Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and more specifically, to a base assembly and a cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the cooking process, cooking equipment generates a large amount of high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam carries a large amount of heat. When the steam is discharged outward, the heat carried by the steam will also be lost, resulting in heat waste. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the steam discharged by cooking equipment in the prior art or related art causes heat waste.

[0004] In view of this, in the first aspect, the utility model provides a base assembly for a cooking equipment. The cooking equipment has a cooking cavity. The base assembly includes: a base; a steam generating assembly connected to the base. The steam generating assembly is provided with a steam inlet, a steam supply port and an inner cavity; a flow guide member located in the inner cavity. The flow guide member is provided with a steam flow channel. The steam inlet is communicated with the steam flow channel. At least a part of the bottom of the flow guide member has a gap with the bottom wall of the inner cavity; wherein, the steam generated by the steam generating assembly is used to be discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port, and the steam inlet is used to supply the steam in the cooking cavity to flow back into the steam flow channel.

[0005] The steam generating assembly provided by the utility model is arranged on the base. When the steam generating assembly operates, the steam generating assembly heats the water in the inner cavity, so that the steam generating assembly can generate steam. The steam generating assembly is provided with a steam supply port, and the steam generated by the steam generating assembly can be discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port, so as to heat the food materials in the cooking cavity.

[0006] A steam flow channel is arranged in the inner cavity. The steam can heat the food materials in the cooking cavity. As the amount of steam in the cooking cavity gradually increases, the steam in the cooking cavity can flow into the steam flow channel from the steam inlet. Since there is water in the inner cavity, the steam flowing into the steam flow channel can directly or indirectly exchange heat with the water, thereby reducing the temperature of the steam.

[0007] During the heat exchange process between the steam and the water in the inner cavity, the heat of the high-temperature steam will be transferred to the water, thereby realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding the waste of the heat of the steam. Moreover, by heating the water with the high-temperature steam, the temperature of the water can be increased, so that the water in the inner cavity can be quickly heated into steam, reducing the heating time of the steam generating assembly for the water, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the steam generating assembly and being beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate.

[0008] The deflector is provided with a steam flow channel. The deflector is used to guide the recovered steam so that the steam can flow along the deflector. Under the guiding action of the deflector, the steam exchanges heat with water along a set route. At least a part of the bottom of the deflector is spaced from the bottom of the inner cavity, so that the water at various places in the inner cavity can be communicated through the bottom of the deflector, improving the temperature uniformity of the water at various places in the inner cavity.

[0009] In addition, according to the base assembly in the above technical solution provided by the present utility model, the following additional technical features may also be included:

[0010] In some technical solutions, optionally, the top of the deflector is connected to the top wall of the inner cavity.

[0011] The top of the deflector is connected to the top of the inner cavity, so that there is no gap between the top of the deflector and the top of the inner cavity, preventing the steam from passing over the deflector from the top of the deflector, ensuring that the steam can only flow in the steam flow channel and guaranteeing the heat exchange stability between the steam and the water.

[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is used to be discharged to the outside through the end of the steam flow channel.

[0013] The steam outlet is communicated with the outside of the cooking device. The steam flows through the steam flow channel and is discharged to the outside. That is, the steam cooled by heat exchange in the steam flow channel can be discharged from the cooking device. Since the temperature of the steam discharged from the cooking device is relatively low, the users around the cooking device are not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the users during the cooking process.

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, the inner cavity is used for storing water, the steam flow channel is communicated with the inner cavity, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is used to contact and exchange heat with the water in the inner cavity.

[0015] In this solution, it is defined that the steam flow channel is communicated with the inner cavity, that is, an opening is provided at the bottom of the steam flow channel, and the steam flow channel is communicated with the inner cavity through the opening. After the steam flows into the steam flow channel, the steam in the steam flow channel exchanges heat with the water in the inner cavity. Since the steam flow channel is communicated with the inner cavity, the steam can directly contact the water, enabling the steam to directly exchange heat with the water, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the steam and ensuring that the steam discharged from the cooking device has a relatively low temperature.

[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam supply port and the steam flow channel are independent of each other.

