Abstract
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. When the high-temperature steam is discharged into the indoor space, users are easily scalded by the high-temperature steam, resulting in poor safety during the cooking process. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problem in the prior art or related art that users are easily scalded by high-temperature steam, resulting in poor safety during the cooking process.
[0004] In view of this, in a 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 steam flow channel is arranged in the inner cavity. The steam inlet is communicated with the steam flow channel. A first air hole is also arranged in the steam generating assembly. The first air hole is located on one side of the steam flow channel and opens in a direction away from the steam flow channel. Wherein, the steam generated by the steam generating assembly is used to be discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. The steam inlet is used for the steam in the cooking cavity to flow back into the steam flow channel. The steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is discharged to the outside through the first air hole.
[0005] The steam generating assembly 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. A steam supply port is arranged on the steam generating assembly. 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. The steam flows through the steam flow channel and is discharged to the outside through the first air hole. That is, the steam in the steam flow channel whose temperature is reduced through heat exchange can be discharged from the cooking equipment. Since the temperature of the steam discharged from the cooking equipment is relatively low, users around the cooking equipment are not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of users during the cooking process.
[0007] Moreover, during the heat exchange process between the steam and the water in the inner cavity, the heat of the high-temperature steam is transferred to the water, thereby realizing the recovery of the steam heat and avoiding waste of the steam heat. In addition, by heating the water with 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 water by the steam generating component, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the steam generating component and being beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate.
[0008] The longer the path of the steam flowing in the steam flow channel, the longer the heat exchange time between the steam and the water. Therefore, by opening the first air hole in the direction away from the steam flow channel, the steam cannot directly flow towards the first air hole, but needs to flow around and then towards the first air hole. By the above method, the flow time of the steam in the steam flow channel can be increased, the heat exchange time between the steam and the water can be increased, the temperature of the steam can be effectively reduced, and it is ensured that the steam discharged from the cooking device is not easy to scald the user.
[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, a boss is provided on the bottom wall of the inner cavity, the first side of the boss faces the side wall of the inner cavity, and a first air hole is provided on the first side of the boss.
[0011] By providing a boss on the bottom wall of the inner cavity, the first air hole is provided on the first side of the boss, and the first side of the boss faces away from the steam flow channel, so that the first air hole is arranged away from the steam flow channel. During the process of the steam flowing out of the steam flow channel, the steam will flow towards the boss. Since the first air hole faces away from the steam flow channel, the steam discharged from the steam flow channel needs to bypass the boss to flow into the first air hole, increasing the difficulty for the steam to flow out through the first air hole, thereby reducing the speed of the steam discharged from the steam flow channel. The steam can effectively exchange heat with the water in the steam flow channel, which is beneficial to reducing the temperature of the steam discharged to the outside and avoiding scalding the user.
[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom wall of the inner cavity includes: a first bottom wall and a second bottom wall, the second bottom wall is higher than the first bottom wall, and the boss is provided on the second bottom wall.
[0013] A part of the bottom wall in the inner cavity is higher than another part of the bottom wall. Among them, the part with a lower height is the first bottom wall, and the part with a higher height is the second bottom wall. The second bottom wall is higher than the first bottom wall. By providing the boss on the second bottom wall, the boss is higher than the first bottom wall. Since the height of the second bottom wall is higher, the water stored on the first bottom wall is not easy to submerge the second bottom wall, so the boss is less likely to be submerged by water, thereby preventing the water in the inner cavity from flowing into the first air hole.
[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first air hole and the second bottom wall are spaced apart.
[0015] When the first air hole is arranged at an interval from the second bottom wall, the first air hole is lifted above the second bottom wall. Even when the second bottom wall is submerged in water, the water in the inner cavity is not easily in contact with the first air hole, thereby preventing the water in the inner cavity from flowing into the first air hole.
[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, a guiding surface is provided on one side of the boss facing the steam flow channel, and the guiding surface inclines in a direction away from the steam flow channel from the bottom to the top of the boss.
