Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular, to a juice receiving tray assembly, a base assembly and a cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the cooking process of cooking equipment, steam will be generated. In order to recycle the heat of the steam, the steam in the cooking cavity can be recycled into the cavity where the steam is generated. However, after the heat of the steam flowing back into the cavity is recycled, the temperature is relatively low. After the steam with a relatively low temperature is mixed with the newly generated steam, the temperature of the steam discharged into the cooking cavity will also be relatively low, resulting in a reduction in cooking efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] In view of this, in the first aspect, the utility model provides a juice receiving tray assembly for a cooking equipment. The cooking equipment has a cooking cavity. The juice receiving tray assembly includes: a juice receiving tray, on which a steam supply port and a steam inlet are provided. The steam generated by the cooking equipment is used to flow into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. A steam flow channel is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray. The steam inlet is communicated with the steam flow channel. The steam in the cooking cavity flows back into the steam flow channel through the steam inlet; a partition member, located on one side of the juice receiving tray, is used to separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel.

[0005] For the juice receiving tray assembly provided by the utility model, the steam generated by the cooking equipment 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 provided on one side of the juice receiving tray, and 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 through the steam inlet. The steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is used for heat exchange with the cavity where the steam is generated, thereby realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding waste of the heat of the steam.

[0007] A partition member is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray. The partition member can separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel, so that the steam flowing to 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 flowed to the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is not easily discharged into the cooking cavity again, ensuring that the steam flowing to the cooking cavity and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel are two parts of steam that are almost independent of each other, avoiding the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel from reducing the temperature of the newly generated steam, and thus ensuring the heating speed of the food materials.

[0008] In addition, the juice receiving tray assembly according to the above technical solution provided by the present utility model may further have the following additional technical features:

[0009] In some technical solutions, optionally, one side of the partition is hermetically attached to the juice receiving tray.

[0010] A seal is provided between the top of the partition and the juice receiving tray, so that there is no gap between the top of the partition and the juice receiving tray, preventing steam from passing over the partition at the top of the partition, thereby preventing the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel from mixing with the newly generated steam.

[0011] In some technical solutions, optionally, a steam generating chamber is provided on the partition, the steam supply port is communicated with the steam generating chamber, and the steam generating chamber is used to communicate with the water supply area.

[0012] A steam generating chamber is provided inside the partition. The steam generating chamber is communicated with the steam supply port. The water in the steam generating chamber is heated to generate steam, and the steam in the steam generating chamber is discharged into the cooking chamber through the steam supply port. The partition can define a steam generating chamber with less stored water. Therefore, the small amount of water in the steam generating chamber 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 ingredients.

[0013] The steam generating chamber is communicated with the water supply area, so that the water supply area can replenish water into the steam generating chamber to avoid dry burning problems.

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, a communication hole is provided on the partition, and the steam generating chamber is communicated with the water supply area through the communication hole; or the side of the partition facing away from the juice receiving tray is used for the water in the water supply area to flow into the steam generating chamber.

[0015] A communication hole is provided on the partition. The communication hole is used to communicate the steam generating chamber and the water supply area. The water in the water supply area can be injected into the steam generating chamber through the communication hole. When the water in the steam generating chamber is heated to steam, the water in the water supply area is replenished into the steam generating chamber through the communication hole to avoid the water in the steam generating chamber from being burned dry. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level height in the steam generating chamber is basically the same as the liquid level height in the water supply area, thereby ensuring that a small amount of water is maintained in the steam generating chamber.

[0016] Alternatively, an inlet channel can be formed between the bottom of the partition and the water supply area, and water can enter through the bottom of the partition.

[0017] In some technical solutions, optionally, a communication hole is provided on the partition, the steam generating chamber is communicated with the water supply area through the communication hole, and the area S of the communication hole satisfies S≤100mm 2 .

[0018] The water in the water supply area is replenished into the steam generating chamber through the connecting hole. During the gradual evaporation of the water in the steam generating chamber, the water in the water supply area is gradually replenished into the steam generating chamber. The area of the connecting hole is set to be less than or equal to 100mm 2 , making the opening area of the connecting hole smaller, which can reduce the water replenishment speed from the water supply area to the steam generating chamber, thereby keeping a small amount of water in the steam generating chamber and increasing the steam generation speed.

[0019] In some technical solutions, optionally, the juice receiving tray assembly further includes: a raised portion connected to the juice receiving tray, the raised portion protruding from the top of the juice receiving tray, and the raised portion being used to separate the top of the juice receiving tray and the steam supply port.

[0020] The top of the juice receiving tray is used to hold the juice of the food. A raised portion is provided on the top of the juice receiving tray. The raised portion is used to separate the top of the juice receiving tray and the steam supply port. When the juice of the food is collected on the top of the juice receiving tray, the juice of the food is not easy to cover the raised portion, thereby preventing the juice of the food from flowing into the steam supply port and preventing the juice of the food from contaminating the stored water in the water supply area.

[0021] In some technical schemes, optionally, the raised portion includes: an annular side wall connected to the juice receiving tray, the annular side wall protruding from the top of the juice receiving tray; a raised top wall, the circumferential edge of the raised top wall is connected to the top of the annular side wall; wherein the steam supply port is provided on the annular side wall, and the steam supply port is distributed along the circumference of the annular side wall.

[0022] The annular side wall is an annular structure, the bottom of the annular side wall is connected to the juice receiving tray, the top of the annular side wall is connected to the raised top wall, and the annular side wall protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray, so the annular top wall is higher than the top of the juice receiving tray.

[0023] The steam supply port is arranged on the annular side wall. Since the annular side wall protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray, the food juice on the juice receiving tray is not easy to contact the steam supply port on the annular side wall, thereby preventing the food juice from entering the steam supply port. The raised top wall covers the top of the annular side wall, thereby preventing the dripping food juice from entering the steam supply port.

[0024] Moreover, since the steam supply port is distributed along the circumference of the annular side wall, the steam will be discharged into the cooking cavity along the circumference of the annular side wall, and the steam can flow into the cooking cavity evenly, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of temperature distribution at various locations in the cooking cavity.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the raised top wall and the partition are spaced apart, and the annular side wall is in contact with the partition, so that the partition avoids the steam supply port.

[0026] The partition is against the annular side wall, and the partition and the annular side wall are sealed with each other, so that the steam in the steam flow channel is not easy to be discharged into the cooking cavity through the space between the partition and the annular side wall.

