Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a cooking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the cooking device such as a steam oven is working, the inside of the cooking cavity is filled with high-temperature steam, while the temperature outside the cooking device is relatively low. Correspondingly, the temperature of the door body relative to the cooking cavity is relatively low. When the steam contacts the inner glass surface of the door body, the water vapor condenses to form condensed water due to the temperature difference. These condensed water will flow into the condensed water tank along the inner glass. At the same time, when the door body is closed, if the seal between the inner liner of the cooking cavity and the door body is not tight, it will also cause slight water leakage. These water will flow into the condensed water tank along the front wall of the inner liner.

[0003] In the existing cooking device, a condensed water tank is usually designed below the front wall of the inner liner to collect the condensed water on the inner liner and the inner glass. However, since the condensed water tank needs to be installed in front of the inner liner, it protrudes from the inner liner, which not only affects the overall appearance of the cooking device and the overall appearance of the cooking device, but also has the risk of affecting the rotation of the door body.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively show structural schematic diagrams of the cooking apparatus 100 in different states according to an embodiment of the present application. The cooking apparatus 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be a steamer, a steam oven, or other apparatuses having a cooking function, without limitation.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cooking apparatus 100 comprises an inner liner assembly 110, a door body (not shown) and a movable water tank 120, wherein the inner liner assembly 110 is provided with an open cooking cavity 1111 for placing and cooking food materials. The door body covers the opening of the cooking cavity 1111 of the inner liner assembly 110, so that the door body and the inner liner assembly 110 jointly enclose a sealed cooking cavity 1111, thereby facilitating cooking of food materials.

[0047] The movable water tank 120 is movably connected to the inner liner assembly 110 between a storage position as shown in Figure 2 and a water receiving position as shown in Figure 1 , in combination with Figure 3 , the movable water tank 120 comprises a water receiving portion 121, which is provided with a water storage groove 1211 with an open top end, as shown in Figure 1 When the movable water tank 120 is in the water receiving position, the water receiving portion 121 at least partially protrudes from the inner liner assembly 110, so that the water storage groove 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 groove 1211 under the action of gravity, thereby serving to collect the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body. As shown in Figure 2 When the movable water tank 120 is in the storage position, the movable water tank 120 does not protrude from the end surface of the inner liner assembly 110 towards the door body, so that the movable water tank 120 can be stored inside the inner liner assembly 110, thereby avoiding the movable water tank 120 protruding from the inner liner assembly 110 affecting the overall aesthetics and integrity of the cooking apparatus 100, and also avoiding possible interference of the movable water tank 120 during opening and closing of the door body.

[0048] As shown in 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 tank assembly 110 is flush with the end surface of the inner tank 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 movable water tank 120 is not less than the lateral length of the end face 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] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 112 is provided with a sliding rail 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 rail 1121, so that the mobile water tank 120 can slide along the sliding rail 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 face of the main body 111 toward the door body, so that the mobile water tank 120 moves in a direction perpendicular to the end face 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 this 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 movable 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 cooks food, the temperature in the cooking cavity 1111 increases. At this time, the movable water tank 120 moves toward the water receiving position, thereby realizing that when the cooking device 100 is working, that is, when condensation water may form on the surface of the door body, the movable 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 mobile water tank 120 includes a mobile 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 of the air cavity 1133 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 tank 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 tank 120 to move to the water receiving position, so that the mobile water tank 120 automatically moves to the water receiving position when the cooking device 100 starts cooking and collects condensed water formed on the door surface.

[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the drawings, in one of the embodiments, the inner container assembly 110 comprises a heating element 114, which acts on the cooking cavity 1111 to provide heat for cooking the food materials in the cooking cavity 1111, and the heating element 114 is located in the air cavity 1133 or connected to the shell 113 and located on one side of the air cavity 1133, so that when the heating element 114 is started, the temperatures of the air cavity 1133 and the cooking cavity 1111 are both increased, and when the heating element 114 is turned off, the temperatures in the air cavity 1133 and the cooking cavity 1111 are both decreased, realizing the positive correlation of the temperatures of the two. In the present embodiment, the heating element 114 is a heating disc, which is located on one side of the air cavity 1133, and 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] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one of the embodiments, the shell 113 comprises a support part 1131 and an extension part 1132 connected together, in the present embodiment, the heating element 114 is installed above the support part 1131, and in other embodiments, if the support part 1131 is a hollow structure, the heating element 114 can also be installed inside the support part 1131. The extension part 1132 extends from the support part 1131 towards the direction close to the moving part 123, the air cavity 1133 is at least partially located in the extension part 1132, and an opening 11321 is formed in the end face of the extension part 1132 towards the moving part 123, so that the moving part 123 of the moving water tank 120 can pass through the opening 11321 and partially insert into the air cavity 1133.

