Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and particularly to a water tank, a cooking cup assembly and a cooking machine. Background Art
[0002] A cooking machine includes a cooking cup and a water tank. The cooking cup includes a cup body. The water tank adds water into the cup body for cooking food. However, in some cases, the water in the cup body or the mixture of water and food may overflow. The overflowed water or the mixture will dirty the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of this application is to disclose a water tank, a cooking cup assembly and a cooking machine. The water tank can collect the water or the mixture of water and food overflowing from the cup body, and prevent the water or the mixture of water and food from dirtying the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0004] In a first aspect, this application discloses a water tank applied to a cooking machine with a cooking cup, and the cooking cup includes a cup body. The water tank includes an overflow channel, a waste water chamber and a clean water chamber. The overflow channel is communicated with the waste water chamber and is also used to communicate with the cup body when the water or the mixture of water and food in the cooking cup overflows. Both the overflow channel and the waste water chamber are isolated from the clean water chamber.
[0005] With the above arrangement, because the overflow channel, the waste water chamber and the clean water chamber are provided, both the overflow channel and the waste water chamber are isolated from the clean water chamber, and the overflow channel is used to communicate with the cup body when the water or the mixture of water and food in the cooking cup overflows. Thus, the water or the mixture flows into the waste water chamber through the overflow channel and will not flow into the clean water chamber, and is collected by the waste water chamber. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the water or the mixture of water and food from dirtying the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0006] In some embodiments, the water tank includes a top plate, and the top plate is provided with an overflow port of the overflow channel; a water retaining wall is arranged between the top plate and the side wall of the clean water chamber to block the overflowed water or the mixture of water and food from flowing into the clean water chamber.
[0007] With the above arrangement, due to the provision of the water retaining wall, and the water retaining wall is separated at the head and the tail to form a communication port communicating with the waste water chamber. When water or the mixture of water and food overflows, the blocking effect of the water retaining wall causes the water or the mixture of water and food not to flow into the clean water chamber but to flow into the waste water chamber, which can better prevent the water or the mixture of water and food from dirtying the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0008] In some embodiments, the water retaining wall is separated at the head and the tail to form a communication port communicating with the waste water chamber.
[0009] With the above settings, the water blocked by the water retaining wall can directly flow into the waste water chamber through the communication port, without flowing into the purified water chamber, further preventing waste water from entering the purified water chamber.
[0010] In some embodiments, the water tank includes a top plate, and the top plate is provided with an overflow outlet of the overflow channel; with reference to the overflow direction, the overflow outlet is located at the top of the water tank, the water inlet of the waste water chamber and the top opening of the purified water chamber are both located at the top of the water tank; the top plate is inclined so that the water inlet is lower than the top opening.
[0011] With the above settings, since the top plate is inclined so that the water inlet is lower than the top opening, the top plate serves as a reflux area, enabling water or a mixture of water and food to flow into the waste water chamber more effectively. Furthermore, it can better prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0012] In some embodiments, the angle between the top plate and the horizontal plane is a, where 0° < a ≤ 10°.
[0013] With the above settings, since 0° < a ≤ 10°, it can better prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed. At the same time, the speed of water or a mixture of water and food will not be too fast, avoiding splashing.
[0014] In a second aspect, the present application discloses a cooking cup assembly. The cooking cup assembly includes a cooking cup and any one of the above water tanks. Among them, the cooking cup is located inside the water tank and includes a cup lid assembly that covers the cup body. The cup lid assembly includes a cup lid and a center lid assembled with the cup lid; the channel wall of the overflow channel surrounds the center lid, and the channel wall is hermetically connected to the cup lid.
[0015] With the above settings, the cooking cup assembly at least has the beneficial effects of the water tank, which will not be elaborated here.
[0016] In some embodiments, the water tank includes an exhaust hole, and the exhaust hole is communicated with the overflow channel.
[0017] With the above settings, since there is an exhaust hole and the exhaust hole is communicated with the overflow channel, during the process of discharging steam, the steam enters the overflow channel through the space between the center lid and the cup lid, and then is discharged through the exhaust hole. The path of the steam is relatively long. Combined with the fact that the channel wall surrounds the center lid and is hermetically connected to the cup lid, in addition to the above-mentioned prevention of water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the tabletop, the overflow channel can also reduce the noise generated by the steam.
[0018] In some embodiments, the cup lid includes a through-hole; the central lid is a baffle, including a baffle body and a mounting post connected to the baffle body; the mounting post is fixed to the cup lid; the baffle body covers or opens the through-hole of the cup lid.