[0017] The steam generated by the steam generating assembly is discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. When the steam supply port and the steam flow channel are set to be independent of each other, the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is not easily discharged back into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port, thereby avoiding the mixing of the steam discharged into the cooking cavity and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel, and ensuring the independence of the steam for heating and the steam for discharging outward.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: a partition member located in the inner cavity, and the partition member is used to separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel.

[0019] A partition member is provided in the inner cavity, and the partition member can separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel, so that the steam flowing towards the steam supply port and the steam in the steam flow channel are not easily mixed with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by heating water is not easily flowing towards the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is not easily discharged back into the cooking cavity again, ensuring that the steam flowing into the cooking cavity and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel are two parts of steam that are approximately independent of each other, thereby ensuring that the steam discharged into the cooking cavity has a relatively high temperature and ensuring the heating effect on the food ingredients.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, the partition member is provided with a steam generation cavity and a water inlet hole. The steam generation cavity is communicated with the steam supply port, and the inner cavity and the steam generation cavity are communicated through the water inlet hole.

[0021] A steam generation cavity is provided in the partition member. The steam generation cavity is communicated with the steam supply port. The water in the steam generation cavity is heated to generate steam, and the steam in the steam generation cavity is discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. The partition member can define a steam generation cavity, and the water storage in the steam generation cavity is less. Therefore, a small amount of water in the steam generation cavity can be quickly heated into steam, which is beneficial to improving the steam generation speed and further beneficial to improving the heating effect on the food ingredients.

[0022] A water inlet hole is provided on the partition member. The water inlet hole is used to communicate the steam generation cavity and the inner cavity, and the water in the inner cavity can be injected into the steam generation cavity through the water inlet hole. When the water in the steam generation cavity is heated into steam, the water in the inner cavity is replenished into the steam generation cavity through the water inlet hole to prevent the water in the steam generation cavity from being burned dry. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level height in the steam generation cavity and the liquid level height in the inner cavity are basically the same, thereby ensuring that a small amount of water is maintained in the steam generation cavity.

[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, with the bottom wall of the inner cavity as a reference, the bottom of the guide member is higher than the lowest end of the water inlet hole.

[0024] Water can flow to the water inlet through the bottom of the guide member. Since a part of the water inlet is lower than the bottom of the guide member, the guide part will not block the water flowing to the water inlet, thereby ensuring the water inlet stability of the water inlet.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water inlet hole is located on a side of the partition away from the steam inlet.

[0026] The water inlet and the steam inlet are located on opposite sides of the partition, so that the steam entering the steam flow channel is not easy to flow to the steam inlet, and the steam is prevented from entering the steam generating chamber through the water inlet.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, a water inlet hole is formed between the partition and the bottom wall of the inner cavity.

[0028] A water inlet hole is provided on the partition, and the bottom of the water inlet hole is open. When the partition is placed in the inner cavity, the bottom wall of the inner cavity closes the bottom of the water inlet hole, so that the water inlet hole is formed between the bottom wall of the inner cavity and the partition, that is, the bottom of the water inlet hole is flush with the bottom wall of the inner cavity. Even when the liquid level in the inner cavity is low, water in the inner cavity can enter the steam generating chamber through the water inlet hole.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: an inner cylinder, located in the steam generating chamber, the top of the inner cylinder is connected to the partition, and the side of the inner cylinder is spaced apart from the side of the partition.

[0030] The inner cylinder is arranged in the steam generating chamber and is connected to the partition. The inner cylinder will occupy a part of the space in the steam generating chamber, thereby reducing the water storage space in the steam generating chamber. When the water stored in the steam generating chamber is less, the water in the steam generating chamber is heated and generated faster, which can further increase the steam generation speed. When the cooking equipment is used, the cooking chamber can be filled with steam in a short time, which is beneficial to increase the cooking speed of the food.

[0031] The top of the inner drum is connected to the partition, so that the inner drum is not easy to shake relative to the partition, and the inner drum is not easy to collide with the partition under the action of steam during the process of generating steam in the steam generating chamber, thereby avoiding noise during cooking. There is a gap between the side of the inner drum and the side of the partition, and the gap is used to store water, so that steam can be quickly generated in the gap.