[0027] The top of the partition is spaced apart from the raised top wall, that is, the top of the partition does not rest against the raised top wall. Since the steam supply port is provided on the annular side wall, and the steam generated inside the partition needs to be discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port, in order to avoid the partition blocking the steam supply port, the top of the partition is spaced apart from the raised top wall, so that the partition avoids the steam supply port, ensuring that the steam can be discharged smoothly from the steam supply port.

[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a first inner cylinder, located in the steam generating chamber, the top of the first inner cylinder is connected to the partition, and the side of the first inner cylinder is spaced apart from the side of the partition.

[0029] The first 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 faster, which can further increase the steam generation speed. When using the cooking equipment, the cooking chamber can be filled with steam in a short time, which is beneficial to increase the cooking speed of the food.

[0030] The top of the first inner cylinder is connected to the partition, so that the first inner cylinder is not easy to shake relative to the partition, and the first inner cylinder 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 first inner cylinder and the side of the partition, and the gap is used to store water, so that steam can be quickly generated in the gap.

[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, a steam circulation hole is provided on the first inner cylinder, and the steam supply port and the steam generating chamber are connected through the steam circulation hole.

[0032] The water between the first inner cylinder and the partition will be heated to steam, and the steam between the first inner cylinder and the partition will flow into the first inner cylinder through the steam flow hole, and the steam flowing into the first inner cylinder will flow into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port. By providing the steam flow hole on the first inner cylinder, it is not necessary to provide a structure for steam to flow out on the partition, and it can be avoided to provide a special-shaped structure on the partition, which is conducive to the partition being closely attached to the annular side wall, ensuring the sealing of the partition and the annular side wall.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom of the first inner cylinder is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the steam generating chamber, and a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the first inner cylinder, and the first through hole is communicated with the steam generating chamber.

[0034] A first through hole is provided at the bottom of the first inner cylinder, and the interior of the first inner cylinder is in communication with the steam generation chamber through the first through hole. Therefore, a part of the water in the steam generation chamber can flow into the interior of the first inner cylinder through the first through hole.

[0035] During the process of placing the first inner cylinder and the separator into the water supply area, the first inner cylinder will be subjected to the buoyancy force of the water, resulting in the first inner cylinder floating under the action of the buoyancy force, thus causing the first inner cylinder and the separator to be unable to be placed stably. By providing the first through hole at the bottom of the first inner cylinder, the water in the steam generation chamber can flow into the interior of the first inner cylinder through the first through hole, reducing the buoyancy force of the water on the first inner cylinder, so that the first inner cylinder and the separator can be conveniently placed.

[0036] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom of the juice receiving tray is lapped with the separator so that the juice receiving tray and the separator are hermetically fitted; or the separator is integrally formed with the juice receiving tray.

[0037] The water receiving tray and the separator are hermetically sealed with each other by means of abutting, and the sealing method is simple and easy to implement.

[0038] The separator and the juice receiving tray can also be set as an integral structure, thereby improving the sealing performance between the separator and the juice receiving tray.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, the juice receiving tray includes: a tray body, a convex portion is provided on the tray body, and the convex portion protrudes from the top of the tray body; a second inner cylinder, located in the steam generation chamber, the top of the second inner cylinder is connected to the tray body, the side portion of the second inner cylinder is spaced from the side portion of the separator, and a steam supply port is provided on the second inner cylinder.

[0040] There is a gap between the side portion of the second inner cylinder and the side portion of the separator. When the water between the second inner cylinder and the separator is heated to steam, this part of the steam flows into the cooking chamber through the steam supply port on the second inner cylinder. Since the convex portion protrudes from the tray body, the food juice on the tray body is not likely to cross the convex portion, preventing the food juice on the tray body from contacting the steam supply port on the second inner cylinder.

[0041] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom of the second inner cylinder is spaced from the bottom wall of the steam generation chamber, and a second through hole is provided at the bottom of the second inner cylinder, and the second through hole is in communication with the steam generation chamber.

[0042] A second through hole is provided at the bottom of the second inner cylinder, and the interior of the second inner cylinder is in communication with the steam generation chamber through the second through hole. Therefore, a part of the water in the steam generation chamber can flow into the interior of the second inner cylinder through the second through hole.

[0043] During the process of placing the second inner cylinder into the water supply area, the second inner cylinder will be subjected to the buoyancy force of water, causing the second inner cylinder to float under the action of buoyancy, resulting in the second inner cylinder and the partition being unable to be stably placed. By providing a second through hole at the bottom of the second inner cylinder, the water in the steam generation cavity can flow into the interior of the second inner cylinder through the second through hole, reducing the buoyancy force of water on the second inner cylinder, thereby facilitating the placement of the second inner cylinder and the partition.

[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the juice receiving tray further includes: a flow guiding member connected to the juice receiving tray, and a steam flow channel is provided on the flow guiding member.

[0045] A steam flow channel is provided on the flow guiding member, and the flow guiding member is used to guide the recovered steam so that the steam can flow along the flow guiding member. Under the guiding action of the flow guiding member, the steam exchanges heat with the water in the water supply area along a set route.

[0046] In some technical solutions, optionally, the flow guiding member includes a bent flow guiding member, and the bent flow guiding member is used to form at least one bent section on the steam flow channel.

[0047] 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, at least one bent section is formed on the steam flow channel to extend the length of the steam flow channel, thereby increasing the flow duration of the steam in the steam flow channel, increasing the heat exchange duration between the steam and the water, and improving the heat recovery effect.

[0048] In some technical solutions, optionally, the flow guiding member is used to extend into the water supply area, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is used to contact and exchange heat with the water in the water supply area.

[0049] In a possible application, a part of the flow guiding member is immersed in the water in the water supply area, so that the water can exchange heat with the flow guiding member. When the steam flows in the steam flow channel, the steam can indirectly exchange heat with the water through the flow guiding member.

[0050] Alternatively, an opening is provided at the bottom of the flow guiding member, so that the steam flow channel in the flow guiding member is in direct contact with the water, thereby enabling the steam to directly exchange heat with the water. A part of the flow guiding member is immersed in the water, and the water acts as a barrier to the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow in 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.

[0051] In some technical solutions, optionally, the juice receiving tray assembly further includes: a filter screen located in the steam flow channel.

