[0024] The cooking machine comprises a housing 200 , a frame, a cooking cavity 1 mounted on the frame, a frying pan device 100 , a pot cover device (not shown in the figure) and a material discharge device 110 , wherein the cooking cavity 1 is arranged in the housing 200 .

[0025] The structures of the cooking chamber 1 are preferably the following two:

[0026] 1) A feeding port is provided on the top surface of the cooking cavity 1, and a feeding cavity 2 is provided above the feeding port and communicated with the feeding cavity 2. The feeding cavity 2 is used to install the feeding device 110. An entrance is provided on the top of the feeding cavity 2 for loading the feeding device 110 into or taking it out of the feeding cavity 2. A top cover 120 is hinged on the rear crossbeam of the frame. When the top cover 120 covers the top of the cavity 2, the entrance can be sealed. The top surface of the top cover 120 constitutes the top surface of the housing 200. The food contained in the feeding device 110 is put into the wok of the wok device 100 arranged in and below the cooking cavity 1 through the feeding port (at this time, the wok mouth faces upwards);

[0027] The front of the cooking chamber 1 is open (with Figure 1 The paper surface where the cooking cavity 1 and the material discharging cavity 2 are located is a reference direction, the direction pointing to the lower left is the front, and the direction pointing to the upper right is the rear, the same below). A machine door 130 is hinged on the front vertical beam of the frame, and the machine door 130 can close the opening. When the top cover 120 and the machine door 130 are closed, the cooking cavity 1 and the material discharging cavity 2 form a closed space, and the material discharging device 110, the frying pan device 100 and the pot cover device complete the corresponding cooking action in the closed space;

[0028] 2) (not shown in the figure) the cooking cavity has only one front opening, the feeding device 110, the wok device 100 and the pot cover device are all installed in the cooking cavity, the feeding device 110 is installed above the cooking cavity, the wok device 100 is located below the feeding device 110, and one or two machine doors are hinged on the front vertical beam of the frame (when there are two machine doors, the two machine doors are arranged up and down, the upper machine door is used to close the open area facing the feeding device 110, and the machine door located on the lower side closes the remaining open areas). When the machine door is in a closed state, the cooking cavity becomes a closed space, and the feeding device 110, the wok device 100 and the pot cover device complete the corresponding cooking actions in the closed space.

[0029] A guide port 4 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the cooking cavity 1 of the above two structures to collect water flowing to the bottom of the cooking cavity 1 (for example, when cleaning a frying pan, the water after washing the pan is discharged to the outside of the cooking cavity 1 through the guide port 4).

[0030] The wok device 100 includes a protective shell, a heating device and a wok arranged in the protective shell from the outside to the inside. The heating device provides heat for the wok to heat the food in the wok. A supporting shaft is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the protective shell. The protective shell is suspended and overlapped on the corresponding side wall of the cooking cavity 1 through the supporting shaft. Driven by the supporting shaft, the protective shell, the wok and the heating device are flipped to a set work station with the axis of the supporting shaft as the axis. The utility model preferably includes the following work stations: a material unloading position (the wok mouth faces directly upward), a wok washing position (the wok mouth faces the wok washing nozzle installed on the rear side wall of the cooking cavity 1), a cooking position (the wok mouth faces the pot cover) and a dish serving position (the wok mouth faces the bottom of the cooking cavity 1). A driving device is installed at the bottom of the wok, and the driving device can drive the wok to rotate around the central axis of the wok.

[0031] The pot cover device is installed on the rear wall of the cooking cavity 1, and the pot cover can be closed on the pot mouth to cooperate with the wok to cook dishes. For example, the seasoning device of the cooking machine (not shown in the figure) delivers the seasoning required for the dish into the wok through the delivery pipe arranged on the pot cover, and the smoke generated when the wok is cooking is discharged into the oil fume treatment device through the exhaust pipe on the pot cover for treatment.

[0032] When the cooking machine starts cooking, the wok is placed at the material discharge position, and the material discharge device 110 drops the food in the wok into the wok. Then, the wok cooks the dish with the cooperation of the pot cover. After that, the wok is turned over to the dish discharge position, and the food in the pot falls along the wall of the wok to an empty plate placed under the pot mouth. Then, the wok cleaning program can be started as needed, thereby completing the cooking task of a dish. In this process, the various components of the wok are compactly distributed, clearly divided into tasks, and cooperate with each other.

