Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Most current desktop microwave ovens or microwave-grill combination ovens do not have a humidification function. This has little impact on foods that are not sensitive to moisture content, but it can cause significant dehydration in most foods, affecting their texture and taste. To alleviate the dryness caused by microwaving, consumers have taken measures such as sprinkling water on hot food, using plastic covers, or placing a small dish of water inside. However, these measures often cause considerable inconvenience during use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a cooking device, comprising: a housing, the housing having a cooking chamber and a water inlet, the water inlet being connected to the cooking chamber; and a water supply assembly disposed on the housing, the water supply assembly including a water storage component, a press pump and a nozzle assembly, the water storage component having a water storage chamber, a first end of the press pump being connected to the water storage chamber, the other end of the press pump being connected to the nozzle assembly, at least a portion of the nozzle assembly passing through the water inlet, and when the water storage component is pressed, water in the water storage chamber flowing to the nozzle assembly through the press pump.

[0005] The water replenishment component is located on the housing and is used to replenish water into the cooking cavity, thereby increasing the moisture content of the food surface.

[0006] In this solution, the water replenishment component includes a water storage unit, a press pump, and a nozzle assembly. The water storage unit is equipped with a water storage chamber, and part of the press pump is installed in the water storage chamber. When the water storage unit is pressed, the volume of the water storage chamber changes, thereby changing the air pressure in the water storage chamber. The air pressure change causes the water in the water storage chamber to flow into the press pump. The press pump is also connected to the nozzle assembly. The water flowing into the press pump flows to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly passes through the water inlet, so that the nozzle assembly can spray water towards the food in the cooking room, thereby realizing the function of moisturizing the food.

[0007] Before or during cooking, users can add water to the food by pressing the water reservoir, which can prevent the food from being dehydrated and affecting its taste. It also eliminates the need for measures such as using a plastic cover or placing a small dish of water, thus improving the convenience of adding water to the food.

[0008] By using a water storage unit and a press pump together, users can easily add water to food with a simple press. Compared with structures such as steam generators or water pumps, the water replenishment component in this solution has the advantages of simple structure, small size, low cost and small space occupation.

[0009] In addition, the cooking device according to the above-described technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] In some technical solutions, the water storage chamber can optionally be opened or closed to replenish water into the water storage chamber.

[0011] After the water replenishment component adds water to the cooking cavity, the water level in the storage cavity decreases. Users can add water to the storage cavity by opening it. The storage component can be reused without requiring users to replace it, which helps reduce user costs.

[0012] In one possible application, one part of the water storage unit can move relative to another part, or one part of the water storage unit can be separated from another part, thereby opening the water storage chamber.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water storage component includes: a bottle cap; a bottle body detachably connected to the bottle cap, a water storage cavity being provided between the bottle body and the bottle cap, and the bottle body having a bottle mouth facing the shell.

[0014] The bottle body can be separated from the cap, and the bottle body has an opening that allows users to fill the bottle with water. Because the opening faces the shell, the bottle body is assembled with the cap upside down, and users can press the bottom of the bottle to change the volume of the liquid storage chamber.

[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, a bottle bottom is provided on the side of the bottle body away from the shell, the bottle bottom is positioned opposite the bottle mouth, and the bottle cap and bottle body are cut along a direction parallel to the bottle bottom. The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle bottom is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle cap. When the bottle bottom is pressed, the volume of the water storage cavity changes.

[0016] Since the bottle body in this solution is connected to the cap in an inverted manner, when the food needs to be hydrated, the user can press the bottom of the bottle to squeeze the water inside the storage chamber into the pump.

[0017] The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle bottom is larger than that of the bottle cap. Therefore, the bottle bottom has a larger surface area. When the user presses the bottle bottom, there is a larger contact area between the user's hand and the bottle bottom, which helps to improve the user's comfort when pressing the bottle bottom. In addition, with a larger surface area, the bottle bottom is more likely to deform when pressed, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottle cap is provided with a first threaded portion, the bottle body is provided with a second threaded portion, the first threaded portion and the second threaded portion are connected, along a first direction, the length of the first threaded portion is L1, the length of the second threaded portion is L2, the length of the bottle body is L3, L1>0.25×L3, L2>0.25×L3, and the first direction is perpendicular to the bottom of the bottle.

