[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a flow equalizing plate, a steam box and an integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] Steamers generally have two ways of generating steam. One is to set a heating plate at the bottom of the steamer to directly heat the water in the heating plate, which is called the boiling water method; the other is that the steamer is equipped with a steam generator, which heats the water into steam and introduces it into the interior of the steamer. This method is called the direct injection method.

[0003] In direct-injection steamers, steam is generated by the steam generator and then introduced into the steam inlet of the steamer through a pipe, then enters the interior of the steamer, and then reaches the surface of the food to heat the food. When the steam reaches the steaming plate from the steam inlet, the steam temperature and speed at different positions are different, resulting in different heat exchange efficiencies at different positions, which in turn affects the uniformity of steaming the food. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent. To this end, the present application proposes a current equalizing plate.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present application discloses a flow equalizing plate, which is applied to a steamer, wherein the steamer comprises an air inlet, a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber, wherein the first accommodating chamber is connected to the air inlet and is suitable for receiving steam through the air inlet, and the second accommodating chamber is suitable for accommodating food;

[0006] The flow equalizing plate separates the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, and the flow equalizing plate has a plurality of first air holes connecting the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, and the aperture of the first air holes close to the air inlet is smaller than the aperture of the first air holes far from the air inlet.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the axial direction of the first air hole intersects with the axial direction of the air inlet.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the axial direction of the first air hole is perpendicular to the axial direction of the air inlet.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, there is a preset distance between the air inlet and two opposite sides of the flow equalizing plate.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate has a plurality of air permeable areas, each of the air permeable areas is provided with a plurality of first air permeable holes, and the apertures of the first air permeable holes in the same air permeable area are the same.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate has multiple air permeable areas, each of the air permeable areas is provided with multiple first air permeable holes, and the multiple air permeable areas are divided into first air permeable areas and second air permeable areas, the first air permeable areas correspond to the axial direction of the air inlet, the second air permeable areas are located on the side of the first air permeable areas, and the aperture of the first air permeable holes in the first air permeable areas is smaller than the aperture of the first air permeable holes in the second air permeable areas.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate is located above the food.

[0040] The first aspect of the present application proposes a flow equalizing plate 3200, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 will be described in detail below in conjunction with a steam box.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the steamer includes an air inlet 3151, a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400. The first accommodating chamber 3300 is connected to the air inlet 3151, so that steam can be received through the air inlet 3151. The second accommodating chamber 3400 is used to accommodate food. When the food needs to be steamed, the food is placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400. After the steaming of the food is completed, the food needs to be taken out from the second accommodating chamber 3400. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is used to separate the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is provided with a plurality of first air holes 3211, which connect the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, and the aperture of the first air holes 3211 close to the air inlet 3151 is designed to be smaller than the aperture of the first air holes 3211 far away from the air inlet 3151. By setting up the flow equalizing plate 3200, the steam needs to first pass into the first accommodating chamber 3300 before reaching the surface of the food, and then flow out from the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the first air holes 3211 of the flow equalizing plate 3200 and then flow to the food. By optimizing the aperture of the first air holes 3211 at different positions and reducing the differences in the flow rate and flow velocity of the steam in different first air holes 3211, the steam flow is effectively equalized, so that the steam is evenly distributed in the second accommodating chamber 3400, which maximizes the guarantee that the food at different positions is evenly heated, thereby improving the steaming effect of the food.

[0042] Specifically, a steamer is a device that heats water so that the water forms steam, and steams the food through the steam. In the related art, there are two main ways to heat water to form steam, namely, directly heating the heating plate to generate steam and generating steam with a steam generator, as described in the background art. In the related art, the steam generated by the steam generator needs to be connected to the inside of the steamer through a pipeline, and the flow area of ​​the pipeline is much smaller than that of the inside of the steamer. Therefore, the steam transported from the pipeline will be sprayed into the inside of the steamer in a jet-like shape, which will cause the distribution of steam (steam flow, flow rate, temperature, etc.) at different positions inside the steamer to be different, thereby causing uneven heating of the food, affecting the steaming effect of the food. For example, it will cause some parts of the food to mature too early, and in order to ensure that other parts of the food are cooked thoroughly, the steaming time of the food will be extended, which will make the parts that mature too early become aged, making the taste worse, and it is also easy to cause the loss of nutrients. Therefore, in this embodiment, by providing the first accommodating chamber 3300, the second accommodating chamber 3400 and the flow equalizing plate 3200, the uniformity of steam distribution is improved, so that the food is heated more evenly.

