[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following part will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0042] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

"And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0045] In the related art, most cooking utensils that cook food by steam use a steam generator to generate steam, and inject the steam into a cooking cavity to steam the food.
[0046] However, in this form, before the steam contacts the food, it will easily mix with the lower temperature air in the cooking cavity and exchange heat, resulting in the dispersion of the steam energy, thereby affecting the steaming effect of the steam on the food.
[0047] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 1 The present application proposes an integrated cooking device (not shown in the figure). In the embodiment of the present application, the integrated cooking device can be an integrated stove or an integrated cooking center, so as to integrate multiple functional components into the entire device to fully meet the various cooking needs of users.
[0048] The integrated cooking device may include a body (not shown in the figure), a cooking component and a smoke extraction component (not shown in the figure), the cooking component includes a cooking utensil 100 and a stove (not shown in the figure), and the cooking utensil 100, the stove and the smoke extraction component are respectively installed on the body. The body may include a body and an electric control module installed on the body, the body is used to carry and install the cooking utensil 100, the stove and the smoke extraction component, and the electric control module is electrically connected to the cooking utensil 100, the stove and the smoke extraction component to control the operation of the cooking utensil 100, the stove and the smoke extraction component.
[0049] It is understandable that the user can cook food by means of a stove by ignition and heating, and the cooking utensil 100 can be a steam oven, thus having the dual functions of steaming and baking, that is, the user can cook food by steaming or baking. Of course, the cooking utensil 100 can also be a steam utensil with only a steaming function, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.
[0050] In order to improve the steaming effect of the cooking appliance 100 on food, please refer to Figure 1 The present application also proposes a cooking device 100, which may include a housing 10, a diverter plate 30, and a heating device 40. The housing 10 is mounted on the body of the machine and has a control module (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the electric control module. A cooking cavity 11 may be formed in the housing 10, and the diverter plate 30 is disposed in the cooking cavity 11.
[0051] The outer contour of the box 10 may be a square, and the material of the box 10 may be a metal material. For example, suitable exemplary metal materials that can be used include but are not limited to stainless steel and aluminum, etc., and the present application does not limit this. When the material of the box 10 is stainless steel, it has the advantages of high strength, high temperature resistance, environmental protection and hygiene, etc. It can be understood that the box 10 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 15 connected to the cooking cavity 11, so that steam can flow into the cooking cavity 11 through the air inlet 13, and finally flow out of the cooking cavity 11 through the air outlet 15 after flowing through the food in the cooking cavity 11, completing the complete steaming process of the food.
[0052] In some structural forms, the air inlet 13 can be arranged on the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11. In the daily use habits of some users, the food to be steamed will be placed on the dinner plate, and then the dinner plate with the food will be placed in the cooking cavity 11. Therefore, when the air inlet 13 is arranged on the cavity bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11, the steam will usually contact the dinner plate first and then the food in the process of moving from bottom to top. Since the temperature of the dinner plate is usually lower, this will cause the steam to disperse its energy when it first contacts the dinner plate, affecting the steaming effect on the food. Therefore, in the form in which the air inlet 13 is arranged on the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, when the steam moves from top to bottom, it will contact the food first compared to the tableware. This can effectively utilize the energy of the steam and improve the steaming effect of the steam on the food. Of course, in other structural forms, the air inlet 13 can also be arranged on the bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. The following content still uses the form of the air inlet 13 being arranged on the top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 to further explain that the cooking utensil 100 of the present application has a good steaming effect on food.
