Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and particularly to a condensate water box, an exhaust assembly and an integrated range hood. Background Art
[0002] An integrated range hood is an integrated kitchen electric appliance that combines a wind duct, a cooking stove, a range hood, a steam oven, etc. into one. The steaming and baking functions of the integrated range hood on the market are mainly set in the steam oven module to steam or bake food to achieve the cooking effect. After cooking, there is a large amount of water vapor and hot air inside the steam oven. If not processed, a large amount of water vapor or hot air will rush out when the user opens the door after cooking, posing a risk of scalding.
[0003] In order to reduce the trouble caused by water vapor or hot air to the user, an exhaust assembly is usually used to export the steam in the integrated range hood. The exhaust assembly includes a condensate water box. When these hot water vapors contact the relatively cold surface of the exhaust assembly, condensation occurs, forming water droplets that collect in the condensate water box for easy collection.
[0004] In the related art, the height of the air outlet of the condensate water box is usually not higher than the height of the peripheral side wall of the condensate water box. As the condensate water increases, when the height of the collected condensate water exceeds the height of the air outlet of the condensate water box, the condensate water will flow back to the steam oven along the air duct, causing damage or functional limitation of the internal components of the steam oven, and further shortening the service life of the steam oven.

[0066] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application 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 application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown in and, an embodiment of the present application provides a condensate water box 11. The main purpose of the condensate water box 11 is to collect the condensate water generated during the cooking process of the integrated cooker 100. During the cooking process of the integrated cooker 100, especially when using the steaming and baking functions, a large amount of heat and water vapor will be generated inside the integrated cooker 100. When the high-temperature water vapor contacts the relatively cold surface inside the integrated cooker 100, condensation will occur, forming water droplets. By collecting the condensate water, it is possible to prevent the water droplets from flowing back into the interior of the integrated cooker 100, avoiding damage to the internal components or affecting the function of the integrated cooker 100. The condensate water box 11 can be made of stainless steel, having the effects of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
[0068] As Figure 6 and Figure 11, the condensate water box 11 includes a first box body 111 and an air guide pipe 112. The first box body 111 constitutes the main part of the condensate water box 11. The first box body 111 includes a first bottom wall 1111 and a first peripheral side wall 1112 surrounding the first bottom wall 1111. The first bottom wall 1111 and the first peripheral side wall 1112 jointly define a liquid collection cavity 111a, which is used to collect and store the condensate water generated during the steaming and baking process of the integrated stove 100, facilitating subsequent cleaning by the user. The air guide pipe 112 is vertically arranged inside the first box body 111 and is used to guide the flow path of water vapor, increasing the chance of water vapor contacting the condensation surface. The air guide pipe 112 is connected to the first bottom wall 1111 and is at least partially arranged in the liquid collection cavity 111a. The air guide pipe 112 has an air inlet 112a and an air outlet 112b that communicate with each other. The air inlet 112a is located at the lower end of the air guide pipe 112, and the air outlet 112b is located at the upper end of the air guide pipe 112. Due to the principle of hot air rising, the air inlet 112a is used to communicate with the steam outlet 20b of the integrated stove 100. After the high-temperature water vapor is generated, it enters the air inlet 112a of the air guide pipe 112 through the steam outlet 20b and then exits from the air outlet 112b of the air guide pipe 112. After cooling, water droplets gather in the liquid collection cavity 111a.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 11 , understandably, the first box body 111 and the air guide pipe 112 are integrally formed. The integrally formed design reduces the connection points, thereby improving the structural stability and durability of the condensate water box 11, ensuring that the condensate water does not leak from the connection between the first box body 111 and the air guide pipe 112. The integrally formed condensate water box 11 can provide a better sealing effect, preventing the escape of water vapor or condensate water.
[0070] Among them, the height of the air outlet 112b is higher than the height of the first peripheral side wall 1112, ensuring that the air outlet 112b is higher than the first peripheral side wall 1112. Even if the condensate water accumulates to the maximum height of the first peripheral side wall 1112, it will not flow back to other parts of the integrated stove 100 through the air outlet 112b. Since the condensate water does not flow back, the other parts of the integrated stove 100 can be kept dry, reducing corrosion and bacterial growth caused by moisture. And avoiding the condensate water from flowing back can reduce potential damage to the internal components of the integrated stove 100 and extend the service life of the equipment. Users do not need to worry about the overflow or backflow of condensate water when using the integrated stove 100, thus providing a better use experience.
