Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular relates to a cooking box body and a cooking appliance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steam oven in the prior art comprises a steam generating device, and the steam generating device is prone to water leakage after long-time use. If the water leaked by the steam generating device flows to other electrical elements in the cooking appliance, the electrical elements are prone to electric leakage or damage. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the problems in the prior art or related art.

[0004] To this end, a first object of the present application is to provide a cooking box body.

[0005] A second object of the present application is to provide a cooking appliance.

[0006] To achieve at least one of the above objects, according to a first aspect of the present application, a cooking box body is provided, comprising: a mounting plate; a steam generating device arranged on the mounting plate; a liquid collecting groove arranged on the mounting plate, the liquid collecting groove being used to collect liquid leaked by the steam generating device; and a liquid discharge pipe assembly in communication with the liquid collecting groove, the liquid discharge pipe assembly being used to discharge liquid in the liquid collecting groove.

[0007] The cooking box body provided in the present application can be used in a cooking appliance. In order to enable the cooking appliance to have the function of steaming food, a steam generating device is arranged in the cooking box body. Specifically, the steam generating device can form steam for cooking food, and the steam can be transmitted into a cooking cavity of the cooking box body, so that the food in the cooking cavity can be cooked by the steam. In order to fix the steam generating device, a mounting plate is arranged in the cooking box body, and the steam generating device is arranged on the mounting plate to be fixed and mounted.

[0008] Understandably, the steam generating device stores a liquid for generating steam, and after long-term use of the steam generating device, the sealing structure in the steam generating device is at risk of aging and failure, thereby causing the steam generating device to leak, and the liquid stored in the steam generating device can drip onto the mounting plate. Since the mounting plate also has an electrical element installed thereon, if the liquid dripped from the steam generating device flows to the electrical element, the electrical element is prone to a fault phenomenon of electric leakage or failure. In order to avoid damage to the electrical element caused by the liquid leaked from the steam generating device, the application provides a liquid collecting groove on the mounting plate, which collects the liquid leaked from the steam generating device to avoid the liquid flowing on the mounting plate, thereby achieving the protection effect of the electrical element. Specifically, the liquid collecting groove is recessed on the surface of the mounting plate, the opening of the liquid collecting groove is flush with the surface of the mounting plate, and the liquid collecting groove is close to the steam generating device, so that the liquid dripped from the steam generating device can quickly flow into the liquid collecting groove, avoiding the liquid flowing to the electrical element along the surface of the mounting plate.

[0009] Further, a liquid discharge pipe assembly for discharging the liquid accumulated in the liquid collecting groove is also provided in the cooking box. Specifically, the liquid discharge pipe assembly is in communication with the liquid collecting groove, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can be discharged outside the liquid collecting groove through the liquid collecting pipe assembly, so that too much liquid accumulated in the liquid collecting groove can be avoided to cause the liquid to overflow from the liquid collecting groove.

[0010] By providing the liquid collecting groove on the mounting plate of the cooking box, the liquid dripped from the steam generating device can be collected through the liquid collecting groove, avoiding the liquid flowing to the electrical element along the surface of the mounting plate, avoiding the electrical element being soaked by the liquid to cause electric leakage or failure, and achieving the technical effect of protecting the electrical element. By providing the liquid discharge pipe assembly in communication with the liquid collecting groove in the cooking box, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can be discharged through the liquid discharge pipe assembly, avoiding too much liquid accumulated in the liquid collecting groove to cause the liquid to overflow from the liquid collecting groove, thereby further protecting the electrical element. In this way, the service life of the electrical element provided on the mounting plate can be prolonged, and the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance are improved.

[0011] According to the above-mentioned cooking box of the application, the following distinguished technical features can also be provided:

[0012] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises a liquid discharge port provided on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove, and the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove is inclined toward the direction of the liquid discharge port.

[0013] In the technical solution, the structure of the liquid collecting groove is further limited. In order to facilitate the discharge of the liquid in the liquid collecting groove, a liquid discharge port for discharging liquid is arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove, and the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove is inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge port, so as to facilitate the flow of liquid to the liquid discharge port. Understandably, if the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove is arranged in a horizontal structure, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove will be evenly distributed at various positions of the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove, which is easy to cause the liquid to remain in the corners of the liquid collecting groove. In order to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid in the liquid collecting groove and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove, the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove is arranged as an inclined surface, specifically, the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove is inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge port, so that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can flow along the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove to the liquid discharge port under the action of its own gravity, so as to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove.