[0017] A guiding surface is provided on one side of the boss facing the steam flow channel. After the user cleans the inner cavity, it is necessary to pour out the cleaning water in the inner cavity. When the cleaning water passes through the guiding surface, the guiding surface plays a role in guiding the cleaning water, avoiding the accumulation of the cleaning water on one side of the boss, ensuring the smooth discharge of the cleaning water, and preventing the splashed cleaning water from splashing into the first air hole.
[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, along the extending direction of the boss, both ends of the boss are arranged at intervals from the side wall of the inner cavity.
[0019] Both ends of the boss are arranged at intervals from the cavity wall of the inner cavity. When pouring out the cleaning water in the inner cavity, a part of the cleaning water can pass through the gap between the end of the boss and the cavity wall of the inner cavity. This part of the gap plays a role in dredging the cleaning water, avoiding the accumulation of a part of the cleaning water on one side of the boss, and being beneficial to improving the smooth discharge of the cleaning water.
[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first air hole extends along the width direction of the steam generating assembly.
[0021] The steam generating assembly has a long side and a short side. When the user pours out the cleaning water inside the steam generating assembly, for the convenience of applying force, the cleaning water is usually poured along the short side of the steam generating assembly. Since the boss extends along the width direction of the steam generating assembly, the poured cleaning water will pass through the side of the boss away from the first air hole. At this time, the poured cleaning water is not easily passed through the first air hole, avoiding the cleaning water from entering the first air hole.
[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generating assembly is arranged in the base, and a second air hole is provided on the base, and the second air hole is communicated with the first air hole.
[0023] A second air hole is formed in the base, and the steam discharged from the first air hole flows to the second air hole, and the steam is discharged to the outside through the second air hole.
[0024] The position of the second air hole can be reasonably arranged according to the internal structure of the product, avoiding interference between the position of the discharged steam and other components.
[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: a blower, which is connected to the base, and the blower is used to pump the steam discharged from the first air hole towards the second air hole.
[0026] When the blower is operating, the blower is used to pump the steam in the steam flow channel towards the second air hole. Driven by the blower, 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 in a certain place, thereby avoiding the formation of condensed water.
[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, an installation cavity is provided on the base, the blower is located in the installation cavity, and the first air hole and the second air hole are connected through the installation cavity.
[0028] An installation cavity is provided on the base. The installation cavity is used to install the blower and is used to connect the first air hole and the second air hole. By arranging the blower in the installation cavity, the air flow flowing into the installation cavity basically comes from the first air hole, and it is not easy for the blower to extract 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.
[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the inner cavity is used for storing water, the steam flow channel is connected to 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.
[0030] In this solution, it is defined that the steam flow channel is connected to the inner cavity, that is, an opening is provided at the bottom of the steam flow channel, and the steam flow channel is connected to 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 connected to 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.
[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam supply port and the steam flow channel are independent of each other.
[0032] The steam generated by the steam generation assembly is discharged towards the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. The steam in the cooking cavity can flow towards the steam flow channel. 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 easy to be discharged to the cooking cavity again through the steam supply port, thereby avoiding the mixing of the steam discharged to 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 to the outside.
[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generation assembly includes: a water tank; a juice receiving tray disposed on the water tank, with an inner cavity located between the juice receiving tray and the water tank, a steam inlet and a steam supply port disposed on the juice receiving tray, and a cooking cavity located above the juice receiving tray.
[0034] Water is stored in the water tank. The juice receiving tray is arranged at the opening position of the water tank, and an inner cavity is formed between the juice receiving tray and the water tank. When the steam generation assembly operates, 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 receiving tray. Since the cooking cavity is located above the juice receiving 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 ingredients.
[0035] 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 ingredients, facilitating the user to centrally process the juice flowing from the ingredients, which is beneficial to improving the usability of the cooking device by the user. After using the juice receiving tray as the enclosing component of the inner cavity, there is no need to additionally set components cooperating with the water tank, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the cooking device.