[0059] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one of the embodiments, the cooking device 100 comprises a resilient element 130 acting on the shell 113 and the moving part 123, the resilient element 130 has a tendency to drive the moving water tank 120 to move towards the storage position, so that when the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 decreases, the resilient element 130 drives the moving water tank 120 to reset to the storage position.

[0060] In the above scheme, when the cooking device 100 starts the cooking process, the heating element 114 heats up, the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 are both warmed up, the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 is increased, thereby pushing the moving part 123 to drive the moving water tank 120 as a whole to move towards the water receiving position, so as to collect the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body, and when the cooking process is completed, the heating element 114 stops heating, the cooking cavity 1111 and the air cavity 1133 gradually decrease in temperature due to heat exchange with the outside, the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 is decreased, and the force of the internal pressure of the air cavity 1133 on the moving part 123 is smaller than the elastic force of the resilient element 130, so that the resilient element 130 drives the moving part 123 and the moving water tank 120 as a whole to move towards the storage position.

[0061] In other embodiments, the mobile water tank 120 can also be controlled by a driving source, which is controlled by whether the cooking apparatus 100 is in a cooking state, so that the driving source drives the mobile water tank to the water receiving position when the cooking apparatus 100 is in the cooking state.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the mobile water tank 120 further comprises a water outlet 124 connected to the water receiving part 121, in combination with Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the water outlet 124 is provided with a water outlet opening 1241 communicating with the water storage tank 1211, so that the condensed water in the water storage cavity can be discharged through the water outlet opening 1241.

[0063] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the cooking apparatus 100 comprises a water tank 140 located below the inner container assembly 110, the water tank 140 is provided with a water storage space, and the water outlet opening 1241 is in communication with the water storage space in an on-off manner when the mobile water tank 120 is in the storage position, so that the condensed water in the water storage cavity can be discharged through the water outlet opening 1241 into the water tank 140, thereby avoiding excessive water overflow in the water storage cavity.

[0064] As shown in Figure 10 , in one embodiment, the water tank 140 is provided with two water storage spaces separated by a partition, and the water outlet opening 1241 is in communication with one of the two water storage spaces in an on-off manner. For ease of description, the two water storage spaces are respectively named as a clean water cavity 1421 and a waste water cavity 1422, in this embodiment, the clean water cavity 1421 is used to store water for cooking food, and the water outlet opening 1241 is in communication with the waste water cavity 1422, so that the waste water cavity 1422 is used to store the condensed water collected by the mobile water tank 120. In this embodiment, the space of the clean water cavity 1421 is larger than that of the waste water cavity 1422.

[0065] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in one embodiment, the mobile water tank 120 comprises a water plug 125 arranged at the water outlet opening 1241, the water plug 125 is arranged to be movable up and down relative to the water outlet pipe, and as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, water outlet 1241 is provided on the bottom surface of water outlet portion 124. When water plug 125 abuts against the bottom surface of water outlet portion 124 or is partially inserted into water outlet 1241, it blocks water outlet 1241. When no external force is acting on water plug 125, gravity forces water plug 125 to abut against the bottom surface of water outlet portion 124 or partially insert into water outlet 1241, thereby blocking water outlet 1241. However, when water plug 125 is forced upward, a gap forms between water plug 125 and the bottom surface of water outlet portion 124. Condensed water in the water storage chamber then flows out through water outlet 1241.

[0066] like Figure 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, and a hole is opened on the top surface of the water outlet 124 corresponding to the water outlet 1241. The connecting portion 1252 is connected between the blocking portion 1253 and the lifting portion 1251 and is movably arranged in the hole. When the lifting portion 1251 is subjected to force, the water plug 125 moves up and down as a whole. Figure 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 on 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 shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, there are two guide brackets 150 , which 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 movable 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 movable 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] During the process of moving the water tank 120 to the storage position, the lifting part 1251 is forced to drive the whole water plug 125 to automatically lift up under the action of the guide bracket 150, so as to realize the connection between the waste water cavity 1422 in the water tank 140 when the water tank 120 is moved to the storage position. When the water tank 120 is moved to the water receiving position, the water plug 125 is blocked under the action of gravity to avoid the outflow of condensed water.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 one of the embodiments, the water tank 140 includes a fixed box 141 fixedly arranged and a tank body 142 slidably connected to the fixed box 141. The water storage space is arranged in the tank body 142, so as to pull the tank body 142 to pour water out of the water storage space or pour water into the water storage space.

[0071] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 the top surface of the fixed box 141 is provided with a fixed hole 1411 aligned with the water outlet 1241, and the top surface of the tank body 142 is provided with a water inlet hole 1423 aligned with the fixed hole 1411. The water tank 140 further includes a blocking plug 143 movably arranged in the fixed hole 1411. The blocking plug 143 is configured to block the fixed hole 1411 when the tank body 142 is moved out of the inside of the fixed box 141, so that when the tank body 142 is pulled out, the blocking plug 143 blocks the fixed hole 1411, thereby disconnecting the passage between the water outlet 1241 and the waste water cavity 1422, and avoiding the water outlet 1241 from discharging water towards the inside of the fixed box 141 when the tank body 142 is pulled out.

