[0044] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0045] Reference will be made below to Figures 1 - 8 Describe a steam cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The steam cooking device 100 generates steam to steam food ingredients.

[0046] The steam cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a machine base 1 and a pot assembly 2.

[0047] Wherein, a steam generating device 4 is provided in the machine base 1. The steam generating device 4 is used to generate steam, and the machine base 1 is provided with a steam conveying portion 101. The steam conveying portion 101 is used to convey steam to the pot assembly 2 to steam-cook food ingredients through the steam.

[0048] The pot assembly 2 includes a first steaming rack 21 and a steam baffle 23. The first steaming rack 21 has a downwardly open receiving cavity, and a steam joint 201 is provided on the top wall 214 of the first steaming rack 21. The steam joint 201 is used to communicate with the steam delivery part 101, and steam can enter the receiving cavity in a manner of being delivered from top to bottom. The steam delivery part 101 can deliver steam into the first steaming rack 21 through the steam joint 201. The steam baffle 23 is installed on the first steaming rack 21, and the steam baffle 23 can divide the receiving cavity into a steam cavity 211 and a first cooking cavity 212 arranged in the vertical direction. Moreover, the steam baffle 23 is provided with an opening 231, and the opening 231 is used to communicate the steam cavity 211 with the first cooking cavity 212.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2 , the steam baffle 23 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the steam baffle 23 can divide the receiving cavity to form a steam cavity 211 and a first cooking cavity 212. Among them, the steam cavity 211 located above is communicated with the steam joint 201 on the top wall 214 of the first steaming rack 21. The high-temperature steam entering through the steam joint 201 will first fill the steam cavity 211, and further be delivered to the side of the first cooking cavity 212 through the opening 231.

[0050] It can be understood that the steam joint 201 is directly communicated with the steam cavity 211. Steam can be delivered into the steam cavity 211 through the steam joint 201. And because the steam has a high temperature, the density of the steam is less than the density of the air originally in the steam cavity 211. Thus, the steam entering the steam cavity 211 has the characteristic of converging at the top of the steam cavity 211, enabling the steam to preferentially converge in the steam cavity 211. Moreover, the steam cavity 211 is formed by being divided by the steam baffle 23, and the steam baffle 23 has a certain effect of restricting steam diffusion, so that the steam can preferentially fill the steam cavity 211.

[0051] Furthermore, the steam in the steam cavity 211 can enter the first cooking cavity 212 through the pores on the steam baffle 23. And because the steam cavity 211 is located above the first cooking cavity 212, the steam in the steam cavity 211 is delivered downward to the first cooking cavity 212. That is to say, the steam delivery method at the first cooking cavity 212 is to deliver steam from the top. The steam entering the first cooking cavity 212 from the top can gradually fill the first cooking cavity 212 in a manner of diffusing from top to bottom.

[0052] During the process of the steam gradually filling the first cooking cavity 212, the steam enters the first cooking cavity 212 from top to bottom, which can discharge the air in the first cooking cavity 212, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the first cooking cavity 212, making the ingredients in the first cooking cavity 212 in a low-oxygen concentration cooking environment, and effectively avoiding the oxidation of the ingredients caused by contact with oxygen during the steaming process.

[0053] It should be noted that in the steam cooking device 100, the temperature of the cooking cavity is increased by delivering steam to the cooking cavity to steam the ingredients. In the related art, the steam generating device 4 is usually arranged at the bottom of the cooking device to deliver steam from the bottom of the cooking cavity. In the initial stage of cooking, the temperature in the cooking cavity rises rapidly, but there is still a large amount of air in the cooking cavity and it is not completely filled with steam. In a high-temperature environment, the ingredients come into contact with oxygen in the air and oxidize, resulting in nutrient loss and color change of the ingredients, etc., affecting the cooking effect of the ingredients.

[0054] In the present application, the steam delivery part 101 of the machine base 1 is communicated with the steam joint 201 located at the top of the first steaming rack 21 to deliver steam into the pot assembly 2 from the top, and a vertically arranged steam cavity 211 and a first cooking cavity 212 are formed in the first steaming rack 21. After the steam enters the first steaming rack 21, it can gradually fill the steam cavity 211 first, and further enter the first cooking cavity 212 through the air holes of the steam baffle 23 until the first cooking cavity 212 is filled with steam.

[0055] Among them, the ingredients are arranged in the first cooking cavity 212. When the steam enters the steam cavity 211, the steam does not directly contact the ingredients, but enters the first cooking cavity 212 after the steam cavity 211 is filled, and gradually discharges the air inside the first cooking cavity 212 from top to bottom and then contacts the ingredients to transfer heat, so that the ingredients in the first cooking cavity 212 are in a cooking environment with a low oxygen concentration during the heating and cooking process, which can effectively prevent the problem of a large amount of nutrient loss and color change of the ingredients caused by oxidation during steaming.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the volume of the steam cavity 211 is smaller than the volume of the first cooking cavity 212, so that the steam entering the first steaming rack 21 through the steam joint 201 can quickly fill the steam cavity 211, and can flow toward the first cooking cavity 212 through the steam to generate a certain pressure, thereby promoting the discharge of the air in the first cooking cavity 212 and reducing the oxygen content in the first cooking cavity 212.

