Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a condensation box, a cooking device and an integrated cooking appliance. Background Art

[0002] As Chinese people pay more and more attention to healthy cooking and balanced diet, they pay more and more attention to the cooking method of "steaming". Cooking devices using steam usually include an inner pot, and during cooking, the steam fills the entire inner pot and cooks the food in the inner pot. In order to prevent the pressure in the inner pot from being too high, the inner pot has an inner pot steam outlet. The inner pot steam outlet is connected to a condensation box. The steam is condensed in the condensation box and flows back into the inner pot, thereby reducing the amount of steam discharged, and also preventing a large amount of steam from being directly ejected to cause a scalding risk.

[0003] Typically, in order to improve the condensation effect, a baffle is provided in the condensation box to separate the condensation channel, thereby extending the path length of the steam flowing in the condensation box.

[0004] However, these baffles may also trap condensed water in the condensation box, resulting in poor condensed water return effect. This will cause condensed water to accumulate in the condensation box for a long time, which may deteriorate, and further cause the inner tank to be contaminated, which will harm the health of users. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the utility model provides a condensation box, which includes: a box body, having a steam inlet, a steam outlet and a condensed water outlet; at least one baffle, at least one baffle is arranged in the box body and separates a steam channel in the box body, the steam channel is connected between the steam inlet and the steam outlet, a gap is formed between the lower edge of each of the at least one baffle and the inner surface of the bottom wall of the box body, the gap is connected to the steam channel, and the bottom of the condensed water outlet is not higher than the inner surface of the bottom wall.

[0006] In the above technical solution, by setting at least one baffle in the box body of the condensation box, a steam channel with a longer path can be separated, so that the steam can be fully cooled in the condensation box to form condensed water. However, the baffle may affect the reflux of the condensed water, so the lower edge of the baffle is designed to form a gap with the inner surface of the bottom wall, which can alleviate the blocking effect of the baffle on the condensed water, so that the condensed water can flow through the gap along the inner surface of the bottom wall to the condensed water outlet, thereby avoiding the long-term accumulation and deterioration of the condensed water in the condensation box, and contaminating the food. At the same time, the gap set below the baffle will not affect the condensation effect of the condensation box on the steam.

[0007] Exemplarily, along an extension direction of each of the at least one baffle, the baffle is spaced apart from an inner surface of the bottom wall to form a gap.

[0008] By setting the entire lower edge of the baffle to be separated from the inner surface of the bottom wall to form a gap, not only can the cross-sectional area of ​​the condensate flow channel be increased, making the condensate flow smoother and avoiding the blockage and accumulation of condensate in the gap, but also the processing and assembly of the condensate box can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

[0009] Exemplarily, the inner surface of the bottom wall slopes downward toward the condensed water outlet.

[0010] The downwardly inclined inner surface of the bottom wall can guide the condensed water to the condensed water outlet, further avoiding the residue of the condensed water.

[0011] Exemplarily, the steam inlet and the condensed water outlet are the same port.

[0012] The condensed water can flow directly back to the water storage tray at the bottom of the inner pot through the steam inlet, evaporate again and turn into steam to heat the food. This design has a simple structure, does not require additional piping, and avoids the user having to add water repeatedly.

[0013] Illustratively, at least one baffle is connected to the top wall of the box body.

[0014] The baffle is connected to the top wall of the box body, which can prevent a gap from being generated between the baffle and the top wall, so that steam does not pass through the baffle from the steam inlet and directly reaches the steam outlet, which reduces the condensation effect. Connecting the baffle to the top wall of the box body can prevent cracks from being generated on the side wall or bottom wall of the box body, thereby avoiding water leakage.

[0015] Exemplarily, the condensing box has a steam inlet end face and a steam outlet end face arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and at least one baffle is arranged side by side along the first direction to separate sub-steam channels on both sides of each of the at least one baffle. Along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, each of the at least one baffle has an opposite first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each odd-numbered baffle has a first notch connected between two sub-steam channels separated by the baffle, and the second end of each even-numbered baffle has a second notch connected between two sub-steam channels separated by the baffle, so that the steam channel is serpentine.

