[0030] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0031] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5The steam cooking device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is described. The steam cooking device 100 can cook food by means of steam heating.

[0032] According to the embodiment of the present application, the steam cooking device 100 includes: a machine base 1, a pot assembly 2 and an air guide valve assembly 3. A steam generating device 4 is provided in the machine base 1. The steam generating device 4 is used to generate high-temperature steam. The machine base 1 is provided with a first joint 101 connected to the steam generating device 4 and used to output steam. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam generating device 4 can be transported to the first joint 101 and further transported to the side of the pot assembly 2 through the first joint 101.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pot assembly 2 has a cooking cavity 202, and the pot assembly 2 is provided with a second joint 201 connected to the cooking cavity 202, through which steam can be transported into the cooking cavity 202 to cook the food in the cooking cavity 202. The cooking method is to heat the food by high-temperature steam.

[0034] The second joint 201 may be disposed at the top of the pot assembly 2 or at the side of the pot assembly 2. Figure 3 When the second joint 201 is set at the top of the pot assembly 2, the steam cooking device 100 in the present application adopts an air delivery method of conveying steam from the top, so that the steam entering the cooking cavity 202 through the second joint 201 can directly contact the food in the cooking cavity 202, and there is no need to wait for the container for holding the food and the ambient temperature in the cooking cavity 202 to rise before heating the food, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the food.

[0035] It is understandable that food is usually placed in containers such as plates and bowls, and the containers are placed together with the food in the cooking cavity 202. If steam is transported upward from the bottom of the cooking cavity 202, the steam cannot directly act on the food in the container, and the steam fills the cooking cavity 202 by free diffusion. At this time, the heat exchange efficiency between the steam and the food is low, and the food heats up slowly, so that the food can only be fully heated after the temperature of the container and the ambient temperature in the cooking cavity 202 rise, which affects the efficiency of steam cooking of the food.

[0036] At the same time, when the steam is transported downward from the top of the cooking cavity 202, the steam has a certain speed, which can accelerate the convection heat exchange between the steam and the food, thereby further accelerating the cooking efficiency of the food, improving the taste of the food, shortening the cooking time and reducing the energy consumption of the steam cooking device 100.

[0037] In the present application, the air guide valve assembly 3 is provided with an air guide channel 301, the air inlet of the air guide channel 301 is used to communicate with the first connector 101, and the air outlet of the air guide channel 301 is used to communicate with the second connector 201, so that the first connector 101 and the second connector 201 are connected through the air guide valve assembly 3, so that the steam output from the first connector 101 flows into the cooking cavity 202 through the second connector 201 after flowing through the air guide channel 301, thereby meeting the cooking requirement of delivering high-temperature steam into the cooking cavity 202.

[0038] Among them, the air guide valve assembly 3 is detachably installed on the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2, so that when the air guide valve assembly 3 needs to be cleaned, the air guide valve assembly 3 can be removed from the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2 to clean the air guide valve assembly 3, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the air guide valve assembly 3.

[0039] It should be noted that in the related art, the steamer or steam rice cooker is provided with a reversible head, through which steam is delivered to the cooking cavity 202. However, due to the large size of the head and its connection with the body, it is not convenient to clean the steam delivery structure in the head, which makes the steam delivery structure in the head easily clogged by scale or other impurities, affecting the cooking effect of the steam cooking device and causing hygiene problems.

[0040] Furthermore, the steamer and steam rice cooker need to buckle the whole head on the pot by flipping, and the sealing between the pot and the head needs to be ensured, which leads to a complex structure at the head. At the same time, the steam delivery structure (such as pipelines, etc.) is usually blocked by the shell of the head, which further increases the difficulty of cleaning the steam delivery structure.

[0041] In the present application, steam is transported between the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2 through the air guide valve assembly 3, and the air guide valve assembly 3 is an independent steam transport structure compared to the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2. When steam needs to be transported to the cooking cavity 202 of the pot assembly 2, the first joint 101 and the second joint 201 are connected through the air guide valve assembly 3, so that the steam output from the machine base 1 can be transported to one side of the cooking cavity 202; when the air guide valve assembly 3 needs to be cleaned, the air guide valve assembly 3 can be removed from the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2 to reduce the difficulty of cleaning the air guide valve assembly 3. Compared with the solution of disassembling the entire machine head, the operation difficulty is lower.

