Moreover, a water box is also arranged on the cooking device, and the water box can supply water to the steam generator more stably, thereby ensuring the steam generation amount.

[0047] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a cooking device is provided. The cooking device at least includes an inner container 100, a steam generator 200, a water supply module 300, an overflow channel 400 and a partition structure. The steam generator 200 is used to supply steam into the inner container 100; the water supply module 300 includes a water box 310 for supplying water to the steam generator 200; the overflow channel 400 is communicated with the inner container 100 for allowing the water overflowing from the water box 310 to flow into the inner container 100; the partition structure is used to prevent the fluid in the inner container 100 from flowing onto the water box 310.

[0049] Overall, when the cooking device enters the steam cooking mode, the steam generator 200 can generate steam and supply it into the inner container 100, so that the food materials can be steam-cooked in the inner container 100. A water box 310 is also arranged on the cooking device, and the water box 310 can supply water to the steam generator 200 more stably, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the steam generator 200. Moreover, by arranging the overflow channel 400, the water overflowing from the water box 310 can be diverted into the inner container 100, thus avoiding the water in the water box 310 from leaking into the cooking device and affecting components such as the circuit module.

[0050] When the pressure in the inner container 100 is relatively high, the fluid in the inner container 100 will enter the overflow channel 400 under the drive of the pressure difference and flow along the overflow channel 400 to the water box 310. Especially when the temperature of the fluid in the inner container 100 is relatively high, the high-temperature fluid acts on the surface of the water box 310 for a long time, which will cause problems such as cracking on the surface of the water box 310 and reduce the service life of the water box 310.

[0051] To prevent the fluid in the inner container 100 from flowing to the water box 310 through the overflow channel 400, the cooking device is also provided with a blocking structure. Through the blocking structure, the fluid in the inner container 100 can be prevented from flowing to the water box 310, thereby avoiding the direct action of the high-temperature fluid in the inner container 100 on the water box 310, preventing the surface of the water box 310 from cracking due to the influence of the high-temperature fluid, and improving the service life of the water box 310.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the cooking device further includes a housing. The inner container 100 is accommodated and installed in the housing, and the inner container 100 can be used to hold the food to be cooked. The specific shapes and structures of the inner container 100 and the housing can be adjusted according to the usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the cooking device can be an electrical appliance that needs to work with steam, including but not limited to a steam oven, a steam box, etc.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 In the embodiment, the cooking device further includes a heating element (not shown). The heating element is used to heat the cavity of the inner container 100. Through the heating element, the food in the inner container 100 can be baked and cooked to meet different cooking needs.

[0055] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the heating element according to the usage needs. For example, the heating element includes a baking device and / or a microwave generating device, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0056] Preferably, the heating element includes a baking device and a microwave generating device. By setting the microwave generating device, the food can be cooked by microwave using the microwave generating device. And, by setting the baking device, the food can be baked and cooked by using the baking device. Specifically, the baking device includes an electric heating tube.

[0057] By arranging the steam generator 200, the baking device and the microwave generating device on the same cooking device, the cooking device can realize multiple cooking modes and has better applicability.

[0058] When the cooking device is in the baking mode, the heating element can heat the food in the inner container 100, thereby generating hot air in the inner container 100. At this time, the fluid in the inner container 100 is mainly composed of hot air. Moreover, when the pressure in the inner container 100 is relatively high, the hot air in the inner container 100 will enter the overflow channel 400 under the drive of the pressure difference and flow along the overflow channel 400 to the water box 310. When the hot air acts on the surface of the water box 310 for a long time, it will cause problems such as cracking on the surface of the water box 310, thereby reducing the service life of the water box 310.

[0059] When the cooking device is in the steaming mode, the steam generator 200 will generate steam and transport it to the inner container 100, thereby causing the pressure in the inner container 100 to rise. At this time, the fluid in the inner container 100 is mainly composed of steam. Moreover, the high-temperature steam in the inner container 100 will enter the overflow channel 400 under the drive of the pressure difference and flow along the overflow channel 400 to the water box 310. When the high-temperature steam acts on the surface of the water box 310 for a long time, it will cause problems such as cracking on the surface of the water box 310, thereby reducing the service life of the water box 310.