[0057] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple opening holes 231, and the multiple opening holes 231 are evenly distributed on the steam baffle 23, so as to improve the uniformity of the steam entering the first cooking cavity 212 from the steam cavity 211, which helps to fully discharge the air in the first cooking cavity 212, and the steam and air will not disturb each other to form a turbulent flow in the first cooking cavity 212.

[0058] It can be understood that the number of the openings 231 and the aperture size of the openings 231 determine the communication area between the steam cavity 211 and the first cooking cavity 212. Meanwhile, the aperture size, spacing, shape, etc. of the openings 231 are not specifically limited herein and can be designed according to factors such as the volume of the first cooking cavity 212 and the steam flow rate.

[0059] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the openings 231 are configured as round holes, and a plurality of the openings 231 are arranged in an array on the steam baffle 23. Taking the steam baffle 23 being configured as a rectangle as an example, a plurality of the openings 231 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns on the steam baffle 23, so that the steam cavity 211 can uniformly deliver steam to the first cooking cavity 212 side through the openings 231.

[0060] It should be noted that the shape of the steam baffle 23 is adapted to the shape of the first steaming rack 21 to ensure the separation effect of the accommodation. For example: when the shape of the accommodation cavity space formed by the first steaming rack 21 is a cuboid, the first steaming rack 21 is configured as a rectangle, so that the steam baffle 23 can fit with the inner wall surface of the first steaming rack 21 to reduce the gap between the edge of the steam baffle 23 and the inner wall surface.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the first steaming rack 21 includes a side wall 215 and a top wall 214. The top wall 214 is connected to the upper edge of the side wall 215, and the top wall 214 is configured as a trapezoidal shape and forms a first accommodation space that opens downward. The first accommodation space is arranged in a gradually expanding shape downward. The side wall 215 surrounds and forms a second accommodation space in the shape of a cuboid. The steam baffle 23 is arranged at the adjacent position of the top wall 214 and the side wall 215 and separates the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space to form the steam cavity 211 and the first cooking cavity 212.

[0062] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pot assembly 2 further includes a second steaming rack 22. The second steaming rack 22 is arranged below the first steaming rack 21, and the second steaming rack 22 forms a second cooking area communicating with the first cooking cavity 212.

[0063] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second cooking area is formed by the second steaming rack 22, and the second cooking area is arranged below the first cooking area. Since the second cooking cavity 221 and the first cooking cavity 212 are communicatively arranged, when the steam fills the first cooking cavity 212, the steam in the first cooking cavity 212 can enter the second cooking cavity 221 to further increase the ambient temperature in the second cooking cavity 221.

[0064] It can be understood that the second cooking cavity 221 can be used to accommodate the ingredients to be cooked, and the ingredients are steamed by delivering steam into the second cooking cavity 221.

[0065] Among them, the second cooking cavity 221 is arranged below the first cooking cavity 212, and the top of the second cooking cavity 221 is communicated with the bottom of the first cooking cavity 212. Thus, the steam in the second cooking cavity 221 also enters from the top, which helps to discharge the air in the second cooking cavity 221.

[0066] In a further embodiment of the present application, the second steaming rack 22 is provided with exhaust holes (not shown), and the exhaust holes are used for discharging the steam in the second cooking cavity 221 to prevent the pressure in the second cooking cavity 221 from being too high.

[0067] It should be noted that the pot assembly 2 needs to be provided with an exhaust structure to communicate the cooking space of the pot assembly 2 (such as the above-mentioned first cooking cavity 212 and second cooking cavity 221) with the outside world through the exhaust structure. The air or steam in the cooking space can be discharged through the exhaust structure to prevent the pressure in the pot assembly 2 from being too high and improve the working reliability of the steam cooking device 100.

[0068] It can be understood that when steam is continuously delivered into the pot assembly 2 through the base 1, the steam content in the pot assembly 2 increases, which will cause the pressure in the pot assembly 2 to increase. If the exhaust structure is not provided, the steam or air in the pot assembly 2 cannot be discharged, resulting in too high pressure in the pot assembly 2 and unable to meet the cooking requirements for cooking ingredients in a low-oxygen environment.

[0069] Refer to Figure 4 , the shape of the second steaming rack 22 is adapted to the shape of the first steaming rack 21 to facilitate the assembly of the second bracket 312 and the first bracket 311, and the first steaming rack 21 can be supported by the second steaming rack 22. Among them, the second steaming rack 22 is surrounded by a plurality of wall surfaces and forms a second cooking cavity 221 with both ends open in the vertical direction. The exhaust holes are arranged on the wall surface of the second steaming rack 22 to exhaust air laterally from the second steaming rack 22.