[0053] The splitter plate 30 may be a circular plate (eg Figure 4 ), oval plate (not shown), rectangular plate (such as Figure 5 ) or an irregularly shaped plate (not shown in the figure), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The material of the diverter plate 30 can be a metal material, for example, suitable exemplary metal materials that can be used include but are not limited to stainless steel and aluminum, etc., which are not limited in the present application. When the material of the diverter plate 30 is stainless steel, it has the advantages of high strength, high temperature resistance, environmental protection and hygiene, etc.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 In some structural forms, the diverter plate 30 may include a plate body 31 and a connecting portion 33, the connecting portion 33 being connected to the plate body 31, and the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 is disposed in the cooking cavity 11 through the connecting portion 33. An exemplary connection form is any one of the following multiple forms: when the distance from the plate body 31 to the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 is smaller than the distance from the plate body 31 to the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, the diverter plate 30 may be connected to the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 through the connecting portion 33, so that the length of the connecting portion 33 can be shortened while the plate body 31 is disposed in the cooking cavity 11, so that the structure is simpler and the production material is less; when the plate body 31 to the cooking cavity 11 is closer, the plate body 31 to the cooking cavity 11 is closer. When the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 is smaller than the distance from the plate body 31 to the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 can be connected by a connecting portion 33. In this way, while the plate body 31 is set in the cooking cavity 11, the length of the connecting portion 33 can be shortened, making the structure simpler and using less materials for production. In order to improve the stability of the plate body 31 set in the cooking cavity 11, the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 and the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 can also be connected by a connecting portion 33. In this way, the connection area between the connecting portion 33 and the cooking cavity 11 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 is spaced apart from the air inlet 13, and the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 has a diverter surface 311 facing the air inlet 13, and the diverter surface 311 cooperates with the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 to form at least part of the diverter duct 50, and the end of the diverter plate 30 in the horizontal direction is spaced apart from the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 to form a ring-shaped air outlet area 70, wherein the air inlet 13, the diverter duct 50 and the air outlet area 70 are sequentially connected. The diverter surface 311 is used to adjust the flow direction of the steam flowing in through the air inlet 13 to the horizontal direction, and make the steam flow into the diverter duct 50 and then flow downward through the air outlet area 70 to flow to the food in the cooking cavity 11.
[0056] The heating device 40 may be a heating tube or a heating wire, etc., and the present application does not limit this. The heating device 40 may be connected to the diverter plate 30 to heat the steam in the diverter air duct 50 and the steam near the heating device 40, so that the temperature of the steam can be further increased, so that when the steam contacts the food, the oil and salt in the food can be decomposed to reduce the fat content and salt content of the food, and at the same time, the condensation of the steam can be reduced, so that the steam can store more latent heat to release more energy when it contacts the food later; in addition, the heating device 40 can also heat the diverter plate 30, so that the condensed water dripping from the air inlet 13 on the diverter plate 30 can be dried and turned back into gaseous state, effectively increasing the content of the steam, and can also prevent the condensed water from dripping into the cooking cavity 11, so as to prevent the condensed water from breeding bacteria and odor when the cooking utensil 100 is not used for a long time.
[0057] In summary, the flow direction of steam is adjusted by providing the diverter plate 30, and the diverter plate 30 cooperates with the cooking cavity 11 to form the diverter air duct 50 and the air outlet area 70, so that the cooking device 100 of this embodiment has two effects:
[0058] First, in terms of the steaming effect, after the steam flows in from the air inlet 13, when it contacts the diverter surface 311 of the diverter plate 30, the diverter surface 311 will adjust the flow direction of the steam and adjust it to a horizontal direction, so that the steam will flow in a horizontal direction through the diverter duct 50, that is, it will flow in the horizontal direction to all sides, and when the steam flows out through the annular air outlet area 70, the steam can cover the entire cooking cavity 11 on a horizontal plane and flow from top to bottom. In this way, the steam of the embodiment of the present application can squeeze out the air with a lower temperature originally located in the cooking cavity 11 through the air outlet 15, thereby preventing the steam from directly contacting the air after flowing in from the air inlet 13. Mixed contact is performed, so that heat exchange between steam and air can be avoided to disperse the energy of steam, so as to ensure the heating efficiency of steam on food; at the same time, steam can cover the entire cooking cavity 11 on the horizontal plane and flow from top to bottom, so that the entire steam can almost contact the food at the same time, so that the steaming effect on each position of the entire food is uniform, and the taste of the food after steaming is ensured; furthermore, after the air is squeezed out by steam, the oxygen content in the cooking cavity 11 can be reduced, so as to prevent the polyphenol oxidase activity in the food from being activated, thereby preventing the food from being oxidized and discolored, and also reducing the loss of nutrients in the food, retaining the original flavor and rich nutrition of the food;
