[0040] The following examples illustrate the present application but do not limit the present application. Modifications and / or equivalent substitutions to the specific implementations of the present application, or to parts of the technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present application, shall be included in the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Reference Figures 1-3 The present embodiment provides a cooking device with cleaning function, which can be a steamer or a steam oven, comprising an inner container 1, a cleaning mechanism 2 and a power mechanism 3 for driving the cleaning mechanism 2 to move, wherein the inner container 1 has a mounting surface 11, which is the bottom surface of the inner container, the top surface of the inner container or any side wall surface of the inner container, and the mounting surface 11 is provided with at least one opening 110. In the present embodiment, the mounting surface 11 is the bottom surface of the inner container, and the bottom surface of the inner container is provided with two or more openings 110 arranged in the front-rear direction, which are in the shape of long strips.

[0043] The cleaning mechanism 2 is movably arranged outside the mounting surface 11 and connected to the power mechanism 3, i.e. the cleaning mechanism 2 is movably arranged at the bottom of the inner container 1 and connected to the power mechanism 3, and it can open or close each opening 110. When the cleaning mechanism 2 opens any opening 110, the cleaning mechanism 2 can spray steam or cleaning water through the opening 110 towards the inside of the inner container 1, which facilitates automatic cleaning of the inner container. Referring to Figures 4-7 , on the contrary, when the cleaning mechanism 2 closes all the openings 110, the cleaning mechanism 2 can be hidden at the bottom of the inner container 1, without occupying the space inside the inner container 1, so that the inside of the inner container 1 is more spacious and aesthetically pleasing. Referring to Figure 1 .

[0044] Reference Figures 2-3 The cleaning mechanism 2 comprises a moving plate 21 and a spray head assembly 22. The moving plate 21 is movably arranged outside the mounting surface 11 and connected to the power mechanism 3, i.e. the moving plate 21 is movably arranged at the bottom of the inner container 1 and connected to the power mechanism 3. The moving plate 21 is provided with at least one mounting groove 210, and blocking portions 211 are formed at the front and rear ends of each mounting groove 210. The blocking portions 211 are configured to close at least one opening 110. The mounting groove 210 is configured to open towards the mounting surface 11 and is adapted to communicate with any opening 110. In each mounting groove 210, a spray head assembly 22 is installed, which can move with the moving plate 21 to the opening 110 or away from the opening 110. In this way, when the spray head assembly 22 moves to the opening 110, it can spray steam or cleaning water through the opening 110 towards the inside of the inner container 1, which facilitates the use of steam to heat the inner container and / or cook food (see Figures 5-6 ), or facilitates the use of steam or cleaning water to automatically clean the inner container 1 (see Figure 7) ; when the nozzle assembly 22 moves away from the hole 110, the nozzle assembly 22 can be hidden at the bottom of the inner container 1, without occupying the space of the inner container 1, so that the inner container 1 is more spacious and beautiful, refer to Figure 1 .

[0045] In the embodiment, the number of the holes 110 is designed to be one more than the number of the nozzle assemblies 22 or the mounting grooves 210, and the number of the holes 110 is three, and the number of the nozzle assemblies 22 and the mounting grooves 210 is two. The moving plate 21 is in the shape of “M”, and of course, it can also be designed in the shape of “I”. The two mounting grooves 210 and the four blocking parts 211 are arranged on the horizontal section of the moving plate 21. All the blocking parts 211 are sequentially arranged from front to back. The first blocking part 211 (i.e. the front blocking part 211) is configured to close all the holes 110, and the remaining blocking parts 211 are configured to close any hole 110.

[0046] In order to facilitate the connection of the moving plate 21 and the power mechanism 3, the flange 213 extending outward is fixed on the side of the moving plate 21 close to the power mechanism 3. The flange 213 is formed by bending the lower end of the vertical section on the right side of the moving plate 21 towards the power mechanism 3. The power mechanism 3 is in driving connection with the flange 213.