[0052] Steam can pass through the filter screen, but the filter screen can reduce the flow velocity of the steam in the steam flow channel, thereby prolonging the flow duration of the steam in the steam flow channel, and further increasing the heat exchange duration between the steam and water.

[0053] In some technical solutions, optionally, along the extending direction of the steam flow channel, the length of the steam flow channel is greater than or equal to 1000 mm.

[0054] The greater the length of the steam flow channel, the longer the flow time of the steam in the steam flow channel, thereby increasing the heat exchange duration between the steam and water and improving the heat recovery effect.

[0055] In some technical solutions, optionally, the width W of the steam flow channel satisfies W≥5 mm.

[0056] The greater the width of the steam flow channel, the larger the heat exchange area between the steam and water, which is conducive to improving the heat recovery efficiency.

[0057] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a base assembly for a cooking device. The base assembly includes: a base; a water tank connected to the base, with a water supply area provided inside the water tank; a juice receiving tray assembly as in the first aspect, the juice receiving tray is disposed on the water tank, and a part of the juice receiving tray extends into the water supply area.

[0058] The water tank is used to store water. The juice receiving tray assembly is arranged at the opening position of the water tank. A water supply area is formed between the juice receiving tray assembly and the water tank. The water in the water tank can be heated into steam, and the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port on the juice receiving tray assembly.

[0059] A steam flow channel is arranged on one side of the juice receiving tray. The steam can heat the food ingredients 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, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is used for heat exchange with the chamber generating the steam, thereby realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding waste of the heat of the steam.

[0060] A partition is arranged on one side of the juice receiving tray. The partition can separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel, making it difficult for the steam flowing towards the steam supply port and the steam in the steam flow channel to mix with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by heating the water is not likely to flow into the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is not likely to be discharged 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 that are approximately independent of each other, avoiding the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel from reducing the temperature of the newly generated steam, and thus ensuring the heating speed of the food ingredients.

[0061] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: a heating element connected to the water tank and / or the base, and the heating element is used to heat the water in the water tank to generate steam in the water tank.

[0062] The heating element can be arranged on the water tank, and the heating element can heat the water in the water tank, so that steam can be generated in the water tank.

[0063] The heating element can also be installed on the base.

[0064] In a possible application, the heating element is arranged opposite to the steam generation chamber, so that the heating element is only used to heat the water in the steam generation chamber, which is beneficial to the speed of steam generation.

[0065] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly further includes: a steam generator, which is connected to the water tank. The steam generator is used to generate steam, and the steam flows into the cooking chamber through the steam supply port.

[0066] A steam generator for generating steam can be separately arranged in the water tank, and the steam generated by the steam generator flows into the steam supply port.

[0067] In a possible application, the steam generator is arranged in the steam generation chamber.

[0068] In some technical solutions, optionally, a part of the juice collector extends out of the side of the base, and a steam outlet is provided on a part of the juice collector extending out of the side of the base. The steam outlet is communicated with the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is discharged outwards through the steam outlet.

[0069] The steam outlet is arranged on the side of the juice collector. Therefore, the steam in the steam flow channel can be directly discharged outwards through the steam outlet on the juice collector. Both the steam inlet and the steam outlet are arranged on the juice collector. Therefore, there is no need to provide a steam discharge outlet on the water tank, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the water tank.

[0070] In a possible application, the opening of the steam outlet is arranged upwards. 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.

[0071] The steam flows through the steam flow channel and is discharged outwards through the steam outlet. That is, the steam that has been 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 user around the cooking device is not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the user during the cooking process.

[0072] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water tank is located inside the base, and an air outlet is provided on the base. The steam flow channel is communicated with the air outlet, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is discharged outwards through the air outlet.

[0073] The water tank is located inside the base, and the base protects the water tank. An air outlet is provided on the base so that steam can be discharged outward.

[0074] The steam flows through the steam flow path and is discharged outward through the air outlet. That is, the steam that has been cooled by heat exchange in the steam flow path 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.

[0075] 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 path toward the air outlet.

[0076] When the fan operates, the fan is used to pump the steam in the steam flow path toward 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 condensate. At the same time, the high-speed flow of the steam also reduces the possibility of water molecules aggregating in a certain place, thus avoiding the formation of condensate.

[0077] An installation cavity is provided on the base, and the fan is installed in the installation cavity. The installation cavity is used to connect 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 path is discharged at a relatively high flow rate, further avoiding the formation of condensate in the steam discharged from the cooking device.

[0078] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bottom of the partition is spaced from the bottom wall of the water supply area.

[0079] The water in the water supply area can be replenished into the steam generation cavity through the bottom of the partition, avoiding interference problems in the steam generation cavity.

[0080] In a third aspect, the present invention proposes a cooking device, including: a base assembly as in the second aspect; a steamer assembly, the steamer assembly having a cooking cavity, and both the steam supply port and the steam inlet are connected to the cooking cavity.

[0081] A steam flow path is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray, and the steam can heat the ingredients 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 path through the steam inlet, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow path is used for heat exchange with the chamber generating steam, thus realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding waste of the heat of the steam.

[0082] A partition is arranged on one side of the juice receiving tray, and the partition can separate the steam supply port and the steam flow channel, so that the steam flowing to the steam supply port and the steam in the steam flow channel are not easy to mix with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by the heated water is not easy to flow to the steam flow channel, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel is not easy to be discharged into the cooking cavity again, thereby ensuring that the steam flowing to the cooking cavity and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel are two parts of steam that are close to being independent of each other, avoiding the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel from lowering the temperature of the newly generated steam, thereby ensuring the heating speed of the food.

[0083] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steam return pipe, a first end of the steam return pipe is connected to the steam inlet, and a second end of the steam return pipe extends toward the top of the cooking cavity.

[0084] One end of the steam return pipe is connected to the steam inlet, and the other end of the steam return pipe extends to the top of the cooking cavity. After the steam flows into the cooking cavity through the steam supply port, the steam rises in the cooking cavity. Since the height of the steam return pipe is relatively high, the steam will only flow into the steam return pipe when it flows to the top of the cooking cavity. Therefore, when a part of the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity, the steam basically fills the cooking cavity, making the temperature everywhere in the cooking cavity higher, ensuring the uniform heating effect of the steam on the food.

[0085] By installing a steam reflux pipe on the steam inlet, steam is not likely to flow directly to the steam inlet, thereby ensuring that the steam can effectively heat the food.

