The sleeve 211 is downwardly sleeved from the upper side of the drain pipe 3 onto the outer side of the drain pipe 3, and a siphon channel 4 is formed between the sleeve 211 and the drain pipe 3. The lower end of the siphon channel 4 is in communication with the water storage chamber 221, and the upper end of the siphon channel 4 is in communication with the upper end of the drain channel 311; and

[0038] A water pump is provided in the machine body 1 and is connected to the lower end of the drainage channel 311. The water pump can be connected to the drainage channel 311 through a soft water pipe, and the other end of the water pump is connected to a water supply device in the cooking cavity, such as a nozzle, a steam generator, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove, which can be specifically provided at the upper rear portion of the housing 1. The water tank 2 is fixedly or detachably provided in the mounting groove. The water tank 2 includes a housing 22 and a cover 21 provided on the housing 22. The cover 21 can be specifically provided to detachably cover the housing 22. The sleeve 211 is provided on the underside of the cover 21 and is integrally formed with the cover 21. When the cover 21 is provided on the housing 22, the sleeve 211 is sleeved onto the outside of the drain pipe 3 and forms the siphon channel 4 between the sleeve and the drain pipe 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, for ease of processing and installation, the drain pipe 3 includes an outer pipe 32, an inner pipe 31, and a base 33 located below the inner pipe 31. The inner pipe 31 and the base 33 can be fixedly connected or integrally formed. The outer pipe 32 extends upward from the bottom wall of the water tank 2 and is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the water tank 2, thereby achieving better airtightness. That is, the upper end of the outer pipe 32 is located within the water storage chamber 221, and the lower end of the outer pipe 32 is located below the bottom wall of the water tank 2. The inner pipe 31 is inserted upward from the bottom of the outer pipe 32 into the outer pipe 32. When the inner pipe 31 is inserted into the outer pipe 32, the upper ends of the two are aligned. The siphon channel 4 is located between the inner side wall of the sleeve 211 and the outer side wall of the outer pipe 32. The drain channel 311 is located within the inner pipe 31. To ensure better airtightness, the outer pipe 32 is sealed and connected to the inner pipe 31. Specifically, a first sealing ring 5 is provided between the outer pipe 32 and the inner pipe 31. Two first sealing rings 5 ​​can be provided and arranged vertically along the inner side wall of the outer pipe 32, thereby improving the sealing between the outer pipe 32 and the inner pipe 31 and facilitating continuous water supply to the siphon channel 4.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove, the water tank 2 is disposed within the mounting groove, and the base 33 is located on the lower side of the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The inner pipe 31 extends upward from the lower side of the bottom wall of the mounting groove, passes through the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and is then inserted into the outer pipe 32. Specifically, a clearance hole is provided in the bottom wall of the mounting groove for the inner pipe 31 to pass through. To further ensure airtightness, a second sealing ring 6 is provided between the upper end of the base 33 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove, thereby providing a sealed connection between the base 33 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to make the inner pipe 31 and the outer pipe 32 better match, the base 33 is set to be fixedly connected with the bottom wall of the mounting groove. A specific way is that the lower side of the bottom wall of the mounting groove is provided with a plug-in portion 11, and the base 33 is provided with a slot 331, and the plug-in portion 11 is plugged into the slot 331. Or it can also be set that the lower side of the bottom wall of the mounting groove is provided with a slot 331, and the base 33 is provided with a plug-in portion 11. For further fixation, pin holes are provided on the slot 331 and the plug-in portion 11, and the two are further fixed by pins. The plug-in portion 11 and the slot 331 are both arranged on the outside of the second sealing ring 6. Specifically, the number of the plug-in portion 11 and the slot 331 are both three, and they correspond one to one, and the three slots 331 surround the outside of the second sealing ring 6.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 33 is provided with a water outlet pipe 34 which is perpendicular to the drainage channel 311. The water outlet pipe 34 connects the lower end of the drainage channel 311 with the water pump. The water outlet pipe 34 facilitates the drainage of the drainage channel 311 outward. Specifically, the water pump can be connected to the water outlet pipe 34 through a soft water pipe.

[0044] Working principle description:

[0045] During water supply, the water pump is started, and the power of the water pump causes the siphon channel 4 to generate a siphon phenomenon. After the water pump is turned off, the water in the water storage chamber 221 continues to flow into the drainage channel 311 through the siphon channel 4, thereby continuously and stably supplying water to the water replenishment device. When the water supply speed needs to be further accelerated, the water pump can be started again, and the water supply speed can be accelerated by combining the power of the water pump and the siphon power.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above optional implementation methods. Under the premise of not conflicting with each other, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