[0070] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pot assembly 2 further includes a first steaming plate 241. The first steaming plate 241 can be arranged between the first steaming rack 21 and the second steaming rack 22, and the first steaming plate 241 is used for placing ingredients so that the ingredients can be arranged in the first cooking cavity 212.

[0071] It can be understood that the first steaming plate 241 is arranged between the first steaming rack 21 and the second steaming rack 22 to form a supporting structure above the second steaming rack 22, thereby forming a structure for placing food ingredients. Thus, when it is necessary to arrange food ingredients in the first cooking cavity 212, the first steaming plate 241 can be arranged between the first steaming rack 21 and the second steaming rack 22, and the food ingredients to be cooked can be placed on the first steaming plate 241.

[0072] Furthermore, steam through holes 2411 are provided on the first steaming plate 241. The steam through holes 2411 are used to communicate the first cooking cavity 212 and the second cooking cavity 221. The steam in the first cooking cavity 212 can enter the second cooking cavity 221 through the steam through holes 2411. Among them, the steam in the first cooking cavity 212 gradually fills from top to bottom. During the process of the steam filling the first cooking cavity 212, the temperature of the first steaming plate 241 can also be increased. When the steam enters the second cooking cavity 221 through the steam through holes, the temperature difference between the steam and the bottom surface of the first steaming plate 241 (i.e., some surfaces facing the second cooking cavity 221) is small, which can reduce the condensate generated on the first steaming plate 241, prevent condensate from forming on the top of the second cooking cavity 221, avoid condensate dripping onto the food ingredients arranged in the second cooking cavity 221, and improve the cooking effect of the steam cooking device 100 on the food ingredients.

[0073] In a further embodiment of the present application, the total area of the openings 231 in the steam baffle 23 is smaller than the total area of the steam through holes 2411 in the first steaming plate 241.

[0074] It should be noted that multiple openings 231 can be provided in the steam baffle 23. The above-mentioned "total area of the openings 231 in the steam baffle 23" refers to: the communication area between the steam cavity 211 and the first cooking cavity 212, which can be jointly formed by multiple openings 231, that is, the sum of the areas of multiple openings 231; multiple steam through holes 2411 can also be provided on the first steaming plate 241. The above-mentioned "total area of the steam through holes 2411 in the first steaming plate 241" refers to: the communication area between the first cooking cavity 212 and the second cooking cavity 221, which can be jointly formed by multiple steam through holes 2411, that is, the sum of the areas of multiple steam through holes 2411.

[0075] When the communication area between the steam cavity 211 and the first cooking cavity 212 is smaller than the communication area between the first cooking cavity 212 and the second cooking cavity 221, the downward flow rate of the steam from the steam cavity 211 to the first cooking cavity 212 side can be reduced, thereby generating a certain pressure to flow towards the first cooking cavity 212 side, which can promote the discharge of air in the first cooking cavity 212.

[0076] It can be understood that since the communication area between the steam chamber 211 and the first cooking chamber 212 is smaller than the communication area between the first cooking chamber 212 and the second cooking chamber 221, the speed of steam delivery from the steam chamber 211 to the first cooking chamber 212 is slow. As steam is delivered into the steam chamber 211, the pressure at the opening 231 can be increased, enabling the steam to be delivered to the first cooking chamber 212 side with a certain pressure, which can promote the discharge of air in the first cooking chamber 212.

[0077] It should be noted that the first cooking chamber 212 is in communication with the second cooking chamber 221, and the air in the first cooking chamber 212 can be discharged towards the second cooking chamber 221 side to reduce the amount of oxygen in the first cooking chamber 212.

[0078] Among them, when the first steaming plate 241 is provided with a plurality of steam through holes 2411, the shapes between the plurality of steam through holes 2411 can be different, such as being configured in the shapes of round holes, oblong holes, etc., that is, the steam through holes 2411 only need to satisfy the communication between the first cooking chamber 212 and the second cooking chamber 221. The communication area between the above-mentioned first cooking chamber 212 and the second cooking chamber 221 is the sum of the areas of the plurality of steam through holes 2411.

[0079] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the present application, the pot assembly 2 further includes a second steaming plate 242. The second steaming plate 242 is used for placing food ingredients, and the second steaming plate 242 is arranged below the second steaming rack 22 to form a support structure at the lower part of the second steaming rack 22 to meet the cooking requirements for arranging food ingredients in the second cooking chamber 221.

[0080] It should be noted that both the first steaming plate 241 and the second steaming plate 242 can form a support structure at the bottom of the cooking chamber (i.e., the above-mentioned first cooking chamber 212 and second cooking chamber 221) to support the food ingredients or the utensils containing the food ingredients.

