[0035] See Figure 1 , shows a base of an electric steamer with drying function. Figure 2, shows an electric steamer with a steamer assembly mounted on a base. The drying assembly 3 is mounted in the base 1, and an air supply port 101 is provided on the base 1. The drying assembly 3 generates air. The generated air can be heated by the heating assembly according to the drying needs, thereby obtaining hot air for drying, or it can be blown directly without heating. The specific setting can be made as needed. The temperature of the heated air is preferably 50-70°C, which can adapt to the drying temperature required for most drying scenarios. In addition, the drying function can be used to realize different application scenarios as needed, such as drying the moisture of fruits and nuts, thereby obtaining foods such as dried fruits and dried nuts, and realizing the drying function. The electric steamer with a drying function provided by this application has a variety of functions and a good user experience. The generated air is passed through the air supply port 101 to the top of the base 1, thereby drying the steamer assembly 2, the water chamber 106, and the steamer assembly 2 located above the base 1, so as to remove the residual moisture at each location and ensure the dryness and hygiene of each location. However, there are some situations where, for example, the program or the user fails to start the drying component 3 in a timely manner, or the water in the water chamber 106 may enter the drying component 3 through the air supply port 101, thereby damaging the drying component 3 and causing the drying function to not function properly, thus affecting the performance and safety of the electric steamer. Therefore, the present application proposes a solution in which a water chamber 106 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1. The water in the water chamber 106 is heated and evaporated by a heating device to generate steam to enable the electric steamer to operate. The air supply port 101 is provided on the side wall of the water chamber 106. The provision of the air supply port 101 on the side wall will prevent moisture from entering from various locations above the base 1 through the air supply port 101, thereby reducing the possibility of moisture falling into the air supply port 101. In addition, the highest water level of the water chamber 106 can be set at the lowest horizontal level where the air supply port 101 is located. The air flowing out of the air supply port 101 flows from top to bottom, which is more likely to dry the areas where water droplets remain in the water chamber 106, thereby improving the drying effect. By connecting a water drop channel 102 to the inner side of the air supply port 101, the water drop channel 102 is used to allow water entering the base 1 from the air supply port 101 to fall into, so that the water flowing into the air supply port 101 will not or is insufficient to damage the drying component 3, greatly ensuring the normal use of the drying component 3.
[0036] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2Base 1 is provided with a drain port 1051, which communicates with the distal end of water channel 102. The initial end of water channel 102 is obviously connected to air inlet 101, thereby draining water that enters water channel 102 out of base 1 through drain port 1051. Drain port 1051 promptly drains water from base 1, preventing water that enters base 1 through air inlet 101 from accumulating. This prevents the collected water from subsequently affecting the various components of base 1, thereby further ensuring the proper functioning of drying assembly 3. In summary, this solution overcomes the problem in existing electric steamers with a drying function where water ingress into air inlet 101 can damage drying assembly 3. In another embodiment, a water collection trough (not shown) is provided at the end of the drain channel 102. The water collection trough is used to store water that falls into the drain channel 102. Therefore, during or after use of the electric steamer, the user can pour out the water in the water collection trough. The water collected in the drain channel 102 can be cleared as needed by the user without unexpectedly flowing out of the base 1 and causing pollution to the environment surrounding the electric steamer. The water collection trough can be made into a retractable water collection structure to facilitate the user to remove the water collection trough for pouring water. This structure is conventional in the art and is not further described or limited herein.
