Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an integrated stove and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Integrated stove is a kitchen appliance that integrates multiple functions such as range hood, gas stove, disinfection cabinet, storage cabinet, oven, etc. It has the advantages of saving space, good fume extraction effect, energy saving, low consumption and environmental protection. When using the oven module of the integrated stove to bake and cook ingredients, the heating module of the oven will generate a lot of heat in the inner pot, and this heat will quickly act on the ingredients through radiation and convection, so that the ingredients will heat up quickly. The water in the heated ingredients evaporates, so that the baking cavity is filled with water vapor. When the water vapor encounters the inner wall of the inner pot and the glass door with lower temperature, the water vapor condenses to form condensation. The condensation gathers and increases to form larger water droplets. The water droplets gradually flow downward along the inner wall under the action of gravity, and finally accumulate at the bottom of the inner pot and form a large amount of cooking water. When there is too much water, it will even overflow from the baking cavity, causing other household kitchen utensils and kitchen facilities such as wooden floors to be soaked and damaged.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to eliminate the accumulated water in the baking cavity, a heating device is generally provided at the bottom of the baking cavity, and the accumulated water is evaporated secondary by the heating device to reduce the accumulated water. However, since the accumulated water inevitably contains food juice, as the secondary evaporation proceeds, the odor generated by the food juice in the accumulated water acts on the baked food, which not only easily causes odor cross-contamination and affects the freshness and taste quality of the cooking ingredients, but also since the accumulated water contains more nitrite substances, the nitrite substances are brought into the ingredients along with the water vapor, posing a health hazard and affecting the user experience.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Among them, the terms "first position" and "second position" are two different positions.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated stove, which is a kitchen appliance integrated with multiple functional modules. Specifically, the integrated stove includes an integrated stove body 20 and a baking device 10. The integrated stove body 20 is the main structure of the integrated stove, which mainly supports and installs the functional modules. The integrated stove body 20 forms an installation space, and the baking device 10 is arranged in the installation space. By placing food in the baking device 10, the food can be baked.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the baking device 10 includes an inner pot 110 and a drainage assembly 120. The inner wall surface of the inner pot 110 is arranged to form the above-mentioned baking space. The front part of the inner pot 110 forms an opening for taking food. The baking device 10 also includes a door body rotatably connected to the opening. A drainage hole (not marked in the figure) is formed on the bottom surface of the inner pot 110. The accumulated water in the baking space can be discharged to the outside of the inner pot 110 through the drainage hole.

[0040] The drainage assembly 120 is arranged below the baking space, and the accumulated water entering the drainage hole can be discharged to the outside of the inner pot 110 through the drainage assembly 120. Specifically, the drainage assembly 120 includes a filter 121, a drainage pipe 122, a water collection box 123, a drainage power member 124 and a water volume detection mechanism (not shown in the figure). The filter 121 is arranged in the drainage hole and is used to filter the food debris with larger particles in the accumulated water. The water inlet end of the drainage pipe 122 is connected to the drainage hole, and the water outlet end of the drainage pipe 122 is connected to the water collection box 123. The water volume detection mechanism is used to detect the water volume in the water collection box 123, and the drainage power member 124 is used to start when the water volume in the water collection box 123 reaches the target value to discharge the accumulated water in the water collection box 123 to the waste water box 130.

[0041] Compared with the prior art which requires secondary evaporation of the accumulated water, the integrated stove sets a drainage hole on the bottom surface of the inner tank 110 and connects the drainage assembly 120 to the drainage hole, so that the drainage assembly 120 can filter the accumulated water in the inner tank 110 and discharge it into the accumulated water collection box 123, which not only avoids the kitchen facilities from being soaked due to overflow of the accumulated water, but also avoids the impact of the secondary evaporation of the accumulated water on the quality and safety of food. And by using the accumulated water collection box 123 to temporarily store the accumulated water flowing out of the inner tank 110, and after the water in the accumulated water collection box 123 reaches a certain amount, it is discharged to the waste water box 130 as a whole, which not only saves energy but also reduces the frequency of users handling the waste water box 130, which is conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, by setting the filter 121, foreign matter such as large food debris submitted in the accumulated water can be filtered out, avoiding the blockage of the drain pipe 122, which is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of drainage.