[0033] The main feature of the utility model is that the space used for cooking dishes and washing dishes does not interfere with each other, as follows:

[0034] During the process from receiving ingredients to serving dishes, the cooking cavity 1 is divided into two spaces, an upper cavity and a lower cavity, based on the position of the wok mouth. When the wok is in the material loading position, the cooking position and the pot washing position, the wok mouth is in the upper cavity, and the lower cavity is a space for the wok to be turned over to serve dishes and for the user to place a plate to receive dishes in the wok. When the wok is turned down to the serving position, the wok mouth is located in the lower cavity.

[0035] When the wok is out of the dish and the pot mouth is turned over to other workstations, the lower cavity becomes an idle space. Based on this, the utility model reuses the lower cavity when it is idle on the basis of the above-mentioned cooking cavity 1 structure and the layout of various components of the cooking machine. Specifically, a quick insertion structure and a cleaning and drying device are added in the lower cavity. When it is necessary to wash tableware, an external support basket 3 containing tableware to be washed can be quickly installed on the quick insertion structure and placed in the lower cavity. The cleaning and drying device can wash and dry the tableware, and before the wok starts cooking again Before cooking, the basket 3 can be taken out from the lower cavity, so that the lower cavity becomes the space for serving dishes after cooking. The utility model does not adopt the method of expanding the volume of the cooking cavity 1 to provide additional installation space to achieve the function of washing and drying dishes. Instead, the original lower cavity for serving dishes of the wok is used as the space for placing the basket 3 when it is idle, so as to make full use of the effective space of the lower cavity, so that the cooking machine has both the functions of cooking and washing and drying dishes without interfering with each other, effectively improving the user experience and the space utilization rate of the lower cavity.

[0036] 1. Basket 3

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support basket 3 is a hollow bracket having a recess for placing tableware, and a plurality of partitions are provided in the recess for dividing the recess into a plurality of areas, so that different types of tableware, such as chopsticks, knives and forks, spoons and dishes can be organized in corresponding areas for easy retrieval, and dishes of different sizes can also be placed in the support basket 3 in a non-overlapping manner, so as to increase the spraying and drying range of the washing and drying device, thereby improving the washing and drying efficiency.

[0038] 2. Quickly insert structure

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the quick insertion structure is composed of a support platform 11 and a roller 31.

[0040] The support platform 11 is divided into a left support platform and a right support platform of the same structure and symmetrically arranged. The left and right support platforms 11 are preferably long strips extending from front to back and arranged on the left and right walls of the bottom of the lower cavity, and the horizontal distance between the left and right support platforms 11 is greater than the maximum outer diameter of the wok. The left and right support platforms 11 are used to position the roller 31 and serve as a moving track for the roller 31. The upper surface is preferably a plane or a downwardly concave arc surface, and the cross-sectional shape is a rectangle or a right-angled trapezoid with a straight top edge, or a rectangle or a right-angled trapezoid with a downwardly concave arc top edge.

[0041] There are several rollers 31. Preferably, three rollers 31 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the support basket 3, respectively. The rollers 31 on the left and right sides are symmetrically arranged and the three rollers 31 on the same side are arranged in a front-to-back interval. The central axis holes of the rollers 31 are respectively connected to the mounting shafts arranged on the corresponding left or right sides, so that the rollers 31 are installed at the lower position of the midline of the left and right sides, so that when the rollers 31 carry the support basket 3 and are placed between the left support platform and the right support platform, the lower part of the support basket 3 is placed below the top surface of the left and right support platforms 11, so as to make full use of the space occupied by the height of the left and right support platforms, and there is a gap between the bottom of the support basket 3 and the bottom panel 12 of the lower cavity;

[0042] When the roller 31 carrying the tray basket 3 containing the dishes to be washed is rolled from front to back along the corresponding support platform 11 until the tray basket 3 is completely pushed into the lower cavity, the tray basket 3 is quickly and stably placed in the lower cavity. After the dishes are washed, the tray basket 3 is gently pulled forward to make the roller 31 roll forward so that the tray basket 3 can be easily taken out. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0043] 3. Cleaning and drying device

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the washing and drying device includes a spraying component for spraying water on tableware and a drying component for drying the washed tableware.