[0037] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 1 is provided with an air supply channel 103 whose end is connected to the air supply port 101. The initial end of the air supply channel 103 has an air inlet 1031, and the air inlet 1031 is connected to the air outlet 301 of the drying component 3. The air supply channel 103 is used to direct the wind generated by the drying component 3 to the air supply port 101. The air supply channel 103 can be set to guide the wind according to design requirements, so that the wind can be more concentrated and flow quickly to the parts that need to be dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency. Alternatively, the air supply channel 103 can be set on the inner wall of the base 1 as needed to ensure that the position of the middle part of the base 1 is not occupied too much, saving space. The setting of the air supply channel 103 can reduce the adverse effects of wind on other components of the base 1, thereby extending the service life of other components and reducing maintenance costs. Figure 3In the vertical direction, the projected area 1011 of the air supply port is located within the projected area 1021 of the water channel. It is understood that this solution ensures that the coverage area of the water channel 102 completely encompasses the water inlet range of the air supply port 101. This allows water flowing vertically or slowly along the direction of the air supply port 101 to enter the water channel 102, ensuring smooth water flow. This allows all or most of the water entering the air supply port 101 to fall into the water channel 102, significantly reducing the risk of water not entering the water channel 102. This ensures the water channel 102's water diversion effect, essentially resolving the issue of water entering the base 1 and damaging the drying assembly 3, providing a better effect and improving the reliability of the water channel 102. Furthermore, the structure of the water channel 102 does not require additional complex sealing structures or guiding devices to ensure the correct entry of water. This simplifies the structure, reduces costs, and is easy to install and maintain, thereby extending the lifespan and safety of the electric steamer. In addition, it can be known that since the air supply channel 103 and the water drop channel 102 are both connected to the air supply port 101, the two have a connection point. Since the flow rate and flow rate of water entering the base 1 from the air supply port 101 are usually not very large, the connection point will not affect the water falling into the water drop channel 102. Moreover, when the air supply channel 103 does not extend into the interior of the water drop channel 102, the water will not directly enter the air supply channel 103, but will directly fall into the water drop channel 102. In the embodiment of discharging the water falling into the water drop channel 102 through the drain port 1051, in the vertical direction, the projection area 1011 of the air supply port is located within the projection area of the drain port 1051, so that its drainage volume can meet the maximum water volume entering the air supply port 101, so that the drainage effect is better, the possibility of excess water entering the air supply channel 103 is reduced, and the drying component 3 is better protected.
[0038] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The initial end of the air supply channel 102 has a mounting opening 1032, and the end of the air outlet channel 302 of the drying component 3 is installed in the mounting opening 1032, thereby connecting the air outlet 301 and the air inlet 1031. By connecting the air outlet channel 302 of the drying component 3 with the initial end of the air supply channel 102, the installation of the drying component 3 on the base 1 is made more stable, unnecessary connection structures can be reduced, and installation is simple. The connection between the two can reduce vibrations generated by wind flow, reduce noise, and reduce the space occupied by the drying component 3 in the base 1. In addition, by installing in the mounting opening 1032, the connection between the air outlet 301 and the air inlet 1031 is made tighter, the wind flow is smoother, and the wind can be reduced from overflowing from the installation gap, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the wind and the drying performance of the drying component 3.
[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3The air supply channel 103 includes a first channel 1033 and a second channel 1034. The initial end of the first channel 1033 is connected to the air outlet 301, that is, the air inlet 1031 is connected to the air outlet 301, the end of the first channel 1033 is connected to the initial end of the second channel 1034, and the end of the second channel 1034 is connected to the air supply channel 101, thereby forming a complete air supply channel 103. The advantage of the segmented arrangement of the air supply channel 103 is that the position of the air supply channel 103 in the base 1 can be flexibly controlled, and the position requirements for the drying component 3 will also be reduced. As long as the initial end of the first channel 1033 can be connected to the air outlet 301 of the drying component 3, the space utilization rate inside the base 1 will be higher. The second channel 1034 can also reduce the possibility of water entering the air supply port 101 entering the first channel 1033 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the drying component 3, further improving the protection of the drying component 3 in this application and ensuring its operation. See Figure 3 In the side cross-sectional view of the base 1, the axis of the second channel 1034 is parallel to the horizontal direction. Since the end of the second channel 1034 is connected to the air supply port 101, the horizontal arrangement of the second channel 1034 can prevent water entering the air supply port 101 from flowing into the second channel 1034, or from continuing to flow toward the first channel 1033 after entering the second channel 1034, thereby ensuring the protection function of the drying component 3. In another embodiment, the initial end of the second channel 1034 is higher than the end of the second channel 1034. This arrangement ensures that even if water entering from the air supply port 101 flows into the second channel 1034, it will be driven by gravity to flow into the water channel 102 due to the slope, thereby enhancing the water collection capacity of the water channel 102 and protecting the drying component 3. In the front-to-back direction of the base 1 (the front of the base 1 is defined as the side where the display panel is located), the second channel 1034 and the water drop channel 102 are staggered to ensure that water falling into the water drop channel 102 or water entering the air supply port 101 from the inside is completely isolated from the second channel 1034, thereby completely preventing water from entering the drying component 3 from the second channel 1034, thereby improving the effect of protecting the drying component 3.
