[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a steam separation structure for a steam cabinet, comprising a steam cabinet body 1, a steam cabinet inner tank 2, a steam generating device 3, a steam delivery pipe 4 and a steam separation cover 5;

[0027] The steamer inner tank 2 is arranged inside the steamer body 1, and the steam generating device 3 is arranged on the side of the steamer body 1. The steam generating device 3 is connected to the steamer inner tank 2 through the steam conveying pipe 4. The steam generating device 3 is used to generate steam, and the steam conveying pipe 4 is used to discharge the steam to the steamer inner tank 2; food to be heated can be placed in the steamer inner tank 2. When the steam contacts the food in the steamer inner tank 2, it can transfer heat to the food to achieve the purpose of steaming or heating.

[0028] The steam generating device 3 includes a water tank 31 and a heating pipe 32. The heating pipe 32 is arranged in the water tank 31 and is used to heat the water in the water tank 31 to generate steam therein. A steam outlet is provided at the top of the water tank 31, and the steam outlet is connected to the steam delivery pipe 4. The water tank 31 serves as a container to store the water required for the heating process, so that the steam cabinet can continuously generate sufficient steam, avoid interruption of the steam supply, and maintain uniform heating of food or items.

[0029] The water vapor separation cover 5 is disposed at the bottom of the steam outlet. A water baffle 51 is provided at the bottom of the water vapor separation cover 5. A plurality of steam filter holes 52 are provided along the peripheral wall of the water vapor separation cover 5. The water baffle 51 is provided at the bottom of the water vapor separation cover 5. When steam passes through the water baffle 51, water droplets are blocked by gravity, thereby reducing the amount of liquid water entering the steam delivery pipe 4 along with the steam. The provision of the steam filter holes 52 allows steam to pass smoothly while minimizing the permeability of water droplets, thereby enhancing the water vapor separation effect.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a steam baffle 6 is further included. A sidewall of the steamer inner container 2 is provided with an escape hole for the steam delivery pipe 4 to pass through. The steam baffle 6 is provided at the outlet of the steam delivery pipe 4. The steam baffle 6 can guide the flow direction of steam, making the steam more evenly distributed in the steamer inner container 2, improving the steaming effect; and preventing steam from directly impacting the food from the outlet, resulting in uneven steaming.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the steam generating device 3 further includes a temperature sensor 33. The probe portion of the temperature sensor 33 extends into the water tank 31 to detect the heating temperature of the water in the water tank 31. The temperature sensor 33 can monitor the temperature of the water in the water tank 31 in real time, ensuring that the water temperature during the heating process is always within a set range, avoiding prolonged operation of the heating tube 32 and reducing energy waste.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, further, the steam generating device 3 also includes a float valve 34 and a water inlet pump 35. The float valve 34 is provided in the water tank 31, and the water inlet pump 35 is provided at the side end of the water tank 31. The water inlet pump 35 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank 31 through a water pipe. The float valve 34 is used to control the opening or closing of the water inlet pump 35. The float valve 34 can detect the water level in the water tank 31. When the water level drops, the float valve 34 sinks accordingly and controls the water inlet pump 35 to start and replenish water; when the water level rises to the set value, the float valve 34 also rises and controls the water inlet pump 35 to stop running, so that the water level in the water tank 31 is always maintained within an appropriate range, eliminating the need for frequent manual water addition operations, which is practical and convenient.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a drain pipe 36 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 31, and a solenoid valve 37 is provided on the drain pipe 36 to control the on / off state of the drain pipe 36. During operation of the steam generating device 3, some sediment or scale will form in the water tank 31. Long-term accumulation of sediment or scale can affect the efficiency and water quality of the steam cabinet. By providing the drain pipe 36 and solenoid valve 37, wastewater, sediment, or scale in the water tank 31 can be automatically and regularly drained, keeping the water tank 31 clean and preventing bacteria and harmful substances in the water from being transferred to the food surface through steam.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a heat dissipation fan 38 is further included. The heat dissipation fan 38 is disposed within the steam cabinet body 1, with the air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 38 facing the steam generating device 3. Since the steam generating device 3 is disposed within the enclosed space of the steam cabinet body 1 and has limited heat dissipation performance, the heat dissipation fan 38 can blow air directly toward the steam generating device 3 to quickly remove heat, thereby improving the thermal circulation within the steam cabinet and enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the steam cabinet.

[0035] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
