Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a steam generator and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] The steam generator is a key component in cooking appliances such as microwave ovens and microwave-steam ovens. It heats water to produce steam, cooking food and preserving nutrients and enhancing the taste. However, water quality in most regions is currently poor, containing large amounts of mineral ions. These ions concentrate and precipitate when heated, forming scale within the steam generator. This thickening reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases energy consumption, and affects steam uniformity and stability, as well as cooking results. Furthermore, steam generators have complex structures with numerous internal channels and corners, making scale extremely difficult to clean. Long-term scale accumulation can breed bacteria, threatening food safety. It can also cause steam generator failures, shorten the generator's lifespan, and cause inconvenience and loss to users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a steam generator and a cooking device to solve the problem of scale accumulation in the steam generator in the prior art.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a steam generator comprising:

[0005] The shell has a water inlet on the top;

[0006] The baffle is arranged in the shell and located below the water inlet, and is used to guide the incoming water from the water inlet to disperse to the surroundings and flow down along the inner wall of the shell.

[0007] Beneficial effects: The baffle arranged inside the steam generator plays a shielding role on the one hand, preventing water from boiling inside the shell and bouncing up, splashing onto the upper cover of the shell and overflowing; on the other hand, when water enters the shell from the water inlet, the baffle can guide the water flow from the middle to the surrounding area and flow down along the inner wall of the shell, thereby improving the water flow path, cleaning and flushing the inner wall of the shell, reducing the possibility of scale adhering to and depositing on the inner wall of the shell, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, extending the service life of the steam generator, reducing the failure rate, improving the steam quality and cooking effect, and effectively solving the problem of easy accumulation of scale in steam generators in the prior art.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the baffle is a plate-shaped structure that is high in the middle and low around the edges.

[0009] Beneficial effect: The baffle adopts a design that is high in the middle and low around the edges, which enables the water falling into the baffle from the water inlet to flow rapidly to the surrounding areas along the slope of the baffle under the action of gravity. On the one hand, it increases the flow rate of the water and improves the flushing effect of the incoming water on the inner wall of the shell. On the other hand, it can also effectively avoid the problem of residual water on the baffle.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the baffle comprises:

[0011] The baffle body is in the shape of an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped baffle body protrudes toward the water inlet, and a protruding portion in the middle of the baffle body corresponds to the position of the water inlet.

[0012] Beneficial Effects: The baffle is an arc-shaped plate, making it easy to process and form. The raised portion in the middle of the baffle body corresponds to the position of the water inlet, ensuring that incoming water can diffuse from the highest raised portion in the middle of the baffle body to the surrounding areas and then flow downward from the surrounding areas. This avoids the problem of the highest raised portion in the middle of the baffle body not corresponding to the position of the water inlet, which makes it difficult for water to flow over the raised portion and diffuse in the surrounding areas, resulting in uneven flushing of the inner peripheral wall of the shell, resulting in localized inadequate flushing and dead corners.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the baffle is provided with downwardly inclined drainage folds on the four edges thereof.

[0014] Beneficial effect: By providing the downwardly inclined drainage folds around the baffle, the falling of water flow can be further accelerated, the impact of the water flow can be increased, and the flushing effect on the inner wall of the shell can be improved.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the baffle is fixedly arranged on the inner top of the housing;

[0016] The shape of the baffle plate matches the shape of the cross section of the shell, and a water gap is provided between the periphery of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the shell.

[0017] Beneficial Effects: The baffle is positioned at the top of the inner side of the housing, allowing the inner wall of the housing to be flushed from as high a position as possible, resulting in a larger area of the inner wall being flushed, and a better and more thorough flushing effect. Furthermore, by configuring the baffle to match the cross-sectional shape of the housing, the baffle and the housing are more closely aligned, thereby further facilitating a comprehensive flushing effect on the inner circumference of the housing without blind spots.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the housing includes:

[0019] The water inlet is provided on the upper cover, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper cover and has a set interval between the baffle and the upper cover.

[0020] Beneficial effect: By fixing the baffle to the bottom of the upper cover, on the one hand, it is convenient for assembly, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the baffle to be taken out or placed into the shell together with the upper cover, simplifying the assembly steps. In addition, there is a set interval between the baffle and the upper cover, which can effectively prevent the baffle from being close to the upper cover, blocking the water inlet, and causing poor water inlet.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, a first connecting portion is provided on the baffle, and a second connecting portion is provided on the upper cover, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are screwed or fixed by welding.

[0022] Beneficial Effects: The baffle is fixed to the upper cover by screws or welding, making the baffle more secure and stable, effectively ensuring the stability of the baffle when impacted by water flow. Furthermore, screwing or welding can effectively ensure the airtightness inside the steam generator.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, a water outlet is provided on the bottom wall of the shell, and the bottom wall of the shell is constructed in a convergent shape that gradually slopes downward from all sides toward the water outlet.

