carrier 120. During cooking, the juice produced by the food will flow into the disc-shaped partition 110, which can contain a certain amount of juice, thereby preventing the juice from flowing to the inner wall of the cavity 120. After cooking, the partition 110 can be removed from the cavity 120 for cleaning. The disc-shaped partition 110 is relatively easy to clean, which can reduce the difficulty of cleaning.

[0075] To form the hot air duct 113, a gap is required between the bottom of the food carrier 120 and the partition 110. Refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16, the air-frying assembly 100 further comprises a support 130 in the shape of a foot, which is connected to the food material carrier 120 and can be connected by welding, threaded connection, gluing, etc., or can be integrally formed with the food material carrier 120; the support 130 is placed in the partition 110, and the support 130 supports the food material carrier 120, so that there is a gap between the bottom of the food material carrier 120 and the partition 110, ensuring that hot air can be blown from the bottom of the food material carrier 120 to the food material. The support 130 in the shape of a foot supports the food material carrier 120 while having a small size, so it has a small blocking effect on the hot air in the hot air duct 113 and has a small effect on the cooking effect. Referring to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the support 130 can be provided in four, and the four supports 130 are arranged on the four sides of the food material carrier 120 to provide stable support for the food material carrier 120. The number and arrangement position of the support 130 are not limited to the above-mentioned scheme and can be arranged according to actual needs. Figure 15 and Figure 16 .

[0076] It can be understood that the above-mentioned support 130 can also be connected to the partition 110, and the food material carrier 120 is placed on the support 130. In addition to directly placing the food material carrier 120 on the partition 110, the food material carrier 120 and the partition 110 can also be detachably connected by buckling, bolts, etc., to further improve the stability of the food material carrier 120. It should be noted that considering that juice may flow into the partition 110 during cooking, the food material carrier 120 and the partition 110 should be arranged as a separable structure, such as the above-mentioned direct placement or detachable connection, to reduce the difficulty of cleaning.

[0077] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the side inner wall of the cavity 210 can be provided with a limiting groove 211, and the outer periphery of the partition 110 has a limiting flange 114. In the first state of the steam oven 10, the partition 110 is inserted into the cavity 210, the limiting flange 114 is embedded in the limiting groove 211, the groove wall of the limiting groove 211 abuts against the limiting flange 114, thereby supporting the partition 110, and the disassembly process is relatively simple and stable.

[0078] The forming method of the limiting groove 211 is not limited, and referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14The protrusions 212 can be formed by protruding the inner wall of the cavity 210, and the limiting grooves 211 are formed between two adjacent protrusions 212, and the protrusions 212 can be formed by stamping; or the protrusions can be formed on the inner wall of the cavity 210, and the limiting grooves 211 are formed between two adjacent protrusions, and the protrusions can be integrally formed with the inner wall of the cavity 210, or connected with the inner wall of the cavity 210 by welding, gluing, screwing or the like.

[0079] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 13 The integrated appliance includes the cooktop 20 and the steam oven 10 of any of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, and the steam oven 10 is installed on the cooktop 20. The steam oven 10 with two different detachable components, i.e., the air-frying component 100 and the hot-air cover component 500, can replace different components according to different functions, so as to ensure that the integrated appliance has more functions and improve the cooking effect of different functions.

[0080] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present application.
