Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cooking equipment, in particular to a cooking equipment with steaming function. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cooking equipment with steaming function such as steam oven generates steam for cooking food by heating water with a heating disc installed on the bottom wall of the inner container, for example, Chinese invention patent No. ZL202010324714.3 (authorized announcement No. CN113545658B), Chinese invention patent No. ZL202010620846.0 (authorized announcement No. CN111820728B), etc. However, after cooking is completed, a large amount of steam is left in the inner container, and if the door is directly opened at this time, a large amount of steam will directly spray the user, which has the risk of scalding the user.

[0003] In the existing cooking equipment, an exhaust passage with an exhaust fan is generally arranged above the inner container, and the remaining gas is exhausted through the exhaust passage under the driving of the exhaust fan. However, if the steam left in the inner container after cooking is directly exhausted through the exhaust passage, a large amount of condensed water will be formed at the air outlet of the exhaust passage, and the condensed water will flow to the surface of the machine, which seriously affects the user's experience. To solve this problem, the steam left in the inner container is generally cooled by air cooling or water cooling. However, this also causes a new problem, the condensed water formed in the inner container will be left on the inner surface of the inner container, which needs to be manually cleaned by the user, which is troublesome and affects the user's experience. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application solves the technical problem of the prior art by providing a cooking equipment with steaming function and steam condensing function without the need for the user to manually clean the condensed water.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problem is as follows: a cooking equipment with steaming function, comprising an inner container with a front opening, characterized in that it further comprises:

[0006] a condensing chamber having an air inlet communicating with the inner cavity of the above-mentioned inner container;

[0007] a flow guide member arranged in the above-mentioned condensing chamber and used to drive the steam in the inner cavity of the inner container to enter the condensing chamber in a cooking end state;

[0008] a cooling member for cooling the steam entering the condensing chamber in a cooking end state;

[0009] a water collecting container arranged outside the above-mentioned inner container and used to collect condensed water, and having a condensed water inlet in fluid communication with the condensed water outlet of the above-mentioned condensing chamber;

[0010] The control structure is used to control the opening and closing of the condensate outlet and the condensate inlet, and in the initial state, the condensate outlet and the condensate inlet are disconnected and the condensate outlet is sealed, while in the cooking end state, the condensate outlet and the condensate inlet are connected.

[0011] Further, the flow guide is a fan blade and is arranged opposite to the air inlet. When the cooking is finished, the flow guide works to form a negative pressure at the air inlet, thereby driving the remaining steam in the inner cavity of the inner container to enter the condensing chamber through the air inlet.

[0012] Further, the cooling member is arranged on the flow guide. The remaining steam in the inner container enters the flow guide through the air inlet under the driving of the negative pressure, and at the same time, the cooling member can cool the steam, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling member on the steam and improving the condensing efficiency of the steam.

[0013] Further, the flow guide comprises a base plate and blades arranged on the base plate, the blades are arranged in a circumferential direction with the center axis of the flow guide as the center, and the cooling member is a plate member and is respectively attached to each blade. After the steam enters the flow guide, it is blown outward under the centrifugal force of the flow guide. By designing the cooling member as above, the cooling time of each cooling member on the steam can be maximized, thereby improving the cooling effect of the steam and improving the condensing effect of the steam.

[0014] Further, each of the blades is perpendicular to the base plate, and each of the cooling members is arranged on the same side surface of the corresponding blade. Thereby, the cooling effect of each cooling member on the steam can be further improved.

[0015] Further, the control structure comprises a control chamber with a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the water inlet is in fluid communication with the condensate outlet of the condensing chamber, and the water outlet is in fluid communication with the condensate inlet of the water collecting container,

