Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, and in particular to a water injection device for a steam oven. Background Art

[0002] Cooking devices with steaming functions are generally provided with water tanks, such as electric steamers, steam-bake-in-one machines, etc. In order to allow the water tank placed on the inner tank of the steamer to be drawn out and filled with water, there are currently two mainstream structural design methods: one is to flip up the control panel of the entire steamer, and place the water tank in the water tank seat behind the steamer control panel. The solution of flipping up the control panel of the entire steamer requires pushing the entire control panel, and the control panel is heavy, so the pushing mechanism occupies a lot of space, the structure is complex, and the cost is high. In the second method, a hole is opened on one side of the steamer control panel, and the water tank is pushed out by a motor. Although the structure of the pushing mechanism is relatively simple compared to the first method mentioned above, the pushing mechanism generally only relies on the motor to push the water tank, so there is a risk of misoperation and the possibility of operation is low.

[0003] In summary, there are two major problems with the existing steam oven water tank design: first, the flip-up control panel leads to a complex structure and high cost; second, the motor push-out type has the risk of misoperation and low operational reliability. Therefore, its water tank filling structure needs to be further improved. Summary of the invention