[0045] 1) Spray assembly

[0046] The spray assembly includes a plurality of spray heads arranged on the cooking cavity wall and the bottom of the lower cavity. The spray heads are preferably arranged in the following two ways:

[0047] The first one:

[0048] Some of the nozzles (called first nozzles 7) are installed on the wall of the cooking cavity 1 and connected to the water supply pipe outside the cooking cavity, and another part of the nozzles (called second nozzles 8) are installed on the spray arm 5 and connected to the water tank 6 arranged in the interlayer space between the cooking cavity and the cooking machine housing 200.

[0049] The first nozzle 7 is used to spray clean water (referred to as clean water) downward to the basket 3 to wash the dishes. The number of the first nozzles 7 is preferably 2 to 4. When the number is 2, it is preferably arranged at the upper position of the left and right walls of the lower cavity with one first nozzle 7 each. When the number is 4, it is preferably arranged at the left and right walls of the upper and lower cavities with one first nozzle 7 each. The first nozzle 7 can preferably rotate 360° in the plane where the corresponding side wall is located to effectively increase the area of ​​the dishes sprayed with clean water, so that the cleaning is more comprehensive, and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity can also be cleaned while the dishes are being cleaned.

[0050] When the first nozzle 7 is turned on, the clean water sprayed therefrom sprays on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 1 and the tableware and then flows into the water tank 6 from the guide port 4 (referred to as clean water). The first nozzle 7 supplies water to the water tank 6 in this way, and the clean water can be directly discharged out of the cooking cavity 1 from the drain port 67 on the water tank 6 as needed or recycled. The recycling method is: the clean water is pressed toward the spray arm 5 through the water outlet on the water tank 6, and is sprayed by the second nozzle 8 onto the tableware in the basket 3 to clean the tableware. Afterwards, the clean water flows back into the water tank 6 again and can be discharged or recycled as needed by the user.

[0051] A plurality of second spray heads 8 are arranged in series on the spray arm 5 . The spray arm 5 is installed in the lower cavity and placed between the support basket 3 and the bottom panel 12 of the lower cavity.

[0052] The spray arm 5 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and is composed of a support plate and a top cover sealedly connected to the support plate, forming a cavity through which water can flow. A water inlet end extending downward and having an axial channel communicating with the cavity is provided in the middle area of ​​the bottom surface of the support plate.

[0053] The structures of the water storage tank 6 of the present invention are preferably the following two, and the installation methods of the spray arm 5 and the water storage tank 6 are specifically as follows:

[0054] a. The first structure

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outer contour of the water storage tank 6 is circular, and it is composed of a box body 62 and a cover plate 61 sealed and fixed to the box body 62. The box body 62 has a water collecting chamber for collecting water flowing down from the diversion port 4.

[0056] The guide port 4 is a circular hole. In order to connect the water collecting chamber with the guide port 4, a circular water inlet channel 65 which is connected to the water collecting chamber is provided in the center of the cover plate 61. Correspondingly, a base plate 9 which is fixed to or integrally formed with the lower chamber and has a hollow cylindrical outer contour is provided on the guide port 4. The base plate 9 is coaxially arranged with the guide port 4, and its top edge is sealed and connected to the hole wall of the guide port 4. Its bottom edge extends radially with a ring edge 91, and the inner edge of the ring edge 91 encloses a central hole. When the cover plate 61 and the ring edge 91 are fixed together, the water inlet channel 65 is coaxial with the central hole and connected to each other. Preferably, the water inlet channel 65 is honeycomb-shaped, which has a filtering effect on impurities such as food residues or fallen ingredients generated in the cooking chamber 1, so that there are no impurities in the water collecting chamber to prevent impurities from blocking the flow of water in the water collecting chamber, and at the same time, it is convenient for users to remove impurities to the outside of the cooking chamber 1.

[0057] The water outlet on the water storage tank 6 is connected to the water inlet end of the spray arm 5, and the water outlet cylinder is divided into a lower cylinder 64 and an upper cylinder 63 which are coaxially arranged and connected up and down. The bottom of the lower cylinder 64 is sealed and installed at the bottom of the water collecting chamber, and its top extends upward and connects with the bottom of the upper cylinder 63 arranged in the center of the water inlet channel 65. The top end surface of the upper cylinder 63 is placed on the bottom panel 12 of the lower chamber. The lower cylinder 64 and the upper cylinder 63 are provided with an axial water outlet channel, which is connected to the water outlet 66 arranged on the side wall of the bottom of the water collecting chamber through a water pipe. A booster pump is connected to the water pipe, and the water outlet is the top opening of the upper cylinder 63.