[0019] Both the bottle cap and the bottle body are provided with threaded parts, and the bottle body and the bottle cap are connected to each other by the threads, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the bottle body and the bottle cap.

[0020] Specifically, the thread on the bottle cap is designated as the first threaded portion, and the thread on the bottle body is designated as the second threaded portion. The direction perpendicular to the bottom of the bottle is designated as the first direction, which is the height direction of the water storage component. In the first direction, the length of the first threaded portion is L1, the length of the second threaded portion is L2, and the overall length of the bottle body is L3. If L1 > 0.25 × L3 and L2 > 0.25 × L3, it indicates that the lengths of the first and second threaded portions are relatively large, and they have a large mating length. When the first and second threaded portions are screwed together, they can achieve a self-sealing function. That is, no additional sealing element is needed between the bottle cap and the bottle body to achieve a seal, which simplifies the structure of the water storage component and ensures the sealing effect of the water storage cavity.

[0021] In some technical solutions, the water replenishment component can optionally be detachably mounted on the housing.

[0022] The water replenishment component can be installed on the housing, or it can be detached from the housing. When the component is detached, the user can replenish the water reservoir without leaking water onto the housing, reducing cleaning work and improving convenience. Furthermore, the detached component allows for easy cleaning, such as cleaning the water reservoir and the nozzle assembly, ensuring cleanliness and preventing contamination of the water, thus protecting food hygiene after replenishment.

[0023] In some technical solutions, the cooking device may optionally include: a support connected to the housing, and a water supply component detachably disposed on the support, the support being used to circumferentially limit the water supply component.

[0024] A support is provided on the housing, and the water replenishment component is installed on the housing through the support. The water replenishment component can be separated from the support, which makes it easy to replenish water and clean the water replenishment component.

[0025] To secure the water replenishment component, a structure compatible with the component needs to be installed on the mounting structure. In this solution, a support is installed on the housing, thus eliminating the need for a corresponding mounting structure on the housing and reducing the difficulty of machining the housing.

[0026] The support can circumferentially limit the water supply component. After the water supply component is installed, it will not rotate circumferentially, thus ensuring a fixed installation angle. Under the fixed installation angle, the direction of the water outlet of the nozzle component is also fixed, thus ensuring that the nozzle component can spray water in a specified direction. The specified spray direction can make the water spray stably onto the food.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the support is provided with a first limiting groove, the water storage component is provided with a first limiting part, the first limiting part is inserted into the first limiting groove, and the first limiting groove restricts the first limiting part from rotating circumferentially along the water replenishment component.

[0028] The support has a first limiting groove, and the water storage component has a first limiting part. After the water supply component is installed, the first limiting part is inserted into the first limiting groove. The first limiting groove limits the first limiting part, so that the water supply component cannot rotate in the circumferential direction, ensuring that the installation position of the water supply component is accurate.

[0029] In one possible application, the water replenishment component and the support are connected by plugging and unplugging. The first limiting groove extends along the first direction, and the first limiting part can move along the first limiting groove during the plugging and unplugging of the water replenishment component.

[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water storage component is used for circumferential positioning with the nozzle assembly.

[0031] The nozzle assembly is connected to the press pump. To prevent the nozzle assembly from deflecting relative to the press pump, a limiting structure is set between the water storage unit and the nozzle assembly. This allows the water storage unit to circumferentially limit the nozzle assembly, ensuring that the nozzle assembly does not rotate relative to the press pump. The orientation of the nozzle assembly is fixed, thus ensuring that the nozzle assembly can spray water in a specified direction. The specified spray direction allows water to be sprayed stably onto the food.

[0032] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water storage component is provided with a second limiting groove, and the nozzle assembly is provided with a second limiting part, the second limiting part being inserted into the second limiting groove.

[0033] The nozzle assembly has a second limiting part machined on it, and the water storage component has a second limiting groove machined on it. When the nozzle assembly is connected to the press pump, the second limiting part is inserted into the second limiting groove. The second limiting groove limits the second limiting part, so that the nozzle assembly cannot rotate in the circumferential direction, and the orientation position of the nozzle assembly is fixed.

[0034] In some technical solutions, the housing may optionally include: a cavity assembly having a cooking cavity and a water inlet; and an outer cover having the cavity assembly located inside the outer cover, the outer cover having an installation opening for the water inlet assembly to pass through, so that a portion of the water storage component extends out of the outer cover.