[0016] The sub-steam channel, the first notch and the second notch together form a serpentine channel connected between the steam inlet and the steam outlet, thereby greatly extending the steam path without changing the appearance of the condensation box, providing a better condensation effect. The baffle structure of the above structure is simple and low in cost.

[0017] Exemplarily, the steam inlet is arranged in the middle of the steam inlet end surface and the lowest point of the steam inlet is not higher than the inner surface of the bottom wall at the steam inlet end surface.

[0018] The condensation box arranged in this way is not easy to accumulate water, which can prevent bacteria from breeding when it is idle.

[0019] Exemplarily, the condensation box further includes a side wall connected between the steam inlet end surface and the steam outlet end surface, and the steam outlet is arranged on the end of the side wall connected to the steam outlet end surface.

[0020] This arrangement can reduce the size in the first direction and improve the space utilization of the cooking device.

[0021] Exemplarily, the inner surface of the bottom wall of the condensation box is overall inclined upward in a direction from the steam inlet end surface to the steam outlet end surface.

[0022] The production process of the box body with such a structure is simple and the cost is low. The condensation box is tilted as a whole, and the bottom wall will also tilt accordingly, so that the condensed water can flow along the bottom wall surface that tilts upward from the steam inlet end face to the steam outlet end face to the air inlet end face, and then flow back from the steam inlet to the inner tank.

[0023] According to another aspect of the utility model, a cooking device is provided, which has a steam exhaust port, including: the above-mentioned condensation box; and an inner pot, wherein the inner pot is provided with an inner pot steam outlet, the condensation box is arranged outside the inner pot, and the inner pot steam outlet is connected to the steam inlet of the condensation box.

[0024] Exemplarily, the cooking device further comprises a heat dissipation fan, wherein an air outlet of the heat dissipation fan faces the condensation box.

[0025] The air outlet of the heat dissipation fan can be directed toward the condensation box, so that a large flow of air can quickly pass through the condensation box to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

[0026] According to another aspect of the utility model, an integrated cooking device is provided, comprising a cooker and the above-mentioned cooking device, wherein the cooker is arranged above the cooking device, and the steam exhaust port is arranged at the rear of the panel of the cooker.

[0027] The steam exhaust port is arranged on the panel of the cooker to avoid adverse effects caused by residual steam, and is arranged at the rear away from the user to avoid scalding the user.

[0028] A series of simplified concepts are introduced in the utility model content, which will be further described in detail in the detailed implementation section. The utility model content section does not mean to attempt to define the key features and essential technical features of the technical solution claimed for protection, nor does it mean to attempt to determine the scope of protection of the technical solution claimed for protection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In the following description, a large number of details are provided so that the present invention can be thoroughly understood. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description only illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented without one or more of such details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described in detail.

[0042] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a condensation box, and the condensation box of the embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 4 The condensation box 100 may include a box body 110, and the box body 110 may be provided with a steam inlet 101, a steam outlet 102 and a condensed water outlet (the same as the steam inlet 101 in the figure). At least one baffle 120 may be provided in the box body 110, and the baffle 120 may separate a steam channel 130 in the box body 110, and the steam channel 130 is connected between the steam inlet 101 and the steam outlet 102. The baffle 120 may block and change the flow direction of steam. Exemplarily, the steam inlet 101 may be connected to the inner pot steam outlet 211 of the inner pot 210 of the cooking device 200, see Figure 7 The steam can enter the condensation box 100 from the steam inlet 101 on the box body 110 and flow along the steam channel 130. The baffle 120 can play a partitioning role in the box body 110, thereby extending the length of the steam channel 130, so that the steam can spend a longer time in the condensation box 100. Therefore, sufficient heat exchange can be carried out with the condensation box 100, improving the condensation effect. Return to see Figures 2 to 5 , the baffle 120 can be arranged vertically or inclined relative to the vertical direction. Steam condenses into water droplets when it is condensed on the surface of the baffle 120 or the inner surface of the box body 110, and slides down along the surface of the baffle 120 and the inner surface of the box body 110. A gap is formed between the lower edge of each baffle 120 and the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall of the box body 110. The gap can be connected to the steam channel 130. After the condensed water in the steam channel 130 slides down along the surface of the baffle 120 and the inner surface of the box body 110 to the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall, it can flow on the entire inner surface 150 of the bottom wall through the gap. The bottom of the condensed water outlet is not higher than the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall, so the condensed water that slides down to the entire inner surface 150 of the bottom wall can be discharged from the condensed water outlet. Figure 1 The condensate outlet shown is the same as the steam inlet 101. In an embodiment not shown, a separate condensate outlet may also be provided. Figure 7 ), using the steam inlet 101 as a condensed water outlet, the condensed water can flow back into the inner tank 210, which is convenient for the reuse of the condensed water, thereby reducing the steam discharge amount and reducing the frequency of users filling the water storage box with water.