[0043] The first accommodating chamber 3300 is a space for accommodating steam. The steam generator needs to be connected to the air inlet 3151 through a pipe, so that the steam generated by the steam generator can be transported to the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the pipe. The second accommodating chamber 3400 is a space for accommodating food, that is, the food to be steamed needs to be placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400. When steaming is completed, the food is taken out from the second accommodating chamber 3400. The first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 both have a certain spatial volume, so that they can respectively accommodate a certain amount of steam and food. The first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 need to be separated by the equalizing plate 3200. By setting the first air hole 3211 on the equalizing plate 3200, the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 are connected through the first air hole 3211. When the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, it will not be immediately ejected to the second accommodating chamber 3400, but will diffuse in the first accommodating chamber 3300 under the obstruction of the cavity wall of the first accommodating chamber 3300. Since the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300 in a jet-like shape, the flow rate of the steam is reduced by setting the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the first accommodating chamber 3300 is equivalent to a buffer for the steam. Since the equalizing plate 3200 separates the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, the equalizing plate 3200 can be regarded as at least a part of the cavity wall of the first accommodating chamber 3300.

[0044] As the steam generator continues to generate steam and passes it into the first accommodating chamber 3300, the air pressure in the first accommodating chamber 3300 gradually increases, and then the steam in the first accommodating chamber 3300 flows out through the first air hole 3211 and then enters the second accommodating chamber 3400. Since there are multiple first air holes 3211, steam can flow out from multiple first air holes 3211 to the second accommodating chamber 3400. Multiple first air holes 3211 can form a larger coverage of the second accommodating chamber 3400, so that the distribution of steam at different positions of the second accommodating chamber 3400 can be more uniform. Compared with the solution without the flow plate 3200, the difference in steam flow rate, temperature, and flow rate at different positions of the second accommodating chamber 3400 can be reduced, thereby ensuring the steaming effect of the food. Preferably, the multiple first air holes 3211 are arranged in an array and are located at the same height, and the same height here means being approximately at the same level.

[0045] It can be understood that when steam flows out from the air inlet 3151 and enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, the first air hole 3211 close to the air inlet 3151 will be in contact with the steam first to allow the steam to flow out, while the first air hole 3211 away from the air inlet 3151 will be in contact with the steam later. Therefore, the flow rate of the first air hole 3211 close to the air inlet 3151 will be larger, while the flow rate of the first air hole 3211 away from the air inlet 3151 will be relatively small. In order to further improve the distribution uniformity of steam when it flows into the second accommodating chamber 3400, this embodiment optimizes the size of the first air hole 3211.

[0046] That is, the aperture of the first air hole 3211 near the air inlet 3151 is designed to be smaller than the aperture of the first air hole 3211 far from the air inlet 3151. Although the first air hole 3211 near the air inlet 3151 is first in contact with the steam and allows the steam to pass through, and the first air hole 3211 far from the air inlet 3151 is later in contact with the steam and allows the steam to pass through, since the aperture of the first air hole 3211 near the air inlet 3151 is relatively small, and the aperture of the first air hole 3211 far from the air inlet 3151 is relatively large, the amount of steam flowing out of the first air hole 3211 near the air inlet 3151 and the amount of steam flowing out of the first air hole 3211 far from the air inlet 3151 can be balanced, thereby further improving the uniformity of steam distribution in the second accommodating chamber 3400.

[0047] The aperture of the first air hole 3211 near the air inlet 3151 mentioned in the previous article is designed to be smaller than the aperture of the first air hole 3211 far from the air inlet 3151. It should be understood as follows: there are at least two first air holes 3211 on the current equalizing plate 3200, and lines are drawn between these two first air holes 3211 and the air inlet 3151. If the length of one of the lines is greater than the length of the other line, then the first air hole 3211 corresponding to the larger line length is far away from the air inlet 3151, and the first air hole 3211 corresponding to the smaller line length is close to the air inlet 3151.

[0048] In some embodiments of the application, Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 intersects with the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 .

[0049] Specifically, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 intersects with the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, which should be understood as the two intersecting in space. For example, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 and the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 are projected onto a plane, and the two intersect or their extended lines intersect. In other words, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 and the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 are non-parallel.

[0050] Since the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300 from the air inlet 3151 in a jet-like shape, if the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 is parallel to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, a part of the steam will directly rush out of the first air hole 3211 aligned with or close to the air inlet 3151, thereby slowing down the diffusion efficiency of the steam in the first accommodating chamber 3300.