[0035] The cavity assembly has a cooking chamber inside, and an installation port is provided on the cavity wall of the cavity assembly. A part of the nozzle assembly passes through the installation port, so that water can be added into the cooking chamber.

[0036] The cavity assembly is located inside the outer casing. The space between the cavity assembly and the outer casing is used to install electronic components and other structures. A portion of the water replenishment assembly is located between the cavity assembly and the outer casing. The outer casing has a mounting port through which a portion of the water replenishment assembly can pass, allowing it to extend beyond the outer casing. This extended portion facilitates pressing and disassembly of the water replenishment assembly, improving user convenience.

[0037] In some technical solutions, the cavity assembly may optionally include a top plate, with the water inlet located on the top plate.

[0038] The water inlet is located on the top plate, so the water inlet component is also located on top of the cavity component. That is, the water inlet component is located between the top plate and the outer cover. The water inlet component can extend out of the outer cover from the top of the outer cover. Users can press the water storage component from above the cooking device for convenient use.

[0039] If the water inlet is located on the side of the cavity assembly, and the water inlet extends out of the outer cover through the side of the outer cover, the cooking device will be pushed laterally when the user presses the pressing part, and the user will need to hold the cooking device in place, which will cause inconvenience to the user in using the cooking device.

[0040] In some technical solutions, the top plate may optionally include a first plate and a second plate, the second plate being distributed circumferentially along the first plate, the distance between the first plate and the outer cover being smaller than the distance between the second plate and the outer cover, and at least a portion of the water replenishment component being located between the outer cover and the second plate.

[0041] The first plate and the second plate are connected, and the second plate is located around the first plate. Therefore, the first plate is the central structure of the top plate, and the second plate is the edge structure of the top plate.

[0042] The distance between the first plate and the outer cover is small, while the distance between the second plate and the outer cover is large. Therefore, the first plate has a greater height. When food is placed in the cooking cavity, the first plate can make way for taller food, allowing larger food items to be placed in the cooking cavity.

[0043] The larger distance between the second plate and the outer cover allows for space to be provided for installing electrical components.

[0044] The water replenishment component is positioned between the second plate and the outer cover, allowing most of the structure of the water replenishment component to be accommodated between the second plate and the outer cover. This prevents the water replenishment component from extending too far out of the outer cover, thus avoiding interference between the water replenishment component extending out of the outer cover and other structures.

[0045] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cavity assembly includes multiple side plates, wherein the side plate with the smallest distance from the water replenishment assembly is designated as the first side plate; the nozzle assembly includes a nozzle, which is inclined in a direction away from the first side plate.

[0046] The water replenishment component is located between the second plate and the outer cover. Therefore, the water replenishment component is close to the side edge of the cavity assembly. In the cavity assembly, the side plate with the smallest distance from the water replenishment component is the first side plate. The nozzle is tilted away from the first side plate, so the nozzle can spray water towards the center of the cooking cavity, improving the uniformity of water replenishment to the food.

[0047] In some technical solutions, the second plate may optionally include a bent portion, which is inclined relative to the first plate, and the water inlet is located on the bent portion.

[0048] The bend is inclined relative to the first plate. When the water inlet is located on the bend, the water inlet is an inclined opening structure. The water inlet can be matched with the inclined part in the nozzle assembly to facilitate the installation of the nozzle assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0063] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0064] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0065] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 A cooking apparatus provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0066] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a cooking device 100 is provided, including: a housing 110 and a water supply assembly 120. The housing 110 is provided with a cooking chamber 111 and a water supply port 112, and the water supply port 112 is connected to the cooking chamber 111. The water supply assembly 120 is disposed on the housing 110 and includes a water storage component 121, a press pump 122 and a nozzle assembly 123. The water storage component 121 is provided with a water storage chamber 1211. A first end of the press pump 122 is connected to the water storage chamber 1211, and the other end of the press pump 122 is connected to the nozzle assembly 123. At least a portion of the nozzle assembly 123 passes through the water supply port 112. When the water storage component 121 is pressed, water in the water storage chamber 1211 flows to the nozzle assembly 123 through the press pump 122.

