[0002] When a cooking device such as a steamer is working, the interior of the cooking cavity is filled with high-temperature steam, while the temperature outside the cooking device is lower. Accordingly, the door body is lower in temperature than the cooking cavity. When the steam contacts the glass surface inside the door body, the temperature difference causes the steam to condense and form condensed water, which will flow along the inner glass into the condensation water tank. At the same time, when the door body is closed, if the seal between the inner pot that opens the cooking cavity and the door body is not tight, it will also cause slight water leakage, and the water will flow along the front wall of the inner pot into the condensation water tank.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structural schematic diagrams of the cooking device 100 in one embodiment of the present application in different states are respectively shown. The cooking device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application can be a steamer, a steam oven, or other equipment with the function of cooking ingredients, without limitation.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking device 100 includes an inner tank assembly 110, a door body (not shown) and a movable water tank 120, wherein the inner tank assembly 110 is provided with an open cooking cavity 1111, and the cooking cavity 1111 is used to place and cook food. The door body is covered on the inner tank assembly 110 and covers the opening of the cooking cavity 1111, so that the door body and the inner tank assembly 110 are enclosed together to form a sealed cooking cavity 1111, thereby facilitating cooking food.

[0047] The mobile water tank 120 can be Figure 2 The storage position shown and Figure 1 The water receiving position shown is movably connected to the inner tank assembly 110, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the mobile water tank 120 includes a water receiving portion 121, and the water receiving portion 121 is provided with a water storage tank 1211 with an open top. Figure 1 As shown, when the movable water tank 120 is in the water receiving position, the water receiving portion 121 at least partially protrudes from the inner tank assembly 110, so that the water storage tank 1211 is located below the door body, so that the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body can slide into the open water storage tank 1211 under the action of gravity, so as to collect the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body. Figure 2 As shown, when the movable water sink 120 is in the storage position, the movable water sink 120 does not protrude from the end surface of the inner pot assembly 110 facing the door body, so that the movable water sink 120 can be stored inside the inner pot assembly 110, thereby avoiding the movable water sink 120 protruding from the inner pot assembly 110 and affecting the overall aesthetics and integrity of the cooking device 100, and also avoiding possible interference caused by the movable water sink 120 during the opening and closing process of the door body.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, when the movable water tank 120 is in the storage position, the end surface of the movable water tank 120 facing the outside of the inner pot assembly 110 is flush with the end surface of the inner pot assembly 110 facing the door body, thereby improving the aesthetics of the cooking device 100 when the movable water tank 120 is in the storage position.

[0049] In this embodiment, the lateral length of the water receiving portion 121 of the mobile water tank 120 is not less than the lateral length of the end surface of the door body facing the inner tank assembly 110, so that the condensed water condensed by the door body can be collected in the water storage tank 1211.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the inner pot assembly 110 includes a main body 111 and a mounting plate 112 located below the main body 111 , wherein a cooking cavity 1111 is opened in the main body 111 .

[0051] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 112 is provided with a sliding track 1121, and the mobile water tank 120 includes a sliding portion 122 connected to the water receiving portion 121, and the sliding portion 122 is slidably connected to the sliding track 1121, so that the mobile water tank 120 can slide along the sliding track 1121 as a whole, thereby enabling the mobile water tank 120 to move between the storage position and the water receiving position.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the sliding track 1121 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the end surface of the main body 111 toward the door body, so that the mobile water tank 120 moves in a direction perpendicular to the end surface of the main body 111 toward the door body, making it easy to push and pull the mobile water tank 120 in and out.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, the sliding rail 1121 is arranged to protrude from the mounting plate 112, and when the mobile water tank 120 is in the storage position, the water receiving portion 121 of the mobile water tank 120 abuts against the end face of the sliding rail 1121 facing the water receiving portion 121. At this time, the end face of the mobile water tank 120 facing the outside of the inner tank assembly 110 is flush with the end face of the main body 111 facing the door body, so that the moving distance of the mobile water tank 120 is limited by the sliding rail 1121, so that the mobile water tank 120 can be stably in the storage position flush with the end face of the main body 111 facing the door body.