[0024] Beneficial Effects: The downward-sloping, convergent design of the bottom wall of the housing allows water on the bottom wall to be gathered and drained smoothly through the outlet, eliminating any residual water and improving drainage efficiency. This effectively prevents scaling on the bottom wall due to long-term water accumulation. Furthermore, the downward-sloping bottom wall increases the flow rate and speeds up water discharge, thereby flushing the bottom wall of the housing and further reducing the possibility of scaling on the bottom wall.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the shell includes a base and an upper cover that are detachably connected, the water inlet is arranged at the center of the upper cover, and the water outlet is arranged at the center of the bottom wall of the base.

[0026] Benefits: The housing features a detachable base and cover, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The water inlet, located in the center of the cover, effectively distributes incoming water and ensures balanced force on the baffle. The water outlet, located in the center of the base, effectively drains away water while maintaining the balance and stability of the entire steam generator.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a cooking device comprising the steam generator of any one of the above embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components.

[0047] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] The following combination Figures 1 to 9 , describing embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, the present invention provides a steam generator 10, including a shell 11 and a baffle 12, a water inlet 101 is provided at the top of the shell 11, and the baffle 12 is arranged in the shell 11 and is located below the water inlet 101, and is used to guide the incoming water to disperse from the water inlet 101 to the surroundings and flow down along the inner wall of the shell 11.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the baffle 12 provided inside the steam generator 10 plays a shielding role on the one hand, preventing the water from boiling inside the shell 11 and bouncing up, splashing onto the upper cover 111 of the shell 11 and overflowing; on the other hand, when water enters the shell 11 from the water inlet 101, the baffle 12 can guide the water flow from the middle to the surrounding area and flow down along the inner wall of the shell 11, thereby improving the water flow path, cleaning and flushing the inner wall of the shell 11, reducing the possibility of scale adhering to and depositing on the inner wall of the shell 11, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, extending the service life of the steam generator 10, reducing the failure rate, improving the steam quality and cooking effect, and effectively solving the problem of easy accumulation of scale in the steam generator 10 in the prior art.

[0051] Specifically, the baffle 12 is positioned horizontally below the water inlet 101. The baffle 12 extends around the inner wall of the housing 11, extending to a position with a predetermined water-passing gap between the baffle 12 and the inner wall of the housing 11. This design ensures that water entering from the water inlet 101 is dispersed along the baffle 12 and flows down the inner wall of the housing 11. The water-passing gap also ensures that generated steam can be discharged through the air outlet 103 at the top of the housing 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, combined Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the baffle 12 is a plate-like structure with a high middle and low surroundings.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the baffle 12 adopts a design that is high in the middle and low around the edges, so that water falling onto the baffle 12 from the water inlet 101 can flow rapidly to the surroundings along the slope of the baffle 12 under the action of gravity. On the one hand, it increases the flow rate of the water flow and improves the flushing effect of the incoming water on the inner wall of the shell 11. On the other hand, it can also effectively avoid the problem of residual water on the baffle 12.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the highest part in the middle of the baffle 12 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 101, thereby ensuring that the incoming water can flow from the highest part in the middle to the surrounding areas, avoiding the highest part in the middle of the baffle 12 not corresponding to the position of the water inlet 101, resulting in the water flow not easily overflowing the highest part, making the flushing effect of the inner wall of the shell 11 uneven, and there are problems of inadequate flushing and dead corners.

[0055] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the baffle 12 may be in an arc shape, or may be in an umbrella shape, a cone shape, or the like.

[0056] In some embodiments, the baffle 12 includes a baffle body 121 in the shape of an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped baffle body 121 protrudes toward the water inlet 101, and the raised portion in the middle of the baffle body 121 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 101.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the baffle 12 is formed into an arcuate plate for easy processing and molding. Furthermore, the raised portion in the center of the baffle body 121 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 101, thereby ensuring that incoming water can diffuse from the highest raised portion in the center of the baffle body 121 to the surrounding areas and then flow downward from the surrounding areas. This avoids the misalignment between the highest raised portion in the center of the baffle 12 and the water inlet 101, which prevents water from easily flowing over the raised portion and diffusing to the surrounding areas, thereby resulting in uneven flushing of the inner peripheral wall of the housing 11 and the possibility of partial inadequate flushing and the presence of dead corners.