[0042] Since the moisture generated by the baked food fills the entire baking space, the moisture can condense to form fine condensation when it encounters the inner wall surface of the inner pot 110 made of metal. Adjacent condensation gathers together to form larger water droplets, and the water droplets flow downward under the action of gravity. In order to allow the water droplets scattered everywhere to smoothly and quickly gather into the drainage hole, in some embodiments, a water collection structure is formed on the inner wall surface of the inner pot 110, and the water collection structure is used to guide the condensed water condensed on the inner wall of the inner pot 110 into the drainage hole.

[0043] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the water collection structure includes a bottom water collection groove 111, which is formed on the bottom surface of the inner tank 110, and the drainage hole is provided on the inner bottom surface of the bottom water collection groove 111. In a specific embodiment, the bottom water collection groove 111 is a groove that is concave toward the center on all sides and is roughly funnel-shaped. The inner wall surface of the bottom water collection groove 111 can be a conical surface, a pyramidal surface, or a combination of a conical surface and a cylindrical surface. In another specific embodiment, the bottom water collection groove 111 is a plurality of strip grooves that are circumferentially arranged around the drainage hole and are arranged radially.

[0044] In some parallel embodiments, the water collection structure includes a water collection channel, a first end of the water collection channel extends to the side wall surface of the inner tank 110, a second end of the water collection channel extends to the drainage hole, and the water collection channel is a tapered structure in which the channel width gradually decreases and the channel depth gradually increases.

[0045] Furthermore, there are multiple water collection channels, and the multiple water collection channels are connected to form a network structure, for example, a tree shape. The water collection channels include at least one main channel and multiple branch channels. One ends of the multiple branch channels extend to different positions on the side wall surface of the inner tank 110, and the other ends of the multiple branch channels are connected to the main channel or other branch channels. The other end of the main channel extends to the drainage hole.

[0046] In some parallel embodiments, the water collection structure includes a bottom water collection groove 111 and a water collection channel, the first end of the water collection channel extends to the side wall surface of the inner tank 110, and the second end of the water collection channel extends into the bottom water collection groove 111. The specific structures of the bottom water collection groove 111 and the water collection channel have been introduced above and will not be repeated here.

[0047] In addition to forming water droplets on the inner wall surface of the inner pot 110, water droplets will also form on the inner wall surface of the door body made of glass. In some embodiments, the door body gradually tilts from top to bottom toward the inside of the inner pot 110, so that the water droplets can flow along the inner wall surface of the inclined door body toward the bottom water accumulation groove 111, thereby preventing the water droplets on the door body from flowing out of the gap between the bottom of the door body and the inner pot 110 to the outside of the baking device 10. In a specific embodiment, the inclination angle of the door body relative to the vertical plane is 1°-5° to avoid the inconvenience of opening and closing the door body due to a large angle.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the filtering effect of the accumulated water, the filter element 121 includes a filter net 1211 and a filter element 1212. The filter element 1212 is placed in the drain hole, and the filter net 1211 covers the opening of the drain hole. The filter net 1211 and the filter element 1212 can achieve double filtering of the accumulated water. The filter net 1211 can filter out larger foreign matter in the accumulated water, and the filter element 1212 can filter out smaller foreign matter in the accumulated water and deodorize the accumulated water. It should be noted that the specific structure of the filter element 1212 is the prior art, and the water filtered by the filter element 1212 can be used for animal consumption and plant watering.

[0049] In some embodiments, the filter 1211 is detachably connected to the opening of the drain hole, so that the filter 1211 can be removed for cleaning. In some embodiments, a plurality of filter nets 1211 can be provided, and a plurality of filter elements 1212 can also be provided, so as to further improve the filtering effect on the accumulated water.

[0050] In order to allow the accumulated water to flow smoothly into the accumulated water collection box 123 and prevent the accumulated water from flowing back, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the drainage pipe 122 includes a sinking water pipe 1221, a diversion pipe 1222 and a horizontal water pipe 1223 which are connected in sequence. The sinking water pipe 1221 is vertically arranged, and the horizontal water pipe 1223 is horizontally arranged. One end of the sinking water pipe 1221 away from the diversion pipe 1222 is connected to the drainage hole, and one end of the horizontal water pipe 1223 away from the diversion pipe 1222 is connected to the accumulated water collection box 123.

[0051] In some embodiments, the diversion pipe 1222 is a right-angle pipe joint.