[0032] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom of the inner cylinder is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the cavity, and a conducting port is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and the conducting port is communicated with the steam generating cavity.

[0033] A conducting port is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and the interior of the inner cylinder is connected with the steam generating chamber through the conducting port, so a part of the water in the steam generating chamber can flow into the interior of the inner cylinder through the conducting port.

[0034] When placing the inner cylinder and the separator into the inner cavity, the inner cylinder will be affected by the buoyancy of the water, causing the inner cylinder to float up under the buoyancy, thereby causing the inner cylinder and the separator to be unable to be stably placed at the bottom of the inner cavity. By providing a conducting port at the bottom of the inner cylinder, the water in the steam generating chamber can flow into the inner cylinder through the conducting port, reducing the buoyancy of the water on the inner cylinder, thereby facilitating the placement of the inner cylinder and the separator to the bottom of the inner cavity.

[0035] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generating assembly includes: a water tank; a juice receiving tray, which is arranged on the water tank, the inner cavity is located between the juice receiving tray and the water tank, the steam inlet and the steam supply port are arranged on the juice receiving tray, and the cooking cavity is located above the juice receiving tray.

[0036] The water tank is used to store water, and a juice collecting tray is arranged at the opening position of the water tank. An inner cavity is formed between the juice collecting tray and the water tank. When the steam generating assembly is running, the water in the water tank is heated. After steam is generated in the water tank, the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port on the juice collecting tray. Since the cooking cavity is located above the juice collecting tray, the steam discharged from the steam supply port directly enters the cooking cavity, thereby ensuring that the high-temperature steam can quickly heat the food.

[0037] The cooking cavity is located above the juice receiving tray. During the cooking process, the juice receiving tray is used to receive and collect the juice flowing from the food, which is convenient for users to centrally process the juice flowing from the food, and is conducive to improving the user's convenience in using the cooking device. After using the juice receiving tray as the enclosure component of the inner cavity, there is no need to set up additional components that cooperate with the water tank, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the cooking device.

[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first side of the juice receiving tray is used to face the cooking cavity, and the steam inlet protrudes from the first side of the juice receiving tray.

[0039] The juice collecting tray is used to receive the juice dripping from the food. The steam inlet is protruded from the top of the juice collecting tray, so that the juice on the juice collecting tray is not easy to enter the steam inlet, thereby preventing the juice of the food from entering the steam flow channel through the steam inlet, and preventing the juice of the food from contaminating the water in the inner cavity.

[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, a steam outlet is provided on the side of the juice receiving tray, the steam outlet is connected to the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is discharged outwardly through the steam outlet.

[0041] The steam outlet is arranged on the side of the juice receiving tray, so the steam in the steam flow channel can be directly discharged outward from the steam outlet on the juice receiving tray. The steam inlet and the steam outlet are both arranged on the juice receiving tray, so there is no need to arrange an outlet for steam discharge on the water tank, which can reduce the difficulty of processing the water tank.

[0042] In a possible application, the opening of the steam outlet is arranged upward. When the steam is discharged from the steam outlet, the steam is not likely to rush towards the user on the side of the cooking device, avoiding direct contact between the steam and the user, thereby reducing the probability of the user being scalded.

[0043] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generating assembly is located inside the base, and an air outlet is provided on the base, and the steam flow channel is communicated with the air outlet.

[0044] The steam generating assembly is installed inside the base, and the base plays a protective role for the steam generating assembly, and the steam can be discharged outward through the air outlet on the base.

[0045] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: a fan, connected to the base, and the fan is used to pump the steam discharged from the steam flow channel towards the air outlet.

[0046] When the fan operates, the fan is used to pump the steam in the steam flow channel towards the air outlet. Driven by the fan, the steam is discharged to the outside of the cooking device at a relatively high flow rate. Due to the rapid flow and diffusion of the steam, the contact area between the steam and the surrounding air is relatively large, and the water molecules in the steam quickly mix with the air, making it difficult to form visible water droplets or condensed water. At the same time, the high-speed flow of the steam also reduces the possibility of water molecules aggregating somewhere, thereby avoiding the formation of condensed water.

[0047] In some technical solutions, optionally, an installation cavity is provided on the base, the fan is located in the installation cavity, and the steam flow channel is communicated with the air outlet through the installation cavity.