[0047] In order to facilitate the discharge of the residual water in the inner container 1, refer to Figure 3 , the water drainage groove 214 is arranged on the horizontal section of the moving plate 21. The water drainage groove 214 is located between the two nozzle assemblies 22, and is configured to be in communication with any hole 110. When the water drainage groove 214 is in communication with any hole 110 with the moving plate 21, the residual water in the inner container 1 can be discharged into the water drainage groove 214 through the hole 110, so that the residual water can be conveniently treated by the cleaning mechanism 2, refer to Figures 5-7 . It is particularly pointed out that in other embodiments, a water drainage opening can be arranged on the bottom or the lower end of the side wall of the inner container 1, so that the discharge and treatment of the residual water are independent of the cleaning of the inner container.

[0048] refer to Figure 3The spray head assembly 22 comprises a spray head support 221, an elastic member (not shown in the figure) and a spray nozzle 222. Each installation slot 210 is provided with a spray head support 221, which is provided with an assembly hole 2211 opening towards the installation surface 11 and suitable for accommodating the spray nozzle 222. The spray nozzle 222 is movably arranged at the assembly hole 2211 and is communicated with cleaning water or steam through a connecting pipe, which can be a hose or an elastic pipe. The elastic member is a spring, which is installed in the assembly hole 2211 or the installation slot 210 and abuts or connects the lower end of the spray nozzle 222. The pre-tightening force of the elastic member is configured to always push the spray nozzle 222 to move towards the installation surface 11. Thus, when the spray head assembly 22 moves to the opening, the spray nozzle 222 penetrates into the inner container through the opening 110 under the pre-tightening force of the elastic member; when the spray head assembly 22 moves away from the opening, the spray nozzle 222 is pressed downwards by the bottom of the inner container and is compressed by the elastic member, so that the spray nozzle 222 can be completely hidden. At this time, the user cannot see the spray nozzle 222 from the inner container through the opening, so that the inner container looks more spacious and beautiful. Figure 1 or Figures 5-6 .

[0049] Referring to Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 2 further comprises a water inlet assembly 23, and the spray nozzle 222 of the spray head assembly 22 is communicated with the water inlet assembly 23. In the embodiment, the water inlet assembly 23 comprises an evaporator 231 and a water inlet pipe 232. The water inlet of the evaporator 231 is communicated with a water source through the water inlet pipe 232, and the gas outlet of the evaporator 231 is communicated with the spray nozzle 222 of the spray head assembly 22 through a connecting pipe. In this way, by controlling the working state of the evaporator 231, steam or cleaning water can be provided to the spray head assembly 22. The cleaning water can be normal temperature water or high temperature water.

[0050] Referring to Figures 2-3 The power mechanism 3 is installed outside the installation surface 11 and is located outside the moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2. The power mechanism 3 comprises a driver 31, a transmission rod 32 and a sliding member 33.

The transmission rod 32 is arranged in the front-rear direction of the bottom of the inner container, and the rear end of the transmission rod 32 is connected with the output end of the driver 31. The sliding member 33 is sleeved on the transmission rod 32 and can move along the length direction of the transmission rod 32. When the driver 31 drives the transmission rod 32 to rotate forward or reversely, the transmission rod 32 can drive the sliding member 33 to move forward or reversely along the transmission rod 32 while rotating. The moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2 is transmissionally connected with the transmission rod 32 through the sliding member 33. Specifically, the flange 213 on the right side of the moving plate 21 is transmissionally connected with the transmission rod 32 through the sliding member 33.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2, the cooking device further comprises a drainage mechanism 4, which is selectively communicated with the opening hole 110 through the cleaning mechanism 2 to realize the drainage of the residual water in the inner container by the cleaning mechanism 2. Of course, the drainage mechanism 4 can be directly communicated with a drainage port provided at the bottom or lower end of the side wall of the inner container 1, or the drainage mechanism 4 is communicated with the drainage port through the cleaning mechanism 2.

[0052] In the embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 2 has a drainage part opening towards the mounting surface 11, which is a drainage groove 214 selectively communicated with the opening hole 110. The drainage mechanism 4 comprises a drainage pump 41 and a drainage pipe 42, the drainage pump 41 is arranged at the bottom of the inner container, the suction inlet of the drainage pump 41 is communicated with the drainage groove 214, and the drainage outlet of the drainage pump 41 is communicated with the sewer through the drainage pipe 42.