[0071] Such as Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the air duct 112 is centrally disposed on the first bottom wall 1111, that is, the air duct 112 is located at the central position of the liquid collecting cavity 111a, which helps the water vapor to condense into water droplets and be evenly distributed in the liquid collecting cavity 111a, and ensures that the condensed water accumulates evenly in the entire cavity, rather than concentrating on one side. And the air duct 112 is located at the center of the first bottom wall 1111, which helps to improve the overall structural stability of the condensed water box 11.
[0072] As Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the air duct 112 includes a first duct 1121 and a second duct 1122. The first duct extends in the direction of the opening of the first bottom wall 1111 towards the liquid collecting cavity 111a, and is used to guide the movement path of the water vapor generated inside the integrated cooking stove 100. The end of the first duct 1121 away from the first bottom wall 1111 has an air outlet 112b, and the air outlet 112b is used to discharge the water vapor out of the air duct 112. The second duct 1122 is communicated with the first duct 1121 and extends in the direction away from the opening of the first bottom wall 1111 towards the liquid collecting cavity 111a, and is closer to the steam outlet 20b of the integrated cooking stove 100. The end of the second duct 1122 away from the first bottom wall 1111 has an air inlet 112a, which is communicated with the steam outlet 20b of the integrated cooking stove 100, facilitating the water vapor to enter the air duct 112.
[0073] Through the arrangement of the first duct 1121 and the second duct 1122, the flow path of the water vapor in the condensed water box 11 can be increased, the water vapor can be effectively guided to the condensed water box 11, the collection efficiency of the condensed water can be improved, the retention of the water vapor inside the integrated cooking stove 100 can be reduced, the water vapor generated inside the integrated cooking stove 100 can be effectively managed, the risk of the high-temperature water vapor accumulating in inappropriate areas can be reduced, and the safety of use can be improved.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6, an embodiment of the present application also provides an exhaust assembly 10, including the condensate water box 11 and the exhaust box 12 in any of the above embodiments. The condensate water box 11 is detachably installed in the exhaust box 12, which helps to promptly touch the condensate water. After a large amount of condensate water is collected in the liquid collection cavity 111a of the condensate water box 11, the user can remove the condensate water box 11 to pour out the condensate water in the liquid collection cavity 111a for cleaning to prevent bacteria from growing, and then install the condensate water box 11 back into the exhaust box 12, making the cleaning and maintenance of the condensate water box 11 more convenient. The exhaust box 12 provides support for the condensate water box 11, enabling the condensate water box 11 to be held in an appropriate position in the integrated stove 100. The exhaust box 12 has a steam inlet 122a for communicating with the steam outlet 20b of the integrated stove 100. The exhaust box 12 provides a connection point with the steam outlet 20b of the integrated stove 100. The exhaust box 12 is used to guide the water vapor generated in the integrated stove 100 to move to the condensate water box 11, and the air inlet 112a of the condensate water box 11 is communicated with the steam inlet 122a of the exhaust box 12, reducing the disorderly leakage of water vapor inside the integrated stove 100.
[0075] Among them, the exhaust box 12 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy or other metal alloys, which can resist high-temperature corrosion and is easy to clean and maintain to maintain the hygiene of the exhaust assembly 10.
[0076] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the exhaust box 12 includes a second box body 121 and an exhaust pipe 122. The size and dimensions of the second box body 121 are adapted to the first box body 111. The second box body 121 constitutes the main part of the exhaust box 12. The second box body 121 includes a second bottom wall 1211 and a second peripheral side wall 1212 surrounding the second bottom wall 1211. The second bottom wall 1211 and the second peripheral side wall 1212 jointly define a receiving groove 121a for receiving the first box body 111 (i.e., the condensate water box 11) to ensure that the condensate water box 11 can be stably installed in the exhaust box 12. And the second bottom wall 1211 has an insertion interface 121b communicated with the receiving groove 121a. The insertion interface 121b is used to dock and communicate with the exhaust pipe 122, so that the exhaust pipe 122 is effectively communicated with the condensate water box 11. The exhaust pipe 122 is disposed outside the second box body 121. The exhaust pipe 122 can guide the water vapor from the steam inlet 122a to the air inlet 112a of the condensate water box 11. To further improve the exhaust efficiency, a part of the guide pipe 112 is inserted into the exhaust pipe 122 through the insertion interface 121b, and a part of the guide pipe 112 is directly inserted into the exhaust pipe 122, improving the connection effect between the guide pipe 112 and the exhaust pipe 122, enhancing the sealing performance and preventing water vapor leakage.