[0048] An installation cavity is provided on the base. The installation cavity is used to install the fan, and the installation cavity is used to communicate the steam outlet and the air outlet. By arranging the fan in the installation cavity, the air flow flowing into the installation cavity basically comes from the steam outlet, and the fan is not likely to pump out the air inside the base, so as to ensure that the steam in the steam flow channel is discharged at a relatively high flow rate, and further avoid the formation of condensed water in the steam discharged from the cooking device.

[0049] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a cooking device, including the base assembly as in the first aspect.

[0050] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steamer assembly, arranged on the base assembly, the steamer assembly has a cooking cavity, and both the steam supply port and the steam inlet are communicated with the cooking cavity.

[0051] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steamer assembly includes: a steamer, arranged on the base assembly; a cover body, covering the steamer to form a closed space inside the cover body and the steamer.

[0052] The food ingredients can be placed in the steamer basket, and the space between the cover body and the steamer basket is the cooking cavity. When the cover body covers the steamer basket, the space between the cover body and the steamer basket is in a closed state, that is, there are no air holes for exhaust on the cover body, so that the gas in the cooking cavity will not be discharged outward through the cover body, thus ensuring that the cooking device can recover the heat of the steam and reduce the temperature of the steam discharged outward.

Detailed implementation manners

[0065] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0066] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0067] The following refers to Figures 1 to 8 Describe a base assembly and a cooking device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0068] Combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in

[0069] The steam generating assembly 120 provided by the present utility model is arranged on the base 110. When the steam generating assembly 120 operates, the steam generating assembly 120 heats the water in the inner cavity 123, so that the steam generating assembly 120 can generate steam. A steam supply port 122 is arranged on the steam generating assembly 120, and the steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 can be discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122, so as to heat the food materials in the cooking cavity 210.

[0070] A steam flow channel 131 is arranged in the inner cavity 123. The steam can heat the food materials in the cooking cavity 210. As the amount of steam in the cooking cavity 210 gradually increases, the steam in the cooking cavity 210 can flow into the steam flow channel 131 from the steam inlet 121. Since there is water in the inner cavity 123, the steam flowing into the steam flow channel 131 can exchange heat with the water directly or indirectly, thereby reducing the temperature of the steam.

[0071] Figure 2 The arrow in is used to indicate the steam flow direction.

[0072] Figure 5 In, the direction pointed by the arrow in the steam flow channel 131 is used to indicate the steam flow direction.

[0073] During the heat exchange process between the steam and the water in the inner cavity 123, the heat of the high-temperature steam will be transferred to the water, thereby realizing the recovery of the steam heat and avoiding waste of the steam heat. Moreover, by heating the water with the high-temperature steam, the temperature of the water can be increased, so that the water in the inner cavity 123 can be quickly heated into steam, reducing the heating time of the water by the steam generating assembly 120, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the steam generating assembly 120 and being beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate.

[0074] A steam flow channel 131 is arranged on the flow guide member 130. The flow guide member 130 is used to guide the recovered steam so that the steam can flow along the flow guide member 130. Under the guiding action of the flow guide member 130, the steam exchanges heat with the water along a set route. At least a part of the bottom of the flow guide member 130 is spaced from the bottom of the inner cavity 123, so that the water at various places in the inner cavity 123 can be communicated through the bottom of the flow guide member 130, improving the temperature uniformity of the water at various places in the inner cavity 123.

[0075] In some embodiments, optionally, the top of the flow guide member 130 is connected to the top wall of the cavity of the inner cavity 123.

[0076] The top of the flow guide member 130 is connected to the top of the inner cavity 123, so that there is no gap between the top of the flow guide member 130 and the top of the inner cavity 123, preventing the steam from passing over the flow guide member 130 from the top of the flow guide member 130, so that the steam can only flow in the steam flow channel 131, ensuring the heat exchange stability between the steam and the water.

[0077] In other embodiments, the deflector 130 can also be directly placed in the inner cavity 123.

[0078] In some embodiments, optionally, the steam that flows back into the steam flow channel 131 is used to be discharged to the outside through the end of the steam flow channel 131.