[0086] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distance between the second end of the steam reflux pipe and the cavity side wall of the cooking cavity is L1, and L1 satisfies, L1≤50mm.

[0087] The steam in the cooking cavity flows to the steam flow channel through the second end of the steam return pipe. The closer the second end of the steam return pipe is to the side wall of the cooking cavity, the longer the time it takes for the steam in the cooking cavity to flow to the steam return pipe.

[0088] Specifically, the distance between the second end of the steam return pipe and the side wall of the cooking cavity is L1, L1≤50mm, therefore, the distance between the second end of the steam return pipe and the side wall of the cooking cavity is small, the second end of the steam return pipe is far away from the upper middle part of the water receiving tray, and the steam will not directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe when the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity. When the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity, the steam will flow into the steam return pipe only when the steam flows along the top of the cooking cavity to the side of the cooking cavity for a distance. In the above manner, the flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity is increased, which is conducive to ensuring a higher temperature in the cooking cavity and improving the heating effect on the food.

[0089] In some technical solutions, optionally, the distance between the orthographic projection of the second end of the steam return pipe on the juice receiving tray assembly and the steam supply port is L2, and L2 satisfies L2 ≥ 50 mm.

[0090] The steam in the cooking cavity flows through the second end of the steam return pipe to the steam flow channel. The second end of the steam flow channel has an orthographic projection on the water receiving tray. The greater the distance between the orthographic projection and the steam supply port, the longer the time for the steam in the cooking cavity to flow to the steam return pipe.

[0091] For example, when the steam supply port is arranged in the middle of the water receiving tray, if the distance between the orthographic projection of the second end of the steam return pipe on the water receiving tray and the steam supply port is small, it means that the second end of the steam return pipe is close to the upper part of the middle of the water receiving tray. When the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity, the steam will directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe, resulting in a short flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity.

[0092] In this embodiment, it is defined that the distance between the projection of the second end of the steam return pipe on the water receiving tray and the steam supply port is L2, and L2 ≥ 50 mm. In this range, the second end of the steam return pipe is far from the upper part of the middle of the water receiving tray. During the process of the steam flowing to the top of the cooking cavity, the steam will not directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe. When the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity and then flows along the top of the cooking cavity to the side of the cooking cavity for a certain distance, the steam will flow into the steam return pipe. By the above method, the flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity is increased, which is beneficial to ensuring a high temperature in the cooking cavity and improving the heating effect on the food ingredients.

[0093] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steamer assembly includes: a steamer arranged on the base assembly; a cover covering the steamer to form a closed space inside the cover and the steamer.

[0094] The food ingredients can be placed in the steamer. The space inside the cover and the steamer is the cooking cavity. When the cover covers the steamer, the inside of the cover and the steamer is in a closed state, that is, there are no air holes for exhausting air on the cover, so that the gas in the cooking cavity will not be discharged outward through the cover, 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

[0109] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. 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.

[0110] In the following description, many specific details are set forth 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.

[0111] The following refers to Figures 1 to 10 Describe a juice receiving tray assembly, a base assembly, and a cooking device provided according to some embodiments of the present utility model.

[0112] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 3 And Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a juice receiving tray assembly 100 is proposed. The juice receiving tray assembly 100 is used for a cooking device, and the cooking device has a cooking cavity 310. The juice receiving tray assembly 100 includes: a juice receiving tray 110 and a partition member 120. The juice receiving tray 110 is provided with a steam supply port 111 and a steam inlet 112. The steam generated by the cooking device is used to flow into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111. A steam flow channel 151 is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray 110, and the steam inlet 112 is communicated with the steam flow channel 151. The steam in the cooking cavity 310 flows back into the steam flow channel 151 through the steam inlet 112. The partition member 120 is located on one side of the juice receiving tray 110, and the partition member 120 is used to separate the steam supply port 111 and the steam flow channel 151.

[0113] For the juice receiving tray assembly 100 provided by the present utility model, the steam generated by the cooking device can be discharged into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111, so as to heat the food materials in the cooking cavity 310.

[0114] Figure 2 The arrow direction inside the cooking device in

[0115] is the steam flow direction. A steam flow channel 151 is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray 110, and the steam can heat the food materials in the cooking cavity 310. As the steam volume in the cooking cavity 310 gradually increases, the steam in the cooking cavity 310 can flow into the steam flow channel 151 through the steam inlet 112. The steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is used for heat exchange with the steam generating chamber, thereby realizing the recovery of the steam heat and avoiding waste of the steam heat.

[0116] A partition member 120 is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray 110. The partition member 120 can separate the steam supply port 111 and the steam flow channel 151, making it difficult for the steam flowing to the steam supply port 111 and the steam in the steam flow channel 151 to mix with each other. Therefore, the steam generated from the heated water is not likely to flow into the steam flow channel 151, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is not likely to be discharged back into the cooking cavity 310. This ensures that the steam flowing into the cooking cavity 310 and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 are two relatively independent parts of steam, preventing the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 from reducing the temperature of the newly generated steam, and thus ensuring the heating speed of the ingredients.

[0117] Figure 5 In the figure, the arrow in the steam flow channel 151 is used to indicate the steam flow direction.

[0118] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, one side of the partition member 120 is in sealing fit with the juice receiving tray 110.

[0119] A seal is provided between the top of the partition member 120 and the juice receiving tray 110, so that there is no gap between the top of the partition member 120 and the juice receiving tray 110, preventing steam from passing over the partition member 120 from the top, and thus preventing the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 from mixing with the newly generated steam.

[0120] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a steam generation cavity 121 is provided on the partition member 120. The steam supply port 111 is in communication with the steam generation cavity 121, and the steam generation cavity 121 is used to communicate with the water supply area 221.

[0121] A steam generation cavity 121 is provided inside the partition member 120. The steam generation cavity 121 is in communication with the steam supply port 111. The water in the steam generation cavity 121 will generate steam after being heated, and the steam in the steam generation cavity 121 is discharged into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111. The partition member 120 can define a steam generation cavity 121 with a small amount of stored water. Therefore, the small amount of water in the steam generation cavity 121 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 ingredients.

[0122] The steam generation cavity 121 is in communication with the water supply area 221, enabling the water supply area 221 to replenish water into the steam generation cavity 121 and avoiding the problem of dry burning.