[0054] In one embodiment, the mobile water tank 120 is configured to have a tendency to move toward the water receiving position when the temperature in the cooking cavity 1111 increases, so that when the cooking device 100 is cooking food, the temperature in the cooking cavity 1111 increases, and at this time the mobile water tank 120 moves toward the water receiving position, so that when the cooking device 100 is working, that is, when condensation water may form on the surface of the door body, the mobile water tank 120 automatically moves to the water receiving position, so that the water storage tank 1211 is located below the door body, so that the condensation water formed on the surface of the door body can slide into the open water storage tank 1211 under the action of gravity, and automatically move to the water receiving position to collect the condensation water formed on the surface of the door body.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the movable water tank 120 includes a movable portion 123 connected to the water receiving portion 121, and the inner tank assembly 110 includes a shell 113, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the interior of the shell 113 is at least partially hollow and is provided with an opening 11321 facing the movable portion 123. The movable portion 123 is partially inserted into the opening 11321 to block the opening 11321, so that the shell 113 and the movable portion 123 are jointly enclosed to form a closed air cavity 1133, so that the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 increases when the internal temperature increases, and the internal pressure decreases when the internal temperature of the air cavity 1133 decreases.

[0056] The air cavity 1133 is positively correlated with the temperature inside the cooking cavity 1111. When the temperature inside the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 increases, the pressure inside the air cavity 1133 increases. At this time, the air pressure inside the air cavity 1133 has a tendency to drive the mobile water sink 120 to move toward the water receiving position, so that when the cooking device 100 starts cooking, the temperature inside the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 both increase. At this time, the pressure inside the air cavity 1133 increases to drive the mobile water sink 120 to move to the water receiving position, so that the mobile water sink 120 automatically moves to the water receiving position when the cooking device 100 starts cooking and collects condensed water formed on the surface of the door body.

[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the liner assembly 110 includes a heating element 114, and the heating element 114 acts on the cooking cavity 1111 to provide heat for cooking the food in the cooking cavity 1111, and the heating element 114 is located in the air cavity 1133 or the heating element 114 is connected to the shell 113 and is located on one side of the air cavity 1133, then when the heating element 114 is turned on, the temperature of the air cavity 1133 and the cooking cavity 1111 both rises, and when the heating element 114 is turned off, the temperature in the air cavity 1133 and the cooking cavity 1111 both decreases, achieving a positive correlation between the temperatures of the two. In this embodiment, the heating element 114 is a heating plate, and the heating plate is located on one side of the air cavity 1133. In other embodiments, when the internal space of the air cavity 1133 is large enough, the heating element 114 can also be located inside the air cavity 1133.

[0058] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 113 includes a supporting portion 1131 and an extending portion 1132 connected to each other. In this embodiment, the heating element 114 is installed above the supporting portion 1131. In other embodiments, if the supporting portion 1131 is a hollow structure, the heating element 114 can also be installed inside the supporting portion 1131. The extending portion 1132 extends from the supporting portion 1131 toward the direction close to the moving portion 123. The air cavity 1133 is at least partially located in the extending portion 1132, and the opening 11321 is opened on the end surface of the extending portion 1132 facing the moving portion 123, so that the moving portion 123 of the mobile water tank 120 can pass through the opening 11321 and be partially inserted into the air cavity 1133.

[0059] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 includes an elastic member 130 acting on the shell 113 and the movable portion 123, and the elastic member 130 has a tendency to drive the movable water tank 120 to move toward the storage position, so that when the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 is reduced, the elastic member 130 drives the movable water tank 120 to return to the storage position.

[0060] In the above scheme, when the cooking device 100 starts the cooking process, the heating element 114 generates heat, the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 are both heated up, and the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 increases, thereby pushing the movable part 123 to drive the movable water tank 120 to move toward the water receiving position as a whole, so as to collect condensed water formed on the surface of the door body. When the cooking process is completed, the heating element 114 stops generating heat, and the temperature of the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 gradually decreases due to heat exchange with the outside, and the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 decreases. The pressure inside the air cavity 1133 acts on the movable part 123 less than the elastic force of the elastic part 130, and the elastic part 130 drives the movable part 123 and the movable water tank 120 to move toward the storage position as a whole.

[0061] In other embodiments, the movable water tank 120 may also be controlled by a driving source, which is controlled by whether the cooking device 100 is turned on for cooking, so that when the cooking device 100 is turned on for cooking, the driving source drives the water tank to move to the water receiving position.

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the mobile water tank 120 also includes a water outlet 124 connected to the water receiving portion 121, Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the water outlet portion 124 is provided with a water outlet 1241 connected to the water storage tank 1211 , so that the condensed water in the water storage cavity can be discharged through the water outlet 1241 .

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the cooking device 100 includes a water tank 140 located below the inner pot assembly 110, and a water storage space is provided in the water tank 140. When the movable water tank 120 is located in the storage position, the water outlet 1241 can be connected to the water storage space in an on-off manner to discharge the condensed water in the water storage cavity into the water tank 140 through the water outlet 1241, thereby avoiding excessive overflow of water in the water storage cavity.