[0044] As 1 to Figure 5 A condensation box according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2The gap is formed by the entire lower edge of the baffle 120 being separated from the bottom wall inner surface 150, so the gap can also be called a gap 140. The length of the gap 140 is equal to the length of each baffle 120. In this way, the two channels separated by the baffle 120 can be completely connected through the gap 140, and the baffle 120 will not have any blocking effect on the condensed water, so that the condensed water can flow freely on the entire bottom wall inner surface 150, so the reflux effect of the condensed water will be better.

[0045] In addition, since the density of steam is usually less than that of air, most of the steam flows in the upper part of the condensation box 100, and a small part flows out from the condensation water flow channel. Therefore, setting the gap will not substantially affect the cooling effect of the condensation box 100 on the steam. The cross-sectional area of ​​the condensation water channel can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the steam channel 130, further ensuring that most of the steam flows in the direction of the steam channel 130.

[0046] Of course, in another set of embodiments, reference Figure 6 A portion of the lower edge of each baffle 120' is spaced apart from the bottom wall inner surface 150 to form a gap, and the gap does not extend along the baffle 120', so it can be considered that the gap is formed by the opening 140' formed on the baffle 120'. The lower edge of the other portion of each baffle 120' may be connected to or abut against the bottom wall inner surface 150. Although the portion of the baffle 120' that is connected to or abuts against the bottom wall inner surface 150 will block the flow of condensed water, a better drainage effect can still be achieved by reasonably setting the structure of the bottom wall inner surface 150. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the openings 140' are all arranged on the same side. Then, the side can be tilted relative to the other side, so that the condensed water can be smoothly discharged from the condensation box 100' through the openings 140' on the side. In addition, although in the illustrated embodiment, the openings 140' are arranged on one side, in other embodiments not shown, the openings 140' can be arranged in the middle of the baffle 120'.

[0047] In the above technical solution, by setting at least one baffle 120 in the box body 110 of the condensation box 100, a steam channel 130 with a longer path can be separated, so that the steam can be fully cooled in the condensation box 100 to form condensed water. However, the baffle 120 may affect the reflux of the condensed water, so the lower edge of the baffle 120 is designed to form a gap with the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall, which can alleviate the blocking effect of the baffle 120 on the condensed water, so that the condensed water can pass through the gap along the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall and converge to the condensed water outlet, thereby avoiding the condensed water in the condensation box 100 from being accumulated for a long time and deteriorating, contaminating food, etc. At the same time, the gap set below the baffle 120 will not affect the condensation effect of the condensation box 100 on the steam.

[0048] For example, along the extension direction of each baffle 120, the baffle 120 is spaced apart from the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall to form a gap, that is, a gap 140. Figure 2 The bottom of the baffle 120 does not contact the bottom wall inner surface 150, and the condensed water can flow freely on the entire bottom wall inner surface 150. In other words, compared with the solution of only providing a small opening 140' between the baffle 120 and the bottom wall inner surface 150, the cross-sectional area of ​​the condensed water flow channel is larger and the flow is smoother.

[0049] The gap can be set large enough to prevent water from sticking in the gap due to surface tension. The inner surface of the baffle 120 and the bottom wall can be made of hydrophobic material, or a coating of hydrophobic material can be provided to prevent condensed water from adhering to and accumulating in the condensation box 100. As described above, the baffle 120 can change the movement direction of the steam, so the gap between the baffle 120 and the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall should not be set too large to prevent the steam from directly passing through the gap in large quantities, thereby reducing the condensation effect.