[0014] By arranging the liquid discharge port on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove and arranging the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove to be inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge port, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can flow along the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove to the liquid discharge port under the action of its own gravity, so as to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove.

[0015] In the above technical solution, further, the liquid discharge pipe assembly is connected to the liquid discharge port and communicates with the liquid discharge port.

[0016] In the technical solution, the structure of the liquid discharge pipe assembly and the liquid collecting groove is further limited, the liquid discharge pipe assembly is connected to the liquid discharge port and communicates with the liquid discharge port. Specifically, after the liquid leaked from the steam generating device flows into the liquid collecting groove, the liquid flows along the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove to the liquid discharge port under the action of its own gravity, and since the liquid discharge port communicates with the liquid discharge pipe assembly, the liquid can flow into the liquid discharge pipe assembly through the liquid discharge port, and then the liquid is discharged outside the liquid collecting groove through the liquid discharge pipe assembly.

[0017] By connecting the liquid discharge port arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove with the liquid discharge pipe assembly, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can be discharged through the liquid discharge pipe assembly, realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the liquid discharge pipe assembly comprises: a pipe joint arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove, the pipe joint communicates with the liquid discharge port; a liquid discharge pipe, a first end of the liquid discharge pipe is connected with the pipe joint.

[0019] In the technical solution, the structure of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is limited. The liquid discharge pipe assembly comprises a pipe joint and a liquid discharge pipe. The pipe joint is connected to the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove, and specifically, the pipe joint is connected to the position of the liquid discharge opening. In this way, the liquid discharge opening and the pipe joint are in communication. Further, the liquid discharge pipe comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of the liquid discharge pipe is connected to the pipe joint. Since the two ends of the pipe joint are respectively connected to the liquid discharge opening and the liquid discharge pipe, the liquid discharge opening and the liquid discharge pipe are in communication through the pipe joint. The liquid in the liquid collecting groove flows through the liquid discharge opening and the pipe joint in sequence and then flows into the liquid discharge pipe. The liquid discharge pipe can discharge the liquid in the liquid collecting groove.

[0020] Further, the pipe joint has a sealing function. A sealing element is arranged in the pipe joint. The sealing element is used to seal the connection position of the pipe joint and the liquid discharge opening and the connection position of the pipe joint and the liquid discharge pipe. In this way, the leakage of the liquid from the connection position between the liquid discharge opening and the pipe joint and the connection position between the liquid discharge pipe and the pipe joint can be avoided, and the sealing effect of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is improved.

[0021] By arranging the liquid discharge pipe and the pipe joint connected to the liquid discharge pipe and the liquid discharge opening in the liquid discharge pipe assembly, on the one hand, the liquid discharge pipe and the liquid discharge opening are in communication through the pipe joint, and the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is realized. On the other hand, the liquid discharge pipe and the liquid discharge opening are sealed through the pipe joint, and the leakage of the liquid between the flow through the liquid discharge opening and the flow into the liquid discharge pipe is avoided, and the sealing effect of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is improved.

[0022] In the above technical solution, further, the second end of the liquid discharge pipe is in communication with the outside.

[0023] In the technical solution, the structure of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is further limited. The second end of the liquid discharge pipe is in communication with the outside. Specifically, the first end of the liquid discharge pipe is in communication with the liquid discharge opening arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove through the pipe joint. The liquid in the liquid collecting groove can flow into the liquid discharge pipe through the first end of the liquid discharge pipe. In order to discharge the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe, the second end of the liquid discharge pipe is in communication with the outside. In this way, the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe can be discharged to the outside through the second end of the liquid discharge pipe, so as to realize the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe.

[0024] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box body further comprises a main body comprising a cooking cavity; an air inlet pipe in communication with the cooking cavity, the air inlet pipe being used to discharge the steam formed by the steam generating device into the cooking cavity; and the second end of the liquid discharge pipe being capable of being in communication with the air inlet pipe.

[0025] In the technical solution, another structure of the liquid discharge pipe is limited. The cooking box body includes a main body including a cooking cavity, and a second section of the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the cooking cavity, and the liquid discharge pipe can discharge the liquid in the liquid collecting groove into the cooking cavity. In order to communicate the liquid discharge pipe with the cooking cavity, the application further provides an air inlet pipe communicated with the cooking cavity in the cooking box body, and the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the air inlet pipe, so that the communication between the liquid discharge pipe and the cooking cavity is realized.

