Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a split-type cooking device, belonging to the technical field of cooking devices. Background Art

[0002] With the development and promotion of the small household appliance industry, cooking equipment has become popular among consumers due to its advantages such as easy portability, fast heating, and diverse functions. Cooking equipment usually includes a base and a pot body assembly. A steam generator is provided in the base, and a steam inlet assembly is provided between the base and the pot body assembly. After the cooking equipment is started, the steam generator generates high-temperature steam, which enters the cooking cavity of the pot body assembly through the steam inlet assembly. The high-temperature steam heats the food in the cooking cavity to cook the food.

[0003] In order to enable the cooking equipment to cook multiple foods at the same time and to prevent steam from mixing in the steaming layer, the existing cooking equipment is designed with multiple independent steaming layers and steam inlet components. The steam generator provides steam to each steam inlet component, and each steam inlet component only delivers steam to its corresponding steaming layer, thereby ensuring that the ingredients retain their original taste.

[0004] However, in the prior art, since each steaming layer can be stacked and the steam inlet assembly is fixed on the base, the steaming layer and the steam inlet assembly are detachably connected. When the steaming layer is placed in place, the steaming layer and the steam inlet assembly are connected, so that the steam inlet assembly provides steam to the steaming layer. However, in actual use, not all steaming layers are necessarily placed in place. Therefore, when one of the steaming layers is not in use, the cooking device cannot detect or determine whether the steaming layer is placed, so the steam inlet assembly corresponding to the steaming layer cannot be turned off. After the cooking device is started, part of the steam generated by the steam generator will still enter the steam inlet assembly. Part of the steam is directly discharged into the outside air through the steam inlet assembly, which leads to a large amount of steam loss, increased energy loss, and reduced temperature rise rate in other steaming layers, which greatly reduces the heating efficiency of the cooking device for food in other steaming layers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problem that existing cooking equipment cannot detect whether the steam layer is placed and the corresponding steam inlet component cannot be closed, which may cause a large amount of steam loss. For this purpose, a split cooking device is provided, which uses a sensor and a trigger component to determine whether the steam layer is placed, and then controls the opening and closing of the steam inlet component.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A split cooking device includes a base and a pot body assembly, the pot body assembly includes a lower steaming layer and at least one upper steaming layer, a steam generator and a steam inlet assembly for conveying steam to the upper steaming layer are provided in the base, the upper steaming layer is provided with a steam inlet channel detachably connected to the steam inlet assembly, the steam inlet assembly is provided with a sensor, and the upper steaming layer is provided with a trigger member that cooperates with the sensor, when the steam inlet channel is connected to the steam inlet assembly, the trigger member triggers the sensor, so that the steam generator provides steam to the steam inlet assembly.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the utility model are:

[0009] The steam inlet assembly of the present invention is provided with a sensor, and the upper steam layer is provided with a triggering member. When the steam inlet passage is connected to the steam inlet assembly, the triggering member triggers the sensor, which then generates an electrical signal to the cooking device, allowing the cooking device to accurately determine that the upper steam layer is in place. The cooking device can then maintain communication between the steam inlet assembly and the steam generator, causing the steam generator to supply steam to the steam inlet assembly, which then enters the upper steam layer along the steam inlet assembly, thereby cooking the food. When the upper steam layer is not in place, the sensor cannot be triggered, and the cooking device can determine that the upper steam layer is not in place. The steam generator then stops supplying steam to the steam inlet assembly, effectively preventing significant steam loss and allowing the steam to be fully utilized to heat the food. This helps improve the cooking device's heat utilization and heating efficiency. Furthermore, the sensor and triggering member are respectively mounted in the steam inlet assembly and the upper steam layer, and are triggered by the connection between the steam inlet assembly and the air inlet passage. Therefore, when the sensor is triggered, the upper steam layer can be assured to be in place, thereby improving the accuracy of the sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the steam inlet assembly includes a steam inlet pipe and a fixing seat, with both ends of the steam inlet pipe passing through the fixing seat, and the sensor is fixed to the steam inlet pipe and located inside the fixing seat at one end near the steam inlet channel. By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor is inside the fixing seat, and the fixing seat can shield the sensor, preventing the sensor from being directly exposed to the outside world, reducing the possibility of sensor damage, and also improving the aesthetics of the steam inlet assembly; in addition, the sensor is located at one end of the fixing seat near the steam inlet channel. When the steam inlet channel is connected to the steam inlet assembly, the distance between the sensor and the trigger can be reduced, so that the trigger can stably trigger the sensor, reducing the possibility of the sensor and the trigger being difficult to trigger accurately due to the large distance between them, which helps to improve the sensitivity of the sensor; secondly, the sensor is fixed to the steam inlet pipe, and the sensor can be installed in the fixing seat together with the steam inlet pipe, making the installation of the sensor simpler and faster, and helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the cooking equipment.