[0016] And, the control gear set is arranged in the control chamber, and the control gear set comprises at least two control gears arranged in a straight line, and adjacent control gears are engaged with each other, and one of the control gears is connected with the flow guide, and the arrangement direction of the control gear set intersects with the interval direction between the water inlet and the water outlet. In this way, when the control gears in the control gear set do not rotate, the control gear set blocks the water inlet and the water outlet, the water inlet and the water outlet are disconnected, the control gear set seals the condensation water outlet of the condensation chamber by blocking the water inlet, and the sealing of the condensation water outlet is realized by the water film formed between the tooth surfaces of the control gears and the inner surface of the condensation chamber and the water film formed between adjacent control gears, so that the sealing of the condensation water outlet is realized without additional sealing structure, and the sealing of the inner container in the cooking state is ensured. When the control gears in the control gear set rotate, the condensate water on one side of the control gears is driven to the other side by the rotation of the control gears, so that the dynamic communication between the condensate water outlet and the condensate water inlet and the dynamic driving of the condensate water are realized, and the condensate water can flow into the water collecting container smoothly without additional electrical elements such as water pump. In addition, one of the control gears in the control gear set is connected with the flow guide, so that when the flow guide rotates, the control gears in the control gear set rotate, and when the flow guide does not rotate, the control gears in the control gear set do not rotate, so that the synchronous action of the flow guide and the control gear set is realized, and the synchronization of steam condensation and condensate water transportation is realized.

[0017] Further, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively arranged at two ends of the control chamber, and the control gear set is arranged in the cross-sectional direction of the control chamber, and the middle axis surface of the control gear set matches the cross-sectional size of the control chamber at the position. In this way, when the control gears in the control gear set do not rotate, the control gear set can better block the water inlet and the water outlet, and can better seal the condensation water outlet.

[0018] Further, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively arranged opposite to the control gear set. On the one hand, in the case that the control gears do not rotate, the control gear set can further better block the water inlet and the water outlet, and can further better seal the condensation water outlet; on the other hand, in the case that the control gears rotate, the transportation of the condensate water from the water inlet to the water outlet can be better realized.

[0019] Further, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively arranged opposite to the engagement position of a pair of adjacent control gears of the control gear set. In this way, the rotation of the control gears can more efficiently drive the condensate water to flow from the water inlet to the water outlet.

[0020] Further, a first rotating gear is mounted on the shaft of the flow guide, and a second rotating gear is coaxially arranged on one of the control gears, and the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are linked through a transmission gear set. Thus, the rotation of the flow guide drives the first transmission gear, the first transmission gear drives the second transmission gear through the transmission gear set, and the corresponding control gear is driven to rotate, and then each control gear of the control gear set is driven to rotate.

[0021] Further, the transmission gear set includes a first transmission gear, a second transmission gear, a third transmission gear, and a fourth transmission gear, wherein the first transmission gear and the second transmission gear are coaxially arranged and engaged with the first rotating gear, and the third transmission gear and the fourth transmission gear are coaxially arranged and engaged with the second rotating gear. Thus, the transmission between the first rotating gear and the second transmission gear can be realized.

[0022] Further, the condensing chamber is arranged at the back of the inner container, the condensing water outlet is arranged on the bottom wall of the condensing chamber, and the water collecting container and the control structure are arranged below the inner container. Thus, when the cooking is completed, the remaining steam in the inner container is driven to the condensing chamber, so that the steam can be prevented from directly spraying the user when the door is opened, and the condensing water can be collected into the water collecting container through the dynamic pumping of the control gear set without a water pump.

[0023] Further, the water collecting container is a box body and is arranged on the lower front side of the opening of the inner container along the left-right direction, and one side of the back wall of the water collecting container is provided with the condensing water inlet. Thus, the water collecting container can be used to collect the condensing water formed in the condensing chamber and the condensing water dropped from the door body, and the control block is arranged below the corresponding side of the inner container. The control block is hollow and forms the control chamber, the water inlet of the control chamber is connected with the condensing water outlet through the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet is connected with the condensing water inlet of the water collecting container through the water outlet pipe. Thus, the control chamber can be arranged through a simple structure.

[0024] Further, the outer side of the back plate of the inner container is covered with the condensing cover to form the condensing chamber, and the air inlet is arranged on the back plate of the inner container. Thus, the condensing chamber structure can be formed through a simple arrangement, and the cooking space in the inner container is not occupied.

[0025] Further, the condensing cover includes a vertical end wall, and the edge of the end wall extends forward along the circumferential direction from the back to the front to form a flow guide ring wall. The flow guide is mounted on the end wall, and the condensing water outlet is arranged on the flow guide ring wall below the flow guide. The flow guide ring wall can guide the formed condensing water to the condensing water outlet.