[0050] By setting the entire lower edge of the baffle 120 to be separated from the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall to form a gap, not only can the cross-sectional area of ​​the condensate flow channel be increased, making the condensate flow smoother and avoiding the blockage and accumulation of condensate in the gap, but also the processing and assembly of the condensate box 100 can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

[0051] Exemplarily, the bottom wall inner surface 150 is inclined downward toward the condensed water outlet. Figure 2 , the downwardly inclined bottom wall inner surface 150 can guide the condensed water to the condensed water outlet, further avoiding the residue of condensed water. Exemplarily, the bottom wall of the box body 110 can adopt a structure that gradually becomes thinner in the direction toward the condensed water outlet, so that the bottom wall inner surface 150 is inclined. Or, optionally, the bottom wall of the box body 110 can be tilted as a whole to form an inclined bottom wall inner surface 150. Preferably, the bottom wall inner surface 150 can form an angle of 5-10 degrees with the horizontal plane, so as to ensure the water flow effect without significantly increasing the height of the condensation box 100.

[0052] In other embodiments not shown, the condensate outlet may also be provided on the bottom wall of the box body. For example, the condensate outlet may be provided in the middle area of ​​the bottom wall of the box body 110, in which case the bottom wall inner surface 150 may be funnel-shaped, and the condensate outlet may be provided at the lowest point of the funnel. For example, the condensate outlet may also be provided in the edge area of ​​the bottom wall of the box body 110, in which case the bottom wall inner surface 150 only needs to be inclined downward toward the edge area.

[0053] For example, the steam inlet 101 and the condensed water outlet may be the same outlet. The condensed water may directly flow back to the inner pot 210 through the steam inlet 101 (see Figure 7 ) is stored in the water storage tray at the bottom and evaporates again to become steam to heat the food. This design has a simple structure, does not require additional piping, and avoids the user having to add water repeatedly.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, illustratively, at least one baffle 120 is connected to the top wall 170 of the box body 110. As described above, most of the steam is located above the condensation box 100, and the baffle 120 is connected to the top wall 170 of the box body 110, which can prevent the formation of a gap between the baffle 120 and the top wall 170, and the steam directly reaches the steam outlet 102 from the steam inlet 101 without passing through the baffle 120, so that the condensation effect is reduced. The baffle 120 can be connected to the box body 110 by screws, rivets, welding, etc., and connecting the baffle 120 to the top wall 170 of the box body 110 can prevent cracks from being generated on the side wall or bottom wall of the box body 110, thereby avoiding water leakage.

[0055] For example, return reference Figure 2 and 5 The condensation box 100 may have a steam inlet end face 103 and a steam outlet end face 104 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction XX. The first direction XX may be the length direction of the condensation box 100. The condensation box 100 further includes at least one baffle 120 arranged side by side along the first direction XX, and each baffle 120 has two sides separating a sub-steam channel, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Along a second direction YY perpendicular to the first direction XX, that is, the width direction of the condensation box 100, each baffle 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 opposite to each other. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, 7 baffles 120 are provided. The first end 121 of each odd-numbered baffle 120 has a first notch 123 connected between two sub-steam channels separated by the baffle 120, and the second end 122 of each even-numbered baffle 120 has a second notch 124 connected between two sub-steam channels separated by the baffle 120. The first notch 123 and the second notch 124 can be formed by the baffle 120 and the box body 110 of the condensation box 100, or can be a through hole provided on the baffle 120. The sub-steam channel and the first notch 123 and the second notch 124 together form a serpentine steam channel 130, thereby greatly extending the path of the steam without changing the appearance of the condensation box 100, providing a better condensation effect. The steam channel formed by the above-mentioned baffle 120 also has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0056] In an embodiment not shown, there may be fewer or more baffles. The baffle may not be arranged perpendicular to the top wall or side wall of the condensation box. The baffle may also include only one baffle, which is arranged in the condensation box, and the two sub-steam channels and the first notch form a U-shaped channel connected between the steam inlet and the steam outlet.