[0040] Continue to see Figure 3Furthermore, the water drop channel 101 is vertically shaped within the base 1, so that water flowing in from the air supply port 101 can flow more smoothly into the water drop channel 101 and flow within the water drop channel 101, thereby making it easier for water to fall into the water drop channel 101. Since the projection area 1011 of the air supply port is located within the projection area 1021 of the water drop channel, the water flowing into the water drop channel 102 will not flow to other areas under the action of gravity. Combined with the vertical structure of the water drop channel 102, the water entering the air supply port 101 can mostly or completely fall into the water drop channel 102. The water that falls into the water drop channel 102 is stored in the water collection tank or discharged from the base 1 through the drain port 1051, which greatly ensures the function of the water drop channel 102, thereby protecting the drying component 3 from damage and ensuring the service life and safety performance of the electric steamer with drying function.
[0041] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 The base 1 includes an upper shell 104 and a lower shell 105 located below the upper shell 104. That is, the base 1 is composed of the upper shell 104 and the lower shell 105. The upper and lower shells make the base 1 easier to manufacture, lower the cost, and make it easier to assemble accessories in the base 1. A portion 103a of the air supply duct is located in the upper shell 104, and another portion 103b of the air supply duct is located in the lower shell 105. This makes it easier to manufacture the air supply duct 103. It can be divided into two parts, one connected to the upper shell 104 and the other connected to the lower shell 105, or one part can be integrally formed with the upper shell 104 and the other part can be integrally formed with the lower shell 105, or a combination of other connection methods can be used. This simplifies the manufacture and installation of the air supply duct 103 and makes it easier to arrange the air supply duct 103. After connection, in addition to the connection structure, gravity will also make the air supply duct 103 more tightly connected, reducing air loss and improving drying efficiency. Similarly, a portion 102a of the water channel is provided on the upper shell 104, and another portion 102b of the water channel is provided on the lower shell 105, which also simplifies the manufacture and installation of the water channel 102. It is understood that in other embodiments, the air supply channel 103 may be provided entirely on the upper shell 104 or entirely on the lower shell 105, and the water channel 102 may be provided entirely on the upper shell 104 or entirely on the lower shell 105, or any combination of the aforementioned arrangements of the air supply channel 103 and the water channel 102 may be used, as long as the requirement that water entering the base 1 through the air supply port 101 can fall into the water channel 102 is met, and no limitation is imposed herein.
[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 6The air supply port 101 is provided with a first insect-proof portion 4, and the water channel 102 is provided with a second insect-proof portion. Providing the first insect-proof portion 4 at the air supply port 101 can prevent insects from entering the water holding chamber 106 from the interior of the base 1 through the air supply port 101, and prevent insects from contaminating the water to be evaporated or the evaporated steam in the water holding chamber 106, thereby ensuring the hygienic conditions of the food cooked in the electric steamer. A second insect-proof portion 5 is provided in the water channel 102 to prevent insects from crawling along the water channel 102 to the air supply port 101. Together with the first insect-proof portion 4, this provides a dual insect-proof effect, resulting in a better insect-proof effect. In a preferred embodiment, the second insect-proof portion is provided on the side of the connection between the water channel 102 and the air supply channel 103, away from the air supply port 101, thereby preventing insects from crawling into the air supply channel 103, thereby preventing insects from crawling into the drying component 3 and causing damage, or preventing insects from contaminating the air and causing contamination of the components above the base 1. In the embodiment in which water falling into the drain channel 102 is discharged from the base 1 through the drain outlet 1051, the second insect-proof part 5 has a more obvious insect-proof effect, which directly reduces the possibility of external insects crawling into the drain channel 102. The effect is best when the second insect-proof part 5 is arranged at the drain outlet 1051.