[0058] A drain port 67 is also provided on the bottom side wall of the water collecting chamber. The drain port 67 is connected to a drain pipe through an electromagnetic water valve. The drain outlet of the drain pipe is placed outside the cooking machine. When the water in the water collecting chamber is no longer suitable for recycling, the electromagnetic water valve opens and the waste water is discharged from the drain pipe.

[0059] The advantage of this structure is that the water outlet cylinder on the water tank for discharging water is arranged in the space occupied by the water inlet channel 65, which has a compact structure and saves space.

[0060] In this structure, the installation method of the spray arm 5 and the water storage tank 6 is:

[0061] A circular window hole coaxially arranged with the water inlet end is provided on the top cover of the spray arm 5, and a hollow column with external threads and communicated with the cavity of the spray arm 5 is inserted in the window hole and the water inlet end, and the upper end of the hollow column is placed outside the window hole, and a circular upper limit disk with a diameter larger than the diameter of the window hole is screwed on the upper end; a circular lower limit disk with a diameter larger than the diameter of the water inlet end is screwed on the outer wall of the hollow column located below the water inlet end, and the lower end of the hollow column is threadedly connected and fixed to the upper inner wall of the water outlet cylinder, so that the spray arm 5 and the water storage tank 6 are installed together. Sealing rings are movably provided between the upper limit plate and the top cover of the spray arm 5, and between the lower limit plate and the support plate of the spray arm 5. The spray arm 5 is clamped between the two sealing rings and when the water pressure in the water collecting chamber flows to the water outlet cylinder and is pumped into the spray arm 5 through the hollow column, under the action of the water pressure, the spray arm 5 rotates around the axis of the hollow column in the plane where the bottom panel 12 of the lower chamber is located. The above-mentioned sealing rings play a role in waterproofing and reducing the friction between the spray arm 5 and the upper and lower limit plates during rotation.

[0062] The second nozzles 8 are arranged at intervals on the top cover, and the water spraying angles of all the second nozzles 8 are directed upward to the basket 3. In order to increase the range of spraying the tableware and make the cleaning more thorough, the spraying angles of some second nozzles 8 are different. When the water pump in the water collecting chamber flows to the second nozzles 8, the water flows onto the tableware at angles toward the upper front, upper rear, upper left and upper right.

[0063] b. The second structure

[0064] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer contour of the water tank 6 is a cube, which is preferably composed of an integrally formed water storage chamber 68 and a box cover 69 covering the top opening of the water storage chamber 68. The box cover 69 is in contact with and locked to the bottom panel 12 of the lower chamber, thereby fixing the water tank 6 below the lower chamber and at the front side.

[0065] A rectangular opening is provided on the front half of the box cover 69. Correspondingly, the guide port 4 is rectangular in shape and slightly larger than the opening. When the water storage tank 6 is installed in place, the opening is directly opposite to the guide port 4. A recess is provided around the opening, and a water inlet net 54 is set on the recess. The outer edge of the water inlet net 54 is in contact with the hole wall of the guide port 4, with a waterproof ring provided therebetween. The water inlet net 54 is honeycomb-shaped, which is used to filter impurities such as food residues or fallen ingredients generated in the cooking cavity 1. The water inlet net 54 is also the water inlet channel of the water storage tank 6. The water in the lower cavity flows into the water storage cavity 68 through the water inlet channel for storage so as to be recycled as needed or discharged from the drain port 67.

[0066] A water outlet is provided in the middle of the rear half of the box cover, and the water outlet is connected to the spray arm 5. The water in the water storage chamber 68 can be pressed into the spray arm 5 through the water outlet for circulation.

[0067] The water outlet is connected to the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe arranged in the water storage chamber 68, and the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet 66 arranged on the bottom side wall of the water storage chamber 68. A booster pump is connected to the water outlet pipe, and the water in the water storage chamber 68 is pumped from the water outlet to the water inlet end of the spray arm 5 under the action of the booster pump;

[0068] The drain port 67 is provided on the other side wall of the bottom of the water storage chamber 68 opposite to the water outlet 66. The drain port 67 is connected to a drain pipe through an electromagnetic water valve. The drain outlet of the drain pipe is placed outside the cooking machine. When the water in the water storage chamber 68 is no longer suitable for recycling, the electromagnetic water valve is opened and the waste water in the water chamber is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0069] The advantage of this structure is that the water inlet channel 65 is separated from the setting position of the spray arm 5, which makes it easy to take out the water inlet net 54. The user can quickly take out the water inlet net 54 filtered with impurities such as food residues from the lower cavity for cleaning.