[0026] Specifically, the steam generating device can form steam and discharge the steam through a steam outlet of the steam generating device, the air inlet pipe is communicated with the steam outlet of the steam generating device, so that the steam generating device can discharge the steam into the air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is also communicated with the cooking cavity, so that the steam can be discharged into the cooking cavity. The second end of the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the air inlet pipe, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove can flow into the air inlet pipe through the liquid discharge pipe. The liquid flowing into the air inlet pipe can flow into the cooking cavity under the driving of the steam flow, thereby realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly.

[0027] By providing the air inlet pipe communicated with the cooking cavity in the cooking box body, and communicating the liquid discharge pipe with the air inlet pipe, the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe can be discharged into the air inlet pipe, and then the liquid is discharged into the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe, so as to realize the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly. In this way, damage of the liquid to other electrical elements in the cooking appliance can be avoided.

[0028] In the above technical solution, further, the liquid discharge pipe assembly further includes a valve body provided in the liquid discharge pipe, and the valve body can open or close the liquid discharge pipe.

[0029] In the technical solution, the structure of the liquid discharge pipe assembly is further limited. The liquid discharge pipe assembly further has a valve body provided in the liquid discharge pipe, and the valve body can open or close the liquid discharge pipe. Understandably, when the steam generating device is running, the steam generating device discharges steam into the cooking cavity, and the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe. If the liquid discharge pipe is in an open state, the steam in the cooking cavity is likely to be discharged through the air inlet pipe and the liquid discharge pipe, resulting in a phenomenon of air leakage of the cooking cavity, which will affect the cooking effect of the cooking appliance. In order to avoid this problem, the application provides a valve body in the liquid discharge pipe, which can open or close the liquid discharge pipe. When the cooking appliance cooks the food in the cooking cavity, the liquid discharge pipe can be closed by the valve body to avoid the steam in the cooking cavity leaking through the liquid discharge pipe. When the cooking cavity does not need to be kept in a steam cooking state, the liquid discharge pipe can be opened by the valve body to communicate the liquid discharge pipe with the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe, and the liquid discharge pipe can discharge the liquid in the liquid collecting groove into the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe, thereby realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly.

[0030] In the above technical solution, further, the valve body is a one-way valve, and the valve body can block the liquid and the gas from flowing from the second end of the liquid discharge pipe to the first end of the liquid discharge pipe.

[0031] In the technical solution, the valve body is further limited. Specifically, the valve body is a one-way valve, and the valve body can block liquid and gas from flowing from the second end of the liquid drain pipe to the first end of the liquid drain pipe. Understandably, when the cooking utensil cooks the food in the cooking cavity, if the steam in the cooking cavity leaks, it is easy to cause the cooking effect of the cooking utensil to be poor. By setting the valve body as a one-way valve, the valve body can prevent the steam in the cooking cavity from flowing from the second end of the liquid drain pipe to the first end of the liquid drain pipe through the liquid drain pipe, so as to avoid the liquid drain pipe leaking the steam in the cooking cavity and improve the cooking effect of the cooking utensil. When the liquid in the liquid collection tank flows into the liquid drain pipe from the first end of the liquid drain pipe, the valve body can one-way open the liquid drain pipe, so that the liquid in the liquid drain pipe flows from the first end of the liquid drain pipe to the second end of the liquid drain pipe, and then the liquid is discharged into the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe, realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid drain pipe assembly.

[0032] By setting the valve body as a one-way valve, on the one hand, the steam in the cooking cavity can be prevented from flowing from the second end of the liquid drain pipe to the first end of the liquid drain pipe through the liquid drain pipe, so as to avoid the liquid drain pipe leaking the steam in the cooking cavity, and on the other hand, the liquid in the liquid drain pipe can be one-way conducted to flow from the first end of the liquid drain pipe to the second end of the liquid drain pipe, and then the liquid is discharged into the cooking cavity through the air inlet pipe, realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid drain pipe assembly.

[0033] In the above technical solution, further, in the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is greater than or equal to a preset liquid pressure value, the valve body opens the liquid drain pipe; in the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is less than the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body closes the liquid drain pipe.