[0079] The steam outlet 126 is in communication with the outside of the cooking device. The steam flows through the steam flow channel 131 and is discharged to the outside. That is, the steam that has been cooled by heat exchange in the steam flow channel 131 can be discharged from the cooking device. Since the temperature of the steam discharged from the cooking device is relatively low, users around the cooking device are not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of users during the cooking process.

[0080] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the inner cavity 123 is used for storing water, the steam flow channel 131 is in communication with the inner cavity 123, and the steam that flows back into the steam flow channel 131 is used to contact and exchange heat with the water in the inner cavity 123.

[0081] In this solution, it is defined that the steam flow channel 131 is in communication with the inner cavity 123. That is, an opening is provided at the bottom of the steam flow channel 131, and the steam flow channel 131 is in communication with the inner cavity 123 through the opening. After the steam flows into the steam flow channel 131, the steam in the steam flow channel 131 exchanges heat with the water in the inner cavity 123. Since the steam flow channel 131 is in communication with the inner cavity 123, the steam can directly contact the water, enabling the steam to directly exchange heat with the water, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the steam and ensuring that the steam discharged from the cooking device has a relatively low temperature.

[0082] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 131 are independent of each other.

[0083] The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 is discharged to the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122. The steam in the cooking cavity 210 can flow to the steam flow channel 131. When the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 131 are set to be independent of each other, the steam that flows back into the steam flow channel 131 is not easily discharged into the cooking cavity 210 again through the steam supply port 122, thereby avoiding the mixing of the steam discharged into the cooking cavity 210 and the steam that flows back into the steam flow channel 131, and ensuring the independence of the steam for heating and the steam for discharging to the outside.

[0084] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 100 further includes: a partition member 140 located in the inner cavity 123, and the partition member 140 is configured to separate the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 131.

[0085] A partition member 140 is provided in the inner cavity 123. The partition member 140 can separate the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 131, so that the steam flowing to the steam supply port 122 and the steam in the steam flow channel 131 are not easily mixed with each other. Therefore, the steam generated from the heated water is not easily directed to the steam flow channel 131, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 131 is not easily discharged back into the cooking cavity 210, ensuring that the steam flowing to the cooking cavity 210 and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 131 are two relatively independent parts of steam, thereby ensuring that the steam discharged into the cooking cavity 210 has a relatively high temperature and ensuring the heating effect on the food ingredients.

[0086] Combined Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the partition member 140 is provided with a steam generation cavity 141 and a water inlet hole 142. The steam generation cavity 141 is in communication with the steam supply port 122, and the inner cavity 123 and the steam generation cavity 141 are in communication through the water inlet hole 142.

[0087] A steam generation cavity 141 is provided in the partition member 140. The steam generation cavity 141 is in communication with the steam supply port 122. The water in the steam generation cavity 141 is heated to generate steam, and the steam in the steam generation cavity 141 is discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122. The partition member 140 can define a steam generation cavity 141 with a small amount of stored water. Therefore, the small amount of water in the steam generation cavity 141 can be quickly heated to steam, which is beneficial to improving the steam generation speed and further beneficial to improving the heating effect on the food ingredients.

[0088] A water inlet hole 142 is provided on the partition member 140. The water inlet hole 142 is used to communicate the steam generation cavity 141 and the inner cavity 123, and the water in the inner cavity 123 can be injected into the steam generation cavity 141 through the water inlet hole 142. When the water in the steam generation cavity 141 is heated to steam, the water in the inner cavity 123 is replenished into the steam generation cavity 141 through the water inlet hole 142 to prevent the water in the steam generation cavity 141 from being burned dry. According to the principle of the communicating vessel, the liquid level height in the steam generation cavity 141 is basically the same as the liquid level height in the inner cavity 123, thus ensuring that a small amount of water is maintained in the steam generation cavity 141.

[0089] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, with the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123 as a reference, the bottom of the flow guide member 130 is higher than the lowest end of the water inlet hole 142.

[0090] Water can flow through the bottom of the flow guide member 130 to the water inlet hole 142. Since a part of the water inlet hole 142 is lower than the bottom of the flow guide member 130, the flow guide portion does not block the water flowing to the water inlet hole 142, ensuring the water inlet stability of the water inlet hole 142.

