The heating fan 22 may be used to provide wind force, allowing air in the cooking cavity 20 to enter the fan housing 210, and allowing air in the fan housing 210 to enter the cooking cavity 20, thereby forming an air circulation between the cooking cavity 20 and the fan housing 210.

[0097] In some embodiments, the heating module may include a heating ring 23. The heating ring 23 may be disposed inside the fan compartment 210. The heating ring 23 may be annular in structure. The heating ring 23 may be circumferentially arranged around the heating fan 22. The heating ring 23 may heat the air inside the fan compartment 210. When the heating ring 23 and the heating fan 22 are in operation, the heating ring 23 may form hot air inside the fan compartment 210. The wind force of the heating fan 22 may transport the hot air inside the fan compartment 210 into the cooking cavity 20, thereby increasing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 20. The air inside the cooking cavity 20 may re-enter the fan compartment 210 under the action of the wind force of the heating fan 22 and be reheated by the heating ring 23, thereby forming a hot air circulation inside the cooking cavity 20 and the fan compartment 210.

[0098] See also Figure 5 ,and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the air guide 21 may be provided with an air inlet 211. The air inlet 211 may be positioned directly opposite the air intake side of the heating fan 22. The air inlet 211 may connect the fan compartment 210 and the cooking chamber 20. When the heating fan 22 is operating, the heating fan 22 may draw air from the cooking chamber 20 through the air inlet 211, and the air enters the fan compartment 210. The air entering the fan compartment 210 may be heated by the heating ring 23 and then transported back into the cooking chamber 20.

[0099] In some embodiments, the air inlet portion 211 may be an air inlet hole 2111. A plurality of air inlet holes 2111 may be provided. The plurality of air inlet holes 2111 may be arranged directly opposite the air suction side of the heating fan 22. It should be noted that the number of air inlet holes 2111 may be adjusted as needed and is not limited herein.

[0100] In some embodiments, multiple air inlet holes 2111 can be combined to form a grille hole structure. The air inlet holes 2111 can be an arc-shaped hole structure. Multiple air inlet holes 2111 can form a grille ring. The grille ring can be arranged around the center of the grille hole. Multiple air inlet holes 2111 can form multiple grille rings. Multiple grille rings can be arranged concentrically. Multiple grille rings can be arranged in sequence from the center to the outside. By combining multiple air inlet holes 2111 to form multiple grille rings and a grille hole structure, the air entering the fan compartment 210 can be filtered to prevent food or larger foreign objects from entering the fan compartment 210, thereby avoiding affecting the normal operation of the heating module.

[0101] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the air inlet hole 2111 may also adopt a circular hole structure, or the air inlet hole 2111 may also adopt a hole structure of other shapes.

[0102] See also Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet 212 may be provided on the air guide cover 21. The air outlet 212 may connect the fan compartment 210 and the cooking cavity 20. The heating module can heat the air in the fan compartment 210, and transport hot air to the cooking cavity 20 through the air outlet 212, thereby increasing the temperature in the cooking cavity 20. Specifically, the air in the fan compartment 210 can be heated by the heating ring 23. The wind force of the heating fan 22 can be used to transport the hot air in the fan compartment 210 to the cooking cavity 20 through the air outlet 212, so that the air in the cooking cavity 20 enters the fan compartment 210 through the air inlet 211 and is reheated by the heating ring 23, thereby realizing the hot air circulation between the fan compartment 210 and the cooking cavity 20.

[0103] See Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet 212 may be provided on the upper side of the air guide 21. The upper air outlet 212 may connect the top area of the fan compartment 210 and the top area of the cooking cavity 20. The fan compartment 210 may deliver hot air to the top area of the cooking cavity 20 through the upper air outlet 212 of the air guide 21.

[0104] In some embodiments, an air outlet 212 may be provided on the lower side of the air guide 21. The lower air outlet 212 may connect the lower area of the fan compartment 210 and the bottom area of the cooking cavity 20. The fan compartment 210 may deliver hot air to the bottom area of the cooking cavity 20 through the lower air outlet 212 of the air guide 21.

[0105] In some embodiments, an air outlet 212 may be provided on the left side of the air guide 21. The left air outlet 212 may connect the left area of the fan compartment 210 with the left area of the cooking cavity 20. The fan compartment 210 may deliver hot air to the left area of the cooking cavity 20 through the left air outlet 212 of the air guide 21.

[0106] In some embodiments, an air outlet 212 may be provided on the right side of the air scoop 21. The right air outlet 212 may connect the right area of the fan compartment 210 with the right area of the cooking cavity 20.

[0108] See also Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the steam module may include a steam generator 4. The steam generator 4 can be used to generate high-temperature steam. The steam generator 4 can be located inside the housing 1. The steam generator 4 can also be located outside the inner pot 2. The output end of the steam generator 4 can be connected to the cooking cavity 20 in the inner pot 2 via a steam pipeline (not shown). The steam generated by the steam generator 4 can be transported into the cooking cavity 20, thereby creating a high-temperature steam environment in the cooking cavity 20 of the inner pot 2, thereby realizing the steam cooking function in the cooking cavity 20.

[0109] In some embodiments, the steam generator 4 can be connected to the interior of the steam box 3 in the cooking cavity 20 through a steam pipeline, thereby creating a high-temperature steam environment inside the steam box 3 to achieve a steam cooking function inside the steam box 3.

[0110] See also Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the steam generator 4 can be provided on the rear wall of the support back plate 14 , and the steam generator 4 can be arranged at intervals outside the inner pot 2 and the cooking cavity 20 .