[0034] In the technical solution, the valve body is further limited, and the valve body can open or close the liquid drain pipe according to the liquid pressure generated by the liquid in the liquid drain pipe and the liquid collection tank. Specifically, in the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is greater than or equal to a preset liquid pressure value, the valve body opens the liquid drain pipe, and in the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is less than the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body closes the liquid drain pipe. Understandably, if the liquid pressure received by the valve body is greater than or equal to the preset liquid pressure value, it indicates that too much liquid is accumulated in the liquid collection tank and the liquid drain pipe at this time, and if the valve body is not opened, the liquid in the liquid collection tank is easy to overflow. Therefore, in the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is greater than or equal to the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body is opened, so that the liquid in the liquid collection tank and the liquid drain pipe can be discharged. In the case that the liquid pressure received by the valve body is less than the preset liquid pressure value, it indicates that the total amount of liquid in the liquid collection tank is not much at this time, and the liquid in the liquid collection tank will not move out, so the liquid drain pipe can be closed at this time.

[0035] By setting the valve body to open or close the liquid drain pipe according to the pressure value of the liquid pressure received by the valve body, the liquid drain pipe can be opened by the valve body to discharge the liquid when there is too much liquid in the liquid collection tank, and the liquid drain pipe can be closed by the valve body when there is less liquid in the liquid collection tank, thereby reducing the opening time of the liquid drain pipe and prolonging the service life of the valve body under the premise of ensuring that the liquid in the liquid collection tank will not overflow.

[0036] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises an exhaust pipe, two ends of the exhaust pipe are respectively communicated with the steam generating device and the air inlet pipe.

[0037] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises an exhaust pipe, two ends of the exhaust pipe are respectively communicated with the steam generating device and the air inlet pipe.

[0038] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises a plurality of air inlets, the plurality of air inlets are respectively close to two sides of the main body, any air inlet is communicated with the cooking cavity, and the air inlet pipe is communicated with the plurality of air inlets.

[0039] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises a plurality of air inlets, the plurality of air inlets are respectively close to two sides of the main body, any air inlet is communicated with the cooking cavity, and the air inlet pipe is communicated with the plurality of air inlets.

[0040] Further, in order to make the steam be uniformly delivered to the cooking cavity, the plurality of air inlets are respectively arranged in regions close to two sides of the main body, and the air inlet pipe uniformly delivers the steam to two sides of the cooking cavity, so that the steam amount of each region in the cooking cavity tends to be balanced.

[0041] In the above technical solution, further, the steam generating device and the mounting plate have a spacing, and the liquid collecting groove is arranged opposite to the steam generating device.

[0042] In the above technical solution, further, the steam generating device and the mounting plate have a spacing, and the liquid collecting groove is arranged opposite to the steam generating device.

[0043] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box further comprises a mounting base arranged on the mounting plate, and the steam generating device is arranged on the mounting base, so that the steam generating device and the mounting plate have a spacing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] In order to enable a more complete understanding of the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, if possible.

[0061] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0062] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings that show embodiments of the present application. Figures 1 to 7 The cooking cabinet 100 and the cooking appliance according to some embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0063] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first aspect of the present application proposes a cooking cabinet 100, comprising: a mounting plate 110; a steam generating device 140, provided on the mounting plate 110; a sump 120, provided on the mounting plate 110, the sump 120 being configured to collect liquid leaked from the steam generating device 140; and a drain pipe assembly 130, in communication with the sump 120, the drain pipe assembly 130 being configured to drain the liquid in the sump 120.

[0064] The cooking box 100 can be used in a cooking appliance. In order to enable the cooking appliance to steam food, the cooking box 100 is provided with a steam generator 140. Specifically, the steam generator 140 can generate steam for cooking food, and the steam can be transmitted into a cooking cavity 170 of the cooking box 100, so that the food in the cooking cavity 170 can be cooked by the steam. In order to fix the steam generator 140, the cooking box 100 is provided with a mounting plate 110, and the steam generator 140 is arranged on the mounting plate 110 to be fixedly mounted.