[0036] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generation 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 path.
[0037] A partition member is arranged in the inner cavity. The partition member can separate the steam supply port and the steam flow path, making the steam flowing towards the steam supply port and the steam in the steam flow path not easily mix with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by the heated water is not easily directed towards the steam flow path, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow path is not easily discharged into the cooking cavity again, ensuring that the steam flowing towards the cooking cavity and the steam flowing back into the steam flow path 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 ingredients.
[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generation assembly further includes: a guiding member provided with a steam flow path, and a part of the guiding member is immersed in the water in the inner cavity.
[0039] The guiding member is provided with a steam flow path, and the guiding member is used to guide the recovered steam so that the steam can flow along the guiding member. Under the guiding action of the guiding member, the steam exchanges heat with the water along a set route, and the steam after heat exchange can flow towards the outside of the cooking device.
[0040] A part of the guiding member is immersed in the water, so that the water can exchange heat with the guiding member. In the case of steam flowing in the steam, the steam can indirectly exchange heat with the water through the guiding member.
[0041] Alternatively, an opening is provided at the bottom of the flow guide member, such that the steam flow channel inside the flow guide member is in direct contact with water, so that the steam directly exchanges heat with the water. A part of the flow guide member is immersed in water, and the water acts as a barrier to the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow inside the steam flow channel and is not likely to flow out of the steam flow channel. That is, it can ensure that the steam can stably exchange heat with the water and also ensure that the steam flow channel can stably guide the steam.
[0042] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a cooking device, including the base assembly as in the first aspect.
[0043] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steamer assembly, disposed on the base assembly, the steamer assembly having a cooking cavity, and a steam supply port and a steam inlet are both connected to the cooking cavity.
[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steamer assembly includes: a steamer, disposed on the base assembly; a cover body, covering the steamer to form a closed space inside the cover body and the steamer.
[0045] The food ingredients can be placed inside the steamer, and the space inside the cover body and the steamer is the cooking cavity. When the cover body covers the inside of the steamer, the inside of the cover body and the steamer is in a closed state, that is, no air holes for exhausting are provided on the cover body, so that the gas inside the cooking cavity will not be discharged outward through the cover body, thereby ensuring that the cooking device can recover the heat of the steam and reduce the temperature of the steam discharged outward.

Detailed implementation manners
[0057] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with 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.
[0058] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0059] The following refers to Figures 1 to 7 Describe the base assembly and cooking equipment provided according to some embodiments of the present utility model.
[0060] In combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 And Figure 6As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a base assembly 100 is proposed. The base assembly 100 is used for a cooking device, and the cooking device has a cooking cavity 210. The base assembly 100 includes: a base 110 and a steam generating assembly 120. The steam generating assembly 120 is connected to the base 110. The steam generating assembly 120 is provided with a steam inlet 121, a steam supply port 122, and an inner cavity 123. A steam flow channel 124 is provided in the inner cavity 123. The steam inlet 121 is communicated with the steam flow channel 124. A first air hole 125 is further provided in the steam generating assembly 120. The first air hole 125 is located on one side of the steam flow channel 124 and is opened in a direction away from the steam flow channel 124. The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 is used to be discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122. The steam inlet 121 is used for the steam in the cooking cavity 210 to flow back into the steam flow channel 124. The steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 124 is discharged to the outside through the first air hole 125.
[0061] The steam generating assembly 120 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. The steam generating assembly 120 is provided with a steam supply port 122. The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 can be discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122, so that the food materials in the cooking cavity 210 can be heated.
[0062] Figure 2 In, the arrow directions in the cooking device are used to represent the steam flow directions. Figure 5 In, the arrow in the steam flow channel 124 is the steam flow direction.
[0063] A steam flow channel 124 is provided 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 124 from the steam inlet 121. Since there is water in the inner cavity 123, the steam flowing into the steam flow channel 124 can directly or indirectly exchange heat with the water, thereby reducing the temperature of the steam. The steam flows through the steam flow channel 124 and is discharged to the outside through the first air hole 125. That is, the steam in the steam flow channel 124 that has been cooled by heat exchange 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.