[0111] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the steam generator 4 may also be directly disposed on the rear wall of the inner container 2 , or the steam generator 4 may also be arranged on the supporting top plate 13 .

[0112] See also Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the steam module may include a steam connector 5. The steam connector 5 may be disposed through the rear wall of the inner container 2 and the air guide 21. The rear end of the steam connector 5 may be exposed on the outer wall of the inner container 2, and the front end of the steam connector 5 may be protruding from the front side of the air guide 21, so that the outer end of the steam connector 5 can protrude outside the inner container 2. The inner end of the steam connector 5 may be protruding from the rear wall of the cooking chamber 20. The output port of the steam generator 4 may be connected to the outer end of the steam connector 5 via a steam pipeline. The air inlet 3111 of the steam box 3 may be disposed on the rear wall of the steam box 3. When the steam box 3 is disposed within the cooking chamber 20, the front end of the steam connector 5 can be connected to the air inlet 3111 on the rear wall of the steam box 3, allowing steam from the steam generator 4 to be delivered into the steam box 3 through the steam pipeline, the steam connector 5, and the air inlet 3111.

[0113] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steam connector 5 can also be installed through other side walls of the inner pot 2, so that the inner end of the steam connector 5 protrudes from other side walls of the cooking cavity 20. When the steam box 3 is located inside the cooking cavity 20, the inner end of the steam connector 5 can be connected to the air inlet 3111 on the outer wall of the steam box 3, allowing the steam generator 4 to be delivered into the steam box 3 through the steam pipeline, the steam connector 5, and the air inlet 3111.

[0114] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a stepped portion 51 may be protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the steam connector 5, and the stepped portion 51 may be located within the fan compartment 210. The stepped portion 51 may abut against the rear wall of the inner container 2. By abutting the stepped portion 51 against the rear wall of the inner container 2, the rear end of the steam connector 5 can be limited when the front end of the steam connector 5 is docked with the air inlet 3111 of the steam box 3, preventing the steam connector 5 from moving backward, thereby ensuring stable docking and communication between the steam connector 5 and the steam box 3.

[0115] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the rear end of the steam connector 5 may be sleeved with a first fixing sleeve 52. The first fixing sleeve 52 may be provided on the outside of the inner liner 2. The first fixing sleeve 52 may abut against the rear wall of the inner liner 2. The step portion 51 and the first fixing sleeve 52 may be clamped on the front and rear sides of the rear wall of the inner liner 2, thereby fixing the steam connector 5 axially to the rear wall of the inner liner 2, thereby achieving axial fixation of the steam connector 5. When the front end of the steam connector 5 is separated from the air inlet 3111 of the steam box 3, the first fixing sleeve 52 may abut against the rear wall of the inner liner 2 to prevent the steam connector 5 from moving forward, thereby ensuring that the steam connector 5 and the steam box 3 can be smoothly separated from each other.

[0116] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the steam connector 5 is provided with an external thread (not shown in the figure). The first fixing sleeve 52 may be provided with a corresponding internal thread (not shown in the figure). The first fixing sleeve 52 may be threadedly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the steam connector 5.

[0117] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first fixing sleeve 52 may also be fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the steam connector 5 by means of snap-fit or interference fit.

[0118] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a first output pipe 41 may be protruding from the outer wall of the steam generator 4. The first output pipe 41 may serve as the output end of the steam generator 4. A first output port (not shown) may be formed within the first output pipe 41, serving as the output port of the steam generator 4. The first output pipe 41 may be connected to the steam connector 5 via a steam line, thereby connecting the first output port to the steam connector 5. Steam generated within the steam generator 4 may be delivered into the cooking cavity 20 or into the interior of the steam box 3 via the first output port, the steam line, and the steam connector 5.

[0119] In some embodiments, a first input pipe 42 may be protruding from the outer wall of the steam generator 4. The first input pipe 42 may serve as the input end of the steam generator 4. A first input port may be formed within the first input pipe 42, serving as the input port of the steam generator 4. The first input pipe 42 may be connected to a water source. The water source may supply water to the interior of the steam generator 4 through the first input port.

[0120] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the water storage box 15 can serve as a water source for the steam generator 4. The first input pipe 42 can be connected to the water storage box 15 through a water inlet pipe (not shown in the figure), so that the first input port is connected to the water storage box 15, and the water in the water storage box 15 can be transported into the steam generator 4 through the first input port, thereby supplying water to the steam generator 4.

[0121] In some embodiments, a water inlet pump 16 may be provided within the housing 1. The water inlet pump 16 may be provided on the water inlet pipe. When the water inlet pump 16 is in operation, it may draw water from the water storage box 15 and deliver the drawn water into the steam generator 4 through the water inlet pipe and the first input port, thereby autonomously and controllably supplying water to the steam generator 4.

[0123] See Figure 11 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, a steam input pipe 311 may be protruding from the rear wall of the steam box 3. An air inlet 3111 may be formed inside the steam input pipe 311. The air inlet 3111 may extend along the front-to-back direction of the steam box 3.

[0124] In some embodiments, a docking tube 312 may be sleeved on the outside of the steam input pipe 311. The rear end of the docking tube 312 may protrude from the rear end of the steam input pipe 311. A docking port 3121 may be formed in the rear end portion of the docking tube 312. The front end of the air inlet 3111 may be in communication with the interior of the steam box 3, and the rear end of the air inlet 3111 may be in communication with the docking port 3121. The docking port 3121 may be provided at the rear end of the air inlet 3111 away from the steam box 3. The docking tube 312 may be used to form the docking port 3121 at the rear end of the air inlet 3111, and the air inlet 3111 and the docking port 3121 may be coaxially docked and connected.