[0026] Furthermore, the end wall of the condenser shroud protrudes outward to form a groove that matches the size of the aforementioned guide member. The guide member is located in front of this groove, and the motor for driving the guide member is mounted on the outer surface of the condenser shroud where the groove is located. By setting the groove, the negative pressure generated when the guide member rotates is increased, thereby accelerating the efficiency of steam entering the condenser chamber and thus improving the condensation efficiency of the steam. In addition, the above design maximizes the distance between the motor and the inner liner, thereby reducing the impact of the heat generated by the inner liner during operation on the motor and extending its service life.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the present invention has a condensation chamber, in which a flow guide and a cooling component are respectively provided, and the condensation chamber has a condensation outlet that can be fluidly connected with the condensation inlet of the water collection container. At the same time, a control structure for controlling the on / off state of the condensation outlet and the condensation inlet is also provided.

[0028] Furthermore, in the initial state, the aforementioned condensate outlet is disconnected from the condensate inlet and the condensate outlet is sealed, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the inner pot during cooking. When cooking is finished, the remaining steam in the inner cavity of the inner pot enters the condensation chamber under the drive of the guide component, and quickly condenses into condensate under the guidance of the guide component and the cooling of the cooling component. The condensate is collected in the water collection container through the condensate outlet.

[0029] As can be seen, this invention solves the problem of residual steam in the inner pot after cooking, avoids steam directly spraying into the user when the door is opened, and prevents condensation from accumulating and flowing at the vent due to steam being discharged through the venting channel. In addition, it also solves the problem of cleaning condensation residue on the inner surface of the inner pot. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating direction are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0042] like Figures 1-10As shown, a cooking appliance with a steaming function (e.g., a steam oven, steam oven, etc.) includes an inner liner 1 with a front opening, a condenser chamber 20, a guide vane 3, a cooling component 4, and a control structure 6. The condenser chamber 20 has an air inlet 21 communicating with the inner cavity of the inner liner 1. The guide vane 3 is disposed in the condenser chamber 20 and is used to drive steam from the inner cavity of the inner liner 1 into the condenser chamber 20 when cooking is finished. The cooling component 4 is used to cool the steam entering the condenser chamber 20 when cooking is finished. A water collection container 5 is disposed outside the inner liner 1 and is used to collect condensate. It has a condensate inlet 51 that is fluidly communicating with the condensate outlet 221 of the condenser chamber 20. The control structure 6 controls the connection and disconnection of the condensate outlet 221 and the condensate inlet 51. Initially, the condensate outlet 221 is disconnected from the condensate inlet 51 and the condensate outlet 221 is sealed. When cooking is finished, the condensate outlet 221 is connected to the condensate inlet 51.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the present invention has a condensation chamber 20, in which a flow guide 3 and a cooling component 4 are respectively provided, and the condensation chamber 20 has a condensation outlet 221 that can be fluidly connected with the condensation inlet 51 of the water collection container 5. Simultaneously, a control structure 6 is provided for controlling the opening and closing of the condensation outlet 221 and the condensation inlet 51. Furthermore, in the initial state, the condensation outlet 221 is disconnected from the condensation inlet 51 and the condensation outlet 221 is sealed, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the inner liner 1 during cooking. In the state after cooking, the remaining steam in the inner cavity of the inner liner 1 enters the condensation chamber 20 under the drive of the flow guide 3, and rapidly condenses into condensation water under the guidance of the flow guide 3 and the cooling component 4. The formed condensation water is collected in the water collection container 5 through the condensation outlet 221. As can be seen, the present invention solves the problem of residual steam in the inner pot 1 after cooking, avoids steam directly spraying into the user when the door is opened, and avoids the problem of condensate water accumulating and flowing from the exhaust port caused by steam being discharged through the exhaust channel. In addition, it also solves the problem of condensate water remaining on the inner surface of the inner pot 1.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the aforementioned guide vane 3 is a fan blade and is positioned opposite to the aforementioned air inlet 21. When cooking is finished, the guide vane 3 operates, creating a negative pressure at the air inlet 21, which in turn drives the remaining steam in the inner cavity of the inner pot 1 through the air inlet 21 into the condenser chamber 20. Preferably, the air inlet 21 is directly opposite the guide vane 3, and the size of the air inlet 21 matches the size of the fan blade of the guide vane 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the aforementioned cooling element 4 is disposed on the aforementioned guide element 3. While the remaining steam in the inner liner 1 enters the guide element 3 through the air inlet 21 under negative pressure, the cooling element 4 cools the steam, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling element 4 on the steam, and further improving the condensation efficiency of the steam. Preferably, as follows... Figure 10 As shown, the aforementioned flow guide 3 includes a substrate 31 and blades 32 disposed on the substrate 31. The blades 32 are arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the flow guide 3, and the aforementioned cooling components 4 are plates respectively attached to each blade 32. After steam enters the flow guide 3, it is blown outward under the centrifugal force of the flow guide 3. By designing the cooling components 4 as described above, the cooling time of each cooling component 4 for steam can be extended to the maximum extent, thereby improving the cooling effect of steam and thus improving the condensation effect of steam. More preferably, each of the aforementioned blades 32 is perpendicular to the aforementioned substrate 31, and each cooling component 4 is disposed on the same side surface of the corresponding blade 32, thereby further improving the cooling effect of each cooling component 4 for steam. In this embodiment, the aforementioned cooling components 4 can specifically be semiconductor cooling chips, heat sinks, etc.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the control structure 6 includes a control chamber 610 with an inlet 6101 and an outlet 6102. The inlet 6101 is in fluid communication with the condensate outlet 221 of the condenser chamber 20, and the outlet 6102 is in fluid communication with the condensate inlet 51 of the water collection container 5. Furthermore, a control gear set 62 is installed in the control chamber 610. This control gear set 62 includes at least two control gears 621 arranged in a straight line. Adjacent control gears 621 mesh with each other, and one of the control gears 621 is linked to the guide member 3. The arrangement direction of the control gear set 62 intersects the distance direction between the inlet 6101 and the outlet 6102. In this way, when the control gears 621 in the control gear set 62 are not rotating, the control gear set 62 blocks the inlet 6101 and the outlet 6102, disconnecting the inlet 6101 and the outlet 6102. The control gear set 62 seals the condensate outlet 221 of the condensing chamber 20 by sealing the inlet 6101. Furthermore, the condensate outlet 221 is sealed by the water film formed between the control gear teeth of the control gear set 62 and the inner surface of the condensing chamber 20, as well as the water film formed between adjacent control gears 621. Thus, the condensate outlet 221 can be sealed without the need for a separate sealing structure, ensuring the airtightness of the inner pot 1 during cooking. When the control gears 621 in the control gear set 62 are rotating, the rotation of each control gear 621 can carry the condensate from one side (inlet 6101 side) to the other side (outlet 6102 side), thereby achieving dynamic communication between the condensate outlet 221 and the condensate inlet 51 and dynamic driving of the condensate. This allows the condensate to flow smoothly into the collection container 5 without the need for additional electrical components such as a water pump. Furthermore, one control gear 621 in the control gear set 62 is linked to the aforementioned guide member 3. Thus, when the guide member 3 is rotating, the control gears 621 in the control gear set 62 rotate; when the guide member 3 is not rotating, the control gears 621 in the control gear set 62 do not rotate. This achieves synchronous operation between the guide member 3 and the control gear set 62, thereby synchronizing steam condensation and condensate transport.