[0052] In some embodiments, the horizontal water pipe 1223 includes a plurality of pipe bodies connected in sequence at an angle, so that the drainage pipe 122 can make full use of the space below the inner tank 110, thereby making full use of the internal space of the integrated stove.

[0053] In order to prevent the odor outside the water collection box 123 from flowing back into the inner pot 110, thereby causing the food to have a bad taste and affect the food quality, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the drain pipe 122 also includes an anti-odor U-shaped tube 1224, which is connected between the horizontal water pipe 1223 and the water inlet of the accumulated water collection box 123, and the height of the horizontal section of the anti-odor U-shaped tube 1224 is lower than the height of the horizontal water pipe 1223.

[0054] Optionally, a one-way valve is provided on the drain pipe 122 so that water can only flow from the inner tank 110 into the water collection box 123 , but cannot flow back from the water collection box 123 to the inner tank 110 .

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in order to allow water to smoothly flow into the water collection box 123, an air pressure balance structure 125 is provided on the water collection box 123, and the air pressure balance structure 125 connects the water collection cavity formed in the water collection box 123 with the atmospheric environment.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air pressure balance structure 125 is an air pressure balance hole opened on the top plate of the water collection box 123. Opening the air pressure balance hole on the top plate of the water collection box 123 will not have a significant impact on the volume of the water collection box 123. Optionally, the air pressure balance hole is a circular hole; there are multiple air pressure balance holes, and the multiple air pressure balance holes are arranged at intervals on the top plate of the water collection box 123.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air pressure balance structure 125 is an air pressure balance tube opened on the top plate of the water collection box 123. One end of the air pressure balance tube is inserted into the water collection box 123, and the other end protrudes from the top plate of the water collection box 123. Such a setting will not have a significant impact on the volume of the water collection box 123. Optionally, the air pressure balance tube is a round tube; the number of air pressure balance tubes is multiple, and the multiple air pressure balance tubes are vertically protruded on the top plate of the water collection box 123 and arranged at intervals.

[0058] Since the accumulated water is stored in the water collection box 123, it is easy to form sediment on the inner wall. In order to prevent the sediment from generating foreign matter and clogging the air pressure balance structure 125, a cleaning mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided in the water collection box 123. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the inner wall surface of the water collection box 123 and the inner wall surface of the air pressure balance structure 125.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism is a cleaning brush disposed in the water collection box 123 or in the air pressure balance structure 125 and a cleaning brush driving member for driving the cleaning brush to rotate. The cleaning brush is extended along the length direction of the water collection box 123, and the cleaning brush driving member drives the cleaning brush to rotate so that the bristles of the cleaning brush sweep across the inner wall surface of the water collection box 123.

[0060] In some parallel embodiments, the cleaning mechanism is a solvent capable of dissolving sediments, and the solvent is squeezed into the water collection box 123 in a regular and quantitative manner, so that the sediments are dissolved in the water and discharged from the water collection box 123 along with the water flow.

[0061] The water volume detection mechanism is disposed in the water collection box 123 and is used to detect whether the amount of water entering the water collection box 123 reaches the target value. If the amount of water reaches the target value, it indicates that the water storage space in the water collection box 123 is insufficient and the water in the water collection box 123 needs to be discharged. In some embodiments, the water volume detection mechanism is a water level sensor.

[0062] The drainage power part 124 is a water pump. Starting the water pump can discharge the accumulated water in the water collection box 123 to the waste water box 130. In some embodiments, the waste water box 130 is detachably connected to the integrated stove body 20, and the user can dump the waste water in the waste water box 130 by removing the waste water box 130.

[0063] In some embodiments, an installation opening is provided on the integrated stove body 20, and the waste water box 130 is pulled and installed into the installation opening, and the waste water box 130 can be pulled out of the installation opening by pulling. Furthermore, the waste water box 130 is made of a transparent or translucent material, or the waste water box 130 is at least partially made of a transparent or translucent material, so that the user can intuitively see the amount of water in the waste water box 130.

[0064] Furthermore, a water level detection mechanism and a prompt structure are provided in the waste water box 130. The water level detection mechanism is used to detect the amount of water in the waste water box 130. When the amount of water in the waste water box 130 reaches a set value, the prompt structure sends a message to prompt the user. Optionally, the prompt structure can be a prompt light or a buzzer.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, a drying mechanism 140 is also provided at the bottom of the inner pot 110 . The drying mechanism 140 is an electric heating tube. When the food is cooked, the drying mechanism 140 evaporates and dries the inner pot 110 to prevent the inner pot 110 from being corroded.