[0125] When the steam box 3 is pushed backward into the cooking cavity 20, the steam connector 5 can be arranged directly opposite the docking port 3121 and can be inserted forward into the docking port 3121 and the air inlet 3111. The steam connector 5 can be extended through the docking port 3121 and inserted into the air inlet 3111, so that the steam connector 5 is connected to the air inlet 3111 and communicates with the interior of the steam box 3.

[0126] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the docking port 3121 can extend along the front-to-back direction of the steam box 3. The diameter of the docking port 3121 can gradually decrease toward the air inlet 3111. Therefore, when the steam box 3 is pushed backward into the cooking cavity 20, the steam connector 5 can smoothly enter the docking port 3121 and then be inserted into the air inlet 3111 along the docking port 3121, allowing the steam connector 5 to smoothly connect with the air inlet 3111, thereby improving user convenience.

[0127] In some embodiments, the docking port 3121 can have a tapered hole structure. The front port of the docking port 3121 can communicate with the rear port of the air inlet 3111. The diameter of the rear port of the docking port 3121 can be larger than the diameter of the front port of the docking port 3121, so that the peripheral sidewalls of the docking port 3121 have a tapered structure. The tapered structure of the docking port 3121 allows the steam connector 5 to enter from any point of the tapered wall of the docking port 3121, allowing a certain docking error between the air inlet 3111 and the steam connector 5, so that the steam connector 5 and the air inlet 3111 can dock and communicate more smoothly.

[0128] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steam input pipe 311 may also be provided on other outer walls of the steam box 3. In this case, one end of the air inlet 3111 may be in communication with the interior of the steam box 3, and the other end of the air inlet 3111 may be in communication with the docking port 3121. The docking port 3121 may be provided at the end of the air inlet 3111 away from the interior of the steam box 3.

[0129] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the front port of the docking port 3121 can be smaller than the diameter of the rear port of the air inlet 3111, thereby allowing the steam connector 5 to be smoothly inserted into the air inlet 3111 along the rear port of the docking port 3121. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the diameter of the front port of the docking port 3121 can also be equal to the diameter of the rear port of the air inlet 3111.

[0130] See Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the docking tube 312 can be detachably mounted on the outer periphery of the steam input pipe 311. The outer peripheral wall of the steam input pipe 311 can be provided with external threads (not shown). The interior of the front end of the docking tube 312 can be provided with internal threads (not shown). The docking tube 312 can be threadedly mounted on the outer periphery of the steam input pipe 311. When the docking tube 312 is threadedly mounted on the exterior of the steam input pipe 311, the air inlet 3111 and the docking port 3121 can be coaxially connected.

[0131] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the butt joint pipe 312 may also be integrally formed with the steam input pipe 311 .

[0133] See Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, in some embodiments, a steam input pipe 311 can be detachably mounted on the rear wall of the steam box 3. A first mounting opening 3101 can be provided on the rear wall of the steam box 3. The steam input pipe 311 can be detachably mounted through the first mounting opening 3101. The steam input pipe 311 can be quickly assembled and disassembled through the first mounting opening 3101, thereby simplifying the structure of the steam box 3.

[0134] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the steam input pipe 311 can also be detachably provided on other side walls of the steam box 3. In some other embodiments, the steam input pipe 311 can also be integrally formed on the rear wall or other side walls of the steam box 3.

[0135] See Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, a first fixing plate 3112 may be protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the inner end of the steam input pipe 311. The first fixing plate 3112 may be disposed on the inner side wall of the steam box 3. The external threads on the outer peripheral wall of the steam input pipe 311 may be disposed on the exterior of the steam box 3. When the docking pipe 312 is sleeved onto the exterior of the steam input pipe 311, the first fixing plate 3112 and the end of the docking pipe 312 may be clamped to the inner and outer sides of the side wall of the steam box 3, thereby securing the steam input pipe 311 to the side wall of the steam box 3.

[0137] See Figures 18 to 20 As shown, in some embodiments, a steam output pipe 313 is provided on the rear wall of the steam box 3, and an air outlet 3131 may be provided inside the steam output pipe 313. The air outlet 3131 may communicate with the interior of the steam box 3. Air or steam in the steam box 3 may be discharged outside the steam box 3 through the air outlet 3131 in the steam output pipe 313.

[0138] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the steam output pipe 313 may also be provided on other outer walls of the steam box 3 .

[0139] See Figure 17As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may include an exhaust connector 7. The exhaust connector 7 may be disposed through the rear wall of the inner pot 2. The front end of the exhaust connector 7 may be disposed within the fan compartment 210. The rear end of the exhaust connector 7 may protrude beyond the rear wall of the inner pot 2. When the steam box 3 is placed within the cooking cavity 20, the steam output pipe 313 may be disposed directly opposite the exhaust connector 7. The steam output pipe 313 may be connected to the exhaust connector 7, allowing the air within the steam box 3 to be discharged from the inner pot 2 through the air outlet 3131 and the exhaust connector 7.

[0140] In some embodiments, when the steam box 3 is placed inside the cooking cavity 20 , the steam output pipe 313 can be inserted into the exhaust connector 7 so that the air outlet 3131 is connected to the exhaust connector 7 .