[0077] Among them, the height of the second circumferential side wall 1212 is higher than that of the first circumferential side wall 1112. That is, the exhaust box 12 provides better support for the condensate box 11, preventing the condensate box 11 from shifting during use. And the height of the second circumferential side wall 1212 is higher than that of the first circumferential side wall 1112. Even if the water level in the condensate box 11 rises, it will not directly overflow to the outside of the condensate box 11, protecting other parts of the integrated cooker 100 from the influence of condensate water.
[0078] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the exhaust pipe 122 includes a vertical section 1221 and a connecting section 1222. The vertical section 1221 is connected to the second bottom wall 1211 and is in butt communication with the insertion port 121b. The vertical section 1221 extends from the second bottom wall 1211 in a direction away from the notch of the accommodation groove 121a. A part of the air guide pipe 112 is inserted into the vertical section 1221, that is, the second pipe 1122 is inserted into the vertical section 1221. The extending directions of the second pipe 1122 and the vertical section 1221 are the same. The connecting section 1222 is connected to the vertical section 1221 and is arranged at an angle with the vertical section 1221, which can prevent high-temperature water vapor from directly impacting the condensate box 11 and reduce potential damage caused by steam impact.
[0079] Specifically, the angle between the vertical section 1221 and the connecting section 1222 is an obtuse angle. That is, the connecting section 1222 is inclined downward in the up-down direction of the exhaust assembly 10. The end of the connecting section 1222 far from the vertical section 1221 has a steam inlet 122a. After the water vapor enters from the steam inlet 122a, it can rise along the connecting section 1222 and then enter the vertical section 1221. The inclined connecting section 1222 can effectively manage the flow direction of the water vapor, and the inclined downward connecting section 1222 can reduce the eddy current and resistance in the rising path of the water vapor and improve the exhaust efficiency.
[0080] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, from the position of the steam inlet 122a to the connection with the vertical section 1221, the inner diameter of the connecting section 1222 is gradually reduced, so that the speed of the water vapor increases when passing through the connecting section 1222. When the flow rate increases, its pressure will decrease, which helps to more effectively discharge the water vapor from the inside of the integrated cooker 100, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency. And when the water vapor passes through the connecting section 1222, the speed increases, so the contact time with the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 122 will be relatively reduced, preventing the water vapor from condensing into water droplets in the connecting section 1222. And the length of the vertical section 1221 is less than the length of the connecting section 1222, so that the water vapor quickly enters the vertical section 1221 after passing through the connecting section 1222 and is introduced into the second pipe 1122 inserted in the vertical section 1221.
[0081] Please continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the condensate box 11 is detachably disposed in the receiving groove 121a of the exhaust box 12, and an assembly gap is provided between the condensate box 11 and the exhaust box 12, that is, a first assembly gap 10a is provided between the first circumferential side wall 1112 and the second circumferential side wall 1212, and a second assembly gap 10b is provided between the first bottom wall 1111 and the second bottom wall 1211. The exhaust assembly 10 also includes a waterproof member 13, which is provided in the first assembly gap 10a and is arranged around the outer periphery of the first circumferential side wall 1112 to seal the first assembly gap 10a. On the one hand, it can prevent water vapor from escaping from the first assembly gap 10a, and on the other hand, it can prevent condensate from flowing back from the first assembly gap 10a to the exhaust pipe 122.
[0082] Please continue reading Figure 8 In some embodiments, the waterproof component 13 may also be arranged in the second assembly gap 10b and arranged around the peripheral side of the plug interface 121b to seal the second assembly gap 10b. The waterproof component 13 can effectively seal the second assembly gap 10b to prevent condensed water from flowing back into the exhaust pipe 122, thereby reducing potential safety risks caused by condensed water leakage.
[0083] Exemplarily, the waterproof member 13 may be an elastic waterproof member 13. Due to the deformable characteristics of the elastic waterproof member 13, it can adapt to the first assembly gap 10a and the second assembly gap 10b of different sizes and shapes, and provide consistent sealing performance. Even if the condensate box 11 or the exhaust box 12 is deformed due to thermal expansion, the elastic waterproof member 13 can still ensure the stable cooperation of the condensate box 11 and the exhaust box 12, and play a role in shock absorption and buffering.