[0051] Therefore, in this embodiment, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 is designed to intersect with the axial direction of the air inlet 3151. When the steam is ejected from the air inlet 3151, the jet will not directly rush out of the first air hole 3211. The so-called direct rushing out means that the steam flows in a direction roughly in the same direction as the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 and passes through the first air hole 3211. In this way, the steam needs to turn from the air inlet 3151 to pass through the first air hole 3211, so that the steam can diffuse more quickly in the first accommodating chamber 3300, thereby ensuring the uniform outflow of the steam.

[0052] Preferably, the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 can be designed to be perpendicular to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 to maximize the uniform flow of steam. For example, the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 is the front-to-back direction, while the axial direction of the first air hole 3211 is the up-down direction.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.11 As shown, the air inlet 3151 is spaced a preset distance from the two opposite sides of the flow equalizing plate 3200 , so that the steam diffuses more quickly in the first accommodating chamber 3300 , thereby improving the effect of uniform steam outflow.

[0054] Specifically, when steam is ejected from the air inlet 3151, although the steam is in a jet shape, since the first accommodating chamber 3300 suddenly becomes larger than the air inlet 3151, the steam will diverge toward the circumference of the air inlet 3151. The air inlet 3151 is designed to be a preset distance away from the opposite sides of the flow equalizing plate 3200, so that the steam can diffuse faster in the first accommodating chamber 3300, thereby reaching the first air holes 3211 at different positions faster, reducing the difference in steam flow rates of the first air holes 3211 at different positions, and further improving the uniform outflow effect of steam.

[0055] For example, the air inlet 3151 is arranged behind the equalizing plate 3200. At this time, the air inlet 3151 is L1 away from the left side of the equalizing plate 3200, and the air inlet 3151 is L2 away from the right side of the equalizing plate 3200, so that there is enough space for steam to dissipate on the left and right sides of the air inlet 3151. Preferably, the dimension between the left and right sides of the equalizing plate 3200 is L, and the length of L1 is 0.125 to 0.33 times of L, and the same is true for L2, and the length of L2 is 0.125 to 0.33 times of L.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.12 As shown, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is provided with a plurality of air permeable areas 3212, each air permeable area 3212 has a plurality of first air permeable holes 3211, and the apertures of the first air permeable holes 3211 on the same air permeable area 3212 are the same, thus reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the flow equalizing plate 3200.

[0057] Specifically, in order to allow the steam to flow out evenly, a plurality of first air holes 3211 are evenly distributed on the first flow equalizing plate 3200 to form an array arrangement. Since the aperture of the first air holes 3211 close to the air inlet 3151 is smaller and the aperture of the first air holes 3211 away from the air inlet 3151 is larger, the apertures of the first air holes 3211 can be designed to be different. In the direction away from the air inlet 3151, the aperture of the first air holes 3211 gradually increases. This scheme has a better effect of uniform steam outflow, but the aperture of each first air hole 3211 is different, which greatly increases the difficulty of preparing the flow equalizing plate 3200. For example, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is a metal plate, and the first air holes 3211 are formed by punching. Since the aperture of each first air hole 3211 is different, it is necessary to prepare punching tools that are consistent with the number of first air holes 3211, which is costly.

[0058] Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is divided into a plurality of air permeable areas 3212, and the aperture of the first air holes 3211 of each air permeable area 3212 is consistent, so only the punching tools consistent with the number of air permeable areas 3212 need to be prepared, which greatly reduces the number of punching tools and reduces the cost. It can be understood that although the different first air holes 3211 in the same air permeable area 3212 are at different distances from the air inlet 3151, the different first air holes 3211 in the same air permeable area 3212 are arranged close to each other, which can minimize the difference in steam flow of different first air holes 3211 in the same air permeable area 3212. In addition, due to the presence of multiple air permeable areas 3212, with the cooperation of all the air permeable areas 3212, the difference in steam flow of a single air permeable area 3212 is relatively slight, thereby ensuring the uniformity of steam in the second accommodating cavity 3400.

[0059] For example, combined with Fig.12 As shown, there are nine ventilation areas 3212 arranged in a nine-square grid, and each ventilation area 3212 is provided with 16 first ventilation holes 3211 , and the aperture of each first ventilation hole 3211 is the same.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to combine Fig.12 As described, in the present embodiment, the plurality of air permeable areas 3212 are divided into a first air permeable area 3213 and a second air permeable area 3214. The first air permeable area 3213 corresponds to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, and the second air permeable area 3214 is arranged on one side of the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, that is, on the side of the first air permeable area 3213. The aperture of the first air hole 3211 of the first air permeable area 3213 needs to be designed to be smaller than the aperture of the first air hole 3211 of the second air permeable area 3214, so as to further improve the uniformity of steam flowing into the second accommodating chamber 3400.