[0141] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, when the steam box 3 is placed inside the cooking cavity 20 , the exhaust connector 7 may also be inserted into the steam output pipe 313 , so that the air outlet 3131 is connected to the exhaust connector 7 .

[0142] Figure 21 yes Figure 20 A decomposition diagram of .

[0143] See Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, in some embodiments, the steam output pipe 313 can be detachably mounted on the rear wall of the steam box 3. The rear wall of the steam box 3 can be provided with a second mounting opening 3102. The steam output pipe 313 can be detachably mounted through the second mounting opening 3102. The steam output pipe 313 can be quickly assembled and disassembled through the second mounting opening 3102, thereby simplifying the structure of the steam box 3.

[0144] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the steam output pipe 313 may also be detachably provided on other side walls of the steam box 3. In some other embodiments, the steam output pipe 313 may also be integrally formed on the rear wall or other side walls of the steam box 3.

[0145] In some embodiments, a second fixing plate 3132 may be protruded from the outer peripheral wall of the inner end of the steam output pipe 313. The second fixing plate 3132 may be disposed on the inner side wall of the steam box 3. A push tube 314 is disposed on the outer surface of the steam output pipe 313. The push tube 314 may be detachably mounted on the outer periphery of the steam output pipe 313.

[0146] When the push tube 314 is sleeved on the outside of the steam output tube 313, the second fixing plate 3132 and the end of the push tube 314 can be clamped on the inner and outer sides of the side wall of the steam box 3, thereby fixing the steam output tube 313 on the side wall of the steam box 3.

[0147] See Figures 17 to 21As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the steam output pipe 313 may be provided with external threads (not shown). The interior of the front end of the push tube 314 may be provided with internal threads (not shown).

[0148] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the push tube 314 may also be integrally formed with the steam output tube 313 .

[0149] Figure 22 yes Figure 18 Schematic diagram of the structure in another state.

[0150] See Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a sealing sleeve 71 may be provided at the front end of the exhaust connector 7. The sealing sleeve 71 may be detachably mounted on the front end of the exhaust connector 7. The sealing sleeve 71 may have an annular structure. The sealing sleeve 71 may be arranged around the circumferential edge of the front end of the exhaust connector 7. A sealing hole 710 may be provided at the center of the sealing sleeve 71. The sealing hole 710 may be arranged at the axis of the exhaust connector 7.

[0151] When the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the steam output pipe 313 can be inserted into the sealing hole 710. The steam output pipe 313 can pass through the sealing hole 710 and be inserted into the front end of the exhaust connector 7, so that the gas outlet 3131 is connected to the exhaust connector 7. When the steam output pipe 313 is inserted into the sealing hole 710, the sealing sleeve 71 can be installed around the outer periphery of the steam output pipe 313, thereby sealing the gap between the outer wall of the steam output pipe 313 and the inner wall of the exhaust connector 7. The sealing sleeve 71 seals the gap between the outer wall of the steam output pipe 313 and the inner wall of the exhaust connector 7, ensuring that steam is completely discharged to the outside of the inner pot 2 and does not overflow into the cooking cavity 20.

[0152] In some embodiments, the air guide 21 may have a through-hole (not shown). The through-hole may be positioned directly opposite the front end of the exhaust connector 7. The front end of the exhaust connector 7 may abut against the rear wall of the air guide 21, allowing the through-hole to communicate directly with the front end of the exhaust connector 7. When the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the steam output pipe 313 can pass through the through-hole and be inserted into the front end of the exhaust connector 7.

[0153] See Figure 18 and Figure 22As shown, in some embodiments, the front end surface of the sealing sleeve 71 can be against the rear wall of the air guide cover 21. The sealing sleeve 71 can be arranged opposite the through hole. The through hole can be directly connected to the sealing hole 710. The sealing sleeve 71 can seal the gap between the through hole and the front end surface of the exhaust connector 7.

[0154] In some embodiments, a positioning rib 711 may be protruding from the front surface of the sealing sleeve 71. The positioning rib 711 may be annular. The positioning rib 711 may be arranged along the circumferential edge of the through hole. The positioning rib 711 may be inserted into the through hole. Because the contour of the positioning rib 711 matches the through hole, the positioning rib 711 can position the sealing sleeve 71 at the through hole, ensuring that the through hole and the sealing hole 710 are in direct contact and connected. When the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the steam output pipe 313 can be inserted into the positioning rib 711, then pass through the through hole and be inserted into the sealing hole 710.

[0155] See Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing rib 72 is protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the exhaust connector 7. The fixing rib 72 can be disposed within the fan compartment 210. The fixing rib 72 can abut against the rear wall of the inner container 2. By abutting the fixing rib 72 against the rear wall of the inner container 2, the rear end of the exhaust connector 7 can be axially limited when the exhaust connector 7 is connected to the steam output pipe 313, preventing the exhaust connector 7 from moving backward and ensuring stable connection between the exhaust connector 7 and the steam outlet 3131 of the steam box 3.

[0156] In some embodiments, a second fixing sleeve 73 may be sleeved on the outer periphery of the rear end of the exhaust connector 7. The second fixing sleeve 73 may be provided on the outside of the inner liner 2. The second fixing sleeve 73 may abut against the rear wall of the inner liner 2. The fixing ribs 72 and the second fixing sleeve 73 may be clamped on the front and rear sides of the rear wall of the inner liner 2, thereby fixing the exhaust connector 7 along its axial direction on the rear wall of the inner liner 2, thereby achieving axial fixation of the exhaust connector 7. When the front end of the exhaust connector 7 is separated from the air outlet 3131 of the steam box 3, the second fixing sleeve 73 may abut against the rear wall of the inner liner 2 to prevent the exhaust connector 7 from moving forward, thereby ensuring that the exhaust connector 7 and the steam box 3 can be smoothly separated from each other.