[0084] To prevent the condensed water in the condensed water box 11 from overflowing and flowing into other areas inside the integrated stove 100 when the condensed water exceeds its load threshold. In some embodiments, the second peripheral side wall 1212 has an overflow port 1212a (such as Figure 5 ), the overflow port 1212a is communicated with the receiving groove 121a, and a water storage member may be provided on the side away from the receiving groove 121a, and a water storage cavity is formed in the water storage member, and the water storage cavity is communicated with the overflow port 1212a, so that even if the water level in the condensed water box 11 exceeds its designed capacity, the condensed water will not overflow to the outside of the exhaust box 12. Condensed water exceeding the carrying threshold of the condensed water box 11 can flow into the water storage cavity through the overflow port 1212a, ensuring that the condensed water in the condensed water box 11 will not be too full, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the steaming and baking function and other related functions of the integrated stove 100.
[0085] Moreover, the overflow port 1212a is higher than the waterproof member 13 and lower than the air outlet 112b. The overflow port 1212a being higher than the waterproof member 13 is to ensure that when the water level in the condensate water box 11 rises to the height of the overflow port 1212a, the water can be discharged smoothly without being blocked by the presence of the waterproof member 13. And the overflow port 1212a being lower than the air outlet 112b can further prevent the condensate water exceeding the bearing threshold of the condensate water box 11 from accumulating in the accommodating groove 121a and flowing back into the exhaust pipe 122 through the air outlet 112b of the air guide pipe 112. Before reaching the height of the air outlet 112b of the air guide pipe 112, it can be discharged through the overflow port 1212a. By setting the overflow port 1212a to discharge the excessive condensate water, the exhaust assembly 10 can be protected from the influence of excessive condensate water and maintain its normal operation.
[0086] In some embodiments, the overflow port 1212a is also lower than the first circumferential side wall 1112, that is, the condensate water overflowing the first circumferential side wall 1112 will quickly be discharged through the overflow port 1212a, ensuring that it will not accumulate in the exhaust box 12, improving the collection efficiency of excessive condensate water. The user does not need to frequently check and empty the condensate water in the condensate water box 11, improving the convenience of use.
[0087] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, a first side opening 1112a is provided on the first circumferential side wall 1112, that is, the condensate water in the condensate water box 11 will overflow when it reaches the height of the first side opening 1112a, and a second side opening 1212b is provided on the second circumferential side wall 1212. The second side opening 1212b is communicated with the water storage cavity of the water storage member. Since the first side opening 1112a is communicated with the second side opening 1212b, the excessive condensate water in the condensate water box 11 can be discharged. Setting the first side opening 1112a and the second side opening 1212b can prevent the water level in the condensate water box 11 from being too high and accumulating in the accommodating groove 121a, causing corrosion and damage to the exhaust box 12.
[0088] Among them, both the first side opening 1112a and the second side opening 1212b are higher than the waterproof member 13. On the one hand, it can ensure that the condensate water can be discharged smoothly without being blocked by the presence of the waterproof member 13. On the other hand, it can prevent the condensate water from flowing back into the interior of the exhaust pipe 122 from the first assembly gap 10a or the second assembly gap 10b during the drainage process.
[0089] As Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the exhaust assembly 10 further includes a sealing ring 14. The sealing ring 14 is disposed between the first circumferential sidewall 1112 and the second circumferential sidewall 1212, and is in interference fit with the first circumferential sidewall 1112 and the second circumferential sidewall 1212, ensuring the tight fit of the sealing ring 14 and reducing the possibility of condensate leakage. And it surrounds the circumferences of the first side opening 1112a and the second side opening 1212b. The sealing ring 14 is used to fill the tiny gap between the first side opening 1112a and the second side opening 1212b to prevent condensate from leaking. The condensate overflowing from the first side opening 1112a flows along the channel of the sealing ring 14 through the second side opening 1212b and finally flows into the water storage cavity of the water storage member. The sealing ring 14 can also increase the friction between the first circumferential sidewall 1112 and the second circumferential sidewall 1212, which helps to improve the stability of the condensate box 11 installed in the exhaust box 12.
[0090] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , an embodiment of the present application further provides an integrated stove 100. The integrated stove 100 includes a cooking box 20, a cooking appliance 30, a steam pipeline 40, and the exhaust assembly 10 in any of the above embodiments.

And the cooktop panel 32 and the bottom case 31 enclose and define a cooking cavity 30a. Among them, the integrated cooking appliance 100 further includes a support seat 50 disposed in the cooking cavity 30a. The support seat 50 is connected to the bottom case 31. The support seat 50 is used to support the exhaust box 12 to ensure that the exhaust box 12 is stably installed inside the cooking appliance 30 and will not move due to vibrations during the cooking process.