[0123] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a connecting hole 122 is provided on the partition 120, and the steam generating chamber 121 is connected to the water supply area 221 through the connecting hole 122. Alternatively, the side of the partition 120 away from the juice receiving tray 110 is used for the water in the water supply area 221 to flow into the steam generating chamber 121.

[0124] A connecting hole 122 is provided on the partition 120, and the connecting hole 122 is used to connect the steam generating chamber 121 and the water supply area 221. The water in the water supply area 221 can be injected into the steam generating chamber 121 through the connecting hole 122. When the water in the steam generating chamber 121 is heated to steam, the water in the water supply area 221 is replenished into the steam generating chamber 121 through the connecting hole 122, so as to prevent the water in the steam generating chamber 121 from being dried up. According to the connecting vessel principle, the liquid level in the steam generating chamber 121 is substantially the same as the liquid level in the water supply area 221, so as to ensure that a small amount of water is kept in the steam generating chamber 121.

[0125] Alternatively, a water inlet channel may be formed between the bottom of the partition 120 and the water supply area 221 , and water may be introduced through the bottom of the partition 120 .

[0126] In some embodiments, optionally, a connecting hole 122 is provided on the partition 120, and the steam generating chamber 121 is connected to the water supply area 221 through the connecting hole 122, and the area S of the connecting hole 122 satisfies, S≤100mm 2 .

[0127] The water in the water supply area 221 is replenished into the steam generating chamber 121 through the connecting hole 122. During the gradual evaporation of the water in the steam generating chamber 121, the water in the water supply area 221 is gradually replenished into the steam generating chamber 121. The area of the connecting hole 122 is set to be less than or equal to 100mm. 2 , so that the opening area of the connecting hole 122 is smaller, the water replenishment speed of the water supply area 221 to the steam generating chamber 121 can be reduced, thereby keeping a small amount of water in the steam generating chamber 121 and increasing the steam generation speed.

[0128] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the juice receiving tray assembly 100 further includes: a protrusion 130, the protrusion 130 is connected to the juice receiving tray 110, the protrusion 130 protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray 110, and the protrusion 130 is used to separate the top of the juice receiving tray 110 and the steam supply port 111.

[0129] The top of the juice receiving tray 110 is used to receive the juice of the food. A protrusion 130 is provided on the top of the juice receiving tray 110. The protrusion 130 is used to separate the top of the juice receiving tray 110 and the steam supply port 111. When the juice of the food is collected on the top of the juice receiving tray 110, the juice of the food is not easy to cover the protrusion 130, thereby preventing the juice of the food from flowing into the steam supply port 111 and preventing the juice of the food from contaminating the stored water in the water supply area 221.

[0130] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the raised portion 130 includes: an annular side wall 131 and a raised top wall 132, the annular side wall 131 is connected to the juice receiving tray 110, and the annular side wall 131 protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray 110. The circumferential edge of the raised top wall 132 is connected to the top of the annular side wall 131. The steam supply port 111 is provided on the annular side wall 131, and the steam supply port 111 is distributed along the circumference of the annular side wall 131.

[0131] The annular side wall 131 is an annular structure, the bottom of the annular side wall 131 is connected to the juice receiving tray 110 , the top of the annular side wall 131 is connected to the raised top wall 132 , and the annular side wall 131 protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray 110 , so the annular top wall is higher than the top of the juice receiving tray 110 .

[0132] The steam supply port 111 is disposed on the annular side wall 131. Since the annular side wall 131 protrudes from the top of the juice receiving tray 110, the food juice on the juice receiving tray 110 is not easy to contact the steam supply port 111 on the annular side wall 131, thereby preventing the food juice from entering the steam supply port 111. The raised top wall 132 covers the top of the annular side wall 131, thereby preventing the dripping food juice from entering the steam supply port 111.

[0133] Moreover, since the steam supply port 111 is distributed along the circumference of the annular side wall 131, the steam will be discharged into the cooking cavity 310 along the circumference of the annular side wall 131, and the steam can flow evenly into the cooking cavity 310, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of temperature distribution at various locations in the cooking cavity 310.

[0134] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a gap is provided between the raised top wall 132 and the partition 120 , and the annular side wall 131 is in contact with the partition 120 , so that the partition 120 avoids the steam supply port 111 .

[0135] The partition 120 is against the annular side wall 131 , and the partition 120 and the annular side wall 131 are sealed with each other, so that the steam in the steam channel 151 is not easily discharged into the cooking cavity 310 through the space between the partition 120 and the annular side wall 131 .

[0136] The top of the partition 120 is spaced apart from the raised top wall 132, that is, the top of the partition 120 does not rest against the raised top wall 132. Since the steam supply port 111 is provided on the annular side wall 131, and the steam generated inside the partition 120 needs to be discharged into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111, in order to prevent the partition 120 from blocking the steam supply port 111, the top of the partition 120 is spaced apart from the raised top wall 132, so that the partition 120 avoids the steam supply port 111, ensuring that the steam can be discharged smoothly from the steam supply port 111.

[0137] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device also includes: a first inner cylinder 140, the first inner cylinder 140 is located in the steam generating chamber 121, the top of the first inner cylinder 140 is connected to the partition 120, and the side of the first inner cylinder 140 is spaced apart from the side of the partition 120.

[0138] The first inner cylinder 140 will occupy a part of the space in the steam generating chamber 121, thereby reducing the water storage space in the steam generating chamber 121. When the water stored in the steam generating chamber 121 is less, the water in the steam generating chamber 121 is heated faster, which can further increase the steam generation speed. When using the cooking equipment, the cooking chamber 310 can be filled with steam in a short time, which is beneficial to increase the cooking speed of the food.

[0139] The top of the first inner cylinder 140 is connected to the partition 120, so that the first inner cylinder 140 is not easy to shake relative to the partition 120. During the process of generating steam in the steam generating chamber 121, the first inner cylinder 140 is not easy to collide with the partition 120 under the action of steam, thereby avoiding noise during cooking. There is a gap between the side of the first inner cylinder 140 and the side of the partition 120, and the gap is used to store water, so that steam can be quickly generated in the gap.

[0140] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a steam circulation hole 141 is provided on the first inner cylinder 140 , and the steam supply port 111 and the steam generating chamber 121 are connected through the steam circulation hole 141 .