[0157] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the exhaust connector 7 is provided with an external thread (not shown in the figure). The interior of the second fixing sleeve 73 may be provided with a corresponding internal thread (not shown in the figure). The second fixing sleeve 73 may be threadedly mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the exhaust connector 7.

[0158] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second fixing sleeve 73 may also be fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the exhaust connector 7 by means of snap connection or interference fit.

[0160] See Figure 18 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may include a cooking position reminder assembly 17. The cooking position reminder assembly 17 may include a micro switch 171 and a push rod 172. The micro switch 171 may be located outside the inner pot 2. The push rod 172 may be movably disposed on the rear side wall of the inner pot 2. The micro switch 171 may be axially opposed to the push rod 172. When the steam box 3 is pushed into the cooking cavity 20, the steam box 3 may abut against the push rod 172, causing the push rod 172 to move backward and toward the micro switch 171.

[0161] When the steam box 3 is pushed into the cooking cavity 20 to a preset position, the steam connector 5 is connected to the air inlet 3111, and the exhaust connector 7 is connected to the air outlet 3131. At this time, the push rod 172 can abut against the micro switch 171, causing the micro switch 171 to trigger a position reminder signal. Based on this position reminder signal, a sound, light, or other reminder can be used to remind the user that the steam box 3 has been pushed into place.

[0162] In some embodiments, the in-place reminder assembly 17 may include a reset member 173. The reset member 173 may abut against the push rod 172. The reset member 173 may be used to drive the push rod 172 to move toward the interior of the cooking cavity 20. When the steam box 3 is not placed in the cooking cavity 20 or the steam box 3 is not in contact with the push rod 172, the push rod 172 may be separated from the micro switch 171. Figure 22 shown.

[0163] See Figure 18 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, in some embodiments, the reset member 173 can be a reset spring. The reset spring can be telescopically mounted on the push rod 172. When the steam box 3 pushes the push rod 172 toward the direction of the micro switch 171, the reset spring is compressed and deformed, as shown in FIG. Figure 18 When the steam box 3 is separated from the push rod 172, the return spring is deformed and restored, and the elastic force of the return spring can drive the push rod 172 to move toward the inside of the cooking cavity 20. The return spring stretches, so that the push rod 172 can be separated from the micro switch 171, as shown. Figure 22 shown.

[0164] In some embodiments, an abutment rib 1721 may be protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the push rod 172. A return spring may be disposed between the abutment rib 1721 and the inner wall of the inner container 2. One end of the return spring may abut against the abutment rib 1721. The other end of the return spring may abut against the inner wall of the inner container 2. When the steaming box 3 pushes the push rod 172 toward the microswitch 171, the distance between the abutment rib 1721 and the inner wall of the inner container 2 gradually decreases, compressing the return spring.

[0165] In some embodiments, a push rod 172 is movably disposed sequentially through the rear wall of the inner container 2 and the air guide hood 21. When the steam box 3 is not in contact with the push rod 172, the reset member 173 can drive the front end of the push rod 172 to protrude beyond the front wall of the air guide hood 21 and into the cooking cavity 20. Therefore, when the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the steam box 3 can abut against the front end of the push rod 172, forcing the push rod 172 to move backward and abut against the micro switch 171.

[0166] See Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear wall of the inner container 2 may be provided with a perforation (not shown), and a seal 26 may be provided at the perforation. The seal 26 may be annular. The push rod 172 may be slidably inserted into the seal 26, so that the seal 26 can seal the sleeve 71 disposed around the outer periphery of the push rod 172. The seal 26 can seal the gap between the outer periphery of the push rod 172 and the peripheral edge of the perforation.

[0167] See Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, in some embodiments, the micro switch 171 can be spaced apart on the back side of the rear wall of the inner pot 2, maintaining a certain distance between the micro switch 171 and the rear wall of the inner pot 2. When the steam box 3 is not in contact with the push rod 172, the rear end of the push rod 172 can protrude from the rear wall of the inner pot 2. When the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the steam box 3 can push the push rod 172 backward, causing the rear end of the push rod 172 to move backward and abut against the micro switch 171.

[0168] In some embodiments, the micro switch 171 may be provided on the back side of the support back plate 14. A fixing bracket 174 may be provided on the back side of the support back plate 14. The micro switch 171 may be detachably fixed to the fixing bracket 174.

[0169] See Figures 20 to 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a push plate 3141 may be protruded from the outer peripheral wall of the rear end of the push tube 314. The rear end of the steam output pipe 313 may protrude from the push plate 3141 and extend rearward. The push plate 3141 may be annular and circumferentially arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the push tube 314.

[0170] When the steam box 3 is placed in the cooking cavity 20, the push plate 3141 can abut against the push rod 172, which can drive the push rod 172 to move backward, thereby causing the push rod 172 to abut against the micro switch 171. When the push rod 172 abuts against the micro switch 171, the steam output pipe 313 can be inserted into the exhaust connector 7, and the air outlet 3131 can be connected to the exhaust connector 7.

[0171] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the arrival reminder component 17 may also be provided on other side walls of the inner container 2 .