[0019] With the above arrangement, when water or a mixture of water and food overflows, the water or the mixture of water and food lifts the baffle body to open the through-hole of the cup lid. Thus, the water or the mixture of water and food will eventually flow into the waste water chamber. When water or a mixture of water and food does not overflow, the baffle body is not subjected to a force and covers the through-hole of the cup lid. Of course, when the pressure of the steam is relatively high, the steam will exert a force on the baffle body to open the through-hole of the cup lid. When the pressure of the steam is relatively low, the baffle body covers the through-hole of the cup lid. Thus, the structure of the above-mentioned cooking cup assembly is simple, and the structure for preventing water or a mixture of water and food from overflowing is simple.
[0020] In some embodiments, the cup lid is provided with a through mounting hole, the mounting post is elastic and includes a clamping portion; the clamping portion passes through the mounting hole along with the mounting post and abuts against the edge of the mounting hole.
[0021] With the above arrangement, since the clamping portion abuts against the edge of the mounting hole, in this way, the central lid is prevented from falling off with a simple structure.
[0022] In some embodiments, the cup lid is provided with a circumferential groove; the cooking cup assembly includes a seal for wrapping the channel wall, and the seal is clamped in the groove to achieve the sealed connection.
[0023] With the above arrangement, installing the water tank will cause the seal to be clamped in the groove to achieve a sealed connection, which is convenient for sealing.
[0024] In a third aspect, the present application discloses a cooking machine. The cooking machine includes any one of the foregoing cooking cup assemblies and a base. The cooking cup is placed on the base, and the water tank is placed on the base and covers the cooking cup.
[0025] With the above arrangement, the cooking machine at least has the beneficial effects of the water tank or the cooking cup assembly, which will not be elaborated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the present application discloses a water tank 10, which is applied to a cooking machine having a cooking cup 20. The cooking cup 20 includes a cup body 203 and a cup cover assembly that covers the cup body 203. The cup cover assembly includes a center cover 201 and a cup cover 202. In this implementation manner, the water tank 10 includes a water tank main body 1 and a water tank cover 2 that covers the water tank main body 1. The water tank cover 2 includes a water tank cover body 21 and an exhaust cover 22. However, the structure of the water tank cover 2 is not limited thereto. The water tank cover 2 and the water tank main body 1 are independent structures. In some implementation manners, the water tank cover 2 and the water tank main body 1 may be an integral structure. The water tank 10 includes an overflow channel 11, a wastewater chamber 12, and a purified water chamber 13. In this implementation manner, it is the water tank main body 1 that includes the overflow channel 11, the wastewater chamber 12, and the purified water chamber 13. The overflow channel 11 communicates with the wastewater chamber 12 and is also used to communicate with the cup body 203 when water or a mixture of water and food in the cooking cup 20 overflows. Both the overflow channel 11 and the wastewater chamber 12 are isolated from the purified water chamber 13.
[0034] With the above settings, since the overflow channel 11, the wastewater chamber 12 and the purified water chamber 13 are provided, both the overflow channel 11 and the wastewater chamber 12 are isolated from the purified water chamber 13, and the overflow channel 11 is used to communicate with the cup body 203 when water or a mixture of water and food overflows in the cooking cup 20. Thus, the water or the mixture flows through the overflow channel 11 into the wastewater chamber 12 and will not flow into the purified water chamber 13, and is collected by the wastewater chamber 12. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0035] See Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the water tank 10 includes a top plate 14. In the present application, the top plate 14 is the top of the water tank body 1. The top plate 14 is provided with an overflow outlet 111 of the overflow channel 11. A water retaining wall 15 is provided between the top plate 14 and the side wall of the purified water chamber 13 to prevent water or a mixture of water and food from flowing into the purified water chamber 13.
[0036] With the above settings, since the water retaining wall 15 is provided, when water or a mixture of water and food overflows, the blocking effect of the water retaining wall 15 causes the water or the mixture of water and food not to flow into the purified water chamber 13, which can better prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench on which the cooking machine is placed.
[0037] In some embodiments, the water retaining wall 15 is separated at the head and tail to form a communication port 151 communicating with the wastewater chamber 12.
[0038] With the above settings, and the water retaining wall 15 is separated at the head and tail to form a communication port 151 communicating with the wastewater chamber 12, the water blocked by the water retaining wall 15 can directly flow into the wastewater chamber 12 from the communication port 151 and will not flow into the purified water chamber 13, further preventing wastewater from entering the purified water chamber 13.
[0039] See Figure 4 and Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the water tank 10 includes a top plate 14, and the top plate 14 is provided with an overflow outlet 111 of the overflow channel 11. Taking the overflow direction as a reference, the overflow direction is as shown by Figure 3 arrow A. The overflow outlet 111 is located at the top of the water tank 10, and the water inlet 121 of the wastewater chamber 12 and the top chamber opening 131 of the purified water chamber 13 are both located at the top of the water tank 10. The top plate 14 is inclined so that the water inlet 121 is lower than the top chamber opening 131. Figure 4It is shown that the inclination angle of the top plate 14 is a. Those skilled in the art can understand that when the top plate 14 is inclined, the water retaining wall 15 can be set as shown in the figure, or the water retaining wall 15 can be not set.