[0081] Furthermore, after the steam cooking device 100 has cooked for a period of time, a certain amount of condensed water will accumulate at the bottom of the pot assembly 2. When the second steaming plate 242 is spaced from the bottom of the pot assembly 2 and food ingredients are placed through the second steaming plate 242, the food ingredients or the utensils containing the food ingredients can be spaced from the condensed water, and the steam filled in the second cooking chamber 221 can contact the bottom of the food ingredients or the utensils, heating the food ingredients more fully.

[0082] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4, It can be further understood that a support flange 216 extending outward is provided at the lower part of the side wall 215 of the first steaming rack 21. The support flange 216 can support on the second steaming rack 22 in a lapping manner, and the first steaming plate 241 can be clamped between the support flange 216 and the second steaming rack 22. The first cooking cavity 212 and the second cooking cavity 221 are separated by the first steaming plate 241 to form two vertically arranged and interconnected cooking cavities. When steaming food materials through the steam cooking device 100, the food materials in the first cooking cavity 212 are placed on the first steaming plate 241, and the food materials in the second cooking cavity 221 are placed on the second steaming plate 242 to disperse the food materials to be cooked and improve the cooking efficiency.

[0083] Among them, when the volume of the food material to be cooked is large, a larger cooking space is required to accommodate the food material. At this time, the first steaming plate 241 between the first steaming rack 21 and the second steaming rack 22 can be cancelled, and the first cooking cavity 212 and the second cooking cavity 221 together form a cooking space with a larger volume to meet the accommodation requirement for the food material with a larger volume.

[0084] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the steam cooking further includes a water receiving tray 25. The water receiving tray 25 is arranged below the second steaming rack 22, and the water receiving tray 25 is used to receive the condensed water in the pot assembly 2 to collect the condensed water through the water receiving tray 25, which is convenient for unified treatment of the condensed water. It can be understood that the water receiving tray 25 is formed with a water receiving groove that is open upward, and the water receiving groove is used to collect and store the condensed water.

[0085] Among them, during the cooking process of the food material by the steam cooking device 100, condensed water will be generated. Under the action of gravity, the condensed water will converge towards the bottom wall side of the pot assembly 2. By arranging the water receiving tray 25 below the second steaming rack 22, the condensed water can be collected. Refer to Figure 2 , the second steaming plate 242 is clamped between the water receiving tray 25 and the second steaming rack 22 to place the food material through the second steaming plate 242, arrange the food material above the water receiving groove, and set it at an interval from the condensed water.

[0086] Combined with Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first steaming rack 21 is provided with a fixed seat 213. The fixed seat 213 is arranged in the steam cavity 211, and the fixed seat 213 is arranged around the air outlet port of the steam joint 201 (i.e., the end where the steam joint 201 is connected to the steam cavity 211).

[0087] Furthermore, the pot assembly 2 also includes a mounting seat 260 , which is connected to the steam baffle 23 , and the mounting seat 260 is detachably mounted on the fixing seat 213 , so that the steam baffle 23 can be mounted to the first steam rack 21 through the mounting seat 260 .

[0088] It can be understood that the fixed seat 213 is arranged on the first steaming rack 21 as an installation structure of the steam baffle 23, and the steam baffle 23 is provided with a mounting seat 260 connected and cooperated with the fixed seat 213, so that the steam baffle 23 can be installed on the first steaming rack 21 by being installed in the connection and cooperation with the fixed seat 213.

[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the fixing seat 213 is provided with a vent hole 2131 , and the vent hole 2131 is used to allow the steam in the fixing seat 213 to flow into the steam chamber 211 .

[0090] Reference Figure 7 The fixed seat 213 is constructed as an annular structure and is arranged around the outlet port of the steam structure in the circumferential direction. By forming an air vent 2131 penetrating along the wall thickness direction on the fixed seat 213, steam can be transported from the fixed seat 213 to the steam chamber 211, and the air vent 2131 is arranged in an area avoiding the mounting seat 260 to prevent the mounting seat 260 from obstructing the steam transportation.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixing seat 213 is provided with a card slot 2132, and the mounting seat 260 is provided with a buckle, which can be snap-fitted with the card slot 2132, so that the fixing seat 213 and the mounting seat 260 are snap-connected and connected. The connection method is simple and has high reliability, which can reduce the difficulty of assembling the mounting seat 260 and the fixing seat 213.

[0092] There are multiple sets of buckles and slots 2132 to improve the matching reliability between the fixing seat 213 and the mounting seat 260. Figure 7 , taking the fixing seat 213 having two card slots 2132 as an example, the two card slots 2132 are arranged opposite to each other; Figure 5 Two buckles are provided on the mounting seat 260, and the two buckles can be respectively engaged with the two slots 2132.

[0093] Reference Figure 7 The vent holes 2131 and the slots 2132 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the fixing seat 213, thereby preventing the vent holes 2131 and the slots 2132 from being too close to each other and causing the structural strength of the fixing seat 213 to be insufficient.