[0172] See Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may include a temperature sensor 74. The temperature sensor 74 may be located at the rear end of the exhaust connector 7. The temperature sensor 74 may be located outside the inner pot 2. When the steam generator 4 introduces steam into the steam box 3, excess steam inside the steam box 3 can be discharged through the air outlet 3131 and the exhaust connector 7. At this time, the temperature sensor 74 can detect the gas temperature inside the exhaust connector 7 and thereby obtain the steam temperature inside the steam box 3, thereby facilitating detection of the cooking temperature inside the steam box 3. This solution eliminates the need for the temperature sensor 74 to be placed inside the steam box 3 or to be in direct contact with the steam box 3. Instead, the temperature sensor 74 can be directly mounted outside the inner pot 2, facilitating installation and detection of the temperature sensor 74.

[0173] See Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may include an exhaust pipe (not shown). The exhaust pipe may be disposed outside the inner pot 2. The lower end of the exhaust pipe may be connected to the outer end of the exhaust connector 7. The gas or steam in the steam box 3 may be discharged from the inner pot 2 through the gas outlet 3131, the exhaust connector 7, and the exhaust pipe in sequence.

[0174] See Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear end of the exhaust connector 7 may be provided with a transfer tube 75. The transfer tube 75 may be provided outside the inner liner 2. One end of the transfer tube 75 may be connected to the rear end of the exhaust connector 7. The other end of the transfer tube 75 may be used to connect to the exhaust pipe, so that the gas inside the steam box 3 can be discharged in sequence through the air outlet 3131, the exhaust connector 7, the transfer tube 75 and the exhaust pipe. The temperature sensor 74 may be provided on the transfer tube 75. The temperature sensor 74 may be arranged opposite to the rear port of the exhaust connector 7. Therefore, the temperature sensor 74 may be arranged outside the inner liner 2 along with the transfer tube 75. After the exhaust connector 7 is passed through the rear wall of the inner liner 2, the exhaust connector 7 is connected to the transfer tube 75 to facilitate the installation and removal of the temperature sensor 74.

[0175] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the lower end of the exhaust pipe may also be directly connected to the outer end of the exhaust joint 7 .

[0176] See Figure 18 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a detection tube 751 may be protruding from the outer wall of the transfer tube 75. The interior of the detection tube 751 may be connected to the interior of the transfer tube 75. The detection tube 751 may be arranged directly opposite the rear port of the exhaust joint 7. The temperature sensor 74 may be arranged inside the detection tube 751. The detection tube 751 can be used for the temperature sensor 74 to be installed in alignment, so as to ensure that the temperature sensor 74 can be directly opposite the rear end of the exhaust joint 7, which is convenient for installing and removing the temperature sensor 74. Therefore, when the excess steam inside the steam box 3 can be discharged through the air outlet 3131 and the exhaust joint 7, it can enter the interior of the detection tube 751 from the rear port of the exhaust joint 7, so that the temperature sensor 74 can perform temperature detection.

[0177] In some embodiments, the length of the temperature sensor 74 may also be greater than the detection tube 751. One end of the temperature sensor 74 may extend from the detection tube 751 and into the interior of the transfer tube 75 and the exhaust connector 7, thereby more accurately detecting the steam temperature inside the exhaust connector 7 and more accurately obtaining the steam temperature and cooking temperature inside the steam box 3.

[0178] In some embodiments, the outer end of the detection tube 751 can be covered with an end cap 752. The end cap 752 can be placed on the outer port of the detection tube 751. The end cap 752 can encapsulate the temperature sensor 74 inside the detection tube 751. The end cap 752 can be provided with a wire hole (not shown in the figure). The connecting wire of the temperature sensor 74 can be passed through the wire hole. The end cap 752 can seal the outer port of the detection tube 751, fix the temperature sensor 74 in the detection tube 751, and prevent steam from overflowing from the detection tube 751.

[0179] See Figure 4 、 Figure 9 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the transfer tube 75 away from the exhaust connector 7 can be bent upward and extended. The detection tube 751 can be protrudingly mounted on the outer wall of the bend of the transfer tube 75. The upward bend of the transfer tube 75 facilitates the placement of the exhaust pipe above the transfer tube 75, facilitating the upward discharge of steam into the exhaust pipe.

[0180] In some embodiments, the interior of the detection tube 751 can be axially aligned with the rear port of the exhaust connector 7. When the exhaust connector 7 is axially aligned with the air outlet 3131 in the steam output pipe 313, the detection tube 751 can be positioned directly opposite the rear side of the steam output pipe 313, allowing the detection tube 751 to be axially aligned with the air outlet 3131 of the steam box 3. Therefore, when steam in the steam box 3 is discharged from the exhaust port, it can flow directly backward into the interior of the detection tube 751, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature detection by the temperature sensor 74.

[0181] See Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may include a condenser 8. The condenser 8 may be provided on the exhaust pipe. The condenser 8 may be located above the exhaust connector 7. The condenser 8 may be located above the transfer tube 75. The condenser 8 can condense the gas flowing through the exhaust pipe, thereby improving the condensation performance of the exhaust gas. The condensed water after condensation can flow downward along the exhaust pipe, and flow back into the steaming box 3 through the transfer tube 75, the exhaust connector 7, and the air outlet 3131. The water that flows back into the steaming box 3 can be stored in the bottom area of the steaming box 3, and can be converted into steam again under the action of the high temperature inside the steaming box 3, thereby improving the utilization rate of the condensed water.