[0053] Reference Figures 2-4 , the cooking device further comprises a guide mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is arranged between the bottom of the inner container and the moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism, and the moving plate 21 is slidingly connected with the guide mechanism, so that the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2 is guided. In the embodiment, the guide mechanism comprises two guide parts 51, which are arranged side by side in the left-right direction outside the mounting surface 11 of the inner container, each guide part 51 is arranged in the front-rear direction, and a sliding groove 52 is formed between each guide part 51 and the mounting surface 11. Of course, a sliding groove 52 can also be arranged on each guide part 51. The left and right ends of the transverse section of the moving plate 21 are respectively slidingly connected with the two sliding grooves 52, and the nozzle assembly 22 and the evaporator 231 are arranged between the two guide parts 51. In order to avoid the left-right displacement of the moving plate 21, the two vertical sections of the moving plate 21 are respectively hooked on the side of the two guide parts 51 away from the nozzle assembly 22.

[0054] Reference Figures 2-4 , the cooking device further comprises a fixed frame 6, which is connected and fixed outside the mounting surface 11, i.e. the fixed frame 6 is connected and fixed at the bottom of the inner container. The two guide parts 51 are arranged in the fixed frame 6, and the front and rear ends of each guide part 51 are respectively connected with the front and rear edges of the fixed frame 6. The power mechanism 3, at least part of the cleaning mechanism 2 and at least part of the drainage mechanism 4 are all installed in the fixed frame 6.

[0055] In the embodiment, the two guide portions 51 divide the inner part of the fixed frame 6 into the third cavity 603, the first cavity 601 and the second cavity 602 arranged in the left-right direction. At least part of the cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged in the first cavity 601, and a pipe hole is formed in the rear edge of the fixed frame 6 for the water inlet pipe to pass through. The power mechanism 3 is arranged in the second cavity 602, and the motor support 34 in the power mechanism 3 is fixedly connected with the fixed frame 6 or the bottom of the inner container. At least part of the water draining mechanism 4 is arranged in the third cavity 603, and a pipe hole is formed in the rear edge of the fixed frame 6 for the water draining pipe 42 to pass through.

[0056] The working principle of the cooking device will be described below in combination with Figure 1 and Figures 5-7 .

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 , when the cooking device is in a non-use state or a hidden state, i.e., the cooking device is not in a cleaning state or a cooking state, the power mechanism 3 drives the moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2 to move rearward, so that the blocking portion 211 at the front end of the moving plate 21 covers or closes all the holes 110. At this time, the nozzle assembly 22 of the cleaning mechanism 2 is hidden in the bottom of the inner container, and the inner container 1 appears to be atmospheric and beautiful.

[0058] Referring to Figures 5-6 , when the cooking device is in a cooking state, the power mechanism 3 drives the moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2 to move forward, so that the nozzle assembly 22 of the cleaning mechanism 2 moves to the rear or middle hole 110. Taking the case that the nozzle assembly 22 moves to the middle hole 110, at this time, the nozzle assembly 22 passes through the middle hole 110 upward and extends into the inner container 1, so as to spray steam into the inner container through the nozzle assembly 22, so as to preheat the inner container or heat the food in the inner container. At the same time, the water draining groove 214 on the moving plate 21 is in communication with the rear hole 110, and the residual water in the inner container flows into the water draining groove 214 through the rear hole 110, and the water cup water draining mechanism 4 in the water draining groove 214 is sucked out, so as to drain the residual water in the inner container.