[0064] Moreover, during the heat exchange process between the steam and the water in the inner cavity 123, the heat of the high-temperature steam is transferred to the water, thus realizing the recovery of the steam heat and avoiding waste of the steam heat. In addition, by heating the water with 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.
[0065] The longer the path of the steam flowing in the steam flow channel 124, the longer the heat exchange time between the steam and the water. Therefore, by opening the first air hole 125 in a direction away from the steam flow channel 124, the steam cannot directly flow towards the first air hole 125, but needs to flow around a bend before flowing towards the first air hole 125. By the above method, the flowing time of the steam in the steam flow channel 124 can be increased, the heat exchange time between the steam and the water can be increased, the temperature of the steam can be effectively reduced, and it is ensured that the steam discharged from the cooking device is not easy to scald the user.
[0066] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a boss 126 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123. The first side of the boss 126 faces the side wall of the inner cavity 123, and the first air hole 125 is provided on the first side of the boss 126.
[0067] By providing the boss 126 on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123, the first air hole 125 is provided on the first side of the boss 126, and the first side of the boss 126 faces away from the steam flow channel 124, so that the first air hole 125 is arranged away from the steam flow channel 124. During the process of the steam flowing out of the steam flow channel 124, the steam will flow towards the boss 126. Since the first air hole 125 faces away from the steam flow channel 124, the steam discharged from the steam flow channel 124 needs to bypass the boss 126 before flowing into the first air hole 125, increasing the difficulty for the steam to flow out through the first air hole 125, thereby reducing the speed of the steam discharged from the steam flow channel 124. The steam can effectively exchange heat with the water in the steam flow channel 124, which is beneficial to reducing the temperature of the steam discharged to the outside and avoiding scalding the user.
[0068] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123 includes: a first bottom wall 1231 and a second bottom wall 1232. The second bottom wall 1232 is higher than the first bottom wall 1231, and the boss 126 is provided on the second bottom wall 1232.
[0069] Part of the bottom wall in the inner cavity 123 is higher than the other part of the bottom wall. Among them, the part of the bottom wall with a lower height is the first bottom wall 1231, and the part of the bottom wall with a higher height is the second bottom wall 1232. The second bottom wall 1232 is higher than the first bottom wall 1231. The boss 126 is arranged on the second bottom wall 1232. Therefore, the boss 126 is higher than the first bottom wall 1231. Since the height of the second bottom wall 1232 is higher, the water stored on the first bottom wall 1231 is not likely to submerge the second bottom wall 1232. Therefore, the boss 126 is even less likely to be submerged by water, thus preventing the water in the inner cavity 123 from flowing into the first air hole 125.
[0070] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first air hole 125 and the second bottom wall 1232 are arranged at intervals.
[0071] When the first air hole 125 and the second bottom wall 1232 are arranged at intervals, the first air hole 125 is lifted higher than the second bottom wall 1232. Even when the second bottom wall 1232 is submerged by water, the water in the inner cavity 123 is not likely to contact the first air hole 125, thus preventing the water in the inner cavity 123 from flowing into the first air hole 125.
[0072] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a guiding surface 1261 is provided on one side of the boss 126 facing the steam flow channel 124. From the bottom of the boss 126 to the top of the boss 126, the guiding surface 1261 is inclined in a direction away from the steam flow channel 124.
[0073] A guiding surface 1261 is provided on one side of the boss 126 facing the steam flow channel 124. After the user cleans the inner cavity 123, it is necessary to pour out the cleaning water in the inner cavity 123. When the cleaning water passes through the guiding surface 1261, the guiding surface 1261 plays a guiding role for the cleaning water, avoiding the accumulation of the cleaning water on one side of the boss 126, ensuring the smoothness of the discharge of the cleaning water, and avoiding the splashed cleaning water from splashing into the first air hole 125.