[0066] In addition to the baking device 10, the integrated stove can also be integrated with modules such as a disinfection cabinet, a range hood, a storage cabinet, and a dishwasher. Water is easily accumulated in the disinfection cabinet and the dishwasher. The drainage assembly 120 for the baking device 10 provided by the present invention can be used for the disinfection cabinet and the dishwasher at the same time, that is, a drainage hole and a bottom water accumulation groove 111 are formed on the bottom surface of the disinfection cabinet and the dishwasher, and a filter 121 is arranged in each drainage hole. The water volume of the drainage pipe 122 is multiple and integrated together. The water inlets of the multiple drainage pipes 122 are respectively connected to the drainage holes of the disinfection cabinet, the dishwasher, and the inner tank 110 of the baking device 10. The multiple drainage pipes 122 share a water outlet, and the water outlet is connected to the water accumulation collection box 123. In this way, it is not easy to accumulate water in the entire integrated stove, so that the environment in the integrated stove can be kept clean and tidy, which is conducive to improving the service life of the integrated stove.

[0067] In this embodiment, the integrated stove also includes a control mechanism, which can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single single-chip microcomputer or a distributed plurality of single-chip microcomputers. The control program can be run in the single-chip microcomputer to control the various modules of the integrated stove to realize their functions.

[0068] The present invention also provides an integrated stove control method, which is used on the above-mentioned integrated stove. Figure 5 As shown, the integrated stove control method includes the following steps:

[0069] S1. Start the baking device 10 of the integrated stove, select the steaming and baking mode, and the baking device 10 bakes the food placed in the baking space.

[0070] During the cooking process, the moisture in the food evaporates to form water vapor, which gradually increases and fills the entire baking space. The water vapor condenses to form condensation after hitting the inner wall of the inner pot 110. The condensation gathers to form larger water droplets, which flow to the bottom of the inner pot 110 under the action of gravity and form accumulated water.

[0071] S2. The accumulated water flows into the accumulated water collection box 123 through the drainage holes formed on the bottom surface of the inner tank 110, the filter element 121 and the drainage pipe 122.

[0072] S3. Detect the amount of accumulated water in the accumulated water collection box 123 using a water amount detection mechanism.

[0073] S4. Determine whether the amount of accumulated water in the water collection box 123 has reached the target value. If so, start the drainage power component 124 to drain the accumulated water in the water collection box 123 to the waste water box 130. If the amount of accumulated water has not reached the target value, the water collection box 123 continues to collect the accumulated water.

[0074] In some embodiments, the target value is four fifths of the volume of the water collection box 123, that is, the water level of the accumulated water reaches four fifths of the height of the water collection box 123. Of course, in other embodiments, the target value can be increased or decreased according to demand.

[0075] Furthermore, after step S4, the integrated stove control method further includes the following steps:

[0076] S5. Determine whether the accumulated water in the water collection box 123 is drained. If the accumulated water in the water collection box 123 is drained, stop the drainage power component 124.

[0077] Here, the weighing mechanism disposed at the bottom of the water collection box 123 can be used to determine whether the water in the water collection box 123 is emptied. If the weight obtained by the weighing mechanism is substantially equal to the weight of the water collection box 123 itself, it can be determined that the water in the water collection box 123 has been emptied. Substantially equal here means that the weight difference is not greater than 1% of the weight of the water collection box 123 itself.

[0078] Furthermore, after step S5, the integrated stove control method further includes the following steps:

[0079] S6. After the food baking process is finished, the humidity in the baking space is detected by using a humidity detection mechanism;

[0080] After the humidity in the baking space is lower than the target humidity for a preset period of time, the drainage power member 124 is activated to drain the remaining accumulated water in the accumulated water collection box 123 to the waste water box 130 .

[0081] It should be noted that if the humidity in the baking space is lower than the target value and can be maintained for a preset period of time, it means that the moisture in the baking space will basically no longer condense to form water droplets. At this time, draining the water in the water collection box 123 can keep the water collection box 123 clean for a longer period of time.

[0082] Of course, in other embodiments, the drainage power member 124 may be automatically started after a sufficiently long time after the food baking process ends to drain the remaining accumulated water in the water collection box 123 to the waste water box 130, for example, one hour after the food baking process ends.

[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