[0141] The water between the first inner cylinder 140 and the partition 120 is heated into steam. The steam between the first inner cylinder 140 and the partition 120 flows into the interior of the first inner cylinder 140 through the steam flow holes 141, and the steam flowing into the first inner cylinder 140 flows into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111. By providing the steam flow holes 141 on the first inner cylinder 140, there is no need to provide a structure for the steam to flow out on the partition 120, which can avoid setting a special-shaped structure on the partition 120, thereby facilitating the partition 120 to closely fit on the annular side wall 131 and ensuring the sealing performance between the partition 120 and the annular side wall 131.

[0142] Combined Figure 2 with Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the bottom of the first inner cylinder 140 is spaced from the bottom wall of the steam generation cavity 121, and the bottom of the first inner cylinder 140 is provided with a first through hole 142, and the first through hole 142 is communicated with the steam generation cavity 121.

[0143] The bottom of the first inner cylinder 140 is provided with a first through hole 142, and the interior of the first inner cylinder 140 is communicated with the steam generation cavity 121 through the first through hole 142. Therefore, a part of the water in the steam generation cavity 121 can flow into the interior of the first inner cylinder 140 through the first through hole 142.

[0144] During the process of placing the first inner cylinder 140 and the partition 120 into the water supply area 221, the first inner cylinder 140 is subjected to the buoyancy of water, resulting in the first inner cylinder 140 floating under the action of buoyancy, thereby causing the first inner cylinder 140 and the partition 120 to be unable to be stably placed. By providing the first through hole 142 at the bottom of the first inner cylinder 140, the water in the steam generation cavity 121 can flow into the interior of the first inner cylinder 140 through the first through hole 142, reducing the buoyancy of the water on the first inner cylinder 140, so that the first inner cylinder 140 and the partition 120 can be conveniently placed.

[0145] In some embodiments, optionally, the bottom of the juice receiving tray 110 abuts against the partition 120 so that the juice receiving tray 110 and the partition 120 are hermetically fitted. Alternatively, the partition 120 is integrally formed with the juice receiving tray 110.

[0146] The water receiving tray and the partition 120 are hermetically sealed by abutting against each other, and the sealing method is simple and easy to implement.

[0147] The partition 120 and the juice receiving tray 110 can also be set as an integral structure, thereby improving the sealing performance between the partition 120 and the juice receiving tray 110.

[0148] Combined Figure 8 with Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the juice receiving tray 110 includes: a tray body 113 and a second inner cylinder 114. A convex portion 130 is provided on the tray body 113, and the convex portion 130 protrudes from the top of the tray body 113. The second inner cylinder 114 is located in the steam generation chamber 121. The top of the second inner cylinder 114 is connected to the tray body 113. The side of the second inner cylinder 114 is spaced from the side of the partition member 120. A steam supply port 111 is provided on the second inner cylinder 114.

[0149] There is a gap between the side of the second inner cylinder 114 and the side of the partition member 120. When the water between the second inner cylinder 114 and the partition member 120 is heated to steam, this part of the steam flows into the cooking chamber 310 through the steam supply port 111 on the second inner cylinder 114. Since the convex portion 130 protrudes from the tray body 113, the food juice on the tray body 113 is not likely to cross the convex portion 130, avoiding the food juice on the tray body 113 from contacting the steam supply port 111 on the second inner cylinder 114.

[0150] Combined with Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the bottom of the second inner cylinder 114 is spaced from the bottom wall of the steam generation chamber 121, and a second through hole 115 is provided at the bottom of the second inner cylinder 114. The second through hole 115 is in communication with the steam generation chamber 121.

[0151] The second through hole 115 is provided at the bottom of the second inner cylinder 114, and the inside of the second inner cylinder 114 is in communication with the steam generation chamber 121 through the second through hole 115. Therefore, a part of the water in the steam generation chamber 121 can flow into the inside of the second inner cylinder 114 through the second through hole 115.

[0152] During the process of placing the second inner cylinder 114 into the water supply area 221, the second inner cylinder 114 will be affected by the buoyancy of the water, resulting in the second inner cylinder 114 floating under the action of the buoyancy, so that the second inner cylinder 114 and the partition member 120 cannot be stably placed. By providing the second through hole 115 at the bottom of the second inner cylinder 114, the water in the steam generation chamber 121 can flow into the inside of the second inner cylinder 114 through the second through hole 115, reducing the buoyancy effect of the water on the second inner cylinder 114, so that the second inner cylinder 114 and the partition member 120 can be conveniently placed.

[0153] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the juice receiving tray 110 further includes: a guiding member 150. The guiding member 150 is connected to the juice receiving tray 110, and a steam flow channel 151 is provided on the guiding member 150.

[0154] A steam flow channel 151 is provided on the flow guide member 150. The flow guide member 150 is used to guide the recovered steam so that the steam can flow along the flow guide member 150. Under the guiding action of the flow guide member 150, the steam exchanges heat with the water in the water supply area 221 along a set route.

[0155] In some embodiments, optionally, the flow guide member 150 includes a bent flow guide member, and the bent flow guide member is used to form at least one bent section on the steam flow channel 151.

[0156] The longer the path of the steam flowing in the steam flow channel 151, the longer the heat exchange time between the steam and the water. Therefore, at least one bent section is formed on the steam flow channel 151 to extend the length of the steam flow channel 151, thereby increasing the flow duration of the steam in the steam flow channel 151, increasing the heat exchange duration between the steam and the water, and improving the heat recovery effect.

[0157] In some embodiments, optionally, the flow guide member 150 is configured to extend into the water supply area 221, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is used to contact and exchange heat with the water in the water supply area 221.

[0158] In a possible application, a part of the flow guide member 150 is immersed in the water in the water supply area 221, so that the water can exchange heat with the flow guide member 150. When the steam flows in the steam flow channel 151, the steam can indirectly exchange heat with the water through the flow guide member 150.

[0159] Alternatively, an opening is provided at the bottom of the flow guide member 150, so that the steam flow channel 151 in the flow guide member 150 is in direct contact with the water, thereby enabling the steam to directly exchange heat with the water. A part of the flow guide member 150 is immersed in the water, and the water acts as a barrier to the steam, ensuring that the steam can only flow in the steam flow channel 151 and is not likely to flow out of the steam flow channel 151. That is, it can ensure that the steam can stably exchange heat with the water and also ensure that the steam flow channel 151 can stably guide the steam.