[0060] To avoid the above problems, in the embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 's embodiments, the cooking device includes an overflow pipe 410. The inner cavity of the overflow pipe 410 forms an overflow channel 400. The partition structure includes a first one-way connection member provided on the overflow pipe 410. The first one-way connection member can enable the water overflowing from the water box 310 to flow into the inner container 100 unidirectionally.

[0061] By providing the overflow pipe 410 on the cooking device, the overflow pipe 410 can unidirectionally flow the water overflowing from the water box 310 into the inner container 100, thereby preventing the water overflowing from the water box 310 from entering the cooking device and affecting components such as the circuit module, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the cooking device.

[0062] Moreover, by providing the first one-way connection member on the overflow pipe 410, the overflow pipe 410 can only unidirectionally transport the overflowing water to the inner container 100, thereby preventing the fluid in the inner container 100 from overflowing to the water box 310 through the overflow pipe 410 and improving the service life of the water box 310.

[0063] Designers can adjust the specific model structure of the first one-way connection member according to the usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the first one-way connection member includes a first one-way valve 510 provided on the overflow pipe 410.

[0064] Among them, as long as the valve that can form a one-way connection state can be considered as the first one-way valve 510, such as a solenoid valve, a one-way valve, etc.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 of the embodiments, the cooking device includes an overflow pipe 410. The inner cavity of the overflow pipe 410 forms an overflow channel 400. The partition structure includes a first elbow 520 provided on the overflow pipe 410, and water can be stored in the first elbow 520.

[0066] By providing the first elbow 520 on the overflow pipe 410 and allowing water to be stored in the first elbow 520, the water stored in the first elbow 520 can act as a water seal, preventing the fluid in the inner container 100 from overflowing onto the water box 310 through the overflow pipe 410, thereby improving the service life of the water box 310.

[0067] Designers can adjust the specific shape and structure of the first elbow 520 according to the usage needs. For example, the first elbow 520 can be set to a U shape, a V shape, or other shapes, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present utility model, at least a part of the overflow pipe 410 is bent to form the first elbow 520. By forming the first elbow 520 with at least a part of the overflow pipe 410, the overflow pipe 410 and the first elbow 520 are integrally provided, improving the structural strength between the overflow pipe 410 and the first elbow 520, and eliminating the need for additional installation of the first elbow 520, thus improving the installation efficiency.

[0069] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the first elbow 520 can be connected to the overflow pipe 410 by an external connection method, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 of the embodiments, the cooking device further includes an exhaust channel 610, an exhaust part 620, and an exhaust device 630. The exhaust channel 610 communicates with the exhaust part 620, and the exhaust device 630 is used to drive the fluid in the housing of the cooking device to be discharged from the exhaust part 620 through the exhaust channel 610.

[0071] The exhaust device 630 can drive the fluid in the housing of the cooking device to be discharged from the exhaust part 620 through the exhaust channel 610, thereby discharging the heat between the inner container 100 and the housing from the cooking device, playing a role in heat dissipation, and preventing the high temperature in the inner container 100 from affecting or damaging the operation of components such as the circuit module in the cooking device.

[0072] In a feasible embodiment, an exhaust portion 620 is provided on the housing. The exhaust portion 620 is configured as an opening structure that communicates the inner cavity of the housing with the external space. An exhaust passage 610 is provided in the housing and above the inner container 100. The air outlet of the exhaust device 630 is communicated with the exhaust passage 610, so that the fluid in the housing can be driven by the exhaust device 630 to be discharged from the exhaust portion 620 through the exhaust passage 610.

[0073] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the exhaust device 630 according to the usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the exhaust device 630 includes a cross-flow fan, and the air outlet of the cross-flow fan is communicated with the exhaust passage 610.