[0065] Understandably, the steam generator 140 stores a liquid for generating steam. After the steam generator 140 is used for a long time, the sealing structure of the steam generator 140 may age and fail, and thus the steam generator 140 may leak, and the liquid stored in the steam generator 140 may drip onto the mounting plate 110. Since the mounting plate 110 is also provided with electrical components, if the liquid dripping from the steam generator 140 flows to the electrical components, the electrical components may be damaged or fail. In order to avoid the liquid leaking from the steam generator 140 from damaging the electrical components, the application provides a liquid collecting groove 120 on the mounting plate 110, which collects the liquid leaking from the steam generator 140, so as to avoid the liquid flowing on the mounting plate 110 and achieve the protection effect of the electrical components. Specifically, the liquid collecting groove 120 is recessed on the surface of the mounting plate 110, the opening of the liquid collecting groove 120 is flush with the surface of the mounting plate 110, and the liquid collecting groove 120 is close to the steam generator 140. In this way, the liquid dripping from the steam generator 140 can quickly flow into the liquid collecting groove 120, and the liquid can be prevented from flowing to the electrical components along the surface of the mounting plate 110.

[0066] Further, the cooking box 100 is also provided with a liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 for discharging the liquid accumulated in the liquid collecting groove 120. Specifically, the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 communicates with the liquid collecting groove 120, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can be discharged out of the liquid collecting groove 120 through the liquid collecting pipe assembly. In this way, the liquid accumulated in the liquid collecting groove 120 can be prevented from overflowing from the liquid collecting groove 120.

[0067] By arranging the liquid collecting groove 120 on the mounting plate 110 of the cooking box body 100, the liquid dripped by the steam generating device 140 can be collected by the liquid collecting groove 120, so that the liquid is prevented from flowing along the surface of the mounting plate 110 to the electrical components, and the electrical components are prevented from being soaked by the liquid to cause electric leakage or failure, thereby achieving the technical effect of protecting the electrical components. By arranging the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 in communication with the liquid collecting groove 120 in the cooking box body 100, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can be discharged through the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130, so that the liquid is prevented from overflowing from the liquid collecting groove 120 due to excessive accumulation in the liquid collecting groove 120, thereby further protecting the electrical components. In this way, the service life of the electrical components arranged on the mounting plate 110 can be prolonged, and the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance are improved.

[0068] In an embodiment according to the present application, the cooking box body 100 further comprises a liquid discharge opening 121 arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120, and the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 is inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge opening 121.

[0069] In this embodiment, the structure of the liquid collecting groove 120 is further limited. In order to facilitate the discharge of the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120, the liquid discharge opening 121 for discharging the liquid is further arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120, and the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 is inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge opening 121, so as to facilitate the flow of the liquid to the liquid discharge opening 121. Understandably, if the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 is arranged in a horizontal structure, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 will be uniformly distributed at various positions of the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120, which is easy to cause the liquid to remain in the corners of the liquid collecting groove 120. In order to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove 120, the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 is arranged as an inclined surface, specifically, the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 is inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge opening 121, so that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can flow along the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 to the liquid discharge opening 121 under the action of its own gravity, so as to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove 120.

[0070] By arranging the liquid discharge opening 121 on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 and arranging the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 to be inclined towards the direction of the liquid discharge opening 121, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can flow along the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 to the liquid discharge opening 121 under the action of its own gravity, so as to accelerate the discharge speed of the liquid and avoid the liquid remaining in the liquid collecting groove 120.

[0071] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the drain pipe assembly 130 is connected to the drain port 121, and the drain pipe assembly 130 is in communication with the drain port 121.

[0072] In this embodiment, the structure of the drain pipe assembly 130 and the sump 120 is further defined. The drain pipe assembly 130 is connected to the drain port 121, and the drain pipe assembly 130 is in communication with the drain port 121. Specifically, after the liquid leaked from the steam generating device 140 flows into the sump 120, the liquid flows along the bottom wall of the sump 120 to the drain port 121 under the action of its own gravity. Since the drain port 121 is in communication with the drain pipe assembly 130, the liquid can flow into the drain pipe assembly 130 through the drain port 121, and then be drained out of the sump 120 by the drain pipe assembly 130.

[0073] By connecting the drain port 121 provided on the bottom wall of the sump 120 to the drain pipe assembly 130, the liquid in the sump 120 can be drained out through the drain pipe assembly 130, thereby realizing the liquid draining function of the drain pipe assembly 130.

[0074] In one embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 The drain pipe assembly 130 includes a pipe joint 131 provided on the bottom wall of the sump 120, and the pipe joint 131 is in communication with the drain port 121; and a drain pipe 132, a first end of the drain pipe 132 being connected to the pipe joint 131.