[0070] In this structure, the installation method of the spray arm 5 and the water tank 6 is:

[0071] The spray arm 5 is connected to the water outlet by a sleeve 51 and a collar 52 for quick assembly and disassembly. The sleeve 51 is provided with a slot 511 , and the collar 52 is provided with a buckle that can be adapted to engage with the slot 511 .

[0072] The sleeve 51 is arranged on the box cover 69 and is preferably integrally formed with the box cover 69. The outer contour of the sleeve 51 is cylindrical and has a hollow inner cavity. The lower end surface of the sleeve 51 is provided with a water hole that is coaxial with and communicates with the water outlet. The upper end of the sleeve 51 is open and extends upward and passes through a through hole arranged on the bottom panel 12 of the lower cavity. A waterproof ring is provided between the through hole and the outer wall of the sleeve 51. The card slot 511 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 51. There are multiple card slots (preferably 3 in the present invention) and they are spaced apart in the circumferential direction.

[0073] The horizontal projection shape of the ring 52 is a circular ring, which is divided into an inner cylinder, an outer cylinder and a bridge ring connected between the outer circumferential wall of the inner cylinder and the inner circumferential wall of the outer cylinder. The buckles are arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the outer cylinder under the bridge ring. The number of buckles is the same as the number of the slots 511 and is spaced apart in the circumferential direction.

[0074] A locking ring 53 is also provided in the water inlet end of the spray arm 5 to prevent the spray arm 5 from being separated from the water outlet by the upward impact force when the water in the water storage chamber 68 is pressed upward toward the spray arm 5. The locking ring 53 is composed of an upper ring and a lower ring that are integrally formed and coaxial. The diameter of the lower ring is larger than the diameter of the upper ring and the diameter of the lower ring is smaller than the diameter of the hollow inner cavity of the sleeve 51. The upper ring and the lower ring have axial holes. The outer peripheral wall of the upper ring is provided with long strip-shaped protrusions. There are multiple protrusions and they are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction, corresponding to A ring platform extending radially inward is provided at the bottom edge of the water inlet end of the spray arm 5, and a plurality of convex strips evenly spaced in the circumferential direction and arranged axially are provided on the inner circumferential wall above the ring platform. The spray arm 5 and the locking ring 53 are connected together by placing each of the convex blocks on the upper ring on the ring platform between the corresponding two adjacent convex blocks, and the bottom edge of the water inlet end contacts the upper surface of the lower ring, and the convex strips and the convex blocks constrain each other to limit the relative rotation of the spray arm and the locking ring 53.

[0075] When installing the spray arms:

[0076] The sleeve 52 is mounted on the outer wall of the water inlet end of the spray arm 5. At this time, the support plate of the spray arm can be placed on the upper end surface of the sleeve 52. When the sleeve 52 is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 51, the sleeve 52 can abut the support plate to prevent the spray arm from moving downward. Then the locking ring 53 is connected to the spray arm. At this time, the lower ring of the locking ring 53 is placed below the inner cylinder. A sealing gasket 55 is also sandwiched between the lower ring and the inner cylinder. When the sleeve 52 is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 51, the inner cylinder can abut the lower ring to limit the upward movement of the spray arm 5. In this way, the spray arm 5, the sleeve 52 and the locking ring 53 are connected as a whole. The water inlet end, locking ring 53, sleeve 52 and sleeve 51 of the spray arm 5 are all coaxially arranged; then, the spray arm is installed between the support basket 3 and the bottom of the lower cavity by sleeve-shaped portions 521 on the sleeve 52 and the corresponding grooves 511 on the sleeve 51 being engaged with each other, wherein the locking ring 53 is placed in the sleeve 51 and a gap is left therebetween for the locking ring 53 to rotate freely, and a gap is left between the two ends of the spray arm and the cavity wall of the lower cavity for the spray arm to rotate freely in the lower cavity. When the water in the water storage chamber 68 enters the spray arm 5 through the water outlet, the axial hole on the locking ring 53 and the water inlet end in turn and is pressed toward the second nozzle 8, the force generated by the water spraying causes the spray arm 5 to rotate with the locking ring 53 around the axis of the sleeve 51, thereby effectively increasing the range of spraying the tableware for more thorough cleaning. The sealing gasket 55 plays a role in waterproofing and reducing the friction between the spray arm 5 and the sleeve 52 when rotating.