[0042] According to the steam cooking device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first joint 101 and the second joint 201 are connected through the air guide valve assembly 3 to meet the cooking demand of delivering steam to the cooking cavity 202, and the air guide valve assembly 3 can be removed from the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the air guide valve assembly 3. At the same time, the pot assembly 2 in the present application delivers steam to the cooking cavity 202 through the top, which can improve the cooking effect of the steam cooking device 100 on the food.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the pot assembly 2 can be arranged on the machine base 1 to support the pot assembly 2 through the machine base 1. It can be understood that the pot assembly 2 can be positioned through the machine base 1, so that the pot assembly 2 can be arranged at a position suitable for assembly with the air guide valve assembly 3, thereby facilitating the assembly of the air guide valve assembly 3 to the pot assembly 2 and the machine base 1.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the air guide valve assembly 3 includes: a housing 31 and an air guide pipe 32, the air guide pipe 32 is installed in the housing 31, and the air guide pipe 32 forms the above-mentioned air guide channel 301, both ends of the air guide pipe 32 are penetrated through the bottom wall of the housing 31, and the two ends of the air guide pipe 32 are respectively plugged and matched with the first joint 101 and the second joint 201. Therefore, the air guide valve assembly 3 can be assembled to the machine base 1 and the pot assembly 2 by plugging and matching.

[0045] It can be understood that the two ports (i.e., the air inlet and the air outlet) of the air guide pipe 32 are both arranged on the bottom wall of the housing 31, the first joint 101 is arranged on the top of the base 1, and the second joint 201 is arranged on the top of the pot assembly 2. Thus, the air guide valve assembly 3 can be installed on the top wall of the base 1 and the pot assembly 2, and the installation direction of the air guide valve assembly 3 is from top to bottom, which is convenient for user operation.

[0046] Furthermore, the two ports of the air guide channel 301 are connected to the first connector 101 and the second connector 201 by plugging. The connection method is simple and reliable. The user can install or disassemble the air guide valve assembly 3 by plugging and unplugging. The operation is easy and convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble the air guide valve assembly 3.

[0047] The air guide pipe 32 is detachably mounted on the shell 31. When the steam valve assembly needs to be cleaned, the air guide pipe 32 can be removed from the shell 31 to clean the air guide channel 301 of the air guide pipe 32 by flushing or other cleaning methods.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the shell 31 includes: a first bracket 311 and a second bracket 312, the first bracket 311 forms a mounting groove 3111, the mounting groove 3111 is used to install the air guide tube 32, the second bracket 312 is arranged at the open end of the mounting groove 3111, and the second bracket 312 is connected to the first bracket 311, and the second bracket 312 can cover the open end of the mounting groove 3111 to prevent the air guide tube 32 arranged in the mounting groove 3111 from being exposed, thereby improving the safety of the air guide valve assembly 3.

[0049] It is understandable that the air duct 32 is used for high-temperature steam to pass through, which causes the temperature at the air duct 32 to be relatively high. If the air duct 32 is exposed, the user will be at risk of being scalded by the air duct 32, posing a safety hazard.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 , through the cooperation of the first bracket 311 and the second bracket 312, an installation cavity for installing the air guide tube 32 can be formed, the air guide tube 32 is accommodated in the installation cavity, and both ends of the air guide tube 32 can pass through the lower surface of the first bracket 311, so as to facilitate the plugging and matching of the air guide tube 32 with the first connector 101 and the second connector 201. Among them, the first connector 101 and the second connector 201 can be respectively inserted into the two ends of the air guide tube 32 to communicate with the air guide channel 301.

[0051] At the same time, the arrangement of the first bracket 311 and the second bracket 312 can also reduce the heat radiated outward from the air guide pipe 32, thereby reducing the heat loss of the steam and ensuring the steam delivery temperature.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 311 is provided with a positioning groove 3112, and part of the air duct 32 is embedded in the positioning groove 3112 to be positioned and matched with the positioning groove 3112, so that the air duct 32 can be positioned and matched with the first bracket 311, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and reliability of the air duct 32.

[0053] The positioning groove 3112 is concave from top to bottom, and the shape of the positioning groove 3112 is adapted to the shape of the air guide tube 32 to enhance the positioning effect of the positioning groove 3112 on the air guide tube 32. Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the air guide tube 32 is configured in a U shape, the positioning groove 3112 is also configured in a U shape, and the groove wall of the positioning groove 3112 fits closely with the outer peripheral wall of the air guide tube 32 .

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second bracket 312 is provided with a positioning protrusion 3121 , and the positioning protrusion 3121 can be pressed against the air guide tube 32 for positioning, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the air guide tube 32 .