[0094] Reference Figure 7, in some embodiments of the present application, the ventilation hole 2131 is provided at the top of the fixed seat 213, that is, the ventilation hole 2131 is arranged at a position adjacent to the air inlet of the steam joint 201.

[0095] That is to say, in the present application, the ventilation hole 2131 is provided on the side of the fixed seat 213 adjacent to the top wall of the first steaming rack 21, and the ventilation hole 2131 is provided above the clamping groove 2132.

[0096] Further in combination with Figure 5 , the mounting seat 260 is mounted from the bottom-up from the open end side downward of the fixed seat 213, and the ventilation hole 2131 is arranged above the clamping groove 2132, so as to avoid the ventilation hole 2131 being blocked after the mounting seat 260 is connected and matched with the fixed seat 213.

[0097] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the mounting seat 260 is provided with a mounting groove 263, the buckle includes a first buckle 261 and a second buckle 262, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 are slidably arranged at both ends of the mounting groove 263, and the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 are connected by an elastic member 264. The elastic member 264 can store energy when the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 approach, and apply a force to the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 to move away from each other.

[0098] Among them, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 are arranged at the mounting groove 263, and the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can slide relative to the mounting seat 260. In the top surface projection of the mounting seat 260, the projections of the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 fall outside the mounting seat 260, and the parts of the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 protruding from the mounting seat 260 can be snapped into the clamping groove 2132 to connect the mounting seat 260 with the fixed seat 213.

[0099] It can be understood that the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can approach each other. When the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 approach each other, the elastic member 264 will be compressed, the elastic member 264 stores energy, and the elastic member 264 has a tendency to drive the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 to move away from each other.

[0100] Referring to Figure 3 , when the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 approach each other, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can respectively disengage from the two clamping grooves 2132 of the fixed seat 213 to release the locked state of the mounting seat 260 and the fixed seat 213, and the mounting seat 260 can be removed from the fixed seat 213.

[0101] Referring toFigure 3 , in some embodiments of the present application, the mounting groove 263 includes: a first groove 2631, a second groove 2632, and a communication groove 2633 connecting the first groove 2631 and the second groove 2632. The first groove 2631, the communication groove 2633, and the second groove 2632 are arranged collinearly. Among them, the first buckle 261 is disposed at the first groove 2631, and a part of the first buckle 261 extends into the communication groove 2633. The groove wall of the communication groove 2633 can cooperate with the extending part of the first buckle 261 to guide the sliding direction of the first buckle 261 relative to the mounting base 260; the second buckle 262 is disposed at the second groove 2632, and a part of the second buckle 262 extends into the communication groove 2633. The groove wall of the communication groove 2633 can also cooperate with the extending part of the second buckle 262 to guide the sliding direction of the second buckle 262 relative to the mounting base 260.

[0102] Meanwhile, the elastic member 264 is disposed in the communication groove 2633, and the elastic member 264 elastically supports the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262. When the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 approach each other, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 compress the elastic member 264, and the parts of the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 extending into the communication groove 2633 increase. The first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can be disengaged from the slot 2132 of the fixed base 213 to release the locked state between the mounting base 260 and the fixed base 213.

[0103] In the present application, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can slide in the mounting groove 263, that is, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can approach or move away from each other to selectively engage with the fixed base 213, so as to detachably connect the mounting base 260 and the fixed base 213. Thus, the steam baffle 23 can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the inner side of the steam baffle 23 and the top wall 214 of the first steaming rack 21, ensuring the hygiene of the steam cooking device 100.

[0104] As Figure 3 shown, the first buckle 261 is provided with a first stop rib 2611 for limiting cooperation with the mounting base 260; the second buckle 262 is provided with a second stop rib 2621 for limiting cooperation with the mounting base 260. Thus, the movement stroke of the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 in the mounting groove 263 can be limited to prevent the first buckle 261 or the second buckle 262 from retracting into the communication groove 2633.

[0105] As Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first clamping portion 2613 is provided at one end of the first opening 261 away from the second buckle 262, and the first clamping portion 2613 is in clamping cooperation with the clamping groove 2132; a second clamping portion 2623 is provided at one end of the second buckle 262 away from the first buckle 261, and the second clamping portion (2623) is in clamping cooperation with the clamping groove 2132.

[0106] Among them, the fixing base 213 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 2132, and the plurality of clamping grooves 2132 are respectively in clamping cooperation with the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262.

[0107] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first buckle 261 is provided with a first guiding portion 2612, and the second buckle 262 is provided with a second guiding portion 2622. The first guiding portion 2612 and the second guiding portion 2622 are respectively used for guiding cooperation with the fixing base 213 to reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the mounting base 260 and the fixing base 213. Refer to Figure 3 , both the first guiding portion 2612 and the second guiding portion 2622 are configured as V-shaped guiding surfaces in a V shape, and the opening of the V shape faces the center side of the mounting base 260.