[0057] For example, to facilitate the condensed water to flow back from the steam inlet 101 to the inner tank 210, the steam inlet 101 is arranged in the middle of the steam inlet end surface 103, and the lowest point of the steam inlet 101 is not higher than the inner surface 150 of the bottom wall at the steam inlet end surface 103. The condensation box 100 arranged in this way is not easy to accumulate water, and can avoid the breeding of bacteria when it is idle.

[0058] Exemplarily, the condensation box further includes a side wall 105 connected between the steam inlet end face 103 and the steam outlet end face 104. In the illustrated embodiment, the side wall 105 is flat; in other embodiments not shown, the side wall may be curved. The steam outlet 102 may be provided at the end of the side wall 105 connected to the steam outlet end face 104. The steam outlet 102 is provided on the side, so that there is no need to provide a bent pipe to connect the exhaust port 240 to be mentioned later. For a relatively large condensation box 100, such a configuration can reduce the size in the first direction XX and improve the space utilization of the cooking device; moreover, the entire length of the serpentine steam channel 130 can be fully utilized to condense the steam.

[0059] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the bottom wall inner surface 150 of the condensation box 100 is tilted upward as a whole in the direction from the steam inlet end face 103 to the steam outlet end face 104. Condensed water can flow to the steam inlet 101 along the bottom wall inner surface 150 tilted upward from the steam inlet end face 103 to the steam outlet end face 104, and then smoothly flow back to the inner tank 210, thereby reducing the steam discharge amount. Exemplarily, the box body 110 of the condensation box 100 can adopt a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the production process of the box body 110 of such a structure is simple and the cost is low. The bottom and side walls of the condensation box 100 manufactured in this way are usually vertical, and when the condensation box 100 is placed flat, the bottom wall inner surface 150 of the box body 110 is also usually horizontal. In order to avoid the accumulation of condensed water in the condensation box 100, the condensation box 100 can be set to be tilted as a whole, and the bottom wall inner surface 150 of the condensation box 100 will also be tilted accordingly. The condensation box 100 may be supported by a bracket, and one end of the condensation box 100 may be higher than the other end through the brackets at different heights.

[0060] Exemplarily, the condensation box 100 may further include a connecting plate 180, and the connecting plate 180 is connected to one baffle 120 or between multiple baffles 120. Figure 4 and Figure 5, illustratively, the connecting plate 180 and the baffle 120 can be formed by bending a plate, or can be formed by stamping a metal sheet. The connecting plate 180 can also be fixed to the top wall 170 by means of resistance welding, adhesive, etc. In an embodiment not shown, a through hole can be provided on the connecting plate so as to be fixed to the top wall of the box body. Alternatively, the connecting plate and the baffle can be made of an elastic material, and when the connecting plate and the baffle are installed into the box body, their elasticity can ensure that their positions in the box body are relatively fixed. On the one hand, the connecting plate 180 can facilitate the fixation of the baffle 120, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the processing of the connecting plate 180 and the baffle 120 and reduce costs.

[0061] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking device 200 is also provided. The cooking device 200 may be embedded or non-embedded. Figure 7 As shown. The cooking device 200 can be applied to integrated cooking equipment, such as an integrated stove. The cooking device 200 is provided with a steam exhaust port 240, the condensation box 100 and an inner pot 210. The inner pot 210 can be provided with an inner pot steam outlet 211. The condensation box 100 is arranged outside the inner pot 210. The steam outlet of the inner pot 210 can be connected to the steam inlet 101 of the condensation box 100.

[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, the cooking device 200 may include an inner pot 210 and may also include a steam outlet 240, and the steam outlet 240 may be connected to the outside atmosphere. Taking the cooking device 200 as a steam oven as an example, when the cooking device 200 is working, the heating component inside it heats the air in the inner pot 210, and the heated air evaporates the water in the water storage tray at the bottom of the inner pot 210, thereby generating water vapor. The water vapor can circulate in the inner pot 210 to evenly heat the food. To this end, a circulating fan for assisting the circulation of hot air and water vapor may also be provided in the cooking device 200.