[0074] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, along the extending direction of the boss 126, both ends of the boss 126 are arranged at intervals from the side wall of the inner cavity 123.
[0075] There is an interval between both ends of the boss 126 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 123. When pouring out the cleaning water in the inner cavity 123, a part of the cleaning water can pass through the gap between the end of the boss 126 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 123. This part of the gap plays a role in dredging the cleaning water, avoiding the accumulation of a part of the cleaning water on one side of the boss 126, and is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the discharge of the cleaning water.
[0076] As Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first air hole 125 extends along the width direction of the steam generating assembly 120 ( Figure 3 the arrow direction at X in the figure).
[0077] The steam generating assembly 120 has a long side and a short side. When the user pours the cleaning water inside the steam generating assembly 120, for the convenience of applying force, the cleaning water is usually poured along the short side of the steam generating assembly 120. Since the boss 126 extends along the width direction of the steam generating assembly 120, the poured cleaning water will pass through the side of the boss 126 away from the first air hole 125. At this time, the poured cleaning water is not likely to pass through the first air hole 125, avoiding the cleaning water from entering the first air hole 125.
[0078] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam generating assembly 120 is disposed inside the base 110, and a second air hole 111 is provided on the base 110. The second air hole 111 is communicated with the first air hole 125.
[0079] The second air hole 111 is formed on the base 110. The steam discharged from the first air hole 125 flows towards the second air hole 111, and the steam is discharged to the outside through the second air hole 111.
[0080] The position of the second air hole 111 can be reasonably arranged according to the internal structure of the product to avoid interference between the position of the discharged steam and other components.
[0081] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 100 further includes: a blower 130. The blower 130 is connected to the base 110, and the blower 130 is used to pump the steam discharged from the first air hole 125 towards the second air hole 111.
[0082] When the blower 130 operates, the blower 130 is used to pump the steam in the steam flow channel 124 towards the second air hole 111. Driven by the blower 130, 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 condensed water. At the same time, the high-speed flow of the steam also reduces the possibility of water molecules aggregating at a certain place, thereby avoiding the formation of condensed water.
[0083] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, an installation cavity 112 is provided on the base 110. The blower 130 is located inside the installation cavity 112, and the first air hole 125 is communicated with the second air hole 111 through the installation cavity 112.
[0084] An installation cavity 112 is provided on the base 110. The blower 130 is installed in the installation cavity 112. The installation cavity 112 is used to communicate with the first air hole 125 and the second air hole 111. By arranging the blower 130 in the installation cavity 112, the air flow flowing into the installation cavity 112 basically comes from the first air hole 125, and it is not easy for the blower 130 to extract the air inside the base 110, so as to ensure that the steam in the steam flow channel 124 is discharged at a higher flow rate, and further avoid the formation of condensate from the steam discharged from the cooking device.
[0085] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the inner cavity 123 is used for storing water, the steam flow channel 124 is communicated with the inner cavity 123, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 124 is used to contact and exchange heat with the water in the inner cavity 123.
[0086] In this solution, it is defined that the steam flow channel 124 is communicated with the inner cavity 123, that is, an opening is provided at the bottom of the steam flow channel 124, and the steam flow channel 124 is communicated with the inner cavity 123 through the opening. After the steam flows into the steam flow channel 124, the steam in the steam flow channel 124 exchanges heat with the water in the inner cavity 123. Since the steam flow channel 124 is communicated with the inner cavity 123, the steam can directly contact the water, so that the steam directly exchanges 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 lower temperature.
[0087] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 124 are independent of each other.
[0088] 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 124. When the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 124 are set to be independent of each other, the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 124 is not easy to be discharged into the cooking cavity 210 again through the steam supply port 122, so as to avoid the mixing of the steam discharged into the cooking cavity 210 and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 124, and ensure the independence of the steam for heating and the steam for discharging outward.