[0067] A water replenishment component 120 is disposed on the housing 110. The water replenishment component 120 is used to replenish water into the cooking cavity 111, thereby increasing the moisture content of the food surface.

[0068] In this solution, the water replenishment component 120 includes a water storage component 121, a press pump 122, and a nozzle assembly 123. The water storage component 121 is provided with a water storage chamber 1211. A part of the press pump 122 is installed in the water storage chamber 1211. When the water storage component 121 is pressed, the volume of the water storage chamber 1211 will change, thereby changing the air pressure in the water storage chamber 1211. The air pressure change causes the water in the water storage chamber 1211 to flow into the press pump 122. The press pump 122 is also connected to the nozzle assembly 123. The water flowing into the press pump 122 will flow to the nozzle assembly 123. The nozzle assembly 123 passes through the water inlet 112, so that the nozzle assembly 123 can spray water towards the food in the cooking room, thereby realizing the function of moisturizing the food.

[0069] Before or during cooking, users can add water to the food by pressing the water reservoir 121, which can prevent the food from being dehydrated and affecting its taste. It also eliminates the need for measures such as using a plastic cover or placing a small dish of water, thus improving the convenience of adding water to the food.

[0070] By using the water storage component 121 and the press pump 122 together, users can replenish water to food with a simple press. Compared with structures such as steam generators or water pumps, the water replenishment component 120 in this solution has the advantages of simple structure, small size, low cost and small space occupation.

[0071] The cooking device 100 in this embodiment has a manual press-type spray structure, which sprays an appropriate amount of water onto the surface of food that needs to be moistened by pressing. During the heating process, the water penetrates the food, achieving the effect of preventing it from drying out and keeping it moist.

[0072] In some embodiments, the water storage chamber 1211 can be opened or closed to replenish water into the water storage chamber 1211.

[0073] After the water replenishment component 120 replenishes water into the cooking cavity 111, the water volume in the water storage cavity 1211 decreases. Users can replenish water into the water storage cavity 1211 by opening the water storage cavity 1211. The water storage component 121 can be reused without the need for the user to replace it, which helps reduce the user's operating costs.

[0074] In one possible application, a portion of the water storage component 121 may move relative to another portion, or a portion of the water storage component 121 may be separated from another portion, thereby opening the water storage chamber 1211.

[0075] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the water storage component 121 includes: a bottle cap 1212 and a bottle body 1213, the bottle body 1213 is detachably connected to the bottle cap 1212, a water storage cavity 1211 is provided between the bottle body 1213 and the bottle cap 1212, and the bottle body 1213 is provided with a bottle mouth 1214 facing the housing 110.

[0076] The bottle body 1213 can be separated from the bottle cap 1212. The bottle body 1213 is provided with a bottle opening 1214, through which the user can fill the bottle body 1213 with water. Since the bottle opening 1214 faces the housing 110, the bottle body 1213 is assembled with the bottle cap 1212 in an upside-down manner. The user can press the bottom 1215 of the bottle to change the volume of the liquid storage chamber.

[0077] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a bottle bottom 1215 is provided on the side of the bottle body 1213 away from the shell 110. The bottle bottom 1215 is arranged opposite to the bottle mouth 1214. The bottle cap 1212 and the bottle body 1213 are cut along a direction parallel to the bottle bottom 1215. The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle bottom 1215 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle cap 1212. When the bottle bottom 1215 is pressed, the volume in the water storage cavity 1211 changes.

[0078] Since the bottle body 1213 in this solution is connected to the bottle cap 1212 in an upside-down manner, when it is necessary to add water to the food, the user can press the bottom 1215 of the bottle to squeeze the water inside the liquid storage chamber into the press pump 122.

[0079] The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottle bottom 1215 is larger than that of the bottle cap 1212. Therefore, the bottle bottom 1215 has a larger surface area. When the user presses the bottle bottom 1215, the user's hand has a larger contact area with the bottle bottom 1215, which helps to improve the user's comfort when pressing the bottle bottom 1215. In addition, with a larger surface area, the bottle bottom 1215 is more likely to deform when pressed, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0080] In one possible application, the bottle bottom 1215 can be made of a deformable structure, for example, the bottle bottom 1215 can be made of plastic or silicone, or the entire water storage component 121 can be made of plastic or silicone.

