Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment, in particular to a multifunctional accessory for cooking equipment and a steaming oven. Background Art
[0002] A steam oven is a cooking device that has both baking and steaming functions. When using the steaming function, the inner pot needs to be well sealed to prevent the exhaust steam from being greater than the intake steam, which causes difficulty in heating. When using the baking function, the inner pot needs to have good exhaust performance to exhaust excess steam, which is conducive to baking food. It can be seen that the steaming function and the baking function are somewhat contradictory.
[0003] To solve the above problems, when the baking function is used, a motor is used to push the door, so that a certain gap is left between the door assembly and the inner pot, and the moisture in the inner pot is discharged through the gap. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL202120249176.6 (authorization announcement number CN215502531U) discloses a cooking device and an integrated stove with a door-top dehumidification function. However, this method has a high manufacturing cost, and there is no prompt during the door opening process, which can easily cause burns to people. In addition, another exhaust port in addition to the conventional exhaust port can be added to the inner pot, and the exhaust port can be opened and closed by a valve or a wax motor to control the humidity in the inner pot. However, adding an opening to the inner pot will affect the sealing of the inner pot, and the structure is complex, and the manufacturing success rate is relatively high.
[0004] Furthermore, the cooking time set by the program is the average time required for cooking. When cooking food that requires high time control, a timer is needed to assist in timing, which is troublesome to operate. In addition, in daily life, the steam oven is placed on the kitchen countertop and is completely exposed to the kitchen environment. The outer surface of the steam oven is generally undecorated, making the entire kitchen environment slightly monotonous. Summary of the invention

[0036] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a steam oven comprises a box body 1 with an opening at the front side and a door body 2 for covering the opening of the box body 1, wherein the lower end of the door body 2 is rotatably connected to the box body 1.
[0037] Furthermore, the steam oven is provided with a multifunctional accessory 3, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the multifunctional accessory 3 includes a humidity control unit 31, a timing unit 32 and a decoration unit 33. The humidity control unit 31 includes a humidity control seat 4. In the baking mode, the humidity control seat 4 can form an exhaust gap 7 between the door body 2 and the box body 1 of the cooking device for the moisture in the inner pot (not shown) to be discharged. The timing unit 32 includes a shell 5, and the humidity control seat 4 is installed on the outer surface of the shell 5. The shell 5 is provided with a connecting portion 51 for connecting with the outer surface of the box body 1 of the cooking device. The decoration unit 33 includes an ornament 6, which is installed on the shell 5.
[0038] As can be seen from the above, the multifunctional accessory 3 in the utility model includes a humidity control unit 31, a timing unit 32 and a decoration unit 33, so that the multifunctional accessory 3 has multiple functions such as humidity control, timing and decoration at the same time, and the humidity control unit 31 can form an exhaust gap 7 for the moisture in the inner pot to be discharged between the door body 2 and the box body 1 of the cooking device through the humidity control seat 4 in the baking mode.

[0042] Furthermore, the ornament 6 is fixed on the top surface of the housing 5, and the ornament 6 has a front side 6A and a back side 6B of different shapes, and the humidity control seat 4 is arranged along the front and back directions of the ornament 6. Thus, the ornament 6 can play a better decorative role, and no matter whether the ornament 6 is placed on the front side 6A or the back side 6B, the corresponding partition block 42 on the humidity control seat 4 can be arranged between the door body 2 and the box body 1 to form the moisture discharge gap 7.
[0043] Furthermore, the connection portion 51 is located below the back surface 6B of the ornament 6, and the connection portion 51 can be connected to the outer surface of the box body 1 by magnetic attraction. This facilitates the connection between the multifunctional accessory 3 and the box body 1, and facilitates the connection of the multifunctional accessory 3 to the outer surface of the box body 1 (such as Figure 6 As shown). Further, the connecting portion 51 includes a boss 511 protruding from the outer side of the housing 5, and a mounting groove (not shown) is recessed on the boss 511, and a magnet block 512 is embedded in the mounting groove. In this way, the multifunctional accessory 3 can be connected to the outer surface of the box body 1 through the magnetic connection between the magnet block 512 and the box wall (metal material) of the box body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the magnet blocks 512 are three and are arranged at intervals in the shape of a regular triangle.
[0044] Furthermore, the multifunctional accessory 3 has a central axis surface, which coincides with the central axis surface of the humidity control seat 4.