[0091] In some embodiments, optionally, the water inlet hole 142 is located on the side of the partition member 140 facing away from the steam inlet 121.

[0092] The water inlet hole 142 and the steam inlet 121 are located on opposite sides of the partition member 140, so that the steam entering the steam flow channel 131 is not likely to flow to the steam inlet 121, preventing the steam from entering the steam generation cavity 141 through the water inlet hole 142.

[0093] In some embodiments, optionally, the water inlet hole 142 is formed by enclosing between the partition member 140 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123.

[0094] The partition member 140 is provided with a water inlet hole 142, and the bottom of the water inlet hole 142 is open. When the partition member 140 is placed in the inner cavity 123, the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123 closes the bottom of the water inlet hole 142, so that the water inlet hole 142 is formed between the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123 and the partition member 140. That is, the bottom of the water inlet hole 142 is flush with the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123. Even when the liquid level in the inner cavity 123 is relatively low, the water in the inner cavity 123 can enter the steam generation cavity 141 through the water inlet hole 142.

[0095] Combined Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0096] In some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 100 further includes: an inner cylinder 150. The inner cylinder 150 is located in the steam generation cavity 141. The top of the inner cylinder 150 is connected to the partition member 140, and the side portion of the inner cylinder 150 is spaced from the side portion of the partition member 140.

[0097] The top of the inner cylinder 150 is connected to the partition member 140, so that the inner cylinder 150 is not prone to sway relative to the partition member 140. During the process of generating steam in the steam generation chamber 141, the inner cylinder 150 is not prone to collide with the partition member 140 under the action of steam, thereby avoiding generating noise during the cooking process. There is a gap between the side of the inner cylinder 150 and the side of the partition member 140, and water is stored in this part of the gap, so that steam can be quickly generated in this part of the gap.

[0098] Combined Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in, in some embodiments, optionally, the bottom of the inner cylinder 150 is spaced from the bottom wall of the cavity, and a conduction port 151 is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 150, and the conduction port 151 is communicated with the steam generation chamber 141.

[0099] A conduction port 151 is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 150, and the inside of the inner cylinder 150 is communicated with the steam generation chamber 141 through the conduction port 151. Therefore, a part of the water in the steam generation chamber 141 can flow into the inside of the inner cylinder 150 through the conduction port 151.

[0100] During the process of placing the inner cylinder 150 and the partition member 140 into the inner cavity 123, the inner cylinder 150 will be affected by the buoyancy of water, resulting in the inner cylinder 150 floating upward under the action of buoyancy, so that the inner cylinder 150 and the partition member 140 cannot be stably placed at the bottom of the inner cavity 123. By providing the conduction port 151 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 150, the water in the steam generation chamber 141 can flow into the inside of the inner cylinder 150 through the conduction port 151, reducing the buoyancy effect of water on the inner cylinder 150, so that it is convenient to place the inner cylinder 150 and the partition member 140 at the bottom of the inner cavity 123.

[0101] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam generation assembly 120 includes: a water tank 124 and a juice receiving tray 125. The juice receiving tray 125 is provided on the water tank 124. The inner cavity 123 is located between the juice receiving tray 125 and the water tank 124. The steam inlet 121 and the steam supply port 122 are provided on the juice receiving tray 125. The cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 125.

[0102] The water tank 124 is used to store water, and the juice receiving tray 125 is set at the opening position of the water tank 124. An inner cavity 123 is formed between the juice receiving tray 125 and the water tank 124. When the steam generating assembly 120 is running, the water in the water tank 124 is heated. After steam is generated in the water tank 124, the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122 on the juice receiving tray 125. Since the cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 125, the steam discharged from the steam supply port 122 directly enters the cooking cavity 210, thereby ensuring that the high-temperature steam can quickly heat the food.

[0103] The cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 125. During the cooking process, the juice receiving tray 125 is used to receive and collect the juice flowing from the food, which is convenient for the user to centrally process the juice flowing from the food, and is conducive to improving the user's convenience in using the cooking device. After using the juice receiving tray 125 as the enclosing component of the inner cavity 123, there is no need to set up additional components that cooperate with the water tank 124, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the cooking device.