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the bottle cap 1212 is provided with a first threaded portion 1216, and the bottle body 1213 is provided with a second threaded portion 1217. The first threaded portion 1216 and the second threaded portion 1217 are connected along a first direction ( Figure 8 (The arrow at H in the middle points to) The length of the first threaded part 1216 is L1, the length of the second threaded part 1217 is L2, the length of the bottle body 1213 is L3, L1>0.25×L3, L2>0.25×L3, and the first direction is perpendicular to the bottom of the bottle 1215.

[0082] Both the bottle cap 1212 and the bottle body 1213 are provided with threaded parts, and the bottle body 1213 and the bottle cap 1212 are connected to each other by threads, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the bottle body 1213 and the bottle cap 1212.

[0083] Specifically, the thread on the bottle cap 1212 is designated as the first threaded portion 1216, and the thread on the bottle body 1213 is designated as the second threaded portion 1217. The direction perpendicular to the bottle bottom 1215 is designated as the first direction, which is the height direction of the water storage component 121. In the first direction, the length of the first threaded portion 1216 is L1, the length of the second threaded portion 1217 is L2, and the overall length of the bottle body 1213 is L3. If L1 > 0.25 × L3 and L2 > 0.25 × L3, it indicates that the lengths of the first threaded portion 1216 and the second threaded portion 1217 are relatively large, and the first threaded portion 1216 and the second threaded portion 1217 have a large mating length. When the first threaded portion 1216 and the second threaded portion 1217 are screwed together, the first threaded portion 1216 and the second threaded portion 1217 can achieve a self-sealing function. That is, no additional sealing element is needed between the bottle cap 1212 and the bottle body 1213 to achieve a seal between the bottle cap 1212 and the bottle body 1213. This simplifies the structure of the water storage component 121 and also ensures the sealing effect of the water storage cavity 1211.

[0084] Of course, in other embodiments, the bottle body 1213 and the bottle cap 1212 can also be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, with a sealing element provided on the snap-fit ​​structure to ensure the sealing between the bottle body 1213 and the bottle cap 1212.

[0085] In some embodiments, the water replenishment component 120 may be detachably disposed on the housing 110.

[0086] The water replenishment component 120 can be installed on the housing 110, or the user can detach the water replenishment component 120 from the housing 110. When the water replenishment component 120 is detached from the housing 110, the user can replenish the water storage component 121, preventing water leakage onto the housing 110 during the replenishment process, reducing the user's cleaning workload on the housing 110, and improving the convenience of the replenishment process. Furthermore, when the water replenishment component 120 is detached from the housing 110, the user can also clean the water replenishment component 120, for example, cleaning the inside of the water storage chamber 1211 and the nozzle assembly 123, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the water replenishment component 120, preventing water contamination, and ensuring that food replenished with water will not have hygiene problems.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device 100 further includes: a support 130, the support 130 being connected to the housing 110, and a water supply component 120 being detachably disposed on the support 130, the support 130 being used to support the water supply component 120 circumferentially ( Figure 6 The arrow at point C points to the circumferential limit of the water replenishment component 120.

[0088] A support 130 is provided on the housing 110. The water replenishment component 120 is installed on the housing 110 through the support 130. The water replenishment component 120 can be separated from the support 130, so that it is convenient to replenish water and clean the water replenishment component 120.

[0089] In order to fix the water replenishment component 120, a structure that is compatible with the water replenishment component 120 needs to be set on the installation structure. In this solution, a support 130 is set on the housing 110, so there is no need to set a corresponding installation structure on the housing 110, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the housing 110.

[0090] The support 130 can circumferentially limit the water supply component 120. After the water supply component 120 is installed, it will not rotate circumferentially, thus ensuring a fixed installation angle for the water supply component 120. Under the fixed installation angle, the orientation of the water outlet end of the nozzle component 123 is also fixed, thus ensuring that the nozzle component 123 can spray water in a specified direction. The specified spray direction can make the water spray stably onto the food.

[0091] In one possible application, the support 130 is fastened to the outer cover 114 by an inverted snap-fit ​​structure.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the support 130 is provided with a first limiting groove 131, and the water storage component 121 is provided with a first limiting part 1218. The first limiting part 1218 is inserted into the first limiting groove 131, and the first limiting groove 131 restricts the first limiting part 1218 from rotating circumferentially along the water replenishment component 120.