[0047] Furthermore, the aforementioned inlet 6101 and outlet 6102 are respectively located at both ends of the control chamber 610, while the aforementioned control gear set 62 is arranged along the cross-sectional direction of the control chamber 610, and the size of the central axis surface of the control gear set 62 matches the cross-sectional size of the control chamber 610 at its location. Thus, when the control gears 621 of the control gear set 62 are not rotating, the control gear set 62 can better isolate the inlet 6101 and outlet 6102, and also better seal the aforementioned condensate outlet 221. Preferably, the inlet 6101 and outlet 6102 are respectively arranged directly opposite the aforementioned control gear set 62. On the one hand, when the control gears 621 are not rotating, the control gear set 62 can further better isolate the inlet 6101 and outlet 6102, and also further better seal the aforementioned condensate outlet 221; on the other hand, when the control gears 621 are rotating, it can better realize the transportation of condensate from the inlet 6101 to the outlet 6102. More preferably, the inlet 6101 and outlet 6102 are respectively aligned with the meshing points of a pair of adjacent control gears 621 of the control gear set 62. This allows the rotation of each control gear 621 to more efficiently drive the condensate water from the inlet 6101 to the outlet 6102. In this embodiment, specifically, the control gear set 62 has two control gears 621.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, a first rotating gear 81 is mounted on the fan blade shaft of the aforementioned guide member 3. A second rotating gear 82 is coaxially mounted on one of the control gears 621 in the aforementioned control gear set 62. The second rotating gear 82 and the first rotating gear 81 are linked through a transmission gear set 83. Thus, the rotation of the guide member 3 drives the first transmission gear 81, which in turn drives the second transmission gear 832 via the transmission gear set 83, thereby driving the corresponding control gear 621 to rotate, and further driving each control gear 621 of the control gear 621 to rotate. Specifically, the aforementioned transmission gear set 83 includes a first transmission gear 81, a second transmission gear 832, a third transmission gear 833, and a fourth transmission gear 834. The first transmission gear 81 and the second transmission gear 832 are coaxially mounted and mesh with the first rotating gear 81. The third transmission gear 833 and the fourth transmission gear 834 are coaxially mounted and mesh with the second rotating gear 82. This enables transmission between the first rotating gear 81 and the second transmission gear 832.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the condenser chamber 20 is located on the back of the inner liner 1, the condensate outlet 6102 is located on the bottom wall of the condenser chamber 20, and the water collection container 5 and the control structure 6 are both located below the inner liner 1. Thus, when cooking is finished, the remaining steam in the inner liner 1 is driven backward into the condenser chamber 20, thereby better preventing steam from directly spraying onto the user when the door is opened. Furthermore, the gravity of the condensate, combined with the dynamic pumping action of the control gear set 62, allows the condensate to be smoothly collected into the water collection container 5 without the need for a separate water pump.

