Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, in particular to cooking equipment. Background Art
[0002] An electric steamer is a kitchen appliance that converts water into high-temperature steam through a steam generator such as an evaporating plate to steam-cook food. It can quickly steam rice, steam vegetables, and heat meals. It has many advantages such as large capacity, precise temperature control, and intelligent operation.
[0003] In order to meet the cooking needs of large-volume food, existing steamers or steam-oven ovens are generally single-cavity with a single steam generator structure.

At the same time, when cooking small-volume food, due to the large cavity, the evaporation efficiency is low, which affects the taste of the food and causes energy waste. For a variety of ingredients with different cooking needs, some ingredients require a large amount of steam to be steamed quickly, while some ingredients require a small amount of steam to be steamed slowly. They cannot be cooked at the same time in the same cavity, and the cooking operation is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0032] Embodiment 1
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a cooking device, which includes a box 1, at least one partition plate 2 and an evaporator assembly 3. The cooking device includes but is not limited to a steamer, a steam oven, etc. The box 1 has a cooking cavity 10, and the cooking cavity 10 is used to accommodate the food to be cooked. The evaporator assembly 3 includes a plurality of steam generators 31, and the steam generators 31 are used to provide steam to the cooking cavity 10, and steam the food by high-temperature steam. The plurality of steam generators 31 work independently of each other. The partition plate 2 is detachably connected to the box 1 to divide the cooking cavity 10 into a plurality of mutually isolated partition chambers 101, and the plurality of steam generators 31 correspond to the plurality of partition chambers 101 one by one. When cooking a large volume of food, the partition plate 2 is not installed in the box 1, and the plurality of steam generators 31 simultaneously provide steam to the cooking cavity 10, so as to achieve instantaneous and uniform distribution of steam, high evaporation efficiency, and improve cooking convenience. When it is necessary to cook small-volume ingredients, a partition plate 2 is installed in the box body 1 to divide the cooking chamber 10 into a plurality of mutually isolated partition chambers 101. Only one of the partition chambers 101 can be used. Each partition chamber 101 has a corresponding steam generator 31. Since the volume of the partition chamber 101 is relatively small, the steam generator 31 can achieve instantaneous and uniform distribution of steam in the chamber, with high evaporation efficiency, improve the taste of food, and avoid energy waste. When it is necessary to perform different cooking processes on a variety of different ingredients, the various ingredients are placed in different partition chambers 101, and the corresponding steam generators 31 provide different cooking processes. The mutually isolated multiple partition chambers 101 avoid the mutual influence of different ingredients. The multiple steam generators 31 are independently operated, which is convenient to use and improves the user experience.
[0034] It should be noted that the plurality of steam generators 31 include two, three or more steam generators, and the number of the steam generators 31 is the same as the number of the formed partition chambers 101 .
[0035] Optionally, the partition plate 2 is arranged horizontally or vertically to separate the cooking chamber 10, and the gas outlets of the multiple steam generators 31 are respectively arranged on the top wall 11 or the bottom wall 12 or the side wall 13 of the box body 1 to correspond to the multiple partition chambers 101. When the partition plate 2 is arranged horizontally, multiple layers of partition chambers 101 can be formed; when the partition plate 2 is arranged vertically, multiple partition chambers 101 arranged horizontally can be formed. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the cooking device is provided with a vertically arranged partition plate 2 to form two partition chambers 101 arranged left and right. In other embodiments, two or more partition plates 2 may be provided; accordingly, the volumes of the multiple partition chambers 101 formed in the same cooking device may be equal or unequal, which is not limited to the drawings of this embodiment.
[0036] In order to improve the flexibility of the partition chamber 101 and the convenience of use, a horizontal partition plate 2 and a vertical partition plate 2 can be provided in the same cooking device. Figure 6 As shown, the partition plate 2 includes a first partition plate 24 arranged upright and a second partition plate 25 arranged horizontally, wherein both ends of the first partition plate 24 are respectively connected to the box body 1, one end of the second partition plate 25 is connected to the first partition plate 24, and the other end is connected to the box body 1, thereby dividing the cooking cavity 10 into three partition cavities 101 with different volumes. Similarly, in other embodiments, multiple partitioning modes can be formed by using multiple different partition plates 2 according to the needs of the use scenario, which is not limited to the drawings of this embodiment.
[0037] It should be noted that, according to the arrangement of the partition plate 2, the steam generator 31 can be set at different positions of the box body 1, and the air outlet of the steam generator 31 can be set on the top wall 11 of the box body 1, or the bottom wall 12 of the box body 1, or the side wall 13 of the box body 1, as long as any partition chamber 101 has a corresponding steam generator 31.
[0038] In one embodiment, a plurality of steam generators 31 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall 12 of the box body 1, and the partition plate 2 is arranged upright and located between two adjacent steam generators 31, thereby forming a plurality of partition chambers 101 arranged horizontally, so that the characteristic of high-temperature steam rising upward can be fully utilized to further improve the uniformity of steam in the partition chamber 101. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The arrows shown in the figure are indicative of the rising of steam.
