[0002] As users' diverse cooking needs increase, more and more kitchen appliances are added to the kitchen, including large kitchen appliances such as steam ovens and small kitchen appliances such as rice cookers and electric baking pans, which also makes the kitchen space more and more crowded and messy. In order to save kitchen space and facilitate the removal of cooked dishes, many people like to embed the steam oven into the sideboard and place it in the dining room. For example, the Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN202122041792.5 (authorization announcement number: CN215456574U) discloses a household sideboard frame structure and a sideboard, wherein the main frame of the sideboard includes: two groups of outer columns located at the four feet of the main frame and a beam structure for connecting the two groups of outer columns, and at least one group of inner columns is arranged inside the main frame in a direction parallel to the outer columns; each group of inner columns is correspondingly connected to the beam structure; each group of outer columns and each group of inner columns include: two column bodies arranged along the depth direction of the main frame; a storage space for placing meal preparation utensils is formed between adjacent groups of outer columns and groups of inner columns, and between adjacent groups of inner columns; at least one horizontal support frame is arranged in the storage space to move up and down along the column body, and the horizontal support frame divides each storage space into multiple storage rooms. The meal preparation utensils can be ovens.
[0003] However, there are still some problems with placing the steam oven on the sideboard: the steam exhausted from the steam oven during cooking will make the furniture in the restaurant damp; on the other hand, when the steam box door is opened after cooking, the user is easily sprayed with a large amount of steam, which poses a certain safety hazard.
[0004] Therefore, the existing sideboard system needs further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a dining sideboard system which can effectively improve the problem of dampness in restaurant furniture caused by steam exhaust from a steam oven in view of the current status of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a dining sideboard system, comprising:
[0007] The sideboard body has a plurality of storage chambers;
[0008] A steam oven, arranged in one of the storage chambers of the sideboard body, the steam oven having a cooking chamber;
[0009] It also includes a fan housing for sucking and discharging flue gas. The fan housing is also arranged in one of the storage chambers of the sideboard main body. The steam oven also has an air outlet communicating with the cooking chamber, and the fan housing is communicated with the air outlet of the steam oven through a first exhaust pipe.
[0010] As an improvement, the steam oven also has an air inlet communicating with the cooking chamber for external air to enter the cooking chamber. A first control valve for controlling the opening and closing of the air inlet is arranged at the air inlet, and a second control valve for controlling the opening and closing of the air outlet is arranged at the air outlet.

In addition, when the first control valve is closed, opening the fan and the second control valve can also create a negative pressure environment inside the steamer.
[0015] Considering the sideboard system, after the fan housing sucks and discharges, it will preferentially choose to discharge indoors to achieve internal circulation. A filter assembly for purifying the flue gas is also arranged inside the fan housing.
[0016] As an improvement, the fan housing also has an air outlet for exhausting air to the room.
[0017] As an improvement, the steam oven is installed in the storage chamber of the sideboard main body in an embedded installation manner.
[0018] To allow more independent cooking appliances to be placed and used, the sideboard further includes a cooking cabinet for placing cooking appliances. The blower box body is in fluid communication with the internal space of the cooking cabinet, and is used to suck and exhaust the fumes generated by the cooking appliances placed in the cooking cabinet during the cooking process.
[0019] The cooking cabinet can be used for storage. It can not only place daily dry goods, tableware and other items, but also place cooking appliances. Moreover, the cooking appliances placed in the storage chamber can be directly used for cooking operations. The blower box body can suck away the water vapor, oil fumes and other substances generated by the cooking appliances during cooking in the cooking cabinet, so as to avoid the internal wall surface of the cooking cabinet from being polluted and damaged. In this way, users do not need to move the cooking appliances back and forth, and the sideboard and the kitchen countertop are also cleaner, saving enough space for users to perform other operations such as cutting or cleaning.
[0020] As an improvement, the blower box body is connected to the internal space of the cooking cabinet through a second air duct.
[0021] To balance the negative pressure in the cooking cabinet, an auxiliary air inlet is provided on the front side plate of the cooking cabinet, which is in communication with the internal space of the cooking cabinet.
[0022] To be able to place multiple cooking appliances, a partition is provided inside the cooking cabinet, and the cooking cabinet is divided into at least two cooking areas for placing cooking appliances by a shelf. The auxiliary air inlets are provided on the front side plate of the cooking cabinet in the areas opposite to the respective cooking areas.
[0023] To facilitate the user to take and place cooking appliances or adjust the functions of the cooking appliances, the cooking cabinet is provided at the top of the sideboard main body and is configured as a lifting cabinet that can be lifted relative to the sideboard main body.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows: By providing a blower box body on the main body of the sideboard, the fumes generated during the cooking process of the steam oven can be sucked and exhausted in time, solving the steam problem when the user places the steam oven in the dining room and avoiding the dampness of the dining room furniture.

However, these terms are used here only for the convenience of description and are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed by the present utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to the directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
[0032] Figures 1 - 5 Shows a preferred embodiment of a sideboard system of the present utility model. The sideboard system includes a sideboard main body 10, a steam oven 20, and a blower box body 40. The sideboard main body 10 generally has a plurality of storage chambers 100, and the blower box body 40 can be arranged in one of the above storage chambers 100. The steam oven 20 of the present embodiment is installed in another storage chamber 100 through an embedded installation method. As Figure 1 shown, the blower box body 40 is located in the storage chamber 100 at the left top of the sideboard main body 10, and the steam oven 20 is arranged adjacent to the blower box body 40, specifically below the blower box body 40.
