[0029] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the present application first provides a condensation water box, including a water box body 10, and a condensation chamber 11 is provided on the top surface of the water box body 10; the water box body 10 is also provided with a steam inlet 111 connected to the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11 and an air flow inlet 112 connected to the side wall of the condensation chamber 11, the steam inlet 111 is connected to the inner tank, and the air flow inlet 112 is connected to the blowing structure; a baffle 113 is also provided inside the condensation chamber 11 and is located between the air flow inlet 112 and the steam inlet 111, the baffle 113 extends toward the top surface of the water box body 10, and the projection of the air flow inlet 112 along its own axial direction is completely located inside the baffle 113.
[0030] In the present application, a baffle 113 is provided inside the condensation chamber 11 to block the air flow inlet 112. Since the baffle 113 extends toward the top surface of the water box body 10, the air flow flowing into the condensation chamber 11 through the air flow inlet 112 can change direction under the guidance of the baffle 113, so that the air flow is directed toward the top opening of the condensation chamber 11, and the steam is discharged toward the top opening of the condensation chamber 11 after passing through the steam inlet 111 located on the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11. Therefore, the guiding effect of the baffle 113 on the air flow can prevent the air flow and steam from colliding, thereby improving the steam discharge efficiency.
[0031] In addition, the baffle 113 is located between the air flow inlet 112 and the steam inlet 111, and the projection of the air flow inlet 112 along its own axial direction is completely located within the baffle 113, so as to block the air flow and steam through the baffle 113, and ensure that the air flow discharged into the condensation chamber 11 along the air flow inlet 112 first contacts the baffle 113, and after changing the flow direction through the baffle 113, contacts the steam and carries the steam to be discharged upward, thereby further improving the smoothness of steam discharge and improving the steam discharge efficiency.
[0032] It should be noted that, although opening the airflow inlet 112 on the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11 can also prevent the collision of airflow and steam, most of the current multi-functional cooking equipment pursues space utilization and miniaturization, and therefore has greater restrictions on the internal pipeline design. This application is aimed at the situation where the airflow inlet 112 of the condensation water box is set on the side wall due to the spatial layout of other parts.
[0033] Please combine Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet 12 is formed between each side edge of the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensing chamber 11 where the air inlet 112 is located, and the area ratio of the air outlet 12 to the air inlet 112 ranges from 0.75 to 1.25.
[0034] It is not difficult to understand that if the total area of the air outlet 12 is too small relative to the air flow inlet 112, the air outlet 12 will have a significant throttling effect on the air flow, thereby affecting the carrying effect of the air flow on the steam; conversely, if the total area of the air outlet 12 is too large relative to the air flow inlet 112, it will cause the air flow velocity to drop significantly, which will also affect the carrying effect of the air flow on the steam.
[0035] By setting the area ratio of the air outlet 12 to the airflow inlet 112 to be in the range of 0.75 to 1.25, the airflow velocity and flow rate can be controlled within a suitable range to obtain a better steam guiding effect.
[0036] For details, please combine Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, two air outlets 12 are formed between the front and rear side edges of the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 , and one air outlet 12 is formed between the top side edge of the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 .
[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the airflow inlet 112 faces obliquely upward, and the angle between the axis of the airflow inlet 112 and the horizontal plane ranges from 5° to 45°.
[0038] It is not difficult to understand that the smaller the angle, that is, the closer the airflow inlet 112 is to the horizontal, it is not conducive to the baffle 113 to guide the airflow direction (the collision loss between the airflow and the baffle 113 is large), but the smaller the required height of the baffle 113, the more complete the mixing of the airflow and steam discharged through the air outlet 12 when the overall height of the condensate box is constant; conversely, the larger the angle, the more conducive it is for the baffle 113 to guide the airflow direction, but when the overall height of the condensate box is constant, the less complete the mixing of the airflow and steam discharged through the air outlet 12 is.
[0039] By controlling the angle range within the range of 5° to 45°, it is possible to take into account both the guiding effect on the airflow and the mixing effect of the airflow and steam, thereby obtaining a better steam guiding effect.
[0040] Please combine Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the projection of the baffle 113 along the vertical direction is M-shaped, and a portion of the projection of the baffle 113 along the vertical direction is in contact with the edge of the steam inlet 111 .
[0041] Compared with an ordinary flat plate, the baffle 113 projected in an M shape has a larger contact area between the airflow and the baffle 113, and the baffle 113 has a stronger airflow guiding effect. When the airflow flows out from the top air outlet 12 under the guidance of the baffle 113, the contact area between the airflow and the steam is larger, so as to obtain a better steam guiding effect.
[0042] Of course, the projection of the baffle 113 may also be other shapes, as long as the projection length of the baffle 113 is as long as possible when the area of the top air outlet 12 is constant so that there is a larger contact area between the airflow and the steam. This application does not make any further limitations here.
[0043] Please combine Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the condensation water box also includes a cover plate 20, which is covered on the water box body 10 to close the condensation chamber 11, and the cover plate 20 is provided with an exhaust port 21, and the sum of the areas of the air flow inlet 112 and the steam inlet 111 is less than or equal to the area of the exhaust port 21.
[0044] This arrangement can avoid the inflation of air inside the condensation chamber 11 causing downward pressure on the steam inlet 111, further improving the steam discharge smoothness of the condensation water box of the present application.
[0045] It should be noted that the area of the exhaust port 21 here refers to the total area of all the exhaust ports 21 on the cover plate 20 .
[0046] In some embodiments, the vertical distance between the top of the baffle 113 and the exhaust port 21 is greater than or equal to 1 cm.
[0047] If the distance between the top of the baffle 113 and the exhaust port 21 is too small, the airflow cannot fully contact the steam, that is, the airflow has a poor effect of carrying the steam. Therefore, by designing the distance between the top of the baffle 113 and the exhaust port 21 to be greater than or equal to 1 cm, it can be ensured that the airflow guided by the baffle 113 in this application is in full contact with the steam, thereby obtaining a better steam guiding effect.
[0048] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle 113 is disposed on the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11 , and there is a gap between the side of the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 where the airflow inlet 112 is located.
[0049] Part of the steam that enters the condensation chamber 11 through the steam inlet 111 is discharged upward, and the other part will condense in the condensation chamber 11 to form condensed water. The distance between the side of the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 is used to discharge the condensed water between the baffle 113 and the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 to prevent the accumulation of condensed water and avoid the condensed water from flowing back into the air flow inlet 112.
[0050] In some other embodiments, the baffle 113 is arranged on the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11, and the side of the baffle 113 is against the side wall of the condensation chamber 11 where the air flow inlet 112 is located. A water leakage hole is opened through the baffle 113 on one side close to the bottom wall of the condensation chamber 11, and the water leakage hole is located at the lower side of the air flow inlet 112, so as to discharge condensed water.
[0051] Of course, in some other embodiments, the baffle 113 may also be disposed on the side wall or other positions of the condensation chamber 11 , and this application does not make any further limitations here.
[0052] A second aspect of the present application provides a multifunctional cooking device, comprising a device body, an inner pot, an air blowing structure and the above-mentioned condensed water box, wherein the inner pot, the air blowing structure and the condensed water box are all arranged in the device body, and the inner pot and the air blowing structure are respectively connected to the condensed water box.
[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0054] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
