Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a steamer 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.

[0045] The first aspect of the present application discloses a steamer, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9As shown, the steamer includes a first accommodating chamber 3300, a second accommodating chamber 3400 and a flow equalizing plate 3200. The first accommodating chamber 3300 is used to receive steam, and the second accommodating chamber 3400 is used to accommodate food. The flow equalizing plate 3200 realizes the separation of the second accommodating chamber 3400 and the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 is arranged above the food. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is provided with a plurality of first air holes 3211, and the plurality of first air holes 3211 connect the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400. Correspondingly, the first air holes 3211 are also located above the food. 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 hole 3211 of the flow equalizing plate 3200 and then flow to the food. This has a flow equalizing effect on the steam, so that the steam is evenly distributed in the second accommodating chamber 3400, so that the temperature and speed of the steam at different positions are roughly the same, ensuring that the food at different positions is heated evenly, thereby improving the steaming effect of the food.

[0046] Specifically, a steamer is a device that heats water so that the water forms steam, and steams the food through steam. In the related art, there are two main ways to heat water to form steam, namely direct heating of the heating plate and 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. The opening of the pipeline is relatively small relative to the inside of the steamer, so the steam transported from the pipeline will be sprayed into the inside of the steamer in a jet shape, which will cause the distribution of steam (steam quantity, flow rate, temperature, etc.) at different positions inside the steamer to be different, and the food is easily heated unevenly, affecting the steaming effect of the food. For example, some parts of the food are too early to mature, and in order to ensure that other parts of the food are cooked, the steaming time will be extended, and the parts that are too early to mature will become aged, resulting in a poor taste. To this end, in this embodiment, the first accommodating chamber 3300, the second accommodating chamber 3400 and the equalizing plate 3200 are matched to make the food more evenly heated.

[0047] The first accommodating chamber 3300 is a space for accommodating steam, that is, the steam generated from the steam generator needs to be transported to the first accommodating chamber 3300 through a pipeline first. 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. 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, and 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, and the difference in steam flow rate, temperature, and amount at different positions of the second accommodating chamber 3400 is minimized to the maximum extent, thereby ensuring the steaming effect on the food. Preferably, the multiple first air holes 3211 are arranged in an array and are located at the same height. It can be understood that the same height here means being approximately at the same level. Compared with the solution without a flow equalizing plate, this embodiment can effectively improve the uniformity of steam distribution.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, by setting the equalizing plate 3200 above the food, the first air hole 3211 is also located above the food, so as to further ensure the steaming effect. For example, the first accommodating chamber 3300 is set above the second accommodating chamber 3400, or the first accommodating chamber 3300 is set at the upper position of the second accommodating chamber 3400. The orientation in this article is based on the normal placement of the steamer. Since the equalizing 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 equalizing 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.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to combine Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the steamer includes a cavity 3100, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 is arranged inside the cavity 3100, so as to divide the interior of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400, which facilitates the formation of the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400. There are many ways for the flow equalizing plate 3200 to divide 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.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the steamer includes a cavity 3100, and the cavity 3100 includes a top plate 3110 and side plates. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is arranged inside the cavity 3100 and is connected and fixed to the top plate 3110, so that the interior of the cavity 3100 is divided into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is disposed inside the cavity 3100 and is connected and fixed to the top plate 3110 , thereby dividing the inside of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400 .

[0052] 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.

[0053] In some embodiments, 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] In other embodiments, in combination Figure 6 and Fig. 9 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig.10 As 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 vent 3211 is arranged on the first plate 3210.

[0058] 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 realize the closure of the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300. However, since the door body 2000 cooperates with the cavity 3100, the door body 2000 closes the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300, and needs to be synchronously coordinated with the flow equalizing plate 3200, which requires high assembly accuracy. To this end, in this embodiment, by designing the flow equalizing plate 3200 to include a first plate 3210 and a second plate 3220, the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 are arranged to intersect, and the intersection of the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 can be perpendicular to each other. For example, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is prepared by a metal plate, and the metal plate has a certain ductility. A piece of metal plate can be bent to form the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220. 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.

[0059] 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 needs to be 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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 supporting portion 3600 can support the entire equalizing plate 3200, 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.

