[0026] This application is described in detail below. Examples of embodiments of this application are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of known technologies that are unnecessary for the features of this application are omitted.

[0027] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless specifically stated otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” “the,” and “the” used herein may also include the plural forms. It should be further understood that the term “comprising” as used in the specification of this application means the presence of the stated features, integers, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. The term “and / or” as used herein includes all or any units and all combinations thereof of one or more associated listed items.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a waste water treatment system, mainly including a cooking component 1, a waste water pump 2, an evaporation assembly 3, and a three-way pipe 4. The cooking component 1 has a cooking chamber for drying the waste water inside the cooking chamber; the evaporation assembly 3 has a waste water output end and a steam output end, and the waste water output end of the evaporation assembly 3 is connected to the input end of the waste water pump 2; the first end of the three-way pipe 4 is connected to the output end of the waste water pump 2, and the second end of the three-way pipe 4 is connected to the cooking chamber, for the waste water flowing out of the evaporation assembly 3 to flow into the cooking chamber; the third end of the three-way pipe 4 is connected to the steam output end of the evaporation assembly 3, for the steam flowing out of the evaporation assembly 3 to flow into the cooking chamber to cook the food.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cooking component 1 is positioned on a horizontal surface. The cooking component 1 includes a housing with a cooking chamber inside. This cooking chamber holds food and contains a heating element to raise the temperature within the chamber, enabling a baking function. An evaporator assembly 3 generates sufficient steam and directs it into the cooking chamber for steaming. A residual water pump 2 pumps residual water from the evaporator assembly 3 into the cooking chamber after cooking, allowing the heating element within the chamber to dry the water. A three-way pipe 4 connects the cooking chamber, the residual water pump 2, and the evaporator assembly 3. During the steam generation phase of the evaporator assembly 3, the residual water pump 2 operates, allowing the generated steam to enter the cooking chamber. During the operation of the residual water pump 2, the evaporator assembly 3 does not operate, i.e., it does not generate steam, allowing residual water to be transported into the cooking chamber.

[0030] The waste water treatment system provided in this application embodiment pumps the waste water in the evaporation component 3 into the cooking chamber through the waste water pump 2. The waste water is dried through the drying function of the cooking chamber. It can effectively treat the waste water at any time, avoid the growth of bacteria, prevent the growth of bacteria from reducing the cooking quality, and improve the user experience.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the evaporation assembly 3 includes an evaporator 31 and a water level box 32. The evaporator 31 has an evaporation chamber inside; the water level box 32 has a water storage chamber inside; a pressure balancing pipe 33 and a water level balancing pipe 34 are both connected to the evaporation chamber and the water storage chamber, so that the water storage chamber and the evaporation chamber have the same water level.

[0032] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, both the evaporator 31 and the water level box 32 are arranged on a horizontal plane. The evaporator 31 is used to generate water vapor. The two ends of the pressure balance pipe 33 are respectively connected to the top of the evaporator 31 and the water level box 32, and are used to transport the water vapor generated by the evaporator 31 so that the water storage chamber and the evaporation chamber have the same pressure. The two ends of the water level balance pipe 34 are respectively connected to the bottom of the evaporator 31 and the water level box 32, and are used for water flow in the evaporation chamber and the water storage chamber so that the water level in the water storage chamber and the evaporation chamber has the same height.

[0033] In some embodiments, a water level sensor is provided on the water level box 32 to monitor the water level in the water storage chamber and then the water level in the evaporation chamber. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the water storage chamber has reached the warning level, the residual water treatment system can remind the user to add water or perform automatic water replenishment to prevent the evaporator 31 from burning dry, avoid the scale generated by dry burning, eliminate the safety hazards caused by dry burning, and thus extend the service life.

[0034] As an alternative implementation, the third end of the three-way pipe 4 is connected to the air pressure balance pipe 33.

[0035] Using the above scheme, the steam generated by the evaporation component 3 can be introduced into the cooking chamber to achieve the corresponding cooking function.

[0036] As an alternative implementation, the input end of the residual water pump 2 is connected to the water level balancing pipe 34.