[0104] In a possible application, the flow guide 130 is connected to the juice receiving tray 125. The partition 140 is placed in the water tank 124, or the partition 140 is connected to the inside of the water tank 124.

[0105] The water tank 124 is disposed on the base 110 .

[0106] The steam generating assembly 120 further includes a heater 127 . The heater 127 is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 124 . The heater 127 is used to heat the steam generating chamber 141 .

[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first side of the juice receiving tray 125 is used to face the cooking cavity 210 , and the steam inlet 121 protrudes from the first side of the juice receiving tray 125 .

[0108] The juice receiving tray 125 is used to receive the juice dripping from the food. The steam inlet 121 is protruded from the top of the juice receiving tray 125 so that the juice on the juice receiving tray 125 is not easy to enter the steam inlet 121, thereby preventing the juice of the food from entering the steam flow channel 131 through the steam inlet 121 and preventing the juice of the food from contaminating the water in the inner cavity 123.

[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a steam outlet 126 is provided on the side of the juice receiving tray 125 , and the steam outlet 126 is connected to the steam flow channel 131 , and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 131 is discharged outward through the steam outlet 126 .

[0110] The steam outlet 126 is provided at the side of the juice receiving tray 125. Therefore, the steam in the steam flow channel 131 can be directly discharged outward through the steam outlet 126 on the juice receiving tray 125. Both the steam inlet 121 and the steam outlet 126 are provided on the juice receiving tray 125. Therefore, there is no need to provide an outlet for steam discharge on the water tank 124, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the water tank 124.

[0111] In a possible application, the opening of the steam outlet 126 is arranged upward. When the steam is discharged from the steam outlet 126, the steam is not likely to rush towards the user on the side of the cooking device, avoiding direct contact between the steam and the user, thereby reducing the probability of the user being scalded.

[0112] When the steamer assembly 200 in the cooking device is placed on the juice receiving tray 125, a part of the juice receiving tray 125 extends out of the side of the steamer assembly 200, and the steam outlet 126 is provided on a part of the juice receiving tray 125 that extends out of the side of the steamer assembly 200.

[0113] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam generating assembly 120 is located in the base 110, and an air outlet 111 is provided on the base 110. The steam flow channel 131 is communicated with the air outlet 111.

[0114] The steam generating assembly 120 is installed in the base 110. The base 110 plays a protective role for the steam generating assembly 120, and the steam can be discharged outward through the air outlet 111 on the base 110.

[0115] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 100 further includes: a fan 160. The fan 160 is connected to the base 110, and the fan 160 is used to pump the steam discharged from the steam flow channel 131 towards the air outlet 111.

[0116] When the fan 160 operates, the fan 160 is used to pump the steam in the steam flow channel 131 towards the air outlet 111. Driven by the fan 160, the steam is discharged to the outside of the cooking device at a higher flow rate. Due to the rapid flow and diffusion of the steam, the contact area between the steam and the surrounding air is larger, and the water molecules in the steam quickly mix with the air, making it difficult to form visible water droplets or condensate. At the same time, the high-speed flow of the steam also reduces the possibility of water molecules aggregating somewhere, thereby avoiding the formation of condensate.

[0117] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, an installation cavity 112 is provided on the base 110. The fan 160 is located in the installation cavity 112, and the steam flow channel 131 is communicated with the air outlet 111 through the installation cavity 112.

[0118] An installation cavity 112 is provided on the base 110. The fan 160 is installed in the installation cavity 112. The installation cavity 112 is used to communicate with the steam outlet 126 and the air outlet 111. By arranging the fan 160 in the installation cavity 112, the air flow flowing into the installation cavity 112 basically comes from the steam outlet 126, and it is not easy for the fan 160 to extract the air inside the base 110, so as to ensure that the steam in the steam flow channel 131 is discharged at a higher flow rate, and further avoid the steam discharged from the cooking device from forming condensate.

[0119] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a highest liquid level line 1231 is provided on the inner cavity 123. Based on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123, a part of the steam flow channel 131 is higher than the highest liquid level line 1231.