[0064] like Fig.10 As shown, in one embodiment, two water storage spaces are provided in the water tank 140, and the water outlet 1241 can be connected to one of the two water storage spaces. For the convenience of description, the two water storage spaces are named as the clean water chamber 1421 and the waste water chamber 1422. In this embodiment, the clean water chamber 1421 is used to store water for cooking food, and the water outlet 1241 is connected to the waste water chamber 1422, so that the waste water chamber 1422 is used to store condensed water collected by the mobile water tank 120. In this embodiment, the space of the clean water chamber 1421 is larger than the space of the waste water chamber 1422.

[0065] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in one embodiment, the mobile water tank 120 includes a water plug 125 disposed at the water outlet 1241, and the water plug 125 is disposed to be movable up and down relative to the water outlet pipe, and as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the water outlet 1241 is provided on the bottom surface of the water outlet 124, and the water plug 125 is attached to the bottom surface of the water outlet 124 or partially inserted into the water outlet 1241 to block the water outlet 1241. When there is no external force acting on the water plug 125, the water plug 125 will be attached to the bottom surface of the water outlet 124 or partially inserted into the water outlet 1241 under the action of gravity, and the water outlet 1241 is blocked by the water plug 125. When the water plug 125 is forced to move upward, there will be a gap between the water plug 125 and the bottom surface of the water outlet 124, and at this time, the condensed water in the water storage chamber will flow out through the water outlet 1241.

[0066] like Fig.11 As shown, the water plug 125 includes a lifting portion 1251, a connecting portion 1252 and a blocking portion 1253 connected in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the lifting portion 1251 is located above the water outlet 124, the blocking portion 1253 is located inside the water outlet 124, a hole corresponding to the water outlet 1241 is opened on the top surface of the water outlet 124, the connecting portion 1252 is connected between the blocking portion 1253 and the lifting portion 1251 and movably penetrates the hole, and when the lifting portion 1251 is subjected to force, the water plug 125 moves up and down as a whole. Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting portion 1251 is a rod-shaped structure extending in any radial direction of the connecting portion 1252 to facilitate applying force to the lifting portion 1251 .

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 includes a fixed guide bracket 150, which is located at one side of the water receiving portion 121 and on the moving path of the water blocking plug 125 along with the water receiving portion 121, so that when the water blocking plug 125 moves toward the storage position along with the water receiving portion 121, the water blocking plug 125 will contact the guide bracket 150. In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, there are two guide brackets 150 , and the two guide brackets are located on both sides of the water receiving portion 121 , so that the force on the water blocking plug 125 is more uniform.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the guide bracket 150 has an inclined surface 151 arranged with an upward slope along the moving direction of the mobile water tank 120 from the water receiving position to the storage position, and the maximum distance between the inclined surface 151 and the plane where the water outlet 1241 is located is greater than the height of the water plug 125, so that the water plug 125 is lifted as the mobile water tank 120 moves to the storage position, thereby lifting the blocking part 1253 to a gap with the bottom surface of the water outlet part 124, so that the water outlet 1241 is opened, and the condensed water in the water storage chamber is opened through the water outlet 1241.

[0069] As the water plug 125 moves to the storage position along with the mobile water tank 120, the lifting portion 1251 is forced to automatically lift the water plug 125 as a whole under the action of the guide bracket 150, so that when the mobile water tank 120 moves to the storage position, the waste water chamber 1422 in the water tank 140 is connected. When the mobile water tank 120 moves to the water receiving position, the water plug 125 blocks the water outlet 1241 under the action of gravity to prevent condensed water from flowing out.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the water tank 140 includes a fixed box 141 and a box body 142 slidably connected to the fixed box 141, and a water storage space is opened in the box body 142, so that the box body 142 can be pulled to pour water out of the water storage space or pour water into the water storage space.

[0071] Combination Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a fixing hole 1411 is provided on the top surface of the fixing box 141 and is aligned with the water outlet 1241, and a water inlet hole 1423 is provided on the top surface of the box body 142 and is aligned with the fixing hole 1411. The water tank 140 also includes a sealing plug 143 movably penetrated through the fixing hole 1411, and the sealing plug 143 is configured to seal the fixing hole 1411 when the box body 142 is moved out of the fixing box 141, so that when the box body 142 is pulled out, the sealing plug 143 blocks the fixing hole 1411, thereby disconnecting the passage between the water outlet 1241 and the waste water chamber 1422, and preventing the water outlet 1241 from discharging water toward the inside of the fixing box 141 when the box body 142 is pulled out.