[0037] By using the above method, excess water can be extracted as much as possible, avoiding any residual water.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the waste water treatment system also includes a water tank 5 and a water pump 6, with the input end of the water pump 6 connected to the water tank 5 and the input end of the water pump 6 connected to the water level balance pipe 34.

[0039] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, the water tank 5 is used to store purified water. When water needs to be replenished, the water pump 6 extracts the purified water from the water tank 5 and delivers it to the water storage chamber and the evaporation chamber.

[0040] As an optional implementation, the cooking component 1 includes two interfaces communicating with the inside and outside of the cooking cavity. The first interface is connected to the second end of the three-way pipe 4, and the second interface is connected to the pressure balance pipe 33 through the steam delivery pipe 8.

[0041] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, two interfaces are provided on the side wall of the cooking component 1, which are connected to the inside and outside of the cooking cavity. The two interfaces are arranged relatively and spaced apart. The two interfaces are used to connect steam during the steam generation stage of the evaporation component 3. The first interface is used to connect residual water during the working stage of the residual water pump 2. The steam delivery pipe 8 is not connected to the residual water pump 2 and is only used to deliver steam. The second interface is used when no residual water is connected during the working stage of the residual water pump 2.

[0042] In one optional implementation, the three-way pipe 4 includes a first pipe 41 and a second pipe 42 connected at an angle. The end of the first pipe 41 away from the second pipe 42 serves as the first end of the three-way pipe 4, and the two ends of the second pipe 42 serve as the second end and the third end of the three-way pipe 4, respectively. The angle between the axis of the first pipe 41 and the axis of the second pipe 42 is less than 90 degrees, such that the third end of the three-way pipe 4 is higher than the second end.

[0043] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, in this embodiment, both the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42 are straight pipes. The first pipe 41 is vertically arranged, and its top end is the first end of the three-way pipe 4, used to connect with the output end of the residual water pump 2. The bottom end of the first pipe 41 is connected to the second pipe 42, and the connection point between the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42 is located between the two ends of the second pipe 42. The second pipe 42 is inclined, with one end higher than the other. The lower end of the second pipe 42 is the second end of the three-way pipe 4, used to connect with the cooking cavity. The higher end of the second pipe 42 is the third end of the three-way pipe 4, used to connect with the pressure balance pipe 33 of the evaporator assembly 3. In this way, the residual water flows through the first end of the three-way pipe 4 to the connection point between the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42. Since the third end of the three-way pipe 4 is higher than the second end, and the second pipe 42 is inclined, under the action of gravity, the residual water flows along the second pipe 42 to the second end of the three-way pipe 4 and flows into the cooking cavity, instead of flowing to the third end of the three-way pipe 4 and then back to the evaporator assembly 31.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the waste water treatment system also includes a filter 7, which is disposed between the waste water output end of the evaporation component 3 and the input end of the waste water pump 2.

[0045] By adopting the above solution, it is possible to avoid the malfunction caused by scale being pumped out during the water pumping stage of the residual water pump 2.

[0046] The wastewater treatment process will be described in detail below:

[0047] The timer starts from the last steam function activation and continues until the set time, such as 72 hours. A prompt will then appear to indicate the need for residual water removal. After the user activates the residual water removal function, pump 2 will pump water for the set time, such as 20 seconds, to remove all remaining water. Once pumping is complete, the control panel will indicate that residual water in the cooking cavity needs to be removed. The user can choose to wipe it manually or select drying. If drying is selected, the heating element in the cooking cavity will heat up and maintain the temperature between 180 and 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

[0048] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application provide a cooking device, including a waste water treatment system of any of the foregoing embodiments of this application.

[0049] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, the cooking device is a steam oven or an integrated cooking center.

[0050] By applying the embodiments of this application, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0051] The residual water in the evaporation component 3 is pumped into the cooking chamber by the residual water pump 2. The residual water is dried by the drying function of the cooking chamber. This can effectively treat the residual water at any time, prevent the growth of bacteria, prevent the growth of bacteria from reducing the cooking quality, and improve the user experience.