[0089] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam generating assembly 120 includes: a water tank 127 and a juice receiving tray 128. The juice receiving tray 128 is arranged on the water tank 127. The inner cavity 123 is located between the juice receiving tray 128 and the water tank 127. The steam inlet 121 and the steam supply port 122 are arranged on the juice receiving tray 128. The cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 128.
[0090] The water tank 127 is used for storing water. The juice receiving tray 128 is arranged at the opening position of the water tank 127. An inner cavity 123 is formed between the juice receiving tray 128 and the water tank 127. When the steam generating assembly 120 operates, the water in the water tank 127 is heated. After steam is generated in the water tank 127, the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity 210 through the steam supply port 122 on the juice receiving tray 128. Since the cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 128, 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 ingredients.
[0091] The cooking cavity 210 is located above the juice receiving tray 128. During the cooking process, the juice receiving tray 128 is used to receive and collect the juice flowing down from the ingredients, facilitating the user to centrally process the juice flowing down from the ingredients, which is beneficial to improving the usability of the cooking equipment by the user. After using the juice receiving tray 128 as the enclosing component of the inner cavity 123, there is no need to additionally set components cooperating with the water tank 127, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the cooking equipment.
[0092] The juice receiving tray 128 is detachably arranged on the water tank 127. For example, the juice receiving tray 128 is placed on the water tank 127 to facilitate pouring the juice on the juice receiving tray 128.
[0093] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in
[0094] In some embodiments, optionally, the steam generating assembly 120 further includes: a partition member 1291. The partition member 1291 is located in the inner cavity 123, and the partition member 1291 is used to separate the steam supply port 122 and the steam flow channel 124.
[0095] The partition member 1291 is placed in the water tank 127, or the partition member 1291 is fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 127.
[0096] A steam generation chamber 1294 is formed within the partition member 1291. The steam generation chamber 1294 communicates with the steam supply port 122. When the water within the steam generation chamber 1294 is heated, steam is generated. The steam within the steam generation chamber 1294 is discharged into the cooking chamber 210 through the steam supply port 122. The partition member 1291 can define a steam generation chamber 1294. There is relatively little water stored within the steam generation chamber 1294. Therefore, the small amount of water within the steam generation chamber 1294 can be quickly heated into steam, which is beneficial to increasing the steam generation speed and further beneficial to enhancing the heating effect on the food ingredients.
[0097] An inlet hole 1295 is provided on the partition member 1291. The inlet hole 1295 is used to connect the steam generation chamber 1294 and the inner cavity 123. The water within the inner cavity 123 can be injected into the steam generation chamber 1294 through the inlet hole 1295. When the water within the steam generation chamber 1294 is heated into steam, the water within the inner cavity 123 is replenished into the steam generation chamber 1294 through the inlet hole 1295, preventing the water within the steam generation chamber 1294 from being burned dry. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level height within the steam generation chamber 1294 and the liquid level height within the inner cavity 123 are basically the same, thus ensuring that a small amount of water is maintained within the steam generation chamber 1294.
[0098] The steam generation assembly 120 further includes: a heater 1293. The heater 1293 is used to heat the water within the steam generation chamber 1294. The heater 1293 is disposed opposite to the steam generation chamber 1294, such that the heater 1293 only heats the water within the steam generation chamber 1294.
[0099] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown in
[0100] and
[0101] In some embodiments, optionally, the steam generation assembly 120 further includes: a deflector 1292. A steam flow channel 124 is provided on the deflector 1292. A part of the deflector 1292 is immersed in the water within the inner cavity 123.
[0102] The deflector 1292 is provided with a steam flow channel 124. The deflector 1292 is used to direct the recovered steam, such that the steam can flow along the deflector 1292. Under the guiding action of the deflector 1292, the steam exchanges heat with the water along a set route, and the steam after heat exchange can flow to the outside of the cooking device.
[0101] A part of the deflector 1292 is immersed in the water, so that the water can exchange heat with the deflector 1292. When steam flows within the steam, the steam can indirectly exchange heat with the water through the deflector 1292.