[0059] Second, with respect to the simplification of the structure of the diverter plate 30, at least a portion of the diverter duct 50 is constructed by the diverter surface 311 and the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, and an air outlet area 70 is formed by the end of the diverter plate 30 and the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, the cooking utensil 100 of the present application, in cooperation with the cavity top wall 111 and the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, can form the diverter duct 50 and the air outlet area 70 without improving the structure of the diverter plate 30 itself. In this way, the structure of the diverter plate 30 can be simplified, and the processing and manufacturing of the diverter plate 30 in the workshop is convenient.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in the height direction of the cooking cavity 11, the distance between the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 and the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 may be smaller than the distance between the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 and the cavity bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 will be located at the top area of the cooking cavity 11 along its depth direction, so as to avoid the situation that the distance between the diverter surface 311 of the diverter plate 30 and the air inlet 13 is too far, so that the steam directly contacts the food after flowing in from the air inlet 13, and the position where the steam flows downward through the air outlet area 70 is located at the top area of the cooking cavity 11, so that sufficient downward pressure space can be provided for the steam, so as to further reduce the original residual air in the cooking cavity 11, thereby achieving the improvement of the steam steaming effect on the food.
[0061] In some embodiments, in the height direction of the cooking cavity 11, the distance from the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 to the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 may be equal to the distance from the diverter plate 30 to the cavity bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, the plate body 31 of the diverter plate 30 will be located in the middle area of the cooking cavity 11 along the depth direction thereof, so as to avoid the situation where the distance between the diverter surface 311 of the diverter plate 30 and the air inlet 13 is too far, so that the steam flows in from the air inlet 13 and directly contacts the food.
[0062] See also Figure 2 , and in order to further improve the overall diversion effect of the diverter surface 311 on the steam, in some embodiments, the area of the diverter surface 311 is larger than the opening area of the air inlet 13. In this way, compared with the case where the area of the diverter surface 311 is smaller than the opening area of the air inlet 13, in the embodiment of the present application, most of the steam flowing in through the air inlet 13 will be adjusted by the diverter surface 311, greatly reducing the possibility of the steam directly contacting the air in the cooking cavity 11. Of course, in other forms, the area of the diverter surface 311 can be equal to the opening area of the air inlet 13, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.
[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some structural forms, the center line of the diverter surface 311 may be arranged to overlap with the center line of the air inlet 13. It is understandable that, taking the cooking cavity 11 as a cube, when the air inlet 13 is arranged at the center of the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, since the center line of the diverter surface 311 overlaps with the center line of the air inlet 13, the steam flowing in from the air inlet 13 flows horizontally along the four sides to the four cavity side walls 113 of the cooking cavity 11 under the guidance of the diverter surface 311. The flow distance is equal, so that the steam flowing downward from the air outlet area 70 will be more uniform as a whole, effectively reducing the possibility of steam and air mixing, and reducing the residual amount of original air in the cooking cavity 11, so that the oxygen content in the cooking cavity 11 is lower. Of course, in other structural forms, the center line of the diverter surface 311 can also be staggered with the center line of the air inlet 13, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.
[0064] In order to improve the connection strength between the plate body 31 and the connection part 33, the embodiment of the present application sets the plate body 31 and the connection part 33 as an integral structure. In the actual production process, taking the diverter plate 30 as a stainless steel material, the plate body 31 and the connection part 33 can be manufactured as an integral whole by stamping, and the connection part 33 can be formed into a bent shape by stamping through the diverter plate 30 itself to connect the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 11, so that the connection strength between the two can be improved, and the assembly steps can be reduced, and the production materials of the diverter plate 30 can also be saved. Of course, in other structural forms, the plate body 31 and the connection part 33 can also be a split structure, and the two are detachably connected. In this way, the diverter plate 30 can be applied to boxes 10 of different sizes, that is, according to the actual size of the cooking cavity 11 of different boxes 10, the matching connection part 33 can be selected to connect with the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 11 to improve the applicability of the diverter plate 30.