[0075] In this embodiment, the structure of the drain pipe assembly 130 is defined. The drain pipe assembly 130 includes the pipe joint 131 and the drain pipe 132. The pipe joint 131 is connected to the bottom wall of the sump 120, and specifically, the pipe joint 131 is connected to the position where the drain port 121 is located, so that the drain port 121 is in communication with the pipe joint 131. Further, the drain pipe 132 includes a first end and a second end, and the first end of the drain pipe 132 is connected to the pipe joint 131. Since the two ends of the pipe joint 131 are respectively in communication with the drain port 121 and the drain pipe 132, the drain port 121 and the drain pipe 132 can be connected through the pipe joint 131. The liquid in the sump 120 flows through the drain port 121 and the pipe joint 131 in sequence, and then flows into the drain pipe 132, which can drain the liquid in the sump 120 out.

[0076] Further, the pipe joint 131 has a sealing function. A sealing member is provided in the pipe joint 131 to seal the connection position of the pipe joint 131 and the drain port 121 and the connection position of the pipe joint 131 and the drain pipe 132. In this way, the leakage of liquid from the connection position between the drain port 121 and the pipe joint 131 and the connection position between the drain pipe 132 and the pipe joint 131 can be avoided, and the sealing effect of the drain pipe assembly 130 can be improved.

[0077] By arranging the drain pipe 132 and the pipe joint 131 connected with the drain pipe 132 and the drain port 121 in the drain pipe assembly 130, on the one hand, the drain pipe 132 can be communicated with the drain port 121 through the pipe joint 131 to realize the drainage function of the drain pipe assembly 130, and on the other hand, the drain pipe 132 and the drain port 121 can be sealed through the pipe joint 131 to avoid leakage between the liquid flowing through the drain port 121 and flowing into the drain pipe 132, thereby improving the sealing effect of the drain pipe assembly 130.

[0078] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the second end of the drain pipe 132 is communicated with the outside.

[0079] In this embodiment, the structure of the drain pipe assembly 130 is further limited, and the second end of the drain pipe 132 is communicated with the outside. Specifically, the first end of the drain pipe 132 is communicated with the drain port 121 arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid collecting groove 120 through the pipe joint 131, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can flow into the drain pipe 132 through the first end of the drain pipe 132. In order to drain the liquid in the drain pipe 132, the second end of the drain pipe 132 is communicated with the outside, so that the liquid in the drain pipe 132 can be drained to the outside through the second end of the drain pipe 132 to realize the drainage function of the drain pipe 132.

[0080] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cooking box body 100 further comprises a main body 150 comprising a cooking cavity 170; an air inlet pipe 160 communicated with the cooking cavity 170, the air inlet pipe 160 being used for discharging the steam formed by the steam generating device 140 into the cooking cavity 170; and the second end of the drain pipe 132 being capable of being communicated with the air inlet pipe 160.

[0081] In this embodiment, another structure of the drain pipe 132 is limited. The cooking box body 100 comprises a main body 150 comprising a cooking cavity 170, and the second end of the drain pipe 132 is communicated with the cooking cavity 170, so that the drain pipe 132 can drain the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 into the cooking cavity 170. In order to communicate the drain pipe 132 with the cooking cavity 170, the present application further arranges an air inlet pipe 160 communicated with the cooking cavity 170 in the cooking box body 100, and communicates the drain pipe 132 with the air inlet pipe 160, so as to realize the communication of the drain pipe 132 with the cooking cavity 170.

[0082] Specifically, the steam generating device 140 can form steam and discharge the steam through the steam outlet 141 of the steam generating device 140, the steam inlet pipe 160 is in communication with the steam outlet 141 of the steam generating device 140, and thus the steam generating device 140 can discharge the steam into the steam inlet pipe 160. The steam inlet pipe 160 is also in communication with the cooking cavity 170, so that the steam can be discharged into the cooking cavity 170. The second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 is in communication with the steam inlet pipe 160, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 can flow into the steam inlet pipe 160 through the liquid discharge pipe 132. The liquid flowing into the steam inlet pipe 160 can flow into the cooking cavity 170 under the action of the steam flow, thereby achieving the liquid discharging function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130.