[0182] In some embodiments, a condensation chamber (not shown) may be formed in the condenser 8. The steam flowing through the condenser 8 may be condensed in the condensation chamber, and the condensed water may flow back along the wall of the condensation chamber into the exhaust pipe, and may flow downward along the exhaust pipe and finally flow back into the steam box 3.

[0183] In some embodiments, the outside of the condenser 8 may have a first interface 81 and a second interface 82 connected to the condensation chamber. The first interface 81 may be provided at the bottom of the condensation chamber. The first interface 81 may serve as the entrance to the condensation chamber. The second interface 82 may be provided at the top of the condensation chamber. The second interface 82 may serve as the outlet of the condensation chamber. The gas or steam flowing through the exhaust pipe may enter the condensation chamber through the first interface 81 and condense, and the condensed gas may be discharged through the second interface 82. The condensed water may flow back into the exhaust pipe through the first interface 81.

[0184] In some embodiments, the exhaust pipe may include a first exhaust section (not shown in the figure) and a second exhaust section (not shown in the figure). The bottom end of the first exhaust section may be connected to the exhaust connector 7 through the adapter tube 75. The top end of the first exhaust section may be connected to the first interface 81. One end of the second exhaust section may be connected to the second interface 82. Therefore, the gas in the steam box 3 can enter the condensation chamber through the air outlet 3131, the exhaust connector 7, the first exhaust section and the first interface 81 to condense, and the condensed gas can be discharged through the second interface 82 and the second exhaust section. The condensed water formed in the condensation chamber can flow downward along the first exhaust section and flow back into the steam box 3 through the exhaust connector 7 and the air outlet 3131.

[0185] In some embodiments, the end of the exhaust pipe away from the exhaust connector 7 can be extended into the heat dissipation duct. The end of the second exhaust section away from the second port 82 can also be extended into the heat dissipation duct. Therefore, the gas condensed in the condensation chamber of the condenser 8 can be discharged into the heat dissipation duct through the second exhaust section, improving the condensation performance of the steam or gas discharged from the steam box 3.

[0186] See Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the condenser 8 may have a water inlet connector 83 and a water outlet connector 84. The water inlet connector 83 is connected to the water storage box 15 via a pipe, and the water outlet connector 84 is connected to the water storage box 15 via another pipe, thereby forming a water circuit between the condenser 8 and the water storage box 15. Water in the water storage box 15 can enter the condenser 8 through the water inlet connector 83, condense the air flowing through the condenser 8, and then return to the water storage box 15 through the water outlet connector 84, thereby cooling the condensation chamber in the condenser 8 and improving the condensation performance of the condenser 8.

[0187] In some embodiments, a condenser tube (not shown) may be provided within the condensation chamber. The condenser tube may be a spiral tubular structure. One end of the condenser tube may be connected to the water inlet connector 83. The other end of the condenser tube may be connected to the water outlet connector 84. Water within the water storage box 15 can enter the condenser tube through the water inlet connector 83 and then return to the water storage box 15 through the water outlet connector 84. The condenser tube can condense the air flowing through the condensation chamber, thereby improving the condensation performance of the condenser 8.

[0188] Figure 24 yes Figure 12 A decomposition diagram of . Figure 25 yes Figure 13 A decomposition diagram of .

[0189] See Figure 24 and Figure 25As shown, in some embodiments, the steaming box 3 may include a steaming net 33. The steaming net 33 may be installed inside the steaming box 3. The steaming net 33 may have a plate-like structure. The steaming net 33 may have a mesh structure. The top surface of the steaming net 33 may be used to place food to be steamed. The steaming net 33 may separate the interior space of the steaming box 3 into an upper steaming chamber 30a and a lower steaming chamber 30b. The upper steaming chamber 30a may be formed above the steaming net 33. The lower steaming chamber 30b may be formed below the steaming net 33.

[0190] When steam enters the steam box 3 through the air inlet 3111, it can enter the upper steaming chamber 30a and the lower steaming chamber 30b. The steam in the upper steaming chamber 30a and the lower steaming chamber 30b can flow through the mesh of the steaming net 33, thereby increasing the contact area between the steam and the food on the steaming net 33, thereby improving the steam cooking efficiency in the steam box 3.

[0191] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the food can also be placed inside the lower steaming chamber 30b for steaming.

[0192] In some embodiments, the air inlet 3111 can be located below the steaming net 33. The air inlet 3111 can communicate with the lower steaming chamber 30b. When the steam box 3 is pushed into the cooking chamber 20, the air inlet 3111 can connect to the steam connector 5. The steam generator 4 can guide steam through the steam connector 5 and the air inlet 3111 into the lower steaming chamber 30b, and then flow through the mesh of the steaming net 33 into the upper steaming chamber 30a, thereby steaming and cooking the food on the steaming net 33.

[0193] In some embodiments, the air outlet 3131 can be located above the steaming net 33. The air outlet 3131 can communicate with the upper steaming chamber 30a. When the steam box 3 is inserted into the cooking chamber 20, the air outlet 3131 can connect to the exhaust connector 7, allowing air and steam in the upper steaming chamber 30a to exit the steam box 3 and inner pot 2 through the air outlet 3131 and exhaust connector 7. By allowing steam to enter the lower steaming chamber 30b and exit the upper steaming chamber 30a, the steam can pass through the steaming net 33, thereby ensuring that the steam can steam and cook the ingredients on the steaming net 33, thereby improving the steam cooking efficiency within the steam box 3.

[0194] In some embodiments, the steaming net 33 can be detachably mounted inside the steaming box 3. In other embodiments, the steaming net 33 can also be integrally mounted inside the steaming box 3.