[0072] As shown in Figure 12 one of the embodiments, the blocking plug 143 includes a top end part 1431, a middle part 1432 and a bottom end part 1433 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The top end part 1431 is located above the top surface of the fixed box 141 and has a diameter not less than the diameter of the fixed hole 1411, so as to avoid the top end part 1431 from entering the inside of the fixed box 141 through the fixed hole 1411 and to be able to block the fixed hole 1411 when the top end part 1431 is attached to the top surface of the fixed box 141. The middle part 1432 is movably arranged in the fixed hole 1411 and has a length greater than the distance between the top surface of the fixed box 141 and the tank body 142. The bottom end part 1433 is located between the top surface of the fixed box 141 and the tank body 142, and as shown in Figure 10As shown, the length of the bottom end portion 1433 in at least one direction is greater than the hole diameter of the water inlet hole 1423, so that after the box 142 is moved into the inside of the fixed box 141, the bottom end portion 1433 cannot be inserted into the water inlet hole 1423, and is driven to move upward together with the middle portion 1432 and the top end portion 1431 under the support of the top surface of the box 142, so that the top end portion 1431 cannot be attached to the top surface of the fixed box 141, and 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 waste water cavity 1422, to realize the communication between the water outlet 1241 and the waste water cavity 1422.

[0073] As shown in the drawings, Figure 12 In one embodiment, the bottom end portion 1433 has a guide surface 14331 inclined downward in the direction away from the top end portion 1431, so that the horizontal force during the pushing and pulling process of the box 142 can be converted into the force driving the blocking plug 143 to move up and down.

[0074] As shown in the drawings, Figures 8 to 10 In one embodiment, the cooking device 100 further comprises a blocking member 160 and a water guide pipe 170 connected to the top surface of the fixed box 141 and located at the fixed hole 1411, the water guide pipe 170 extends towards the direction close to the water outlet 124, so as to have a water guide effect on the condensed water flowing out of the water outlet 1241. As shown in the drawings, Figures 8 to 10 The water guide pipe 170 is internally provided with a channel communicating the water outlet 1241 and the fixed hole 1411, and the water guide pipe 170 is internally provided with a water passing hole 171 communicating the fixed hole 1411, and the water passing hole 171 is part of the channel.

[0075] As shown in the drawings, Figure 13 The blocking member 160 is arranged in the water passing hole 171, and the top end of the blocking member 160 is provided with an upper blocking portion 161 located above the water passing hole 171, and the diameter of the upper blocking portion 161 is greater than the hole diameter of the water passing hole 171, so that when the upper blocking portion 161 of the blocking member 160 is attached to the end surface of the water passing hole 171, the water passing hole 171 can be blocked, so as to block the channel communicating the water outlet 1241 and the fixed hole 1411.

[0076] In one embodiment, the blocking member 160 is made of a buoyant material, as shown in the drawings, Figure 13As shown, the lower end of the blocking member 160 is provided with a lower blocking portion 162 below the water passage hole 171, and the diameter of the lower blocking portion 162 is greater than the diameter of the water passage hole 171 to avoid the blocking member 160 moving upward and separating from the water passage hole 171, and the spacing distance between the upper blocking portion 161 and the lower blocking portion 162 is greater than the height of the water passage hole 171, so that when there is condensed water in the water guide pipe 170, the upper blocking portion 161 of the blocking member 160 is floated upward by the buoyancy, at which time the water passage hole 171 is opened.

[0077] As shown, Figures 8 to 10 In one embodiment, the blocking member 160 is fixedly connected with the blocking plug 143 to move synchronously, and in this embodiment, a connecting column 180 is arranged between the blocking member 160 and the blocking plug 143 to fixedly connect the blocking member 160 and the blocking plug 143 so that they move synchronously. Figure 10 As shown, when the blocking plug 143 opens the fixed hole 1411, the blocking member 160 opens the water passage hole 171 to make the passage between the water outlet 1241 and the waste water cavity 1422 communicate.

[0078] The cooking device 100 provided in the above scheme can make the movable water tank 120 not only be located below the door body 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 play a role of collecting the condensed water formed on the surface of the door body, but also be moved to the storage position when the condensed water does not need to be collected, so that the movable water tank 120 can be stored inside the inner container assembly 110, thereby avoiding the movable water tank 120 protruding from the inner container assembly 110 to affect the overall aesthetics and integrity of the cooking device 100, and also avoiding the interference caused by the movable water tank 120 in the opening and closing process of the door body.

[0079] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present disclosure.