[0061] Specifically, as mentioned above, when steam is ejected from the air inlet 3151 to the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam is in a jet-like shape with a large flow rate, and at the same time, the steam will diverge toward the circumference of the air inlet 3151 with a relatively small flow rate, so the first air hole 3211 corresponding to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 will be in contact with the steam first, and the first air hole 3211 located on the side of the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 will be in contact with the steam later.

[0062] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first air permeable area 3213 is set to correspond to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, and the second air permeable area 3214 is set beside the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, and the aperture of the first air permeable hole 3211 of the first air permeable area 3213 is smaller than the aperture of the first air permeable hole 3211 of the second air permeable area 3214, so as to ensure the uniformity of steam flowing out of the first air permeable area 3213 and the second air permeable area 3214. The so-called corresponding means that the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 will pass above the first air permeable area 3213.

[0063] For example, combined with Fig.12As shown, the first air permeable areas 3213 include three, and the second air permeable areas 3214 include six, wherein three second air permeable areas 3214 are located on the left side of the three first air permeable areas 3213, and the other three second air permeable areas 3214 are located on the right side of the three first air permeable areas 3213, and the three first air permeable areas 3213 and the six second air permeable areas 3214 form a nine-square grid arrangement, and the three first air permeable areas 3213 correspond to the axial direction of the air inlet 3151. It can be understood that since the aperture of the first air hole 3211 far away from the air inlet 3151 is larger, the aperture of the first air holes 3211 in the three first air permeable areas 3213 will increase successively from the back to the front, and the aperture of the first air holes 3211 in the second air permeable areas 3214 on the left and right sides will also increase successively, and along the left and right directions, the first air holes 3211 in the second air permeable areas 3214 will be larger than the first air holes 3211 in the first air permeable areas 3213.

[0064] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, in combination Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the flow equalizer plate 3200 is arranged above the food, so that the first air hole 3211 is also located above the food, further ensuring the steaming effect of the food. For example, the first accommodating chamber 3300 is arranged above the second accommodating chamber 3400, or the first accommodating chamber 3300 is arranged at an upper position of the second accommodating chamber 3400. The orientation in this article is based on the normal placement of the steamer. Since the flow equalizer plate 3200 separates the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, after the food is placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400, the flow equalizer plate 3200 is located above the food. Due to the characteristics of steam, the steam will float upward. When the steam flows out from the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the first air hole 3211, the steam gradually fills the second accommodating chamber 3400 from top to bottom. In the process of steam filling from top to bottom and before reaching the food, the steam has enough space and time to achieve further mixing and enhance the effect of uniform distribution. When the steam reaches the surface of the food, the food is heated evenly to the maximum extent.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the steamer includes a cavity 3100, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 is arranged inside the cavity 3100, thereby dividing the interior of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400, thereby facilitating the formation of the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400. There are multiple ways in which the flow equalizing plate 3200 divides the interior of the cavity 3100 into the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, which will be described in detail below.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 3 to 5 as well as Figure 8As shown, the cavity 3100 includes a top plate 3110 and a side plate. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is disposed inside the cavity 3100 and is connected and fixed to the top plate 3110 , thereby dividing the interior of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400 .

[0067] Specifically, the steamer includes a shell 1000, the shell 1000 wraps the cavity 3100, and the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100 are arranged alternately, so that there is a certain space between the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100, so that other components of the steamer, such as a steam generator, etc., can be placed between the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100. Of course, in other embodiments, the shell 1000 may not be provided, or the shell 1000 does not necessarily wrap the cavity 3100, but is arranged side by side with the cavity 3100. The cavity 3100 is a hollow structure, including a top plate 3110, a bottom plate 3120, a side plate and a rear plate 3150. It can be understood that, generally speaking, the steamer is formed as a cube as a whole, so the cavity 3100 is also formed as a cube, then there is a left side plate 3130 and a right side plate 3140 between the top plate 3110 and the bottom plate 3120, the left side plate 3130 and the right side plate 3140 are collectively referred to as side plates, the left side plate 3130, the right side plate 3140 and the rear plate 3150 are arranged between the top plate 3110 and the bottom plate 3120, so that the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 is open to the front, that is, the open end of the cavity 3100 constitutes an opening 3500, and the steamer has a door body 2000, and the door body 2000 can realize the closing and opening of the opening 3500, and the food is taken and placed through the opening 3500.

