Detailed implementation manners

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0029] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a cooking device 100, as shown in combination with Figures 1 to 7 the figure, which includes a stove rack 1, a steam generator 2 fixed on the stove rack 1, a burner ring 3 formed on the stove rack 1, and a burner head assembly rotatably arranged on the burner ring 3.

[0030] Among them, a cleaning water pipe 24 is fixed on the tabletop of the stove rack 1; a sewage discharge pipe 25 communicating with the water receiving tank on the tabletop is fixed on one side of the stove rack 1 away from its tabletop; an exhaust pipe 26 is fixed on the top end of the stove rack 1; and a control button 27 is arranged on the side surface of the stove rack 1. Such a design can improve the functions of the cooking device so as to make its application range wider.

[0031] The burner head assembly includes a panel 4 rotatably arranged on the burner ring 3, a steam shunt device fixed on the panel 4 and located inside the burner ring 3, a proportional control valve fixed on the steam shunt device, and a condensate discharge device fixed on the panel 4 and not inside the burner ring 3. The condensate discharge device is used to discharge the condensate formed by condensing the steam in the steam shunt device; such a design can achieve steam shunting, proportional control and condensate discharge of the burner head assembly.

[0032] The steam shunt device includes an input pipe 5, a rotary joint 6 fixed to the panel 4 and communicating with the input pipe 5, a steam collecting pipe 7 fixed to the panel 4 and communicating with the rotary joint 6, a plurality of shunt pipes 8 fixed to the steam collecting pipe 7 and communicating with the steam collecting pipe 7, a plurality of solenoid valves 8 respectively fixed on each shunt pipe 8, a plurality of condensate cups 10 fixed to the panel 4 and respectively communicating with the plurality of shunt pipes 8, and a plurality of photosensitive sensors 11 fixed to the panel 4 and respectively located on one side of each condensate cup 10. The input pipe 5 is connected to the steam generator 2 through a proportional control valve. A lid 12 is provided in the area of the panel 4 corresponding to each condensate cup 10. The lid 12 is provided with a plurality of steam perforations 13 penetrating therethrough. The light-sensing path of the photosensitive sensor 11 is aligned with at least one steam perforation 13. Such a design can achieve the shunt control of the steam shunt device and control the total input amount of steam in the steam shunt device.

[0033] There are seven condensate cups 10, one of which is fixed to the center of the panel 4, and the other six condensate cups 10 are arranged at equal intervals in a circle. Such a design can arrange more and larger heating areas on the panel 4.

[0034] The shunt control method of the steam shunt device is as follows: The photosensitive sensor 11 senses whether there is food to be heated in the area of the panel 4 corresponding to the condensate cup 10. If so, the solenoid valve can be automatically controlled to open to achieve the steam output of the shunt pipe 8. If not, the solenoid valve 8 can be automatically controlled to close to close the steam output of the shunt pipe 8. In addition, by setting the same number of photosensitive sensors 11 and solenoid valves 8 as the number of shunt pipes 8, the steam output of each shunt pipe 8 can be automatically and accurately controlled to avoid the situation where there is no food to be heated on the panel 4 but the steam continues to output.

[0035] The proportional control method for the total input amount of steam of the steam shunt device is as follows: First, determine the number of solenoid valves 8 opened, that is, determine the number of shunt pipes 8 that need to output steam; then determine the total input amount of steam required in the steam shunt device according to the number of shunt pipes 8 that need to output steam; finally, adjust the total input amount of steam that the steam generator 2 needs to input into the steam shunt device through the proportional control valve; thereby achieving the precise control of the total input amount of steam.

[0036] A plurality of support bearings 14 are arranged at intervals on the side of the cooking ring 3 close to the panel 4. The panel 4 is placed on the cooking ring 3 and forms a rotational connection with the plurality of support bearings 14; in this embodiment, the number of support bearings 14 is six and they are arranged at equal intervals. Such a design can facilitate the panel 4 to rotate more smoothly.

[0037] The peripheral edge of the furnace ring 3 is provided with a limit pin 15 that extends vertically away from the panel 4, and the rotary joint 6 is rotatably connected to the panel 4; the panel 4 includes a flat plate portion 16 and a bent portion 17 formed by bending and extending the peripheral edge of the flat plate portion 16. The bent portion 17 bends and extends toward the furnace ring 3 and wraps the furnace ring 3. A limit post 18 perpendicular to the limit pin 15 is fixed to the inner side of the bent portion 17; when the panel 4 rotates along the furnace ring 3 and the limit post 18 abuts against the limit pin 15, the rotation of the panel 4 is restricted by the limit pin 15. Such a design can, through the rotatable connection formed by the rotary joint 6 and the panel 4, the limit pin 15 provided on the furnace ring 3, and the limit post 18 provided on the panel 4, avoid the risk of the panel 4 over-rotating and detaching from the furnace ring 3. Moreover, through the design method of the panel 4, the panel 4 can be placed more stably on the furnace ring 3, further avoiding the risk of the panel 4 over-rotating and detaching from the furnace ring 3.

[0038] The shunt pipe 8 communicates with the middle region in the height direction of the condensate cup 10; the condensate discharge device includes a plurality of water receiving pipes 19 fixed to the panel 4 and a water collecting pipe 20 fixed to the panel 4 and communicating with the plurality of water receiving pipes 19. Each water receiving pipe 19 is respectively communicated with one side of the condensate cup 10 away from the panel 4, and a drain port is provided on the water collecting pipe 20. Such a design can not only facilitate the output of the steam in the shunt pipe 8 but also facilitate the discharge of the condensate formed by the condensation of the steam in the condensate cup 10.

[0039] The condensate discharge device further includes a drain pipe 21 communicated with the drain port. Such a design can facilitate the discharge of the condensate in the water collecting pipe 20 to a designated area.

[0040] The condensate cup 10 is inclined toward the panel 4 from its connection point with the water receiving pipe 19, and the connection point of the condensate cup 10 with the water receiving pipe 19 is farther from the panel 4 than other regions. Such a design can cause the condensate in the condensate cup 10 to flow concentratedly toward the water receiving pipe 19, so as to facilitate the discharge of all the condensate in the condensate cup 10.

[0041] The steam collecting pipe 7 is fixed to the panel 4 through a first threaded connection post 22; the water collecting pipe 20 is fixed to the panel 4 through a second threaded connection post 23. Such a design can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the steam collecting pipe 7 and the water collecting pipe 20.

[0042] A plurality of handles 28 protruding outward are further provided on the peripheral edge of the panel 4, and the plurality of handles 28 are arranged at equal intervals. Specifically, the handles 28 are arranged on the outside of the extension portion of the panel 4. Such a design can facilitate the taking and placing of the burner assembly.

[0043] In the cooking device 100 of this embodiment, by designing a photosensitive sensor 11 and a solenoid valve 8 in the steam shunt device, the photosensitive sensor 11 can sense whether there is food to be heated in the area corresponding to the condensate cup 10 on the panel 4, so as to control the solenoid valves 8 on each shunt pipe 8. In addition, the input pipe 5 can be connected to the steam generator 2 through a proportional control valve, so that the proportional control valve can accurately control the total input amount of steam by the number of opened solenoid valves 8, so that the steam output amounts of the respective shunt pipes 8 reach a balanced state and avoid waste of steam.