[0065] In order to improve the connection stability between the connection portion 33 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 11, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present application, the connection form between the connection part 33 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 11 may be set as a threaded connection, and the specific structural forms of the connection part 33 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 11 may include but are not limited to the following:
[0066] In some structural forms, a threaded hole (not shown) is provided on the top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, and the connecting portion 33 has a threaded column 39 (such as Figure 5 ), the threaded column 39 is threadedly matched with the threaded hole, so that the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have good repeated disassembly and assembly performance. Further, the connecting portion 33 and the threaded column 39 can be an integrated structure, so that the connection strength between the two can be improved and the assembly steps can be reduced.
[0067] In some structural forms, a threaded hole (not shown) is provided on the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, and the connecting portion 33 has a threaded column 39, which is threadedly matched with the threaded hole, so that the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have good repeated disassembly and assembly performance. Further, the connecting portion 33 and the threaded column 39 can be an integral structure, so that the connection strength between the two can be improved and the assembly steps can be reduced.
[0068] In some structural forms, the top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 and the side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 are both provided with threaded holes (not shown in the figure), and the connecting portion 33 has at least two threaded columns 39, and the threaded columns 39 are threadedly matched with the threaded holes one by one, so that the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have good repeated disassembly and assembly performance. Further, the connecting portion 33 and the threaded columns 39 can be an integral structure, so that the connection strength between the two can be improved and the assembly steps can be reduced.
[0069] In some structural forms, a threaded column 39 is provided on the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11, and the connecting portion 33 has a threaded hole (not shown in the figure), and the threaded column 39 is threadedly matched with the threaded hole. In this way, the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have good repeated disassembly and assembly performance.
[0070] In some structural forms, a threaded column 39 is provided on the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, and the connecting portion 33 has a threaded hole (not shown in the figure), and the threaded column 39 is threadedly matched with the threaded hole. In this way, the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have good repeated disassembly and assembly performance.
[0071] In some structural forms, threaded columns 39 are provided on the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 and the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, and the connecting part 33 has two threaded holes, and the threaded columns 39 are threadedly matched with the threaded holes one by one. In this way, the threaded connection structure is relatively stable and can have better repeated disassembly and assembly performance.
[0072] The above content introduces the advantage of the cooking device 100 of the present application in preventing the energy dispersion of steam from the cooperation form between the diverter plate 30 and the cooking cavity 11. On this basis, in order to further avoid the energy dispersion of steam, in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 of the present application may also include a steam generating component (not shown in the figure), which is located outside the cooking cavity 11 and is used to generate steam, wherein the steam generating component is connected to the cooking cavity 11, so that steam for steaming food can be generated by the steam generating component. Based on this, in order to avoid the energy dissipation of steam in the process of steam from the steam generating component to the cooking cavity 11, the embodiments of the present application may include but are not limited to the following two structural forms:
[0073] In the first structural form, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The cooking device 100 may further include a connecting pipe 90, the two ends of which are connected to the steam generating assembly and the air inlet 13, respectively. Thus, the steam generated by the steam generating assembly can be transported to the air inlet 13 through the connecting pipe 90, thereby preventing the steam from contacting the air outside the cooking cavity 11 during the process of the steam generating assembly to the cooking cavity 11, thereby preventing the steam energy from being dissipated. In addition, if the connecting pipe 90 is damaged and causes steam leakage during long-term use, the user can replace the connecting pipe 90 to extend the service life of the cooking device 100;
[0074] In the second structural form, see Figure 7 The diverter plate 30 further includes a plate body 31, a connecting plate 35 and a connecting pipe portion 37. The plate body 31 has a diverter surface 311. The connecting plate 35 is fixed to the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 and connected to the diverter surface 311. The area of the connecting plate 35 is smaller than the diverter surface 311. The connecting plate 35 and the diverter surface 311 are spaced apart to construct a part of the diverter air duct 50. The diverter surface 311 cooperates with the cavity top wall 111 of the cooking cavity 11 to construct the rest of the diverter air duct 50. The connecting pipe portion 37 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 35 away from the plate body 31. The connecting pipe portion 37 passes through the air inlet 13 to connect with the steam generating assembly. In this way, the steam generated by the steam generating assembly can be transported to the cooking cavity 11 through the connecting pipe portion 37, so as to prevent the steam from contacting with the air outside the cooking cavity 11 during the process from the steam generating assembly to the cooking cavity 11, thereby causing the steam energy to be dissipated.