[0068] The flow balancing plate 3200 can independently enclose a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 constitutes a second accommodating cavity 3400. After the flow balancing plate 3200 is installed inside the cavity 3100, the first accommodating cavity 3300 is located above the second accommodating cavity 3400. However, independently enclosing the first accommodating cavity 3300 with the flow balancing plate 3200 will make the structure more complicated and the cost higher. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be connected to the top plate 3110, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110 together enclose a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the rest of the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 can be regarded as a second accommodating cavity 3400. That is to say, after the flow equalizing plate 3200 is installed, the flow equalizing plate 3200 divides the internal space of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating cavity 3300 and a second accommodating cavity 3400. The flow equalizing plate 3200 makes full use of the structure of the cavity 3100 and reduces the complexity of the structure.

[0069] Since the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110 are connected together, in order to input the steam generated by the steam generator into the first accommodating chamber 3300, an air inlet 3151 can be opened on the top plate 3110, the side plate or the rear plate 3150. The air inlet 3151 can be directly connected to the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the steam generator is connected to the air inlet 3151 through a pipeline, so that the steam can be directly transmitted to the first accommodating chamber 3300.

[0070] In other embodiments, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, different from the previous embodiment, the flow equalizing plate 3200 of this embodiment is arranged inside the cavity 3100, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be connected to the side plate, so as to divide the internal space of the cavity 3100, so that the space of the first accommodating cavity 3300 is larger, which is more conducive to the uniform distribution of steam in the second accommodating cavity 3400.

[0071] Specifically, relative to connecting the current balancing plate 3200 to the top plate 3110, in this embodiment, the current balancing plate 3200 is connected to the side plates, for example, the current balancing plate 3200 is connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140. It can be understood that the connection between the current balancing plate 3200 and the side plates can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, as long as the current balancing plate 3200 can be fixed to the side plates. In this way, the equalizing plate 3200 and part of the left plate 3130, part of the right plate 3140, part of the rear plate 3150 and the top plate 3110 cooperate together to enclose a first accommodating chamber 3300. Compared with the first accommodating chamber 3300 enclosed by the connection between the equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110, the former has a larger space, and the corresponding size of the equalizing plate 3200 is also larger. As mentioned above, generally speaking, the cavity 3100 is relatively square. By installing the equalizing plate 3200 in this way, the equalizing plate 3200 can form a larger coverage of the second accommodating chamber 3400 from top to bottom. Since the size of the equalizing plate 3200 is larger, the number of first air holes 3211 set on the equalizing plate 3200 can also be more, so that the multiple first air holes 3211 can form a larger coverage of the food from top to bottom, and then the distribution of the steam flowing out of the first air holes 3211 is more uniform.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10As shown, on the basis of the connection between the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the side plate, the flow equalizing plate 3200 has a first plate 3210 and a second plate 3220, the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 are arranged to intersect each other, and the second plate 3220 is located in the front position of the first plate 3210. When the flow equalizing plate 3200 is installed inside the cavity 3100, the first plate 3210 is located below the top plate 3110 and the first plate 3210 and the top plate 3110 are arranged opposite to each other, thus enclosing a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the first air hole 3211 is arranged on the first plate 3210, and the ground air permeable area 3212 is also arranged on the first plate 3210.

[0073] Specifically, the connection between the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the side plate can be as follows: the left and right sides of the flow equalizing plate 3200 are respectively connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140, and the rear edge of the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be abutted against the rear plate 3150. The front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300 formed in this way is open. When the door body 2000 closes the opening 3500 of the cavity 3100, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 will overflow from the front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300, and therefore the front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300 needs to be closed. This can be achieved through the door body 2000. When the door body 2000 closes the opening 3500 of the cavity 3100, the door body 2000 needs to synchronously close the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300. However, since the door body 2000 cooperates with the cavity 3100, the door body 2000 needs to cooperate with the current equalizing plate 3200 to close the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300, which requires high assembly accuracy.