[0043] See Figure 2 and Figure 7The electric steamer also includes a juice collecting pan 6, which is detachably connected to the base 1 and is used to collect juice and condensed water from the food in the steamer basket assembly 2 during use. A vent 601 is formed in the juice collecting pan 6 at a position corresponding to the air supply port 101. The vent 601 is used to guide at least a portion of the air flowing out of the air supply port 101 to the upper surface of the juice collecting pan 6, thereby directing at least a portion of the air directly from the air supply port 101 toward the upper surface of the juice collecting pan 6 and the steamer basket assembly 2, thereby accelerating the drying of the juice collecting pan 6 and the steamer basket assembly. This allows the frequently cleaned steamer basket assembly 2 and the juice collecting pan 6 to be dried more quickly, removing the majority of the moisture. Furthermore, the juice receiving tray 6 has a guide rib 602 extending upward from the vent 601. The guide rib 602 can function as a "tapered tube," accelerating the velocity of air flowing from the vent 601 toward the top of the base 1, thereby increasing the speed at which the hot air diffuses into the steamer assembly 2, or allowing at least a portion of the air to reach the interior of the steamer assembly 2 more quickly, thereby rapidly drying the primary drying target, i.e., the steamer assembly 2, and improving drying efficiency. In another embodiment, a guide rib can also extend from the outside of the air supply port 101 to direct the air flowing out of the air supply port 101 primarily toward the vent 601, allowing the air to flow from above the juice receiving tray 6, drying the juice receiving tray 6 and the steamer assembly 2, before flowing through the steam outlet 603 on the juice receiving tray 6 into the water holding chamber 106 below the juice receiving tray 6 to dry the juice receiving tray 6 and the steamer assembly 2. A heating assembly is provided below the water holding chamber 106 to heat the water in the water holding chamber 106 to generate steam during use of the electric steamer. In another embodiment, the juice receiving tray 6 does not have the ventilation opening 601, and all the air flowing out of the air supply opening 101 first flows through the water holding chamber 106, and then flows from the steam outlet 603 to the upper surface of the juice receiving tray 6 and the interior of the steamer assembly 2. Under this structure, the electric steamer with a drying function can be dried from the bottom up each time the drying function is activated, so that the entire structure is dried completely, with less residual moisture and a good drying effect.
[0044] See Figure 8The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a water chamber 106. The base 1 is also provided with an external water tank 7, which is connected to the water chamber 106 via a water supply pipe 701. Therefore, water can be directly added to the water chamber 106 through the external water tank 7 without removing the steamer assembly 2 and the juice receiving tray 6, making water addition convenient and improving the user experience. The water supply pipe 701 runs through the water channel 102, which can save space in the base 1 and make the layout of the various components of the base 1 more reasonable and compact, achieving a miniaturized design. In the vertical direction, the air supply port 101 is higher than the external water tank 7. Therefore, whether the electric steamer is automatically refilled with water through the external water tank or manually refilled, the water level in the water chamber 106 generally does not exceed the air supply port 101. During use, water in the water chamber 106 will not overflow the air supply port 101 and enter the water channel 102 and air supply channel 103, reducing the water load on the water channel in this embodiment. It is understandable that the air supply port 101 can also be set on the bottom wall of the water holding chamber 106. In this case, it is only necessary to install a valve body on the outside of the air supply port 101. When the drying function is turned on, the valve body will open to let the air flow out. At this time, the water drop channel 102 can collect the water that falls into the inside of the air supply port 101 when the valve body fails or there is still a certain amount of water in the water holding chamber 106.