[0093] In some embodiments, one of the support seat 50 and the exhaust box 12 is provided with a hook 123, and the other of the support seat 50 and the exhaust box 12 is provided with a hook hole 50a. The hook 123 is engaged with the hook hole 50a, which can limit the displacement of the exhaust box 12, so that the exhaust box 12 is stably installed on the support seat 50. And the user can simplify the installation and disassembly process and improve the operation convenience by engaging the exhaust box 12 with the support seat 50 without using screws or other fasteners.
[0094] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in Figure 6 , the support seat 50 is provided with a hook hole 50a, and the bottom of the exhaust box 12 is provided with a hook 123 adapted to the hook hole 50a. Part of the hook 123 is disposed opposite to the outer side wall of the hook hole 50a after being inserted. The hook 123 can limit the movement of the exhaust box 12 in the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions of the cooking appliance 30, so that the exhaust box 12 remains stable during the cooking process and will not be displaced due to vibrations. It can also ensure the position of the condensate water box 11 embedded in the accommodation groove 121a, improving the stability of the integrated cooking appliance 100.
[0095] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the support seat 50 is further provided with an avoidance groove 50b. The avoidance groove 50b is spaced from the hook hole 50a. The avoidance groove 50b is used to avoid the exhaust pipe 122, so that the exhaust pipe 122 can pass through the support seat 50 more smoothly to be connected to the steam pipe 40, avoiding direct contact between the exhaust pipe 122 and the support seat 50 and reducing the wear caused by the collision between the exhaust pipe 122 and the support seat 50. Optimize the space utilization and make the design of the whole integrated cooking appliance 100 more compact.
[0096] In some embodiments, a supporting leg 124 is further provided on the second box body 121. The supporting leg 124 is specifically located on the second circumferential side wall 1212. The lower end surface of the supporting leg 124 is flush with the lower end surface of the second bottom wall 1211. The supporting leg 124 can provide support for the second box body 121, and is lapped on the supporting seat 50, so that the second box body 121 is stably supported on the supporting seat 50. The supporting leg 124 provides an additional support point for the second box body 121, enhances the stability of the exhaust box 12 disposed in the cooking cavity 30a, and reduces the shaking caused by unstable support.
[0097] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the cooking appliance 30 is provided with an installation opening 30b. The installation opening 30b is communicated with the cooking cavity 30a. The exhaust assembly 10 is installed on the cooking appliance 30 via the installation opening 30b, so that the exhaust assembly 10 can be easily installed and disassembled without opening the entire cooktop shell. The installation opening 30b enables the exhaust assembly 10 to be partially hidden inside the cooking appliance 30, saving space and maintaining the overall aesthetics of the cooking appliance 30.
[0098] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the integrated cooking appliance 100 further includes a grille cover 60. The grille cover 60 is disposed at the installation opening 30b and is opposite to the condensate water box 11 and the exhaust box 12. The cooking fumes generated by the cooking box 20 will condense and flow back into the liquid collection cavity 111a of the condensate water box 11 when touching the grille cover 60, preventing too much water vapor from being discharged from the air outlet 112b and causing the furniture around the integrated cooking appliance 100 to mildew due to moisture. The fumes discharged from the grille cover 60 will be drawn towards the common flue by the range hood. The exhaust gas in the cooking cavity 20a is discharged from bottom to top into the cooking appliance 30 and is discharged together with the cooking fumes generated by the cooking appliance 30, realizing the overall external discharge of the fumes generated by the integrated cooking appliance 100 and improving the exhaust efficiency.
[0099] When the user needs to pour the condensate water in the condensate water box 11, the grille cover 60 can be disassembled and the condensate water box 11 can be taken out. The grille cover 60 can prevent the user's hands or objects from contacting the exhaust assembly 10, providing additional safety protection to prevent scalding or damage. It can also block foreign objects from entering the interior of the exhaust assembly 10, reducing the risk of blocking the condensate pipe 112 and the exhaust pipe 122 and affecting the exhaust efficiency.
[0100] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the integrated cooking appliance 100 further includes a seal 70. The seal 70 is installed between the exhaust box 12 and the grille cover 60. The seal 70 is annular and can block the gap between the exhaust box 12 and the grille cover 60 to prevent water vapor and cooking fumes from escaping into the cooking cavity 30a through the gap.