[0074] When the cooking device performs steam cooking on the food in the inner container 100, the steam generator 200 continuously delivers steam into the inner container 100, resulting in the problem of excessive pressure in the inner container 100.

[0075] To solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 's embodiments, the cooking device further includes a condensation passage 700. The condensation passage 700 communicates the inner container 100 and the exhaust passage 610, and is used to make the fluid in the inner container 100 flow into the exhaust passage 610.

[0076] By connecting the condensation passage 700 to the inner container 100 and the exhaust passage 610, when the cooking device is in the steam cooking mode, part of the steam in the inner container 100 can flow into the exhaust passage 610 through the condensation passage 700 and be discharged along the exhaust passage 610, thus playing a role in regulating the pressure in the inner container 100 and avoiding the problem of excessive pressure caused by steam accumulation in the inner container 100.

[0077] It should be further noted that when the exhaust device 630 is working, the fluid in the housing enters the exhaust portion 620 through the exhaust passage 610 and is discharged. Since the exhaust portion 620 is configured as an elongated outlet, the air supply volume of the exhaust device 630 is generally greater than the air outlet volume of the exhaust portion 620, resulting in a positive pressure state in the exhaust passage 610. When the cooking device is in the baking mode, at this time, the pressure in the exhaust passage 610 will be conducted to the inner container 100 through the condensation passage 700, increasing the pressure in the inner container 100, making the hot air in the inner container 100 more likely to flow into the overflow passage 400 under the action of the pressure difference, and then flowing along the overflow passage 400 to the water tank 310.

[0078] To solve the above problems, in the embodiments of the present utility model, the cooking device includes a condenser tube 710. The inner cavity of the condenser tube 710 forms a condensation channel 700. The blocking structure includes a second one-way connection member provided on the condenser tube 710. The second one-way connection member can enable the fluid in the inner container 100 to flow into the exhaust channel 610 unidirectionally.

[0079] By providing the condenser tube 710 on the cooking device, when the cooking device is in the steam cooking mode, the condenser tube 710 can convey the high-temperature steam in the inner container 100 to the exhaust channel 610, thereby playing a role in controlling the pressure in the inner container 100.

[0080] Moreover, when the cooking device is in the baking cooking mode, by providing the second one-way connection member on the condenser tube 710, the condenser tube 710 can only convey the fluid in the inner container 100 to the exhaust channel 610 unidirectionally, preventing the pressure in the exhaust channel 610 from being transmitted to the inner container 100 through the condenser tube 710, thereby avoiding the fluid in the inner container 100 from overflowing onto the water box 310 under the drive of pressure and improving the service life of the water box 310.

[0081] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the second one-way connection member according to the usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the second one-way connection member includes a second one-way valve 530 provided on the condenser tube 710. Among them, any valve that can form a one-way connection state can be regarded as the second one-way valve 530, such as a solenoid valve, a one-way valve, etc.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 's embodiments, the cooking device includes a condenser tube 710 and a condenser 720. The condenser 720 is provided in the exhaust channel 610. The inner cavity of the condenser tube 710 forms a condensation channel 700. The condenser tube 710 communicates with the condenser 720 and the inner container 100. The blocking structure includes a third one-way connection member provided on the condenser 720. The third one-way connection member can enable the fluid in the inner container 100 to flow into the exhaust channel 610 unidirectionally.

[0083] By providing the condenser 720 in the exhaust channel 610, the condenser 720 can condense the steam in the exhaust channel 610, thereby recovering some condensed water and helping to reduce the water consumption in the inner container 100.

[0084] Specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of exhaust holes 721 are provided on the condenser 720. The third one-way communication member includes a one-way valve plate 540 provided on the condenser 720. The one-way valve plate 540 enables the fluid in the inner container 100 to flow into the exhaust passage 610 unidirectionally through the respective exhaust holes 721.