[0050] Specifically, a condenser cover 2 is installed on the outer side of the back panel of the inner liner 1 to form the condensation chamber 20, and the air inlet 21 is located on the back panel of the inner liner 1. This simple setup allows for the formation of the condensation chamber 20 without requiring additional cooking space inside the inner liner 1. Furthermore, the condenser cover 2 includes a vertically extending end wall 24. The edge of the end wall 24 extends circumferentially from back to front to form a flow guide ring wall 22. The flow guide 3 is mounted on the end wall 24, and the condensate outlet 6102 is located on the flow guide ring wall 22 and below the flow guide 3. The flow guide ring wall 22 directs the condensate to the condensate outlet 6102. Further, the end wall 24 of the condenser cover 2 protrudes outward to form a groove 23 matching the size of the flow guide 3. The flow guide 3 is located in front of the groove 23, and the motor 7 for driving the flow guide 3 is mounted on the outer surface of the condenser cover 2 where the groove 23 is located. By setting the groove 23, the negative pressure formed when the guide 3 rotates is increased, thereby accelerating the efficiency of steam entering the condenser chamber 20, thereby improving the condensation efficiency of steam. Furthermore, the above design can maximize the distance between the motor 7 and the inner liner 1, thereby reducing the impact of the heat generated by the inner liner 1 on the motor 7 during operation and extending its service life.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water collection container 5 is a box-shaped structure positioned at the lower front of the opening of the inner liner 1 along the left-right direction. A condensate inlet 51 is provided on one side of the rear wall of the water collection container 5. This allows the water collection container 5 to collect condensate formed in the condensation chamber 20 while also collecting condensate dripping from the door. A control block 61 is provided on the lower side of the corresponding side of the inner liner 1. This control block 61 is hollow, forming the control chamber 610. The inlet 6101 of the control chamber 610 is connected to the condensate outlet 6102 via an inlet pipe 91, and the outlet 6102 is connected to the condensate inlet 51 of the water collection container 5 via an outlet pipe 82. This simple structure allows for the installation of the control chamber 610. In this embodiment, the control block 61 is made of heat-insulating material to prevent the water film formed by high-temperature evaporation from affecting the sealing effect of the condensate outlet 221 when the control gears 521 of the control gear set 62 are not rotating.

[0052] The "fluid connection" referred to in the invention refers to the spatial relationship between two components or parts (hereinafter collectively referred to as the first part and the second part, respectively), that is, a fluid (gas, liquid or a mixture of both) can flow from the first part along a flow path and / or be transported to the second part. This can be a direct connection between the first part and the second part, or an indirect connection between the first part and the second part through at least one third party. The third party can be a fluid channel such as a pipe, channel, conduit, guide, hole, groove, or a chamber that allows fluid to flow through, or a combination of the above.