[0033] See Figure 5 , the steam oven 20 has a cooking chamber, an air outlet and an air inlet communicating with the cooking chamber. A first control valve 21 for controlling the opening and closing of the air inlet is provided at the air inlet, and a second control valve 22 for controlling the opening and closing of the air outlet is provided at the air outlet. Both the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 22 can adopt solenoid valves and are both electrically connected to the controller of the steam oven 20. The blower box body 40 is connected to the air outlet of the steam oven 20 through a first air pipe 31.
[0034] To expand the cooking functions of the steam oven 20, the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 22 cooperate with the fan housing 40 and have at least a first state, a second state, and a third state: in the first state, both the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 22 are closed; in the second state, the first control valve 21 is closed and the second control valve 22 is open; in the third state, both the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 22 are open. Specifically, when both the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 22 are closed, at this time, the steam oven 20 is in a sealed state. If steam continues to be generated inside the steam oven 20, the pressure inside the steam oven 20 can be made higher than the atmospheric pressure, and the steam temperature exceeds 100 °C, so that the cooking speed of the food can be accelerated and the taste of the food can be improved; when the first control valve 21 is closed and the second control valve 22 is open, the steam generated during the cooking process can be discharged into the fan housing through the air outlet valve, and then discharged into the room after purification; when the cooking is over, the fan housing, the first control valve 21, and the second control valve 22 can also be opened. At this time, the excess steam and heat after the cooking is over can be discharged, and normal temperature air can be replenished, which helps the food to cool quickly and prevents the risk of scalding caused by a large amount of steam overflowing when opening the door after the cooking is over and the damage to indoor furniture. In addition, when the first control valve 21 is closed, turning on the fan and the second control valve 22 can also create a negative pressure environment inside the steam box.
[0035] Considering the sideboard system, after the fan housing 40 sucks and discharges, it will preferentially choose to discharge indoors to achieve internal circulation. A filter assembly for purifying the flue gas is also provided inside the fan housing 40. The filter assembly can adopt existing Hepa and activated carbon filter elements. The fan housing 40 also has an air outlet 41, and the air outlet 41 is opened forward. After the flue gas is purified by the filter assembly, it can be discharged into the room.
[0036] The sideboard also includes a cooking cabinet 11 for placing cooking utensils. The above-mentioned cooking utensils refer to independently portable cooking utensils such as rice cookers and electric griddles. The air inlet of the fan housing 40 is in fluid communication with the internal space of the cooking cabinet 11 through the second air pipe 32. The above-mentioned cooking cabinet 11 can be used for storage. It can not only place daily dry goods, tableware and other items, but also place cooking utensils. Moreover, the cooking utensils placed in the storage chamber 100 can be directly used for cooking operations. The fan housing 40 can suck away the water vapor, oil fume, etc. generated when the cooking utensils are cooking in the cooking cabinet 11, so as to avoid the pollution and damage of the inner wall surface of the cooking cabinet 11. In this way, users do not need to move the cooking utensils back and forth, and the sideboard and the kitchen countertop are also cleaner, saving enough space and facilitating other operations such as cutting and washing for users.
[0037] The interior of the cooking cabinet 11 is provided with partitions and is divided into at least two cooking areas 110 for placing cooking utensils by shelves. In order to be able to place multiple cooking utensils, such asFigure 2 Two cooking zones 110 are arranged one above the other. Auxiliary air inlet openings 111 are provided in the front side plate of the cooking cabinet 11 in areas opposite to the respective cooking zones 110. During the operation of the cooking appliance, the fan system is started, and the auxiliary air inlet openings 111 can balance the negative pressure inside the cooking cabinet 11.
[0038] The cooking cabinet 11 is provided at the top of the sideboard main body 10 and is configured as a lifting cabinet capable of lifting relative to the sideboard main body 10. Specifically, link lifting mechanisms 12 can be provided on both the left and right sides of the cooking cabinet body. The link lifting mechanism 12 can adopt an existing parallelogram link mechanism to ensure that the cooking cabinet body remains horizontal during the lifting process. When it is necessary to take out or place the cooking appliance or adjust the functions of the cooking appliance, the cooking cabinet body can be lowered to a suitable height position to improve the user experience.
[0039] In this embodiment, by providing a fan box body 40 on the main body of the sideboard, the flue gas generated during the cooking process of the steam oven 20 can be timely sucked and discharged, solving the steam problem when the user places the steam oven 20 in the dining room and avoiding the dampness of the dining room furniture. At the same time, in cooperation with the opening and closing of the valves at the air inlet and outlet of the steam oven 20, the functions of the steam oven 20 are also expanded, which helps to enrich the cooking scenarios of the steam oven 20 and provides a more convenient operation experience and more delicious food for the user. The sideboard system is also provided with a cooking cabinet 11. The user moves a part of the cooking appliances in the kitchen into the cooking cabinet 11 of the sideboard, making the user's kitchen more spacious. Moreover, the user can directly use the cooking appliances on the sideboard for cooking, with convenient operation and simple storage, reducing or even eliminating the difficulties in the user's choice of cooking appliances. The direct cooking method inside the sideboard avoids the cumbersome process of the user taking out the cooking appliances when in use and moving them back into the cabinet for storage when not in use, and can be used and stored immediately, greatly improving the convenience of the user's storage and organization.