[0085] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the condenser 720 according to the usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the condenser 720 includes a condensation box, and a plurality of exhaust holes 721 are arranged at intervals on the condensation box. The one-way valve plate 540 is provided on the condenser 720, and the condenser 720 is communicated with the condensate pipe 710 through the one-way valve plate 540.

[0086] By providing the one-way valve plate 540 on the condenser 720, when the cooking device is in the steaming mode, the one-way valve plate 540 can be opened under the steam pressure, so that the condenser 720 can unidirectionally discharge part of the steam into the exhaust passage 610, thereby preventing the pressure in the inner container 100 from being too high.

[0087] When the cooking device is in the baking mode, the pressure in the inner container 100 is small, and the pressure in the exhaust passage 610 acts on the one-way valve plate 540, thereby pressing the one-way valve plate 540 against the condenser 720, so that the one-way valve plate 540 is in a closed state on the condenser 720, preventing the pressure in the exhaust passage 610 from being transmitted to the inner container 100 through the condenser 720 and the condensate pipe 710, and avoiding the hot air in the inner container 100 from flowing to the water box 310 under the drive of pressure, improving the service life of the water box 310.

[0088] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the designer can adjust the specific structure of the third one-way communication member according to the usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown in the embodiment, the water supply module 300 further includes a water box frame 320. The water box 310 is detachably inserted into the water box frame 320. An overflow collection groove 321 is provided on the water box frame 320. The overflow collection groove 321 is located below the water box 310. The overflow passage 400 communicates the overflow collection groove 321 and the inner container 100. The partition structure includes a partition layer, and at least part of the partition layer is provided between the water box 310 and the overflow collection groove 321. The partition layer is used to prevent the fluid in the inner container 100 from flowing to the bottom of the water box 310 through the overflow passage 400.

[0090] By providing a partition layer between the water box 310 and the overflow collection groove 321, the partition layer can play a blocking role, avoiding the high-temperature fluid in the inner container 100 from directly acting on the water box 310, especially the bottom of the water box 310, thereby helping to improve the service life of the water box 310.

[0091] In a feasible embodiment, the partition layer is adhesively attached to the water tank 310, so as to protect the water tank 310.

[0092] In another feasible embodiment, the partition layer is arranged between the bottom of the water tank 310 and the overflow collection tank 321, so as to block high-temperature fluid.

[0093] Designers can adjust the specific material of the partition layer according to the usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the partition layer is made of heat-insulating material.

[0094] After the cooking device performs steam cooking on the food in the inner container 100, there is still a large amount of steam in the inner container 100. When the user opens the inner container 100, these steams will overflow, which is likely to scald the user and reduces the user experience.

[0095] To solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the cooking device includes an air inlet channel 810, an air inlet part 820, and an air inlet device 830. The air inlet channel 810 communicates with the air inlet part 820 and the inner container 100, and the air inlet device 830 is used to drive external air to flow into the inner container 100 through the air inlet part 820.

[0096] Through the air inlet device 830, external air can be driven to flow into the inner container 100 through the air inlet part 820, so as to use the incoming normal-temperature clean air to displace the high-temperature fluid in the inner container 100 to flow out upward.

[0097] Specifically, the air inlet part 820 is arranged on the housing, and the air inlet part 820 is configured as an opening structure that communicates the air inlet channel 810 with the external space, so that external air can enter the air inlet channel 810 through the air inlet part 820.

[0098] After the cooking device performs steam cooking on the food in the inner container 100, the incoming normal-temperature clean air can displace the high-temperature steam in the inner container 100 from bottom to top, so that the remaining high-temperature steam in the inner container 100 can be discharged through the condensation channel 700 and the exhaust channel 610, avoiding a large amount of steam overflowing and scalding the user after the inner container 100 is opened, and improving the user experience.

[0099] Designers can adjust the specific structure of the air inlet device 830 according to the usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the air inlet device 830 includes a blower, and the blower is arranged on the air inlet channel 810.
