AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When cooking with steam, the cooling fan takes away too much steam and cannot recover the water and waste heat in it, resulting in large energy consumption and easy to make the surrounding environment humid, which is not conducive to the maintenance of kitchen sanitary conditions.

Method used

A steam condensation device is designed, including a condensation box, which is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity. The inner cavity is in communication with the cooling fan, and the outer cavity is in communication with the exhaust joint. Water vapor is input to the inner cavity through the steam discharge outlet to condense. The condensed water flows back to the inner vessel with the exhaust joint, and the remaining water vapor is discharged with the airflow of the cooling fan, realizing the effective condensation and recovery of water vapor.

Benefits of technology

Through this device, most of the water vapor is left in the outer cavity after condensation and flows back to the exhaust joint, greatly reducing the outer discharge of the water vapor, realizing the recycling of condensate water, reducing energy consumption, and improving the humidity of the kitchen environment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steam boxes and steam ovens, in particular to a steam condensing device. Background Art

[0002] When a steamer or steam oven uses steam for cooking, the water in the water box is continuously evaporated through an evaporating plate or an external evaporator, thereby providing hot steam to the inner pot to cook the food.

[0003] In this process, due to the continuous input of steam, if no channel for discharging steam to the outside is provided, the internal pressure will become increasingly greater. Therefore, a steam discharge pipe / hole is generally provided on the side or top of the steam box.

[0004] The existing treatment method generally sets a cooling fan on the top to blow the hot steam of the steam oven directly to the front when it is working; some people blow the hot steam into the insulation cavity of the door body through the cooling fan, and then collect it into the waste water box / trough below through the insulation cavity.

[0005] However, the above method consumes a lot of energy because the cooling fan takes away too much steam and cannot recover the water and waste heat therein. It also easily makes the surrounding environment humid, which is not conducive to the maintenance of kitchen hygiene conditions.

[0006] Therefore, the inventor conducted further research and developed a steam condensation device, which resulted in the present invention. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to provide a steam condensing device which can recycle condensed water.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0009] A steam condensing device comprising

[0010] The condensation box is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity. The inner cavity is connected to the cooling fan, and the outer cavity is connected to the exhaust joint. The inner cavity and the outer cavity are connected through a steam exhaust port. The steam exhaust port is arranged at the top of the inner cavity, and the exhaust joint is arranged at the bottom of the outer cavity.

[0011] Water vapor is input through the exhaust joint of the outer cavity, and then enters the inner cavity through the steam exhaust port at the top of the inner cavity. During this process, most of the water vapor condenses and remains in the outer cavity, and flows back to the inner tank through the exhaust joint. The remaining small amount of water vapor is discharged with the airflow of the cooling fan, which greatly reduces the discharge of water vapor and realizes the recycling of condensed water.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner cavity and the outer cavity are isolated from each other by a shelf and an air duct enclosure. The air duct enclosure is arranged on the shelf, and the steam outlet is arranged on the top of the air duct enclosure.

[0013] Furthermore, the water vapor coming out of the exhaust joint is restricted by the shelf, passes from below the two sides of the air duct enclosure, and then enters the inner cavity through the steam exhaust port at the top of the air duct enclosure.

[0014] Furthermore, the condensation box is arranged to be tilted as a whole, and the position of the exhaust joint is the relatively low point of the condensation box.

[0015] The tilted condensate box allows for easy recovery of condensed water.

[0016] Furthermore, the steam outlet is a rectangular structure, which is at the end away from the cooling fan.

[0017] Furthermore, a folded edge is provided on the side of the steam outlet, and the folded edge is bent upward from the inner cavity.

[0018] The folded edge can prevent condensed water from directly entering the inner cavity.

[0019] After adopting the above scheme, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] The discharge of water vapor is reduced, the impact on the surrounding environment is reduced, and the recycling of condensed water is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a steam condensation device comprises a condensation box 1 , a cooling fan 3 is arranged on the side of the condensation box 1 , and the wind blown by the cooling fan 3 passes through the condensation box 1 .

[0032] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , after removing the cooling fan 3, it can be seen that the condensation box 1 is provided with an exhaust joint 2 below the inlet of the cooling fan 3. The channel connected to the cooling fan 3 is the inner cavity, which is the air passage of the cooling fan 3; and the space between the inner cavity and the outer wall of the condensation box 1 is the outer cavity, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 From the angle shown, it can be seen that a rectangular steam outlet 131 is opened at the top of the inner cavity, and the water vapor entering the steam exhaust joint 2 can enter the inner cavity from the top of the inner cavity through the outer cavity (i.e., the two sides outside the inner cavity).

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the condensation box 1 includes a semi-enclosed shell 11 and a cover plate 12 , and the inner cavity is mainly composed of an air duct enclosure 13 and a shelf 14 ; the steam outlet 131 is substantially arranged on the top of the air duct enclosure 13 .

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the entire condensation box 1 is inclined at a certain angle, that is, the exhaust joint 2 is located at the lowest point of the outer cavity and is relatively located below the cooling fan 3, and the steam exhaust port 131 is located at the other end of the cooling fan 3, and its side is provided with two upwardly bent edges 132, which are used to prevent the condensed water condensed above from flowing into the inner cavity, and the condensed water is returned to the exhaust joint 2 through the inclined setting.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, after the water vapor enters from the exhaust joint 2, it moves to both sides under the shelf 14, passes through the gap between the air duct enclosure 13 and the bottom of the condensation box 1, and then moves upward from both sides, and finally enters the inner cavity from the steam outlet 131 at the top of the inner cavity, and is discharged by the airflow driven by the cooling fan 3; during this period, the water vapor in the water vapor turns into condensed water and remains in the outer cavity, and eventually flows back to the exhaust joint 2 due to the inclined setting to complete recovery.

[0036] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model. At the same time, all words such as "upper, lower, left, right, middle" involved in the present utility model are for reference only and are not absolutely limiting. Any non-substantial changes made using the present utility model shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