[0120] A part of the steam flow channel 131 is higher than the highest liquid level line 1231. Even if the liquid level in the inner cavity 123 has reached the highest liquid level line 1231, a part of the space in the steam flow channel 131 is still higher than the liquid level in the inner cavity 123, and the space in the steam flow channel 131 above the liquid level is for the steam to flow.

[0121] When the user fills water into the inner cavity 123, the water in the inner cavity 123 usually does not exceed the highest liquid level line 1231, and a part of the steam flow channel 131 is higher than the highest liquid level line 1231. Therefore, it can be ensured that a part of the space in the steam flow channel 131 is not filled with water, so as to provide space for the flow of steam and ensure that the steam can flow and exchange heat in the steam flow channel 131.

[0122] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a lowest liquid level line 1232 is provided on the inner cavity 123. Based on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123, a part of the steam flow channel 131 is lower than the lowest liquid level line 1232.

[0123] The lowest liquid level line 1232 is provided on the inner cavity 123, and the lowest liquid level line 1232 plays a role of reminding the user. When the liquid level of the water in the inner cavity 123 is close to the lowest liquid level line 1232, the user needs to fill water into the inner cavity 123 to avoid the problem of dry burning of the steam generating assembly 120.

[0124] A portion of the steam flow channel 131 is lower than the lowest liquid level line 1232. Even if the liquid level in the inner cavity 123 is close to the lowest liquid level line 1232, a portion of the water in the inner cavity 123 is still higher than the bottom of the steam flow channel 131. The water blocks the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow in the steam flow channel 131, and the steam is not easy to flow out of the steam flow channel 131. This can ensure that the steam can stably exchange heat with the water, and can also ensure that the steam flow channel 131 can stably guide the steam, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the steam, ensuring that the steam can be stably discharged from the cooking equipment, and avoiding the accumulation of partially recovered steam in the steam generating assembly 120.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a cooking device is proposed, including a base assembly 100 as in any of the above embodiments, and can achieve the same technical effect, which will not be described in detail here.

[0126] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steamer assembly 200 disposed on the base assembly 100 , the steamer assembly 200 having a cooking cavity 210 , and the steam supply port 122 and the steam inlet 121 are both connected to the cooking cavity 210 .

[0127] The steamer assembly 200 may be placed on the water tank 124 or on the base 110 , and steam is discharged into the steamer assembly 200 through the steam supply port 122 .

[0128] The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 is discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122. However, the steam supply port 122 and the steam inlet 121 are both arranged on the juice receiving tray 125. In order to prevent the steam discharged from the steam supply port 122 into the cooking cavity 210 from directly flowing to the steam inlet 121, a steam reflux pipe 300 is installed on the steam inlet 121.

[0129] One end of the steam return pipe 300 is connected to the steam inlet 121, and the other end of the steam return pipe 300 extends to the top of the cooking cavity 210. After the steam flows into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122, the steam rises in the cooking cavity 210. Since the height of the steam return pipe 300 is relatively high, the steam will flow into the steam return pipe 300 only when the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity 210. Therefore, when a part of the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity 210, the steam basically fills the cooking cavity 210, so that the temperature of each place in the cooking cavity 210 is relatively high, ensuring the uniform heating effect of the steam on the food.

[0130] By installing the steam reflux pipe 300 on the steam inlet 121, the steam is not likely to flow directly to the steam inlet 121, thereby ensuring that the steam can effectively heat the food.

[0131] In some embodiments, optionally, the steamer assembly 200 includes a steamer 220 and a lid 230. The steamer 220 is disposed on the base assembly 100, and the lid 230 is placed on the steamer 220 to form a closed space within the lid 230 and the steamer 220.

[0132] Food ingredients can be placed inside the steamer 220, and the space within the lid 230 and the steamer 220 is the cooking chamber 210. When the lid 230 is placed inside the steamer 220, the inside of the lid 230 and the steamer 220 is in a closed state, that is, no air vents for exhausting gas are provided on the lid 230, so that the gas inside the cooking chamber 210 will not be discharged outward through the lid 230, thereby ensuring that the cooking device can recover the heat of the steam and reduce the temperature of the steam discharged outward.

[0133] In the present utility model, the term "a plurality of" refers to two or more, unless otherwise clearly defined. Terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected to", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "connected" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