[0093] The support 130 has a first limiting groove 131 machined on it, and the water storage component 121 has a first limiting part 1218 machined on it. After the water supply component 120 is installed, the first limiting part 1218 is inserted into the first limiting groove 131. The first limiting groove 131 limits the first limiting part 1218, so that the water supply component 120 cannot rotate in the circumferential direction, thus ensuring that the installation position of the water supply component 120 is accurate.

[0094] The first limiting part 1218 and the first limiting groove 131 cooperate with each other to ensure that the angle of the water storage component 121 when it is placed is consistent with the design angle.

[0095] In one possible application, the water replenishment component 120 is connected to the support 130 by plugging and unplugging. The first limiting groove 131 extends along the first direction. During the plugging and unplugging of the water replenishment component 120, the first limiting part 1218 can move along the first limiting groove 131.

[0096] In some embodiments, the water reservoir 121 is optionally used to circumferentially limit the nozzle assembly 123.

[0097] The nozzle assembly 123 is connected to the press pump 122. To prevent the nozzle assembly 123 from deflecting relative to the press pump 122, a limiting structure is provided between the water storage component 121 and the nozzle assembly 123. This allows the water storage component 121 to circumferentially limit the nozzle assembly 123, ensuring that the nozzle assembly 123 does not rotate relative to the press pump 122. The orientation of the nozzle assembly 123 is fixed, thereby ensuring that the nozzle assembly 123 can spray water in a specified direction. The specified spray direction allows water to be sprayed stably onto the food.

[0098] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the water storage component 121 is provided with a second limiting groove 1219, and the nozzle assembly 123 is provided with a second limiting part 124, which is inserted into the second limiting groove 1219.

[0099] The nozzle assembly 123 has a second limiting part 124 machined on it, and the water storage component 121 has a second limiting groove 1219 machined on it. When the nozzle assembly 123 is connected to the press pump 122, the second limiting part 124 is inserted into the second limiting groove 1219. The second limiting groove 1219 limits the second limiting part 124, so that the nozzle assembly 123 cannot rotate in the circumferential direction, and the orientation position of the nozzle assembly 123 is fixed.

[0100] The second limiting part 124 and the second limiting groove 1219 cooperate with each other to ensure that the angle of the nozzle assembly 123 meets the design requirements and the spraying range and uniformity are better.

[0101] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the housing 110 includes a cavity assembly 113 and an outer cover 114. The cavity assembly 113 is provided with a cooking cavity 111 and a water inlet 112. The cavity assembly 113 is located inside the outer cover 114, which is provided with a mounting opening 115 for the water supply assembly 120 to pass through, so that a portion of the water storage component 121 extends out of the outer cover 114.

[0102] The cavity assembly 113 has a cooking cavity 111 inside. An installation port 115 is provided on the cavity wall of the cavity assembly 113. A part of the nozzle assembly 123 passes through the installation port 115, so that water can be added to the cooking cavity 111.

[0103] The cavity assembly 113 is located inside the outer cover 114. The space between the cavity assembly 113 and the outer cover 114 is used to install electronic components and other structures. A portion of the water replenishment assembly 120 is located between the cavity assembly 113 and the outer cover 114. The outer cover 114 is provided with a mounting hole 115, through which a portion of the water replenishment assembly 120 can pass, thereby allowing a portion of the water replenishment assembly 120 to extend out of the outer cover 114. The water replenishment assembly 120 extending out of the outer cover 114 is convenient for the user to press and disassemble, thus improving the user's ease of use of the water replenishment assembly 120.

[0104] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cavity assembly 113 includes a top plate 116, and a water inlet 112 is disposed on the top plate 116.

[0105] The water inlet 112 is located on the top plate 116, so the water supply component 120 is also located on the top of the cavity component 113. That is, the water supply component 120 is located between the top plate 116 and the outer cover 114. The water supply component 120 can extend out of the outer cover 114 from the top of the outer cover 114. The user can press the water storage component 121 from above the cooking device 100 for convenient use.

[0106] If the water inlet 112 is located on the side of the cavity assembly 113, and the water inlet assembly 120 extends out of the outer cover 114 through the side of the outer cover 114, when the user presses the pressing part, the cooking device 100 will be pushed laterally, and the user will need to hold the cooking device 100 against it, which will cause inconvenience to the user in using the cooking device 100.