[0058] In this embodiment, a baffle 12 is provided inside the shell 11 of the steam generator 10. The baffle 12 has two functions: on the one hand, it can prevent water vapor from splashing onto the upper cover 111 of the shell 11 when boiling inside, thereby achieving a good shielding effect. The generated steam can freely pass through the gap between the baffle 12 and the inner wall of the shell 11, while the water vapor is blocked by the baffle 12, thereby preventing the water vapor from being concentrated and ejected out. For example, when water boils, it boils very violently and will bounce up in a concentrated manner. The baffle 12 can effectively prevent the water vapor from overflowing. On the other hand, the baffle 12 is designed to be arc-shaped. When water enters the shell 11 of the steam generator 10 from the water inlet 101, the water will flow from the middle to the surrounding areas along the shape of the baffle 12, and flow down along the inner wall of the shell 11. This process can clean the shell 11, thereby preventing scale from adhering to the shell 11.

[0059] In some embodiments, the baffle 12 is provided with downwardly inclined drainage folds 122 on the four edges thereof.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the downwardly inclined drainage folds 122 provided around the baffle 12 can further accelerate the falling of the water flow, increase the impact of the water flow, and thus improve the flushing effect on the inner wall of the shell 11.

[0061] Specifically, the drainage fold 122 is an inclined fold extending downward from the perimeter of the baffle 12. The angle α1 between the tangent of the convex vertex of the arcuate baffle body 121 and the horizontal plane is set, and the angle α2 between the drainage fold 122 and the horizontal plane is set, where α1 < α2 < 90°. This angle design ensures that water flows down from all sides with a faster flow rate and greater impact, resulting in a better flushing effect on the housing 11. Furthermore, the angle α2 < 90° can also guide the water flow toward the inner wall of the housing 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, the baffle 12 is fixedly arranged on the inner top of the shell 11; the shape of the baffle 12 matches the shape of the cross section of the shell 11, and there is a water gap between the four sides of the baffle 12 and the inner wall of the shell 11.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the baffle 12 is positioned at the top of the inner side of the housing 11, thereby flushing the inner wall of the housing 11 from as high a position as possible, thereby covering a larger area of the inner wall of the housing 11 and achieving a better and more thorough flushing effect. In addition, by configuring the baffle 12 to have a shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the housing 11, the baffle 12 can be more closely aligned with the housing 11, thereby further facilitating a comprehensive flushing effect on the inner circumference of the housing 11 without blind spots.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 11 includes an upper cover 111 , the water inlet 101 is opened on the upper cover 111 , and the baffle 12 is fixedly connected below the upper cover 111 and has a set interval between it and the upper cover 111 .

[0065] In the above embodiment, by fixing the baffle 12 to the bottom of the upper cover 111, on the one hand, assembly is facilitated, and on the other hand, the baffle 12 is conveniently taken out or placed into the shell 11 together with the upper cover 111, thereby simplifying the assembly steps. Moreover, a set interval is set between the baffle 12 and the upper cover 111, which can effectively prevent the baffle 12 from clinging to the upper cover 111 and blocking the water inlet 101, resulting in poor water inflow.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water inlet 101 is provided on the upper cover 111 and is connected to an external water pipe. The baffle 12 is detachably fixedly connected to the lower side of the upper cover 111 or is non-detachably fixedly connected to the lower side of the upper cover 111 by welding or other means. Specifically, the baffle 12 is provided with a first connecting portion 123, and the upper cover 111 is provided with a second connecting portion 1111. The upper cover 111 and the baffle 12 are connected via the second connecting portion 1111 and the first connecting portion 123. The first connecting portion 123 and the second connecting portion 1111 can be snap-fitted, screwed, or welded.

[0067] In some embodiments, a first connecting portion 123 is provided on the baffle 12 , and a second connecting portion 1111 is provided on the upper cover 111 . The first connecting portion 123 and the second connecting portion 1111 are screwed or fixed to each other by welding.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the baffle 12 is fixed to the upper cover 111 by screwing or welding, which makes the baffle 12 more firmly and stably fixed, and can effectively ensure the stability of the baffle 12 when impacted by water flow. In addition, the screwing or welding fixation can also effectively ensure the airtightness of the steam generator 10.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, the first connecting portion 123 is a first pressure profile that is partially protruding upward of the baffle 12, and the second connecting portion 1111 is a second pressure profile that is partially concave downward of the upper cover 111. The first pressure profile and the second pressure profile are fixed by welding or screwing.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the first connection portion 123 is a connection hole opened on the baffle 12, and the second connection portion 1111 is a bolt column arranged below the upper cover 111. The first connection portion 123 and the second connection portion 1111 are connected by screws.

[0071] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are multiple first connection parts 123, and the multiple first connection parts 123 are arranged at intervals on the baffle 12. There are multiple corresponding second connection parts 1111, and the multiple first connection parts 123 and the multiple second connection parts 1111 are connected one by one. Such a design can further improve the stability of the baffle 12 structure.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figures 7 to 9 As shown, a water outlet 102 is provided on the bottom wall of the shell 11 , and the bottom wall of the shell 11 is constructed in a convergent shape that gradually slopes downward from all sides toward the water outlet 102 .