[0055] The positioning protrusion 3121 extends downward from the lower wall surface of the second bracket 312 (ie, toward the side of the air guide tube 32 ), and the positioning protrusion 3121 can abut against the air guide tube 32 to position the air guide tube 32 .

[0056] Reference Figure 5When the first bracket 311 is provided with a positioning groove 3112 and the second bracket 312 is provided with a positioning protrusion 3121, the air duct 32 can be positioned by the positioning groove 3112 first, and the air duct 32 can be further pressed and fixed in the positioning groove 3112 by the positioning protrusion 3121 to improve the connection reliability between the air duct 32 and the shell 31 and prevent the air duct 32 from shaking or moving relative to the shell 31.

[0057] There are multiple positioning protrusions 3121 , and the multiple positioning protrusions 3121 are arranged at intervals in the extending direction of the air duct 32 to further enhance the positioning effect of the second bracket 312 on the air duct 32 .

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 311 is connected to the second bracket 312 by snapping, and the snapping connection is simple and has high reliability.

[0059] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first bracket 311 is provided with a card slot 3113, and the card slot 3113 is set through the wall thickness direction of the first bracket 311. The second bracket 312 is provided with a card protrusion 3122, and the card protrusion 3122 is card-engaged with the card slot 3113 to fix the first bracket 311 and the second bracket 312.

[0060] The slot 3113 is formed on one side of the first bracket 311 near the open end, the lower end of the second bracket 312 is provided with a connecting wall extending toward one side of the first bracket 311, and the engaging protrusion 3122 is provided on the inner wall surface of the connecting wall.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the steam cooking device 100 further includes: a detection component, which is used to detect the relative position of the air guide valve assembly 3 and the machine base 1. The steam cooking device 100 is suitable for cooking after the air guide valve assembly 3 and the machine base 1 are properly assembled, thereby preventing steam from being ejected from the first joint 101 when the steam valve assembly is not properly assembled, thereby improving the safety of the steam cooking device 100.

[0062] The fact that the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled with the machine base 1 means that the high-temperature steam discharged through the first joint 101 can flow into the air guide channel 301 and be further transported to the side of the cooking cavity 202 through the air guide valve assembly 3 .

[0063] It can be understood that the steam generating device 4 in the steam cooking device 100 can be controlled by a program. For example, when the detection component detects that the air guide valve component 3 is not installed in place, the steam generating device 4 in the steam cooking device 100 does not work to prevent high-temperature steam from being discharged from the first joint 101. When the detection component detects that the air guide valve component 3 is installed in place, the steam cooking device 100 can control the steam generating device 4 to generate steam according to cooking needs. The steam can be transported to the air guide channel 301 through the first joint 101, and further transported to the cooking cavity 202 through the second joint 201.

[0064] In a further embodiment of the present application, the detection component includes: a magnet and a reed switch.

[0065] The magnet is arranged in the housing 31, and the reed switch is installed on the base 1, and the reed switch can be turned on when the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place with the base 1. Therefore, the cooperation between the magnet and the reed switch can detect whether the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, a mounting portion 3114 is provided on the first bracket 311, and the mounting portion 3114 is used to install and fix the magnet to improve the detection accuracy of the detection component.

[0067] It should be noted that the specific structure of the mounting portion 3114 is not specifically limited herein, and can be constructed as a slot structure or a snap-on structure, etc., as long as it can meet the fixing requirements of the magnet.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting portion 3114 is disposed on one side of the first bracket 311 adjacent to the base 1 and is located at the bottom corner of the first bracket 311, so as to arrange the magnet in an area suitable for corresponding to the reed switch and suitable for avoiding the steam pipe. Of course, the arrangement position of the mounting portion 3114 in the housing 31 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the arrangement requirements of the pipe assembly, which is not specifically limited here.

[0069] It is understandable that the reed switch is a magnetically sensitive switch. When the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place, the magnetic field of the magnet will make the reed switch conduct; when the air guide valve assembly 3 is not assembled in place, the reed switch will not conduct. Therefore, whether the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place can be detected based on the conduction state of the reed switch.

[0070] It should be noted that the detection method of the detection component is not limited to this, and a micro switch may be provided on the base 1, and correspondingly, a trigger structure (such as a trigger rod, the housing 31 itself, etc.) may be provided on the housing 31. The micro switch may be triggered only when the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place, and at this time, whether the air guide valve assembly 3 is assembled in place may be detected based on the trigger state of the micro switch.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the base 1 includes: a first base body 11 and a second base body 12 .