[0160] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the juice receiving tray assembly 100 further includes: a filter screen 160, and the filter screen 160 is located in the steam flow channel 151.

[0161] The steam can pass through the filter screen 160, but the filter screen 160 can reduce the flow rate of the steam in the steam flow channel 151, thereby extending the flow duration of the steam in the steam flow channel 151, and further increasing the heat exchange duration between the steam and the water.

[0162] In some embodiments, optionally, along the extension direction of the steam flow channel 151, the length of the steam flow channel 151 is greater than or equal to 1000 mm.

[0163] The longer the length of the steam flow channel 151, the longer the flow time of the steam in the steam flow channel 151, so that the heat exchange time between the steam and water can be increased, and the heat recovery effect can be improved.

[0164] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the width W of the steam flow channel 151 satisfies W≥5 mm.

[0165] The larger the width of the steam flow channel 151, the larger the heat exchange area between the steam and water, which is beneficial to improving the heat recovery efficiency.

[0166] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a base assembly 200 is proposed. The base assembly 200 is used for a cooking device. The base assembly 200 includes: a base 210, a water tank 220, and the juice collecting tray assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments. The water tank 220 is connected to the base 210. A water supply area 221 is provided in the water tank 220. The juice collecting tray 110 is arranged on the water tank 220, and a part of the juice collecting tray 110 extends into the water supply area 221.

[0167] The water tank 220 is used for storing water. The juice collecting tray assembly 100 is arranged at the opening position of the water tank 220. A water supply area 221 is formed between the juice collecting tray assembly 100 and the water tank 220. The water in the water tank 220 can be heated into steam, and the steam is discharged into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111 on the juice collecting tray assembly 100.

[0168] A steam flow channel 151 is arranged on one side of the juice collecting tray 110. The steam can heat the food in the cooking cavity 310. As the amount of steam in the cooking cavity 310 gradually increases, the steam in the cooking cavity 310 can flow into the steam flow channel 151 from the steam inlet 112, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is used for heat exchange with the chamber generating steam, thereby realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding waste of the heat of the steam.

[0169] A partition 120 is arranged on one side of the juice collecting tray 110. The partition 120 can separate the steam supply port 111 and the steam flow channel 151, so that the steam flowing to the steam supply port 111 and the steam in the steam flow channel 151 are not easily mixed with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by heating water is not easily flowing to the steam flow channel 151, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is not easily discharged into the cooking cavity 310 again, ensuring that the steam flowing to the cooking cavity 310 and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 are two parts of steam that are almost independent of each other, avoiding the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 from reducing the temperature of the newly generated steam, and thus the heating speed of the food can be guaranteed.

[0170] In a possible application, the juice collection tray assembly 100 is lapped on the water tank 220. The user can lift the juice collection tray assembly 100 to pour out the juice, and it is convenient for the user to clean the inside of the water tank 220.

[0171] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 200 further includes: a heating element 230, the heating element 230 is disposed on the water tank 220 and / or the base 210, and the heating element 230 is used to heat the water in the water tank 220 so as to generate steam in the water tank 220.

[0172] The heating element 230 can be disposed on the water tank 220, and the heating element 230 can heat the water in the water tank 220, so that steam can be generated in the water tank 220.

[0173] The heating element 230 can also be installed on the base 210.

[0174] In a possible application, the heating element 230 is disposed opposite to the steam generation chamber 121, so that the heating element 230 is only used to heat the water in the steam generation chamber 121, which is beneficial to the speed of generating steam.

[0175] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the base assembly 200 further includes: a steam generator 240, the steam generator 240 is connected to the water tank 220, the steam generator 240 is used to generate steam, and the steam flows into the cooking chamber 310 through the steam supply port 111.

[0176] A steam generator 240 for generating steam can be separately provided in the water tank 220, and the steam generated by the steam generator 240 flows into the steam supply port 111.

[0177] In a possible application, the steam generator 240 is disposed in the steam generation chamber 121.

[0178] The steam generator 240 can generate steam, Figure 8 which only shows that a steam generator 240 is provided on the water tank 220, and the structure of the steam generator 240 is not specifically limited as long as it is a component capable of generating steam.

[0179] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a part of the juice collection tray 110 extends out of the side of the base 210, and a steam outlet 116 is provided on a part of the juice collection tray 110 extending out of the side of the base 210. The steam outlet 116 is communicated with the steam flow channel 151, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is discharged outward through the steam outlet 116.

[0180] The steam outlet 116 is provided on the side of the juice receiving tray 110. Therefore, the steam in the steam flow channel 151 can be directly discharged outwards through the steam outlet 116 on the juice receiving tray 110. Both the steam inlet 112 and the steam outlet 116 are provided on the juice receiving tray 110. Therefore, there is no need to provide an outlet for steam discharge on the water tank 220, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the water tank 220.

[0181] In a possible application, the opening of the steam outlet 116 is arranged facing upwards. When the steam is discharged from the steam outlet 116, 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.

[0182] The steam flows through the steam flow channel 151 and is discharged outwards through the steam outlet 116. That is, the steam that has been cooled by heat exchange in the steam flow channel 151 can be discharged from the cooking device. Since the temperature of the steam discharged from the cooking device is relatively low, the user around the cooking device is not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the user during the cooking process.

[0183] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0184] In some embodiments, optionally, the water tank 220 is located inside the base 210. The base 210 is provided with an air outlet 212, and the steam flow channel 151 is connected to the air outlet 212. The steam that flows back into the steam flow channel 151 is discharged outwards through the air outlet 212.

[0185] The steam flows through the steam flow channel 151 and is discharged outwards through the air outlet 212. That is, the steam that has been cooled by heat exchange in the steam flow channel 151 can be discharged from the cooking device. Since the temperature of the steam discharged from the cooking device is relatively low, the user around the cooking device is not easily scalded by the steam, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the user during the cooking process.

[0186] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in

[0187] When the fan 250 operates, the fan 250 is used to pump the steam in the steam flow channel 151 towards the air outlet 212. Driven by the fan 250, 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 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, thus avoiding the formation of condensed water.

[0188] An installation cavity 211 is provided on the base 210. The fan 250 is installed in the installation cavity 211. The installation cavity 211 is used to connect the steam outlet 116 and the air outlet 212. By arranging the fan 250 in the installation cavity 211, the air flow flowing into the installation cavity 211 basically comes from the steam outlet 116, and it is not easy for the fan 250 to extract the air inside the base 210, so as to ensure that the steam in the steam flow channel 151 is discharged at a relatively high flow rate, further avoiding the formation of condensed water in the steam discharged from the cooking device.