[0062] 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 respectively connected to the cavity 3100 and the flow equalizing plate 3200. By setting the slide rail, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved out of and into the cavity 3100. Specifically, for example, the opening 3500 is connected to the internal space of the cavity 3100, and the left side plate 3130 and the right side 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 side plate 3130 and the right side 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 balancing plate 3200 is pulled, the current balancing plate 3200 is moved out of the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500, and when the current balancing plate 3200 is pushed, the current balancing plate 3200 is moved into the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500, thereby separating the first accommodating cavity 3300 from the second accommodating cavity 3400. This arrangement can not only realize the exposure of the current balancing plate 3200 for the convenience of cleaning by the user, but also avoid the misalignment of the current balancing plate 3200 during disassembly and assembly.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the steamer includes an air outlet 3152. The steam generated by the steam generator is input into the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the air inlet 3151, and then enters the second accommodating chamber 3400 through the first air vent 3211. The second accommodating chamber 3400 needs to be connected with the air outlet 3152. The steam entering the second accommodating chamber 3400 is discharged through the air outlet 3152 after heating the food, thereby ensuring that the steam can continuously pass into the interior of the cavity 3100. In order to ensure that the steam surrounds the food, the steamer includes a steaming plate 3700, and the steaming plate 3700 is used to be placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400. The food is placed on the steaming plate 3700. The steaming plate 3700 has a second air hole 3710, and the air outlet 3152 is designed to be located below the steaming plate 3700. In this way, the steam entering the second accommodating chamber 3400 passes through the second air hole 3710 from top to bottom, and in this process, it fully contacts the food, thereby achieving surrounding heating of the food. After the steam passes through the second air hole 3710, it can be discharged through the air outlet 3152.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet 3152 and the air inlet 3151 are arranged on the same side, so as to reasonably utilize the space.

[0065] Specifically, for example, the air outlet 3152 and the air inlet 3151 are arranged on the rear plate 3150 of the cavity 3100. Since the air inlet 3151 and the air outlet 3152 both need to be connected with corresponding pipes, the air inlet 3151 and the air outlet 3152 are both arranged on the rear plate 3150. In this way, the pipes can be arranged and arranged at the same time in the rear space of the rear plate 3150. If the air inlet 3151 and the air outlet 3152 are arranged on different sides, the pipes occupy different spaces. This embodiment can make more reasonable use of space and improve space utilization.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the steam box includes a heater 4000 , which is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 3300 . The heater 4000 is used to heat the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 .

[0067] Specifically, steam is generated by a steam generator, and the steam needs to travel a certain distance from the steam generator to the first containing chamber 3300. During the transportation process, the steam will lose some heat. After entering the first containing chamber 3300, condensation may occur, which will cause the temperature of the steam to become lower and the amount to become less, which will prolong the steaming time of the food and is not conducive to the retention of nutrients. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the heater 4000 in the first accommodating chamber 3300, since the first accommodating chamber 3300 occupies a certain space volume, when the steam is input from the air inlet 3151 and enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, it will gradually diffuse. Since the heater 4000 is set in the first accommodating chamber 3300, the heater 4000 can heat the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 when it is working. Since the flow rate of the steam is reduced when the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam has enough time to contact the heater 4000, so that the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 is effectively heated to avoid condensation of the steam. Moreover, under the heating effect of the heater 4000, the steam can form superheated steam. When these superheated steam flows out through the first air vent 3211 and enters the second accommodating chamber 3400 and then contacts the food, they still have a high temperature, thereby enhancing the steaming of the food and shortening the steaming time. It can be understood that the so-called heater 4000 is a component that can emit heat when powered on.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, at least a portion of the heater 4000 is located in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 , and such a configuration further improves the heating effect on the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 .

[0069] Specifically, at least part of the so-called heater 4000 is located in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, that is, along the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, the heater 4000 is projected toward the position where the air inlet 3151 is located, and at least part of the projection formed by the heater 4000 overlaps with the air inlet 3151. Since the flow area of ​​the air inlet 3151 is much smaller than that of the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 from the air inlet 3151 is in the form of a jet. At least part of the heater 4000 is arranged in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151. When the steam generated by the steam generator is ejected from the air inlet 3151, it will directly encounter the heater 4000, thereby being heated by the heater 4000. That is, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 can be heated by the heater 4000 in a relatively short time, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the steam and laying a foundation for uniform heating of the steam. After the steam diffuses in the first accommodating chamber 3300 , it can continue to be heated by the rest of the heater 4000 , thereby effectively forming superheated steam.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, the heater 4000 is a heating tube 4000, and multiple bends are formed between the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000, so that the heating tube 4000 forms a larger coverage in the first accommodating cavity 3300, which can reduce the number of heating tubes 4000, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0071] Specifically, the cross section of the heating tube 4000 is roughly circular, and the heating tube 4000 is bent so that it can occupy a larger space range in the first accommodating cavity 3300, so that the steam entering the first accommodating cavity 3300 can be heated at multiple positions in the first accommodating cavity 3300. It can be understood that the multiple paths referred to here means at least two paths. Since the heating tube 4000 is bent to achieve a larger coverage range, the number of heating tubes 4000 can be reduced, thereby reducing costs. Moreover, since the heating tube 4000 needs to be installed and fixed, reducing the number of heating tubes 4000 also improves the installation efficiency of the product.

[0072] 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.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural changes made based on the concept of the present application and the contents of the present application description and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