[0039] Optionally, the side wall 13 of the box body 1 is provided with a plurality of first frames 51, and when the partition plate 2 is arranged upright, a plurality of second frames 52 are provided on both sides of the partition plate 2, and the plurality of second frames 52 on one side of the partition plate 2 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first frames 51 or the plurality of second frames 52 in the same partition cavity 101, and the first frames 51 and the second frames 52 corresponding to each other are located in the same horizontal plane, or the second frames 52 corresponding to each other on the two opposite partition plates 2 are located in the same horizontal plane. That is, when the partition cavity 101 is formed by the side wall 13 of the box body 1 and the partition plate 2, the plurality of first frames 51 on the side wall 13 and the plurality of second frames 52 on one side of the partition plate 2 correspond one-to-one to each other and are located in the same horizontal plane; when the partition cavity 101 is formed by two adjacent partition plates 2, the plurality of second frames 52 on the partition plate 2 and the plurality of second frames 52 on the corresponding other partition plate 2 correspond one-to-one to each other and are located in the same horizontal plane. The first frame 51 and the second frame 52 are used to place the steaming plate 6, so that multi-layer steaming can be achieved in the same partition cavity 101, or the distance between the food and the air outlet of the steam generator 31 can be adjusted according to cooking needs, which is more convenient to use.
[0040] It can be understood that the cooking device is configured with multiple steaming plates 6 of different sizes, which at least meet the setting size requirements of the cooking cavity 10 when the partition plate 2 is not used, and the setting size requirements after the partition cavity 101 is formed by using the partition plate 2; when forming multiple partition cavities 101 of different sizes, more steaming plates 6 of different sizes can be configured to meet the user's selective application needs.
[0041] It should be noted that when the partition plate 2 is arranged horizontally, the second frame 52 does not need to be arranged on the partition plate 2 .
[0042] Optionally, the partition plate 2 includes a main board body 21 and a mounting plate 22 connected to the end of the main board body 21, the mounting plate 22 and the main board body 21 are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the mounting plate 22 abuts against the inner wall of the box body 1. In order to adapt to the high temperature and high humidity environment, the partition plate 2 is preferably made of food-grade stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance. The mounting plate 22 and the main board body 21 are formed perpendicular to each other through sheet metal processing. On the one hand, the mounting plate 22 can improve the structural strength of the main board body 21, and the partition plate 2 is not easy to deform. On the other hand, the mounting plate 22 abuts against the inner wall of the box body 1, which can improve the sealing performance of the partition plate 2 and avoid steam leakage due to gaps between adjacent partition chambers 101.
[0043] In order to improve the convenience of installing the partition plate 2, the cooking device further includes a clamping assembly 4, and the box body 1 and the partition plate 2 are clamped to each other through the clamping assembly 4. The clamping connection is a more convenient connection method, and the disassembly process does not require auxiliary tools such as screwdrivers, which is more convenient to use.
[0044] There are many implementation structures of the snap connection. Specifically, the snap assembly 4 is connected to the box body 1. The snap assembly 4 includes a snap bolt 41 protruding from the inner wall of the box body 1. The partition plate 2 is provided with a snap groove 23. When the partition plate 2 slides in the cooking cavity 10, the snap bolt 41 can be snapped into the snap groove 23. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slot 23 can be opened on the mounting plate 22, and the partition plate 2 can be installed by sliding the partition plate 2 toward the snap assembly 4 in the cooking cavity 10 until the snap bolt 41 snaps into the slot 23. In order to prevent the partition plate 2 from shaking, the diameter of the snap bolt 41 can be equal to the width of the slot 23.
[0045] In order to improve the reliability of the clamping assembly 4, one end of the clamping bolt 41 is threadedly connected to the box body 1, and the other end is provided with a nut 42. The clamping bolt 41 is provided with an elastic member 43, and one end of the elastic member 43 is connected to the nut 42. The nut 42 can prevent the elastic member 43 from being separated from the clamping bolt 41. The clamping bolt 41 can be rotated so that the elastic member 43 is elastically pressed against the partition plate 2, so that the installation of the partition plate 2 is more secure. The nut 42 is provided with a cross groove or a straight groove, which is convenient for screwing the nut 42 with a tool to drive the clamping bolt 41 to rotate. The elastic member 43 can be a spring or a spring sheet, etc., and this embodiment does not make any specific restrictions.
[0046] Since the wall thickness of the box body 1 of the sheet metal structure is limited, the box body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 14, and the clamping assembly 4 also includes a nut 44, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the box body 1, generally located between the box body 1 and the outer box body, and the clamping bolt 41 passes through the mounting hole 14 and is threadedly connected to the nut 44 to fix the position of the clamping bolt 41.
[0047] This arrangement structure of the clamping assembly 4 does not require multiple turns of screwing to achieve the installation of the partition plate 2, and the disassembly and assembly operations are relatively convenient. In order to improve the reliability of the installation of the partition plate 2, the above-mentioned clamping assembly 4 is provided with four groups, and two groups are provided at each end of the partition plate 2, thereby forming a four-corner installation structure to prevent the partition plate 2 from loosening.
[0048] Embodiment 2
[0049] The second embodiment provides a cooking device, which has the same box body 1, at least one partition plate 2 and an evaporator assembly 3 as those in the first embodiment, and a plurality of steam generators 31 are arranged in the box body 1 to improve the evaporation efficiency; the partition plate 2 is detachably connected to the box body 1 so as to divide the cooking cavity 10 into a plurality of mutually isolated partition cavities 101, and the plurality of steam generators 31 correspond one to one to the plurality of partition cavities 101.
[0050] The difference of this embodiment is that a slide groove is provided in the box body 1, and the partition plate 2 can be slidably connected to the slide groove, and the partition plate 2 is installed in the slide groove by sliding. The slide groove is provided on the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12 of the box body 1, one end of the slide groove is through, and the other end extends toward the rear side wall of the box body 1. The partition plate 2 is pushed into the slide groove through the opening of the through end, and slides in the slide groove until the partition plate 2 abuts against the rear side wall of the box body 1 to complete the installation. When the partition plate 2 is not needed, the partition plate 2 can be directly pulled out from the box body 1, which is more convenient to use.
[0051] In the specific contents of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the various technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0052] The specific contents of the above specific implementations only express several implementations of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