[0083] By providing the steam inlet pipe 160 in communication with the cooking cavity 170 in the cooking box 100, and connecting the liquid discharge pipe 132 with the steam inlet pipe 160, the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe 132 can be discharged into the steam inlet pipe 160, and then the liquid can be discharged into the cooking cavity 170 through the steam inlet pipe 160, thereby achieving the liquid discharging function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130.

[0084] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 further comprises a valve body 133 provided in the liquid discharge pipe 132, and the valve body 133 can open or close the liquid discharge pipe 132.

[0085] In this embodiment, the structure of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 is further limited. The liquid discharge pipe assembly 130 further comprises a valve body 133 provided in the liquid discharge pipe 132, and the valve body 133 can open or close the liquid discharge pipe 132. Understandably, when the steam generating device 140 is running, the steam generating device 140 discharges steam into the cooking cavity 170, and the liquid discharge pipe 132 is in communication with the cooking cavity 170 through the steam inlet pipe 160. If the liquid discharge pipe 132 is in an open state, it is easy to cause the steam in the cooking cavity 170 to be discharged through the steam inlet pipe 160 and the liquid discharge pipe 132, resulting in the phenomenon of gas leakage of the cooking cavity 170, which will affect the cooking effect of the cooking appliance. In order to avoid this problem, the present application provides the valve body 133 in the liquid discharge pipe 132, which can open or close the liquid discharge pipe 132. When the cooking appliance cooks the food in the cooking cavity 170, the valve body 133 can close the liquid discharge pipe 132 to avoid the steam in the cooking cavity 170 leaking through the liquid discharge pipe 132. When the cooking cavity 170 does not need to be kept in a steam cooking state, the valve body 133 can open the liquid discharge pipe 132, so that the liquid discharge pipe 132 is in communication with the cooking cavity 170 through the steam inlet pipe 160. The liquid discharge pipe 132 can discharge the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 into the cooking cavity 170 through the steam inlet pipe 160, thereby achieving the liquid discharging function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130.

[0086] In an embodiment according to the present application, the valve body 133 is a one-way valve, and the valve body 133 is capable of blocking the flow of liquid and gas from the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132.

[0087] In this embodiment, the valve body 133 is further limited. Specifically, the valve body 133 is a one-way valve, and the valve body 133 is capable of blocking the flow of liquid and gas from the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132. Understandably, when the cooking appliance cooks the food material in the cooking cavity 170, if the steam in the cooking cavity 170 leaks, it is easy to cause the cooking effect of the cooking appliance to be poor. By setting the valve body 133 as a one-way valve, the valve body 133 can prevent the steam in the cooking cavity 170 from flowing from the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132, so as to avoid the liquid discharge pipe 132 leaking the steam in the cooking cavity 170, and improve the cooking effect of the cooking appliance. When the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 flows into the liquid discharge pipe 132 from the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132, the valve body 133 can one-way open the liquid discharge pipe 132, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe 132 flows from the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132, and then the liquid is discharged into the cooking cavity 170 through the air inlet pipe 160, realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130.

[0088] By setting the valve body 133 as a one-way valve, on the one hand, the valve body 133 can prevent the steam in the cooking cavity 170 from flowing from the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132, so as to avoid the liquid discharge pipe 132 leaking the steam in the cooking cavity 170, and on the other hand, the valve body 133 can one-way open the liquid discharge pipe 132, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge pipe 132 flows from the first end of the liquid discharge pipe 132 to the second end of the liquid discharge pipe 132, and then the liquid is discharged into the cooking cavity 170 through the air inlet pipe 160, realizing the liquid discharge function of the liquid discharge pipe assembly 130.

[0089] In an embodiment according to the present application, when the liquid pressure acting on the valve body 133 is greater than or equal to a preset liquid pressure value, the valve body 133 opens the liquid discharge pipe 132; when the liquid pressure acting on the valve body 133 is less than the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body 133 closes the liquid discharge pipe 132.