[0108] Refer to Figure 3 , the first guiding portion 2612 is the surface that cooperates with the edge of the clamping groove 2132 when the first clamping portion 2613 is inserted into the clamping groove 2132, and the second guiding portion 2622 is the surface that cooperates with the edge of the clamping groove 2132 when the second clamping portion 2623 is inserted into the clamping groove.

[0109] Among them, when the mounting base 260 is installed on the fixing base 213, through the cooperation of the fixing base 213 with the upper inclined surface of the V-shaped guiding surface, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can be driven to approach each other, and the elastic member 264 stores energy. And when the mounting base 260 is installed in place, the elastic member 264 drives the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 to move away from each other and snap into the clamping groove 2132. It can be understood that when it is necessary to remove the mounting base 260 from the fixing base 213, similarly, through the cooperation of the fixing base 213 with the lower inclined surface of the V-shaped guiding surface, the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 can be driven to approach each other, and the elastic member 264 stores energy. And when the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 are removed from the fixing base 213, the elastic member 264 drives the first buckle 261 and the second buckle 262 to reset. Thus, the assembly difficulty of the mounting base 260 and the fixing base 213 can be reduced.

[0110] As Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the mounting base 260 includes a first mounting bracket 2601 and a second mounting bracket 2602. The first mounting bracket 2601 and the second mounting bracket 2602 are respectively arranged on both sides of the steam baffle 23, and the first mounting bracket 2601 is connected to the second mounting bracket 2602 to clamp and fix the steam baffle 23.

[0111] It can be understood that the mounting base 260 is a connecting structure arranged on the steam baffle 23 for connecting and cooperating with the fixed base 213. Therefore, the mounting base 260 needs to be connected to the steam baffle 23.

[0112] Among them, the mounting base 260 includes a first mounting bracket 2601 and a second mounting bracket 2602. The first mounting bracket 2601 and the second mounting bracket 2602 can be connected and cooperated to clamp the steam baffle 23 between the first mounting bracket 2601 and the second mounting bracket 2602, so as to realize the connection and cooperation between the mounting base 260 and the steam baffle 23.

[0113] It should be noted that the connection method between the first mounting bracket 2601 and the second mounting bracket 2602 is various. It can be connected by clamping, or can be fixedly connected by a threaded connector (such as a screw, etc.). Specific limitations are not made here.

[0114] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting bracket 2601 is provided with a handle 2603, and the handle 2603 is arranged on the side of the steam baffle 23 facing the first cooking cavity 212. The user can drive the movement of the mounting base 260 by holding the handle 2603 to disassemble and assemble the mounting base 260.

[0115] It can be understood that during the installation process of the first mounting bracket 2601 and the second mounting bracket 2602, the first mounting bracket 2601 is arranged on one side of the steam baffle 23 (such as below), and the second mounting bracket 2602 is arranged on the other side of the steam baffle 23 (such as above). When the mounting base 260 is connected and cooperated with the fixed base 213, the handle 2603 is located in the first cooking cavity 212 for the user to hold. The user can drive the separation of the mounting base 260 from the fixed base 213 by pulling the handle 2603.

[0116] Such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the machine base 1 is provided with a liquid storage part 11. The liquid storage part 11 is used for storing a liquid medium, and the liquid medium can be used to cooperate with the steam generating device 4 to generate steam. The liquid medium can be water.

[0117] Among them, the steam generating device 4 includes a heat concentrating shell 12 and a heating element 41. The heat concentrating shell 12 forms a steam generating cavity 123, and the steam generating cavity 123 communicates with the liquid storage part 11. The liquid medium in the liquid storage part 11 can flow into the steam generating cavity 123. The heating element 41 is arranged at the bottom of the steam generating cavity 123, and the heating element 41 is used to heat the liquid medium entering the steam generating cavity 123 to convert the liquid medium into steam. Thus, steam can be generated by the steam generating device 4.

[0118] It should be noted that the heating element 41 is correspondingly arranged with the steam generating cavity 123. During the process of generating steam, the heating element 41 can heat the liquid medium entering the steam generating cavity 123, and the heating method is more targeted, which can improve the efficiency of generating steam.

[0119] Furthermore, the water in the steam generating cavity 123 can boil quickly and generate steam. After the water evaporates, the water in the liquid storage part 11 is supplemented through the liquid inlet 121 at the bottom of the heat concentrating shell 12. The steam moves inside the heat concentrating shell and outputs the steam.

[0120] As Figure 2 shown, it can be understood that the machine base 1 includes a housing 14, and the liquid storage part 11 can be configured as a water tank, and the water tank has the function of storing the liquid medium. Among them, the water tank can be integrally formed with the housing 14 (that is, the water tank is integrated on the housing 14), and the water tank can also be configured as a component independent of the housing 14. Referring to Figure 4 , the water tank is a component independent of the housing 14, and the water tank can be arranged in the housing 14 by means of lapping or the like to form a liquid storage structure in the housing 14.