[0102] Alternatively, an opening is provided at the bottom of the flow guide member 1292, such that the steam flow channel 124 within the flow guide member 1292 is in direct contact with water, thereby enabling direct heat exchange between the steam and the water. A portion of the flow guide member 1292 is immersed in water, and the water acts as a barrier to the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow within the steam flow channel 124 and is not likely to flow out of the steam flow channel 124. That is, it can ensure that the steam can stably exchange heat with the water and also ensure that the steam flow channel 124 can stably guide the steam.
[0103] In a possible application, the flow guide member 1292 is connected to the juice receiving tray 128.
[0104] As Figure 3 shown, in some technical embodiments, optionally, a highest liquid level line 1271 is provided on the inner cavity 123. Based on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123, a portion of the steam flow channel 124 is above the highest liquid level line 1271.
[0105] A portion of the steam flow channel 124 is above the highest liquid level line 1271. Even when the liquid level in the inner cavity 123 has reached the highest liquid level line 1271, a portion of the space within the steam flow channel 124 is still above the liquid level in the inner cavity 123, and the space within the steam flow channel 124 above the liquid level is for the steam to flow.
[0106] 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 1271, and a portion of the steam flow channel 124 is above the highest liquid level line 1271. Therefore, it can be ensured that a portion of the space within the steam flow channel 124 is not filled with water, thereby providing space for the steam to flow and ensuring that the steam can flow and exchange heat within the steam flow channel 124.
[0107] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a lowest liquid level line 1272 is provided on the inner cavity 123. Based on the bottom wall of the inner cavity 123, a portion of the steam flow channel 124 is below the lowest liquid level line 1272.
[0108] The lowest liquid level line 1272 is provided on the inner cavity 123, and the lowest liquid level line 1272 serves as a reminder to the user. When the liquid level of the water in the inner cavity 123 approaches the lowest liquid level line 1272, the user needs to fill water into the inner cavity 123 to avoid the problem of dry burning of the steam generating assembly 120.
[0109] A portion of the steam flow channel 124 is lower than the minimum liquid level line 1272. Even if the liquid level in the inner cavity 123 is close to the minimum liquid level line 1272, a portion of the water in the inner cavity 123 is still higher than the bottom of the steam flow channel 124. The water blocks the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow in the steam flow channel 124, and the steam is not easy to flow out of the steam flow channel 124. This can ensure that the steam can stably exchange heat with the water, and can also ensure that the steam flow channel 124 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.
[0110] 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.
[0111] In some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device further comprises: a steamer assembly 200 , the steamer assembly 200 is disposed on the base assembly 100 , the steamer assembly 200 has a cooking cavity 210 , and the steam supply port 122 and the steam inlet 121 are both connected to the cooking cavity 210 .
[0112] The steamer assembly 200 may be placed on the water tank 127 or on the base 110 , and steam is discharged into the steamer assembly 200 through the steam supply port 122 .
[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, 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 128. 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 return pipe 300 is installed on the steam inlet 121.
[0114] 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.
[0115] Therefore, when a portion of the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity 210, the steam substantially fills the cooking cavity 210, so that the temperature at each location in the cooking cavity 210 is relatively high, thereby ensuring that the steam has a uniform heating effect on the food.
[0116] By installing the steam return pipe 300 on the steam inlet 121, the steam is not likely to directly flow towards the steam inlet 121, ensuring that the steam can effectively heat the food ingredients.
[0117] 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 covers the steamer 220 to form a closed space inside the lid 230 and the steamer 220.
[0118] The food ingredients can be placed inside the steamer 220, and the space inside the lid 230 and the steamer 220 is the cooking cavity 210. When the lid 230 covers the inside of the steamer 220, the inside of the lid 230 and the steamer 220 is in a closed state, that is, no air holes for exhausting are provided on the lid 230, so that the gas inside the cooking cavity 210 will not be discharged outward through the lid 230, thus ensuring that the cooking device can recover the heat of the steam and reduce the temperature of the steam discharged outward.