[0072] The first seat body 11 is used to place the pot assembly 2 to support the pot assembly 2 , the second seat body 12 is connected to the first seat body 11 , and the second seat body 12 is used to accommodate the steam generating device 4 , and the first joint 101 is arranged on the top of the second seat body 12 .

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second seat body 12 includes a seat body 121 and a top cover 122, the top cover 122 is detachably mounted on the seat body 121, and the top cover 122 is used to cooperate with the seat body 121 to form a cavity, and the cavity is used to accommodate the steam generating device 4. The second joint 201 is arranged on the top cover 122, and when the second joint 201 needs to be cleaned, the top cover 122 can be removed from the seat body 121.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the steam cooking device 100 further includes a water tank 13, which is mounted on the base 1 and connected to the steam generating device 4. The water tank 13 is used to store liquid medium so as to transport the liquid medium to the steam generating device 4 through the water tank 13. The liquid medium is usually water.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sink 1211 is provided on the seat body 121 , and the sink 1211 is used to place the water tank 13 so that the water tank 13 can be arranged on the machine base 1 , so as to facilitate connecting the water tank 13 with the steam generator 41 arranged in the second seat body 12 .

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in the present application, the water tank 13 is arranged in a U shape, and the shape of the sink 1211 is adapted to the shape of the water tank 13. The U-shaped opening of the water tank 13 is suitable for avoiding the top cover 122 and the air guide valve assembly 3 to prevent the water tank 13 from interfering with the air guide valve assembly 3. It should be noted that the capacity, i.e., the size, of the water tank 13 can be designed according to the use requirements.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning portion 1212 is provided on the sink 1211 , and the positioning portion 1212 can be positioned and matched with the bottom of the water tank 13 to improve the connection reliability between the water tank 13 and the second seat body 12 .

[0078] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The bottom of the water tank 13 is provided with a positioning flange 133 extending downward, the positioning portion 1212 is constructed as a positioning notch, the positioning notch is provided at the edge of the sink 1211, and the positioning flange 133 can be positioned and matched with the positioning notch.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the water tank 13 includes a water tank body 131 and a water tank cover 132. The water tank body 131 has a water storage tank that is open upward, and liquid medium can be stored in the water storage tank. The water tank cover 132 is provided on the water tank body 131 to cover the open end of the water storage tank through the water tank cover 132 to prevent the liquid medium from being exposed and contaminated.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, a water outlet is provided on the water tank body 131, and the water outlet is used to supply liquid medium to the steam generating device 4. Figure 3 The water outlet can be arranged on the bottom wall of the water tank body 131 so as to connect the water outlet to the steam generating device 4 located in the second seat body 12 through a pipeline structure.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the steam generating device 4 includes: a steam generator 41 and a liquid pump 42, the gas outlet end of the steam generator 41 is connected to the first joint 101, and the liquid pump 42 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the steam generator 41 and is used to pump liquid medium to the steam generator 41.

[0082] Reference Figure 3 The liquid pump 42 is connected between the water tank 13 and the steam generator 41. The liquid medium in the water tank 13 can be pumped to the steam generator 41 through the liquid pump 42. The steam generator 41 can convert the liquid medium into high-temperature steam, and the high-temperature steam can further flow to the first interface through the connecting pipeline.

[0083] It should be noted that by adjusting the rate at which the liquid medium is pumped by the liquid pump 42 and the heating power of the steam generator 41, the newly generated steam in the steam generator 41 can be further heated, that is, the temperature of the steam delivered by the steam generator 41 to the first joint 101 side can be further increased, and steam with a temperature higher than 100°C can be obtained, thereby further improving the cooking efficiency of the ingredients.

[0084] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pot assembly 2 includes: a pot cover 21, a steaming plate 22 and a water receiving tray 23, the pot cover 21 has a downwardly open receiving groove, the steaming plate 22 is arranged below the pot cover 21 and is used to place food, the water receiving tray 23 is arranged below the steaming plate 22, and the water receiving tray 23 is arranged on the machine base 1.

[0085] The pot cover 21 is open downward, and the steaming plate 22 can be arranged at the open end of the pot cover 21 to define a cooking cavity 202 between the steaming plate 22 and the pot cover 21, and steam can be delivered to the food on the steaming plate 22 through the second joint 201 on the top of the pot cover 21. Furthermore, a water receiving tray 23 is arranged below the steaming plate 22 and is used to receive condensed water so as to collect and process the condensed water in a unified manner.