[0090] In this embodiment, the valve body 133 is further defined as being capable of being opened or closed according to the liquid pressure generated by the liquid in the drain pipe 132 and the liquid collecting groove 120. Specifically, when the liquid pressure on the valve body 133 is greater than or equal to a preset liquid pressure value, the valve body 133 opens the drain pipe 132; when the liquid pressure on the valve body 133 is less than the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body 133 closes the drain pipe 132. Understandably, if the liquid pressure on the valve body 133 is greater than or equal to the preset liquid pressure value, it means that too much liquid is accumulated in the liquid collecting groove 120 and the drain pipe 132, and if the valve body 133 is not opened, the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 will overflow. Therefore, when the liquid pressure on the valve body 133 is greater than or equal to the preset liquid pressure value, the valve body 133 is opened to allow the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 and the drain pipe 132 to be drained. When the liquid pressure on the valve body 133 is less than the preset liquid pressure value, it means that the total amount of liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 is not too much, and the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 will not move out, so the drain pipe 132 can be closed at this time.

[0091] By setting the valve body 133 to open or close the drain pipe 132 according to the pressure value of the liquid pressure on it, when there is too much liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120, the valve body 133 can be opened to drain the liquid, and when there is less liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120, the valve body 133 can be closed to reduce the opening time of the drain pipe 132 and prolong the service life of the valve body 133 while ensuring that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove 120 will not overflow.

[0092] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking box 100 further comprises an exhaust pipe 142, both ends of the exhaust pipe 142 being in communication with the steam generating device 140 and the air inlet pipe 160, respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking box 100 is further defined. The cooking box 100 further comprises an exhaust pipe 142, two ends of the exhaust pipe 142 are respectively communicated with the steam generating device 140 and the air inlet pipe 160. Specifically, the steam generating device 140 is provided with a steam outlet 141 for discharging steam, the first end of the exhaust pipe 142 is communicated with the steam outlet 141, and the steam generated by the steam generating device 140 can be discharged into the exhaust pipe 142 through the steam outlet 141. The second end of the exhaust pipe 142 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 160, so that the steam in the exhaust pipe 142 can flow into the air inlet pipe 160, and then flow into the cooking cavity 170 through the air inlet pipe 160. In this way, a complete exhaust path between the steam generating device 140 and the cooking cavity 170 can be formed through the exhaust pipe 142 and the air inlet pipe 160, and the steam generated by the steam generating device 140 flows through the exhaust pipe 142 and the air inlet pipe 160 in turn, and then flows into the cooking cavity 170.

[0094] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cooking box 100 further comprises a plurality of air inlets 151, the plurality of air inlets 151 are respectively arranged near the two sides of the main body 150, any air inlet 151 is communicated with the cooking cavity 170, and the air inlet pipe 160 is communicated with the plurality of air inlets 151.

[0095] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking box 100 is further defined. The cooking box 100 comprises a plurality of air inlets 151, the air inlets 151 are communicated with the cooking cavity 170, the air inlet pipe 160 is communicated with the air inlets 151, and the air inlets 151 can input steam into the cooking cavity 170 through the air inlets 151.

[0096] Further, in order to uniformly deliver steam into the cooking cavity 170, the present application arranges the plurality of air inlets 151 near the two sides of the main body 150, and the air inlet pipe 160 uniformly delivers steam to the two sides of the cooking cavity 170, so that the amount of steam in each area of the cooking cavity 170 can be balanced.

[0097] In an embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the steam generating device 140 and the mounting plate 110 have a spacing, and the liquid collecting groove 120 is arranged opposite to the steam generating device 140.

[0098] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the steam generating device 140 and the mounting plate 110 is defined. Specifically, the steam generating device 140 has a spacing with the mounting plate 110, and the liquid collecting groove 120 is arranged opposite to the steam generating device 140. In the case of leakage of the steam generating device 140, the liquid can directly drop into the liquid collecting groove 120 due to the arrangement of the liquid collecting groove 120 opposite to the steam generating device 140, thereby preventing the liquid from dropping onto the mounting plate 110 and flowing along the mounting plate 110.

[0099] In one embodiment according to the present application, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cooking cabinet 100 further comprises a mounting base 111 arranged on the mounting plate 110, and the steam generating device 140 is arranged on the mounting base 111, so that the steam generating device 140 has a spacing with the mounting plate 110.

The mounting base 111 supports the steam generating device 140, so that the steam generating device 140 has a spacing with the mounting plate 110. In this way, the liquid leaked from the steam generating device 140 can drop into the liquid collecting groove 120, thereby avoiding the liquid flowing along the surface of the mounting plate 110. In one possible embodiment, the number of the mounting bases 111 is two, and the two mounting bases 111 have a spacing therebetween. The two mounting bases 111 are respectively arranged at two ends of the steam generating device 140.