[0107] The water replenishment component 120 is placed on top of the cooking device 100, making it convenient for users to pick up and replenish water.

[0108] After the water supply assembly 120 is installed, a portion of the nozzle assembly 123 rests on top of the top plate 116.

[0109] When water needs to be added, lift the water-adding component 120 upwards to remove the entire water-adding component 120, unscrew the cap 1212 to complete the water addition, and after water addition is complete, screw the cap 1212 back on and put it back in its original position to continue adding water to the cooking vessel.

[0110] Of course, in other embodiments, the water inlet 112 can also be located on the side of the cavity assembly 113. However, the bottom of the outer cover 114 needs to be designed to prevent the cooking device from moving laterally when the water storage component 121 is pressed.

[0111] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the top plate 116 includes a first plate body 1161 and a second plate body 1162, the second plate body 1162 being circumferentially aligned with the first plate body 1161. Figure 2 (The arrow at point D points to) the distribution, the distance W1 between the first plate 1161 and the outer cover 114 is less than the distance W2 between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114, and at least a portion of the water replenishment component 120 is located between the outer cover 114 and the second plate 1162.

[0112] The first plate 1161 and the second plate 1162 are connected, and the second plate 1162 is located around the first plate 1161. Therefore, the first plate 1161 is the central structure of the top plate 116, and the second plate 1162 is the edge structure of the top plate 116.

[0113] The distance between the first plate 1161 and the outer cover 114 is small, while the distance between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114 is large. Therefore, the first plate 1161 has a greater height. When food is placed in the cooking cavity 111, the first plate 1161 can make way for taller food, so that larger food can be placed in the cooking cavity 111.

[0114] The larger distance between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114 allows for space to be provided between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114 for installing electrical components.

[0115] The water replenishment component 120 is disposed between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114, so that most of the structure of the water replenishment component 120 can be accommodated between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114, avoiding the water replenishment component 120 extending too far out of the outer cover 114, so that the water replenishment component 120 extending out of the outer cover 114 will not interfere with other structures.

[0116] In one possible application, the first plate 1161 and the second plate 1162 are an integral structure.

[0117] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cavity assembly 113 includes a plurality of side plates 117, wherein the side plate 117 with the smallest distance from the water supply assembly 120 is designated as the first side. The nozzle assembly 123 includes a nozzle 125, which is inclined in a direction away from the first side plate 118.

[0118] The water replenishment component 120 is disposed between the second plate 1162 and the outer cover 114. Therefore, the water replenishment component 120 is close to the side edge of the cavity assembly 113. In the cavity assembly 113, the side plate 117 with the smallest distance from the water replenishment component 120 is the first side plate 118. The nozzle 125 is tilted away from the first side plate 118. Therefore, the nozzle 125 can spray water toward the center of the cooking cavity 111, improving the uniformity of water replenishment to the food.

[0119] In one possible application, the nozzle assembly 123 also includes a nozzle 126, on which a nozzle 125 is disposed, and the nozzle 126 is connected to a press pump 122.

[0120] In one possible application, the nozzle 126 and the nozzle 125 are an integral structure, with the nozzle 126 abutting against the top plate 116 and the nozzle 125 being inclined relative to the nozzle 126.

[0121] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the second plate 1162 includes a bent portion 119, which is inclined relative to the first plate 1161, and the water inlet 112 is disposed on the bent portion 119.

[0122] The bending portion 119 is inclined relative to the first plate 1161. When the water inlet 112 is located on the bending portion 119, the water inlet 112 is an inclined opening structure. The water inlet 112 can cooperate with the inclined part in the nozzle assembly 123 to facilitate the installation of the nozzle assembly 123.

[0123] The second plate 1162 also includes a sub-plate 140, which is connected to the bending portion 119. The sub-plate 140 extends in the same direction as the first plate 1161 and is used to support the nozzle assembly 123.

[0124] Through the settings in the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a manual humidification structure that can be applied to the humidification needs of desktop microwave ovens. It is easy to disassemble and carry, solving the current problem of humidification in desktop microwave ovens. The entire humidification device of this solution has a low cost, is modular and suitable for use in different models.