[0195] See Figure 24 and Figure 25As shown, in some embodiments, support ribs 315 may be protruding from the inner sidewall of the steam box 3. The peripheral edges of the steam net 33 may be detachably supported on the support ribs 315. The support ribs 315 may extend in the vertical direction. The support ribs 315 may extend upward from the inner bottom surface of the steam box 3. The support ribs 315 can support the peripheral edges of the steam net 33, allowing the steam net 33 to be installed inside the steam box 3, maintaining a predetermined distance between the steam net 33 and the inner bottom surface of the steam box 3.

[0196] In some embodiments, multiple support ribs 315 may be provided on the inner sidewall of the steam box 3. The multiple support ribs 315 are circumferentially spaced apart on the inner circumferential wall of the steam box 3. The lateral edges of the steam net 33 may be detachably supported on the multiple support ribs 315. The multiple support ribs 315 support the lateral edges of the steam net 33 at different locations, thereby improving the stability of the steam net 33 and preventing it from tipping over inside the steam box 3.

[0197] It should be noted that the number of the support ribs 315 and the spacing width between the support ribs 315 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited here.

[0198] In some embodiments, the plurality of support ribs 315 on the inner wall of the steam box 3 can be divided into two groups. One group of support ribs 315 can be provided on the front side wall of the steam box 3. The other group of support ribs 315 can be provided on the rear side wall of the steam box 3. Both groups of support ribs 315 can support the front and rear edges of the steaming net 33.

[0199] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, one set of the two sets of support ribs 315 can be provided on the left wall of the steam box 3, and the other set of support ribs 315 can be provided on the right wall of the steam box 3. The two sets of support ribs 315 can support the left and right edges of the steaming net 33.

[0200] See Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, in some embodiments, the support ribs 315 may include support portions 3151. The support portions 3151 may be protruding from the inner sidewall of the steam box 3. The top of the support portions 3151 may be used to support the peripheral edges of the steaming net 33. When the steaming net 33 is placed in the steaming box 3, the peripheral edges of the steaming net 33 may be supported by the top of the support portions 3151, thereby ensuring that the steaming net 33 can be stably installed in the steaming box 3.

[0201] In some embodiments, the support ribs 315 may include a spacer 3152. The spacer 3152 may be protruding from the inner wall of the steam box 3. The spacer 3152 may be protruding above the top of the support portion 3151. The thickness of the spacer 3152 protruding from the inner wall of the steam box 3 may be less than the thickness of the support portion 3151 protruding from the inner wall of the steam box 3. When the peripheral edge of the steam net 33 is supported on the top of the support ribs 315, the peripheral side wall of the steam net 33 can be abutted against the spacer 3152, so that a gap is formed between the peripheral side wall of the steam net 33 and the inner wall of the steam box 3. When steam enters the interior of the steam box 3, the steam in the upper steaming chamber 30a and the lower steaming chamber 30b can flow to each other through the gap between the peripheral edge of the steam net 33 and the inner wall of the steam box 3.

[0202] See Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, in some embodiments, the steaming net 33 may be provided with a handle hole 331. The handle hole 331 may connect the upper and lower sides of the steaming net 33. When the steaming net 33 needs to be removed from the steaming box 3, the user can insert a finger or chopsticks into the handle hole 331 to conveniently remove the steaming net 33 from the steaming box 3.

[0203] In some embodiments, there may be two handle holes 331. The two handle holes 331 may be spaced apart and disposed on opposite sides of the steaming net 33. It should be noted that the number, position, and aperture of the handle holes 331 may be adjusted as needed and are not limited here.

[0204] See Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, in some embodiments, the steaming box 3 may include a box body 31 and a box lid 32. The top of the box body 31 may be provided with an opening. The box lid 32 may be removably mounted on the top opening of the box body 31. When the box lid 32 is mounted on the top of the box body 31, a sealed cavity may be formed inside the steaming box 3. The steaming net 33 may be mounted inside the box body 31. The air inlet 3111 and the air outlet 3131 may be respectively disposed on the rear side wall of the box body 31.

[0205] When the steam box 3 is pushed backward into the cooking cavity 20 , the air inlet 3111 can be connected to the steam connector 5 , and the air outlet 3131 can be connected to the exhaust connector 7 .

[0206] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the air inlet 3111 and the air outlet 3131 may also be provided on other side walls of the box body 31 .

[0207] See Figure 10 and Figure 24As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the box body 31 may be recessed to form an expansion groove 3160. The expansion groove 3160 can expand the internal space of the steam box 3. The expansion groove 3160 can expand the internal space of the lower steaming cavity 30b.

[0208] See Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, in some embodiments, a sealing ring 35 may be provided on the peripheral edge of the bottom end of the box cover 32. When the box cover 32 is placed on the top opening of the box body 31, the sealing ring 35 can be tightly clamped between the peripheral edge of the box cover 32 and the peripheral side wall of the top opening of the box body 31. The sealing ring 35 can seal the gap between the peripheral edge of the box cover 32 and the top opening of the box body 31, thereby hermetically isolating the interior of the steam box 3 from the outside.

[0209] In some embodiments, a supporting ring groove 317 may be provided at the peripheral edge of the top opening of the box body 31. When the box cover 32 is placed on the box body 31, the peripheral side wall of the bottom end of the box cover 32 can be supported on the supporting ring groove 317, and the sealing ring 35 can seal the gap between the groove wall of the supporting ring groove 317 and the peripheral edge of the box cover 32.