[0121] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the heat concentrating shell 12 is provided with a liquid inlet 121, the liquid inlet 121 is arranged adjacent to the bottom wall of the water tank, and the liquid inlet 121 is used for the liquid medium in the water tank to flow into the steam generating cavity 123. The arrangement position of the liquid inlet 121 is adjacent to the heating element 41, so that the liquid medium entering the steam generating cavity 123 can be fully heated by the heating element 41.

[0122] Among them, the heat concentrating shell 12 communicates with the liquid storage part 11 through the liquid inlet 121. The liquid medium stored in the liquid storage part 11 can flow into the steam generating cavity 123 through the liquid inlet 121, and the heating element 41 is arranged at the bottom of the steam generating cavity 123. When the liquid medium flows into the steam generating cavity 123 from the bottom of the heat concentrating shell 12, the liquid medium can be quickly heated by the heating element 41 to generate steam.

[0123] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4, the steam generating cavity 123 formed by the energy concentrating shell 12 is arranged with an open bottom, and the heating element 41 is arranged at the open end of the steam generating cavity 123. When the liquid medium flows into the steam generating cavity 123, it can be quickly heated by the heating element 41.

[0124] Referring to Figure 4 , in the present application, the heating element 41 can be configured as a heating plate, and the heating plate has an open structure. After the energy concentrating shell 12 is taken out, the heating plate can be exposed, which is convenient for cleaning the scale on the surface of the heating plate. Among them, the heating element 41 can be configured as a heating tube, a PTC heating element, a PI heater, or other components with a heating function, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0125] Referring to Figure 2 , the steam generating cavity 123 is arranged in a U shape, and the open side of the U shape faces upward, and the bottom of the U shape is arranged with an open bottom toward the heating element 41. When the liquid medium is heated to form steam, the steam can be transported upward.

[0126] Furthermore, the energy concentrating shell 12 is further provided with a conveying cavity 124 communicating with the steam generating cavity 123, and the conveying cavity 124 is arranged at the top of the steam generating cavity 123. The steam in the steam generating cavity 123 can flow into the conveying cavity 124, and after being collected in the conveying cavity 124, it is further transported through the conveying cavity 124.

[0127] Referring to Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the energy concentrating shell 12 includes: a shell main body 125 and a cover body 126. The shell main body 125 is provided with a steam generating cavity 123 and a conveying cavity 124. The steam generating cavity 123 and the conveying cavity 124 are separated by a partition plate 128, and a communication hole 1281 is provided on the partition plate 128 for communicating the steam generating cavity 123 and the conveying cavity 124. The cover body 126 is covered on the shell main body 125 and defines the conveying cavity 124 with the shell main body 125.

[0128] Among them, the setting of the baffle can play a role in restricting the flow of steam in the energy concentrating shell 12, so that after the steam enters the conveying cavity 124, it can flow toward the steam outlet 122 side, and it can prevent the gas from flowing back into the steam generating cavity 123.

[0129] Such as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the energy concentrating shell 12 is further provided with a sealing ring 127. The sealing ring 127 is arranged inside the energy concentrating shell 12 and is used to seal the shell main body 125 and the cover body 126 to prevent steam from escaping between the shell main body 125 and the cover body 126.

[0130] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the energy - concentrating shell 12 is disposed within the liquid - storage portion 11, thereby saving the volume of the machine base 1 and making the structure between components compact.

[0131] Further, referring to Figure 4 , the steam - generating device 4 further includes a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is used to connect with the liquid - storage portion 11 and is used to mount the heating element 41. Among them, the energy - concentrating shell 12 is disposed within the liquid - storage portion 11, and the heating element 41 needs to be arranged below the energy - concentrating shell 12 to heat the liquid medium in the steam - generating cavity 123. Therefore, the heating element 41 can be mounted at the bottom of the liquid - storage portion 11 through the mounting bracket to facilitate the cooperation between the heating element 41 and the energy - concentrating shell 12.

[0132] Among them, the bottom wall of the liquid - storage portion 11 may be formed with a mounting groove 263. The mounting groove 263 can provide clearance for the heating element 41, and the mounting bracket is connected to the bottom wall of the liquid - storage portion 11 to fix the heating element 41 within the mounting groove 263 through the mounting bracket, and the heating element 41 and the energy - concentrating shell 12 are oppositely arranged in the vertical direction.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, the steam - generating device 4 further includes a sealing member 43. The sealing member 43 is disposed between the heating element 41 and the liquid - storage portion 11 to form a sealing structure, improving the sealing performance of the installation area of the heating element 41 and preventing the leakage of the liquid medium.