[0073] In the above embodiment, the bottom wall of the housing 11 adopts a downwardly inclined, convergent design, which allows water on the bottom wall of the housing 11 to be gathered and smoothly drained through the water outlet 102, eliminating any residual water and improving drainage efficiency. This effectively prevents the problem of scale formation on the bottom wall of the housing 11 due to long-term residual water. In addition, the downwardly inclined bottom wall can also increase the flow rate of water and accelerate the discharge of water, thereby flushing the bottom wall of the housing 11 and further reducing the possibility of scale adhering to the bottom wall of the housing 11.

[0074] Specifically, the water outlet 102 is provided at the center of the bottom wall, and the bottom wall of the housing 11 is inclined inward from the periphery toward the center, so that water gathers in the center and is discharged from the water outlet 102 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the shell 11 includes a detachably connected base 112 and an upper cover 111 , the water outlet 102 is arranged at the center of the bottom wall of the base 112 , and the water inlet 101 is arranged at the center of the upper cover 111 .

[0076] In the above embodiment, the housing 11 utilizes a detachably connected base 112 and upper cover 111, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the housing 11. By locating the water inlet 101 at the center of the upper cover 111, it effectively ensures that incoming water is evenly distributed throughout the surrounding area, while also ensuring balanced force on the baffle 12. By locating the water outlet 102 at the center of the base 112, it effectively ensures drainage and maintains the balance and stability of the entire steam generator 10.

[0077] Specifically, the base 112 and the upper cover 111 are connected by screws. The base 112 and the upper cover 111 are provided with multiple sets of screw connection parts corresponding to each other along the circumference. The base 112 and the upper cover 111 are connected and fixed by connecting the multiple sets of screw connection parts in a one-to-one correspondence using multiple screws. Optionally, a sealing ring 18 is further provided between the base 112 and the upper cover 111. Specifically, an annular sealing groove is provided on the upper end surface of the base 112, and an annular connecting edge is provided on the outer periphery of the upper cover 111. The sealing ring 18 is embedded in the annular sealing groove. After the base 112 and the upper cover 111 are connected, the annular connecting edge presses against the top of the sealing ring 18 to form a seal.

[0078] Furthermore, the base 112 includes a base bottom wall 1122 and a base peripheral wall 1121. The water outlet 102 is arranged at the center of the base bottom wall 1122. The baffle 12 can divert the incoming water to the base peripheral wall 1121 to flush the base peripheral wall 1121. An annular sealing groove is provided on the upper end surface of the base peripheral wall 1121. A water inlet butt joint 13 is provided at the water inlet 101, and a water outlet butt joint 13 is provided at the water outlet 102. The upper cover 111 is also provided with an air outlet 103, and an air outlet butt joint 14 is provided at the air outlet 103. The water inlet butt joint 13 and the air outlet butt joint 14 are connected to the upper cover 111 by welding, or are integrally formed with the upper cover 111, and the water outlet butt joint 13 is connected to the base 112 by welding, or are integrally formed with the base 112.

[0079] In some embodiments, the shell 11 is a rectangular box structure, and the baffle 12 corresponds to a strip plate. The baffle 12 has a baffle body 121 and a drainage fold 122 arranged around the baffle body 121. The longitudinal cross-section of the baffle body 121 is arc-shaped, and the drainage fold 122 is inclined downward. Preferably, the drainage fold 122 is an inclined straight edge.

[0080] In this embodiment, the steam generator 10 further includes a sensor 16 , a dry-burning tube 15 , and a thermal cutoff 17 . The sensor 16 , the dry-burning tube 15 , and the thermal cutoff 17 are all mounted on the bottom of the base 112 .

[0081] The main improvements and advantages of the steam generator 10 provided in this application are as follows:

[0082] 1) The added baffle 12 can play a shielding role, preventing the water from splashing onto the upper cover 111 when boiling at high temperature;

[0083] 2) The added baffle 12 can divert the incoming water to the inner peripheral wall of the housing 11, thereby flushing the peripheral wall of the base 112 and reducing scale;

[0084] 3) The bottom wall of the base 112 is configured to be gradually inclined from all sides toward the water outlet 102 to collect water for discharge, thereby preventing scale from being generated due to water accumulation after long-term use.

[0085] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking device is provided, comprising the steam generator 10 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0086] Specifically, the steam generator 10 is installed in the cooking device via the bracket 20. Specifically, the steam generator 10 can be fixed to the bracket 20 by screws, snap connections, sliding connections, etc., and then the bracket 20 is installed and fixed in a set position in the cooking device. Optionally, the bracket 20 is fixed in the cooking device by screws.

[0087] It should be noted that the cooking equipment in this embodiment includes but is not limited to an oven, a microwave oven, a microwave oven, and an air fryer.