[0189] In some embodiments, optionally, the bottom of the partition 120 is spaced from the bottom wall of the water supply area 221.

[0190] The water in the water supply area 221 can be replenished into the steam generation cavity 121 through the bottom of the partition 120, avoiding the problem of interference in the steam generation cavity 121.

[0191] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiments of the present invention, a cooking device is proposed, including: a steamer assembly 300 and the base assembly 200 in any of the above embodiments. The steamer assembly 300 is provided on the base assembly 200. The steamer assembly 300 has a cooking cavity 310, and both the steam supply port 111 and the steam inlet 112 are communicated with the cooking cavity 310.

[0192] A steam flow channel 151 is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray 110. The steam can heat the ingredients in the cooking cavity 310. As the amount of steam in the cooking cavity 310 gradually increases, the steam in the cooking cavity 310 can flow into the steam flow channel 151 from the steam inlet 112, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is used for heat exchange with the steam generation chamber, thereby realizing the recovery of the heat of the steam and avoiding waste of the heat of the steam.

[0193] A partition 120 is provided on one side of the juice receiving tray 110, and the partition 120 can separate the steam supply port 111 and the steam flow channel 151, so that the steam flowing to the steam supply port 111 and the steam in the steam flow channel 151 are not easy to mix with each other. Therefore, the steam generated by the heated water is not easy to flow to the steam flow channel 151, and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 is not easy to be discharged into the cooking cavity 310 again, ensuring that the steam flowing to the cooking cavity 310 and the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 are two parts of steam that are close to being independent of each other, avoiding the steam flowing back into the steam flow channel 151 from lowering the temperature of the newly generated steam, thereby ensuring the heating speed of the food.

[0194] In some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steam return pipe 400 , a first end of the steam return pipe 400 is connected to the steam inlet 112 , and a second end of the steam return pipe 400 extends toward the top of the cooking cavity 310 .

[0195] One end of the steam return pipe 400 is connected to the steam inlet 112, and the other end of the steam return pipe 400 extends to the top of the cooking cavity 310. After the steam flows into the cooking cavity 310 through the steam supply port 111, the steam rises in the cooking cavity 310. Since the height of the steam return pipe 400 is relatively high, the steam will flow into the steam return pipe 400 only when the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity 310. Therefore, when a part of the steam flows to the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam basically fills the cooking cavity 310, so that the temperature of each place in the cooking cavity 310 is relatively high, ensuring that the steam has a uniform heating effect on the food.

[0196] By installing the steam reflux pipe 400 on the steam inlet 112, the steam is not likely to flow directly to the steam inlet 112, thereby ensuring that the steam can effectively heat the food.

[0197] In some embodiments, optionally, the distance between the second end of the steam reflux pipe 400 and the cavity side wall of the cooking cavity 310 is L1, and L1 satisfies, L1≤50mm.

[0198] The steam in the cooking cavity 310 flows to the steam flow channel 151 through the second end of the steam return pipe 400. The closer the second end of the steam return pipe 400 is to the side wall of the cooking cavity 310, the longer the steam in the cooking cavity 310 flows to the steam return pipe 400.

[0199] Specifically, the distance between the second end of the steam return pipe 400 and the side wall of the cooking cavity 310 is L1, where L1 ≤ 50 mm. Therefore, the distance between the second end of the steam return pipe 400 and the side wall of the cooking cavity 310 is small, and the second end of the steam return pipe 400 is far from above the middle of the water receiving tray. When the steam flows upward to the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam will not directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe 400. When the steam reaches the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam will flow along the top of the cooking cavity 310 to the side of the cooking cavity 310 for a certain distance before flowing into the steam return pipe 400. By the above method, the flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity 310 is increased, which is beneficial to ensuring a higher temperature in the cooking cavity 310 and improving the heating effect on the food materials.

[0200] In some embodiments, optionally, the distance between the orthographic projection of the second end of the steam return pipe 400 on the juice receiving tray assembly 100 and the steam supply port 111 is L2, and L2 satisfies L2 ≥ 50 mm.

[0201] The steam in the cooking cavity 310 flows to the steam flow channel 151 through the second end of the steam return pipe 400. The second end of the steam flow channel 151 has an orthographic projection on the water receiving tray. The larger the distance between the orthographic projection and the steam supply port 111, the longer the time for the steam in the cooking cavity 310 to flow to the steam return pipe 400.

[0202] For example, when the steam supply port 111 is arranged in the middle of the water receiving tray, if the distance between the orthographic projection of the second end of the steam return pipe 400 on the water receiving tray and the steam supply port 111 is small, it means that the second end of the steam return pipe 400 is close to above the middle of the water receiving tray. When the steam flows upward to the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam will directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe 400, resulting in a shorter flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity 310.

[0203] In this embodiment, it is defined that the distance between the projection of the second end of the steam return pipe 400 on the water receiving tray and the steam supply port 111 is L2, where L2 ≥ 50 mm. In this range, the second end of the steam return pipe 400 is far from above the middle of the water receiving tray. When the steam flows upward to the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam will not directly pass through the second end of the steam return pipe 400. When the steam reaches the top of the cooking cavity 310, the steam will flow along the top of the cooking cavity 310 to the side of the cooking cavity 310 for a certain distance before flowing into the steam return pipe 400. By the above method, the flow time of the steam in the cooking cavity 310 is increased, which is beneficial to ensuring a higher temperature in the cooking cavity 310 and improving the heating effect on the food materials.

[0204] In some embodiments, optionally, the steamer assembly 300 includes a steamer 320 and a lid 330. The steamer 320 is disposed on the base assembly 200, and the lid 330 covers the steamer 320 to form a closed space inside the lid 330 and the steamer 320.

[0205] Food ingredients can be placed inside the steamer 320, and the space inside the lid 330 and the steamer 320 is the cooking chamber 310. When the lid 330 covers the inside of the steamer 320, the inside of the lid 330 and the steamer 320 is in a closed state, that is, no air holes for exhausting are provided on the lid 330, so that the gas inside the cooking chamber 310 will not be discharged outward through the lid 330, thereby ensuring that the cooking device can recover the heat of the steam and reducing the temperature of the steam discharged outward.