[0040] With the above settings, since the top plate 14 is inclined so that the water inlet 121 is lower than the top cavity opening 131, the top plate 14 serves as a reflux area, which can better enable water or a mixture of water and food to flow into the wastewater chamber 12. Furthermore, it can better prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench for placing the cooking machine.
[0041] See Figure 4 , the angle between the top plate 14 and the horizontal plane is a, 0° < a ≤ 10°, for example, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9° or 10°.
[0042] With the above settings, since 0° < a ≤ 10°, it can better prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench for placing the cooking machine. At the same time, the speed of water or a mixture of water and food will not be too fast to avoid splashing.
[0043] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application discloses a cooking cup assembly. The cooking cup assembly includes a cooking cup 20 and any one of the above-mentioned water tanks 10. The cooking cup 20 is located inside the water tank 10 and includes a center cover 201 assembled with a cup lid 202. The channel wall 112 of the overflow channel 11 surrounds the center cover 201. See Figure 5 and Figure 4 , the channel wall 112 is sealingly connected to the cup lid 202. The manner of sealing connection is not limited.
[0044] With the above settings, after the channel wall 112 is sealingly connected to the cup lid 202, the overflowed water or a mixture of water and food can only move upward along the overflow channel 11, and then flow into the wastewater chamber 12 after passing through the overflow port 111. Therefore, it can prevent water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the cooking machine or the workbench for placing the cooking machine.
[0045] See Figure 4 and Figure 1 , the water tank 10 includes an exhaust hole 16. In this embodiment, the exhaust hole 16 is provided on the exhaust cover 22. The exhaust hole 16 is communicated with the overflow channel 11.
[0046] With the above - mentioned arrangement, since the exhaust hole 16 is provided and the exhaust hole 16 communicates with the overflow channel 11, during the process of discharging steam, the steam enters the overflow channel 11 through the space between the central cover 201 and the cup cover 202, and then is discharged through the exhaust hole 16. The path of the steam is relatively long. Coupled with the fact that the channel wall 112 surrounds the central cover 201 and is hermetically connected to the cup cover 202, in addition to the aforementioned prevention of water or a mixture of water and food from soiling the blender or the countertop, the overflow channel 11 can also reduce the noise generated by the steam.
[0047] See Figure 5 , the cup cover 202 includes a cup - cover through - hole 2021. The central cover 201 is a baffle, including a baffle body 2011 and a mounting post 2012 connected to the baffle body 2011. The mounting post is fixed to the cup cover 202, and the way of fixation is not limited to the embodiments described in this application. The baffle body 2011 covers the cup - cover through - hole 2021 or opens the cup - cover through - hole 2021.
[0048] With the above - mentioned arrangement, when water or a mixture of water and food overflows, the water or the mixture of water and food lifts the baffle body 2011 to open the cup - cover through - hole 2021. Thus, the water or the mixture of water and food will ultimately flow into the waste water chamber 12. When water or a mixture of water and food does not overflow, the baffle body 2011 is not subjected to a force and covers the cup - cover through - hole 2021. Of course, when the pressure of the steam is relatively high, the steam will exert a force on the baffle body 2011 to open the cup - cover through - hole 2021. When the pressure of the steam is relatively low, the baffle body 2011 covers the cup - cover through - hole 2021. Thus, the structure of the above - mentioned cooking cup assembly is simple, and the structure for preventing water or a mixture of water and food from overflowing is simple.
[0049] See Figure 5 And combined with Figure 4 , the cup cover 202 includes a through - hole mounting hole 2022, the mounting post 2012 is elastic and includes a clamping portion 2013; the clamping portion 2013 passes through the mounting hole 2022 along with the mounting post 2012 and abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 2022.
[0050] With the above - mentioned arrangement, since the clamping portion 2013 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 2022, in this way, the central cover 201 is prevented from falling off with a simple structure.
[0051] See Figure 5 , the cup cover 202 is provided with a circular groove 2023; the cooking cup assembly includes a seal 3 that wraps the channel wall 112. The seal 3 is clamped in the circular groove 2023 to achieve the hermetic connection.
[0052] With the above settings, installing the water tank 10 will cause the seal 3 to be stuck in the groove 2023 to achieve a sealed connection, which is convenient for sealing.
[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 Thirdly, the present application discloses a cooking machine. The cooking machine includes any one of the foregoing cooking cup assemblies and a base 30. The cooking cup 20 is placed on the base 30, and the water tank 10 is placed on the base 30 and covers the cooking cup 20. In this embodiment, the cooking cup 20 includes a motor 204. In some other embodiments, the motor 204 can also be arranged on the base 30.
[0054] With the above settings, the cooking machine has at least the beneficial effects of the water tank 10 or the cooking cup assembly, which will not be elaborated here.
[0055] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the drawings; any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