[0074] To this end, in this embodiment, the current balancing plate 3200 is designed to include a first plate 3210 and a second plate 3220, and the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 are intersectingly arranged. The intersecting arrangement of the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 can be perpendicular to each other. For example, the current balancing plate 3200 is made of a metal plate, and the metal plate has a certain ductility. The first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 can be formed by bending a piece of metal plate. When the current balancing plate 3200 is installed, the left and right sides of the first plate 3210 are connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140 respectively, and the rear edge of the first plate 3210 abuts against the rear plate 3150. At this time, under the premise that the current balancing plate 3200 is installed in place, the second plate 3220 abuts against the left plate 3130, the right plate 3140 and the top plate 3110 near the opening 3500, thus closing the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300. Since the second plate 3220 only needs to cooperate with the cavity 3100, and does not need to cooperate with the door body 2000, the assembly accuracy requirement is reduced.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizer 3200 is designed to be removable and removable into the cavity 3100, so that it is convenient to clean the flow equalizer 3200. Since the steam needs to flow out through the first air hole 3211 after entering the first accommodating cavity 3300, after long-term use, the flow equalizer 3200 will have water stains, scale, etc., and since the flow equalizer 3200 is in an environment where food is steamed, it is also possible to be blocked by food residues. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the steamer is used for a period of time, the flow equalizer 3200 can be cleaned to keep the flow equalizer 3200 clean and ensure that the steam can flow out of the first air hole 3211 smoothly. When it is necessary to clean the flow equalizer 3200, the flow equalizer 3200 is moved out of the cavity 3100, and the flow equalizer 3200 is exposed, so that the user can conveniently perform cleaning operations. After cleaning, the flow equalizer 3200 is moved into the cavity 3100, so as to facilitate the use of the steamer next time.

[0076] There are many ways to move the flow equalizing plate 3200 out of and into the cavity 3100. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is set to be detachable. Removable means that when the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be cleaned, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be detached from the cavity 3100, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved out of the cavity 3100. When the food needs to be steamed in a steamer, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be installed in the cavity 3100 and fixed, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved into the cavity 3100. Through the detachable setting, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be completely separated from the cavity 3100, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0077] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, a supporting portion 3600 is provided on the side plate, and the equalizing plate 3200 is overlapped on the supporting portion 3600, so that the equalizing plate 3200 can be installed and easily disassembled. The left side plate 3130 and the right side plate 3140 are provided with a supporting portion 3600, and the equalizing plate 3200 (first plate 3210) is overlapped on the supporting portion 3600. The so-called overlap means that the equalizing plate 3200 (first plate 3210) abuts against the supporting portion 3600 in the direction of gravity, so that the entire equalizing plate 3200 can be supported by the supporting portion 3600, so that the equalizing plate 3200 can be detachably installed. In this way, not only can the current balancing plate 3200 be easily installed in the cavity 3100, but when the current balancing plate 3200 needs to be removed, the user only needs to lift the current balancing plate 3200 or pull the current balancing plate 3200 to separate the current balancing plate 3200 from the supporting part 3600, which is convenient, fast and low-cost.

[0078] The flow equalizing plate 3200 can also be moved out of and into the cavity 3100 by the following scheme: the steam box includes a slide rail (not shown in the figure), and the slide rail is connected to the cavity 3100 and the flow equalizing plate 3200 respectively. By setting the slide rail, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved out of and into the cavity 3100. Specifically, for example, the cavity 3100 has an opening 3500, and the opening 3500 is connected to the interior of the cavity 3100. The left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140 are both provided with a slide rail, and the slide rail has a movable part and a fixed part, the fixed part is fixed to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140, and the movable part is fixed to the flow equalizing plate 3200, and the movable part and the fixed part are slidably connected, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be pushed and pulled by the slide rail. When the current equalizing plate 3200 is pulled, the current equalizing plate 3200 moves out of the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500. When the current equalizing plate 3200 is pushed, the current equalizing plate 3200 moves into the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500, thereby separating the first accommodating cavity 3300 and the second accommodating cavity 3400. Through such a setting, the current equalizing plate 3200 can be exposed to facilitate user cleaning, and the inaccurate alignment of the current equalizing plate 3200 during disassembly and assembly can be avoided.

[0079] The second aspect of the present application discloses an integrated stove, which includes a steamer of the above-mentioned embodiment. The so-called integrated stove, for example, can combine a stove, a hood and a steamer to form a combined household appliance. The stove, the hood and the steamer can be used separately without affecting each other. The stove, the hood and the steamer are integrated together. Compared with independent stoves, hoods and steamers, the integrated stove can save space more effectively, making the integrated stove more and more popular. It is understandable that in addition to the integrated stove, the hood and the steamer, the integrated stove can also be integrated with other types of household appliances, which will not be repeated here. The steamer included in the integrated stove of this embodiment adopts the technical solution of the above-mentioned embodiment, so it at least has the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