[0134] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the energy - concentrating shell 12 is provided with a steam outlet 122. The steam outlet 122 is communicated with the conveying cavity 124, and the energy - concentrating shell 12 can output steam outward through the steam outlet 122.

[0135] Further, the steam - generating device 4 further includes a steam pipe 13. The steam pipe 13 is connected between the steam outlet 122 and the steam - conveying portion 101. The steam discharged through the steam outlet 122 can be conveyed to the side of the steam - conveying portion 101 through the steam pipe 13.

[0136] Referring to Figure 2 , the steam - conveying portion 101 is disposed at the top of the machine base 1, and the steam - generating device 4 is disposed within the machine base 1 and below the pot assembly 2. The steam - generating device 4 and the steam - conveying portion 101 can be connected through the steam pipe 13, and steam can be output through the top of the machine base 1.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, a heating element 44 is provided within the machine base 1. The heating element 44 is disposed on the steam pipe 13, and the heating element 44 is used to heat the steam in the steam pipe 13 to further increase the temperature of the steam, so as to convey steam with a higher temperature to the side of the pot assembly 2.

[0138] Referring to Figure 2, the steam delivery path in the steam cooking device 100 is as follows: Steam is generated in the steam generation chamber 123 and enters the delivery chamber 124 from the steam generation chamber 123. The delivery chamber 124 outputs steam through the steam outlet 122, causing the steam to flow into the gas delivery pipe 13. The steam is transported through the delivery pipe to the steam delivery unit 101 and further delivered to the pot assembly 2 through the steam delivery unit 101.

[0139] Among them, the liquid medium is heated by the heating element 41 after entering the steam generation chamber 123 to generate steam. During the transportation of the steam, the temperature of the steam will gradually decrease, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the steam output by the steam delivery unit 101. By heating with the heating element 44, the temperature of the steam in the gas delivery pipe 13 can be further increased.

[0140] It can be understood that the liquid medium enters the steam generation chamber 123 and is heated by the heating element 41 to form steam. When the temperature of the liquid medium reaches 100 °C and continues to absorb heat, it can be converted into steam and further delivered to the gas delivery pipe 13. By reheating the steam in the gas delivery pipe 13 with the heating element 44, the temperature of the steam can be further increased.

[0141] Among them, a temperature sensor can be provided at the heating element 44, and the temperature sensor can be used to detect the steam temperature in the gas delivery pipe 13. Thus, the heating power of the heating element 44 can be adjusted according to the steam temperature to control the temperature of the steam delivered to the steam delivery unit 101.

[0142] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the steam cooking device 100 further includes a gas guiding valve assembly 3. The gas guiding valve assembly 3 is provided with a gas guiding channel 301, and the gas guiding channel 301 is used to connect the steam joint 201 with the steam delivery unit 101.

[0143] It can be understood that the base 1 is provided with a steam delivery unit 101 and outputs steam through the steam delivery unit 101. The pot assembly 2 is provided with a joint, and the steam joint 201 is used for steam to flow in. In the present application, by providing a gas guiding valve assembly 3 independent of the base 1 and the pot assembly 2, the steam delivery unit 101 is connected to the steam joint 201 through the gas guiding valve assembly 3 to guide the steam output by the steam delivery unit 101 to the side of the steam joint 201.

[0144] Furthermore, the gas guiding valve assembly 3 is detachably installed on the pot assembly 2 and the base 1, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the gas guiding valve assembly 3. Among them, the gas guiding valve assembly 3 can be installed on the pot assembly 2 and the base 1 by means of top-down plugging, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the gas guiding valve assembly 3.

[0145] In some embodiments of the present application, the guiding valve assembly includes: a first bracket 311, a second bracket 312, and a guide air pipe 32. The first bracket 311 forms a receiving groove 3111 for installing the guide air pipe 32. The second bracket 312 is provided at the open end of the receiving groove 3111 and is connected to the first bracket 311. The open end of the receiving groove 3111 can be blocked by the second bracket 312 to prevent the guide air pipe 32 arranged in the receiving groove 3111 from being exposed, thereby improving the use safety of the guiding valve assembly 3.

[0146] It can be understood that the guide air pipe 32 is used for high-temperature steam to pass through, resulting in a relatively high temperature at the guide air pipe 32. If the guide air pipe 32 is exposed, there will be a risk that users may be scalded by the guide air pipe 32, presenting a safety hazard.

[0147] Through the cooperation of the first bracket 311 and the second bracket 312, an installation cavity for installing the guide air pipe 32 can be formed. The guide air pipe 32 is accommodated in the installation cavity, and both ends of the guide air pipe 32 can pass through the lower surface of the first bracket 311 to facilitate the insertion and mating of the guide air pipe 32 with the steam delivery part 101 and the steam joint 201. Among them, the steam delivery part 101 and the steam joint 201 can be respectively inserted into both ends of the guide air pipe 32 to communicate with the air guiding channel 301.