[0075] Further, on the basis of the second structural form, the connecting pipe part 37, the connecting plate 35 and the plate body 31 can be an integrated structure. In this way, the connecting pipe part 37 and the connecting plate 35 are manufactured by one-time molding, and there is no joint. Therefore, the possibility of air outside the cooking cavity 11 flowing into the connecting pipe part 37 and contacting with steam can be effectively reduced, and the possibility of steam leakage can be effectively reduced. In addition, when the three are an integrated structure, the connection strength of the three can be effectively improved, and the assembly steps can be reduced.
[0076] Also, please read Figure 7 The outer wall surface of the connecting pipe portion 37 can be formed with an external thread structure, a fastener (not shown in the figure) can be inserted into the connecting pipe portion 37, and an internal thread structure is formed on its inner surface, and the connecting pipe portion 37 is fixed in the cooking cavity 11 through the thread cooperation of the external thread structure and the internal thread structure. In this way, while ensuring the connection stability through the cooperation between the connecting pipe portion 37 and the fastener, the embodiment of the present application can also eliminate the connecting portion 33 of the diverter plate 30, so that the overall structure of the diverter plate 30 is relatively simple.
[0077] Please continue reading Figure 1In some embodiments, the air outlet 15 may be disposed below the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, when the steam flows out from the air outlet area 70 and flows toward the air outlet 15, its flow path will have a turning point, that is, the steam will flow out from the air outlet area 70, flow in a top-to-bottom path, and then turn to flow in a horizontal direction to flow toward the air outlet 15. In this way, by providing a turning point in the flow path, the flow rate of the steam can be appropriately reduced, and the steam can be prevented from contacting the air in the cooking cavity 11 too early before contacting the food, further preventing the energy dispersion of the steam, and at the same time, it is beneficial to improve the discharge effect of the air originally located in the cooking cavity 11, avoid the formation of air stagnation dead corners in the cooking cavity 11, and thereby improve the steaming effect of the cooking device.
[0078] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air outlet 15 can also be arranged on the bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, by arranging the air outlet 15 below the cooking cavity 11, it is helpful to improve the discharge effect of the air originally located in the cooking cavity 11, avoid the formation of air accumulation dead corners in the cooking cavity 11, and thus improve the steaming effect of the cooking equipment.
[0079] Of course, in some embodiments, the air outlet 15 can also be arranged below the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11 and on the cavity bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11, that is, the number of the air outlets 15 can be at least two, one of which is arranged below the cavity side wall 113 of the cooking cavity 11, and the other is arranged on the cavity bottom wall 115 of the cooking cavity 11. In this way, when the steam flows out from the air outlet area 70 and flows to the air outlet 15, its flow path will have a turning point, that is, the steam will flow out from the air outlet area 70, flow in a top-down path, and then flow in a horizontal direction through the turning to flow to the air outlet 15. In this way, by forming a turning point in the flow path, the flow rate of the steam can be appropriately reduced, and the steam is prevented from contacting the air in the cooking cavity 11 too early before contacting the food, further preventing the energy dispersion of the steam, and at the same time, it is beneficial to improve the discharge effect of the air originally located in the cooking cavity 11, avoid the formation of air stagnation dead corners in the cooking cavity 11, and thereby improve the steaming effect of the cooking device.
[0080] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the heating device 40 can be connected to the surface of the diverter plate 30 away from the diverter surface 311. In this way, the heating device 40 will not occupy the space in the diverter air duct 50 to avoid affecting the content of the steam. In addition to heating the steam in the diverter channel, the heating device 40 can also heat the steam in the vicinity of the surface of the diverter plate 30 away from the diverter surface 311 to generate more steam with a higher temperature. Of course, in other structural forms, the heating device 40 can also be connected to the diverter surface 311 or to the end surface of the end of the diverter plate 30, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.