[0072] like Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing plug 143 includes a top portion 1431, a middle portion 1432 and a bottom portion 1433 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The top portion 1431 is located above the top surface of the fixing box 141 and has a diameter not less than the aperture of the fixing hole 1411, so as to prevent the top portion 1431 from passing through the fixing hole 1411 and entering the inside of the fixing box 141, and can block the fixing hole 1411 when the top portion 1431 is attached to the top surface of the fixing box 141. The middle portion 1432 is movably arranged in the fixing hole 1411 and the length of the middle portion 1432 is greater than the distance between the fixing box 141 and the top surface of the box body 142. The bottom portion 1433 is located between the fixing box 141 and the top surface of the box body 142, and as shown in FIG. Fig.10As shown, the length of the bottom end portion 1433 in at least one direction is greater than the aperture of the water inlet hole 1423, so that after the box body 142 is moved into the fixed box 141, the bottom end portion 1433 cannot be inserted into the water inlet hole 1423. Then, under the support of the top surface of the box body 142, it drives the middle portion 1432 and the top portion 1431 to move upward, so that the top portion 1431 cannot fit the top surface of the fixed box 141, and also cannot block the fixed hole 1411, so that the condensed water can flow from the gap between the fixed hole 1411 and the middle portion 1432 to the water inlet hole 1423, and then enter the wastewater chamber 1422, thereby realizing the passage connection between the water outlet 1241 and the wastewater chamber 1422.

[0073] like Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom end portion 1433 has a guide surface 14331, and the guide surface 14331 is inclined with a downward slope in a direction away from the top end portion 1431, so that the horizontal force applied to the box body 142 during the pushing and pulling process can be converted into a force to drive the sealing plug 143 to move up and down.

[0074] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 further includes a blocking member 160 and a water guide pipe 170 connected to the top surface of the fixing box 141 and located opposite to the fixing hole 1411. The water guide pipe 170 extends toward the direction close to the water outlet 124 to guide the condensed water flowing out of the water outlet 1241. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a passage connecting the water outlet 1241 and the fixing hole 1411 is provided inside the water conduit 170 , and a water hole 171 connecting the fixing hole 1411 is opened inside the water conduit 170 , and the water hole 171 is a part of the passage.

[0075] like Fig.13 As shown, the blocking member 160 is passed through the water hole 171 and the top of the blocking member 160 is provided with an upper blocking portion 161 respectively located above the water hole 171, and the diameter of the upper blocking portion 161 is larger than the aperture of the water hole 171, so that when the upper blocking portion 161 of the blocking member 160 is attached to the end surface of the water hole 171, the water hole 171 can be blocked, thereby blocking the channel connecting the water outlet 1241 and the fixing hole 1411.

[0076] In one embodiment, the blocking member 160 is made of a buoyant material, such as Fig.13As shown, the lower end of the sealing member 160 is provided with a lower sealing portion 162 located below the water hole 171, and the diameter of the lower sealing portion 162 is larger than the aperture of the water hole 171 to prevent the sealing member 160 from moving up and disengaging from the water hole 171, and the spacing distance between the upper sealing portion 161 and the lower sealing portion 162 is larger than the height of the water hole 171, so that when there is condensed water in the water pipe 170, the upper sealing portion 161 of the sealing member 160 floats up due to buoyancy, and the water hole 171 is opened at this time.

[0077] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the blocking member 160 is fixedly connected to the blocking plug 143 to move synchronously. In this embodiment, a connecting column 180 is provided between the blocking member 160 and the blocking plug 143, and the connecting column 180 fixes the blocking member 160 and the blocking plug 143 so that the two move synchronously. Fig.10 As shown, when the sealing plug 143 opens the fixing hole 1411 , the sealing member 160 opens the water hole 171 to allow the channel between the water outlet 1241 and the waste water chamber 1422 to communicate.

[0078] The cooking device 100 provided in the above scheme is provided with a mobile water tank 120 that can move between a storage position and a water receiving position, so that the mobile water tank 120 can be located under the door body when in the water receiving position, so that the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body can slide into the open water storage tank 1211 under the action of gravity to collect the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body; and the mobile water tank 120 can be moved to the storage position when there is no need to collect the condensed water, so that the mobile water tank 120 can be stored inside the inner tank assembly 110, thereby avoiding the mobile water tank 120 protruding from the inner tank assembly 110 and affecting the overall aesthetics and integrity of the cooking device 100, and avoiding the interference that may be caused by the mobile water tank 120 during the opening and closing of the door body.

[0079] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