[0063] In order to prevent excessive accumulation of water vapor in the inner pot 210, resulting in excessive pressure, an inner pot steam outlet 211 may be provided on the inner pot 210. The air expanded by heat and the excess water vapor can be discharged from the inner pot 210 through the inner pot steam outlet 211. The cooking device 200 may include the above-mentioned condensation box 100, and the water vapor discharged through the inner pot steam outlet 211 can be cooled by the condensation box 100 disposed outside the inner pot 210. The cooking device 200 provided with the above-mentioned condensation box 100 will not discharge steam with high humidity, and the condensed water will flow back to the inner pot 210, and there is no need to add water repeatedly. After cooking is completed, condensed water will not accumulate in the condensation box 100, and it is not easy to breed bacteria.

[0064] For example, the cooking device 200 may further include a heat dissipation fan 220, which may include one or more of an axial flow fan and a centrifugal fan, and may blow air in a fixed direction. The air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 220 may be directed toward the condensation box 100, so that a large amount of air can quickly pass through the condensation box 100, thereby achieving a better heat dissipation effect.

[0065] Exemplarily, the heat dissipation fan 220 may be located at the front of the inner pot 210. The air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 220 may be oriented toward the rear of the cooking device 200. As mentioned above, a heating component may be disposed at the rear of the inner pot 210, and the cooking device 200 will be integrally embedded in a cabinet or an integrated stove when in use, so the temperature at the rear is higher. Placing the heat dissipation fan 220 at the front of the inner pot 210 allows the heat dissipation fan 220 to draw air from the front side of the inner pot 210, where the temperature is lower, which is more conducive to achieving a better heat dissipation effect.

[0066] The cooking device 200 may further include an electric control board 230, which is used at least to control the operation of the cooking device 200. Exemplarily, the electric control board 230 may be electrically connected to a circulating fan, a heating component, etc., and detect and control the heating power of the heating component, the wind force of the circulating fan, etc. through a temperature probe (not shown), so as to achieve a better heating effect on the food in the inner pot 210. The electric control board 230 may also be used for timing and other tasks, which are not listed here. The electric control board 230 may be constructed using electronic components such as a timer, a comparator, a register, a digital logic circuit, or may be implemented using a processor chip such as a single-chip microcomputer, a microprocessor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic array (PLA), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and its peripheral circuits.

[0067] The electric control board 230 can be located outside the inner tank 210 and behind the heat dissipation fan 220. It can be understood that the electric control board 230 will also generate heat when working. The electric control board 230 is set behind the heat dissipation fan 220. The heat dissipation fan 220 can provide a certain degree of cooling to the electric control board 230 while cooling the condensation box 100. The condensation box 100 can be set between the heat dissipation fan 220 and the electric control board 230. Since the temperature of the condensation box 100 must be low enough to ensure the condensation effect of water vapor. The wind force of the heat dissipation fan 220 may be divergent. Therefore, making the condensation box 100 closer to the air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 220 than the electric control board 230 can give priority to cooling the condensation box 100 and improve the condensation effect. Moreover, the heat generated by the condensation box 100 is much greater than that of the electric control board 230 , and a smaller air volume is provided to cool the electric control board 230 to meet its working temperature, while the condensation box 100 requires a larger air volume to meet its working temperature.

[0068] According to another aspect of the present invention, an integrated cooking device is also provided, and the cooking device 200 can be arranged in the integrated cooking device. Figure 8 As shown, the integrated cooking device 300 may further include a stove 310, which may be disposed above the cooking device. The exhaust port 240 is disposed at the rear of the panel of the stove 310. The exhaust port 240 is further away from the user than the stove 310, so the user usually does not touch the exhaust port 240 and will not get burned. When the cooking device is working, the residual steam after condensation by the condensation box 100 can be discharged through the exhaust port 240, and can be discharged to the outside through the range hood (if any) above the integrated cooking device 300. In short, the exhaust port 240 is disposed on the panel of the stove 310 to avoid adverse effects caused by residual steam, and is disposed at the rear away from the user to avoid burns to the user.