[0077] When disassembling, the spray arm 5 can be removed from the lower cavity by disengaging the buckle from the engagement with the slot 511 , which is very convenient.

[0078] The second nozzles 8 are arranged at intervals on the top cover, and the water spraying angles of all the second nozzles 8 are directed upward to the support basket 3. In order to increase the range of spraying the tableware, the spraying angles of some of the second nozzles 8 are different.

[0079] The preferred cleaning method corresponding to the first nozzle setting method is:

[0080] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, first, clean water is injected into the wok through the pot washing nozzle, and the heating device heats the clean water. The high-temperature steam generated during the heating process adheres to the surface of the tableware and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 1, which can not only remove the dirt and residue on the surface of the tableware, but also has the effect of sterilizing and disinfecting the tableware and the entire cooking cavity 1;

[0081] After the set time, the wok is turned over to the pot washing position and hot water is poured onto the tableware. After that, preferably, the wok can be turned over to the cooking position so that the pot cover is closed on the pot mouth to prevent the subsequent first nozzle 7 or second nozzle 8 from splashing water or stains on the tableware into the pot when spraying water, so as to ensure that the wok remains clean when the wok is cooked next time. The hot water flushes the softened dirt on the surface of the tableware into the water inlet channel 65 of the water storage tank 6 for filtration, and the hot water is collected in the water storage tank 6. The hot water is preferably circulated and sprayed onto the tableware through the second nozzle 8 for repeated cleaning to enhance the decontamination effect on the tableware and save water resources.

[0082] Afterwards, when the water in the water tank 6 is drained, the first nozzle 7 is turned on to allow clean water to rinse the tableware and then flow into the water cavity. The water in the water cavity can be recycled or directly discharged as needed. It is best to use the clean water sprayed by the first nozzle 7 to rinse the tableware for the last time.

[0083] The advantage of the above structure is that before the first nozzle 7 or the second nozzle 8 cleans the dishes, the frying pan device 100 of the cooking machine itself is used to generate high-temperature steam to pre-clean the dishes. The structure is simple and effectively improves the cleaning effect. At the same time, the existing components of the cooking machine are fully utilized and the functions of the cooking machine are enriched.

[0084] The second nozzle arrangement method: on the basis of connecting a plurality of nozzles to an external water supply pipe and the water storage tank 6 respectively as described in the above “first method”, a third nozzle connected to the steam generator is also arranged.

[0085] The steam generator is installed on a frame outside the cooking cavity 1, the water inlet of the steam generator is connected to the water supply device of the cooking machine, the third nozzle is connected to its steam outlet, and the third nozzle is preferably installed on the cavity wall of the lower cavity.

[0086] In this structure, the steam generator can replace the method of using a frying pan to heat water to generate steam for pre-cleaning the tableware mentioned in the above "first method". The steam generator transmits high-temperature steam to the cooking chamber 1 through the third nozzle to soften and sterilize the dirt on the tableware. Thereafter, the first nozzle 7 sprays clean water to rinse the tableware for the first time. The rinsed water flows into the water tank 6. Subsequently, the second nozzle 8 can recycle the water in the water tank 6 and spray it onto the tableware as needed. It is best to use the clean water sprayed by the first nozzle 7 to rinse the tableware for the last time.

[0087] By setting up a steam generator, the delivery volume and delivery time of high-temperature steam can be accurately controlled, with high efficiency and strong ability to soften dirt.

[0088] Preferably, in order to enhance the cleaning effect on the tableware, in the above two nozzle settings, a rapidly soluble solid or fluid detergent can be placed in the water tank 6, or a soluble cleaning block can be fixedly placed at the water outlet of the water tank 6 or the water inlet end of the spray arm 5, so that water with cleaning ingredients can be sprayed onto the tableware by the second nozzle 8.

[0089] 2) Drying components

[0090] The drying structure comprises a fan, a heating wire and an air outlet 10, wherein the fan and the heating wire are mounted on a frame, and the air outlet 10 is arranged on the cavity wall of the lower cavity.

[0091] After the nozzle cleans the tableware, hot air is delivered into the cooking cavity 1 through the air outlet 10 to dry the tableware, the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 1, the inner wall of the wok and the outer wall of the protective shell at high temperature. Alternatively, the heating wire can be turned off to deliver natural air into the cooking cavity 1 to achieve the drying effect.