[0059] Referring to Figure 7 , when the cooking device is in a cleaning state, the power mechanism 3 drives the moving plate 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2 to move forward, so that the two nozzle assemblies 22 of the cleaning mechanism 2 move to the rear and front holes 110 respectively. At this time, the nozzle assembly 22 can pass through the corresponding hole 110 upward and extend into the inner container 1, so as to spray cleaning water into the inner container through the nozzle assembly 22, so as to realize automatic cleaning of the inner container 1. At the same time, the water draining groove 214 on the moving plate 21 is in communication with the middle hole 110, so as to drain the residual water in the inner container.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] Referring to Figures 8-11The difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 1 is the shape of the opening 110 and the cleaning mechanism 2. In the present embodiment, the mounting surface 11 (i.e. the bottom of the inner container) is provided with two or more openings 110 arranged in the left-right direction at intervals, and the openings 110 are circular. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a moving plate 21 and at least one spray head assembly 22. The present embodiment takes an example in which the number of openings 110 and the number of spray head assemblies 22 are both three, and one spray head assembly 22 is provided below each opening 110 outside the mounting surface 11 (i.e. the bottom of the inner container), each spray head assembly 22 is unable to move relative to the bottom of the inner container, and each spray head assembly is capable of spraying steam or cleaning water into the inner container 1 through the corresponding opening 110.

[0062] Reference Figures 10-11 The moving plate 21 is movably provided between the mounting surface 11 and the spray head assemblies 22 and is connected to the power mechanism 3, and the moving plate 21 has a blocking portion 211 for closing each opening 110 and three through holes 212 for communicating with different openings 110. In the present embodiment, the moving plate 21 is in the shape of "ㄇ", one through hole 212 is provided in the middle of the front end of the moving plate 21 to form a front row of holes, and the other two through holes 212 are provided on the left and right sides of the rear end of the moving plate 21 to form a rear row of holes, and the center points of the three through holes 212 form a triangle.

[0063] When the moving plate 21 is in the initial state, the blocking portion 211 covers or closes all the openings 110 between the front row of holes and the rear row of holes, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 8 Or Figure 10 When the moving plate 21 is driven to move forward to the front, the front row of holes communicates with the middle opening 110, the left and right openings are closed, and the middle spray head assembly 22 is exposed to open the middle opening, so that the spray head assembly 22 sprays steam into the inner container through the middle opening to heat the inner container or the food in the inner container, as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 12 When the moving plate 21 is driven to move forward to the rear, the rear row of holes communicates with the left and right openings 110, the middle opening is closed, and the left and right spray head assemblies 22 are exposed to open the left and right openings, so that the left and right spray head assemblies 22 spray cleaning water into the inner container through the corresponding openings to automatically clean the inner container, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 12 .

[0064] Reference Figures 9-10The spray head assembly 22 comprises a nozzle 222 and a water receiving box 223. The water receiving box 223 is arranged on the side of the moving plate 21 away from the mounting surface 11 and corresponds to the opening 110, and is used to receive water flowing from the corresponding opening 110. The nozzle 222 is arranged on the water receiving box 223 and the water outlet or air outlet direction of the nozzle 222 is towards the opening 110. In this embodiment, the water receiving box 223 is in the shape of a circular truncated cone with a large upper end and a small lower end, so that the water receiving box 223 is in a flared structure, avoiding the interference of the peripheral wall surface of the water receiving box 223 with the spray area of the nozzle 222. Water through holes 2231 are arranged on the bottom surface of the water receiving box 223 in a circumferential direction, so as to drain water in the water receiving box 223. It can be seen that the spray head assembly 22 of this embodiment not only can spray steam or cleaning water towards the inside of the inner container, but also can conveniently drain residual water in the inner container.

[0065] In order to receive water flowing from the water receiving box 223, the spray head assembly 22 further comprises a fixing seat 224. The fixing seat 224 is arranged on the side of the moving plate 21 away from the mounting surface 11, i.e. the fixing seat 224 is arranged below the transverse section of the moving plate 21. The fixing seat 224 has a water containing groove 2241 which is open towards the opening 110, and the water containing groove 2241 serves as a water draining part of the cleaning mechanism 2. Each water receiving box 223 is inserted into the water containing groove 2241 at an end away from the opening 110. The water containing groove 2241 is connected to the inside of the water receiving box 223 through the water through holes 2231, and is connected to the water suction inlet of the water pump 41 of the water draining mechanism 4, so that the water pump 41 can suck out water in the inner container and into the water containing groove 2241.

[0066] In order to facilitate the fixing of the spray head assembly 22, with reference to Figure 10 The guiding mechanism further comprises a connecting plate 50.