[0011] Preferably, at least one positioning post is provided on the outer circumference of the steam inlet pipe within the fixing base, and the sensor is provided with a mounting hole that cooperates with the positioning post. The sensor is secured by the cooperation of the positioning post and the mounting hole. With this technical solution, the cooperation of the positioning post and the mounting hole can secure the sensor to the steam inlet pipe, making the connection between the sensor and the steam inlet pipe more secure and reliable.

[0012] Preferably, the steam inlet pipe is provided with at least one connecting plate, and at least one positioning post is connected to the steam inlet pipe via the connecting plate. The sensor includes a mounting plate with a mounting hole and a sensor body for sensing the trigger element. The sensor body abuts against the inner side wall of the fixing seat and is separated from the steam inlet pipe. Adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the positioning post is arranged on the connecting plate to increase the distance between the connecting plate and the steam inlet pipe. At the same time, the sensor body is connected to the positioning post via the mounting plate, which can further increase the distance between the sensor body and the steam inlet pipe, so that the sensor body can be away from the steam inlet pipe, thereby reducing the impact of high-temperature steam in the steam inlet pipe on the sensor, reducing the possibility of sensor failure due to long-term exposure to high temperature, helping to maintain the sensitivity of the sensor, and also extending the service life of the sensor. In addition, the sensor body abuts against the inner side wall of the fixing seat, and the inner side wall of the fixing seat acts on the sensor body and forms a restriction on the sensor body, reducing the shaking and floating of the sensor body, and also reducing the possibility of the sensor body being separated from the positioning post, making the connection between the sensor and the steam inlet pipe more secure and reliable.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting base for mounting a trigger is provided on the outer periphery of the upper steam layer. The mounting base is located below the steam inlet passage, and the sensor is fixed to the top of the steam inlet assembly. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the mounting base can position the trigger, reducing the possibility of the trigger detaching from the upper steam layer and ensuring that the trigger can stably trigger the sensor after the upper steam layer is in place. Furthermore, the mounting base is located below the steam inlet passage, and the sensor is located at the top of the steam inlet assembly. When the steam inlet passage and the steam inlet assembly are connected, the distance between the sensor and the trigger can be minimized, thereby effectively improving the sensor's sensitivity and making the cooking device's judgment of the upper steam layer more accurate and reliable.

[0014] Preferably, the upper steaming layer includes a steamer, a steaming rack and a steaming plate, the steaming rack is installed on the lower steaming layer or on the upper steaming layer on the lower side, the steaming rack is provided with a step surface for placing the steaming plate, the steamer cover is installed on the steaming plate to form a cooking cavity, the steam inlet channel is between the steaming rack and the steaming plate, and the side of the steaming rack is provided with a through hole for the steam inlet channel to pass through, and the mounting seat is arranged below the through hole of the steaming rack; or the upper steaming layer includes a pot cover, a steaming rack and a steaming plate, and the pot cover is installed on the steaming plate to form a cooking cavity.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the steam inlet channel is provided with an insertion hole, and a sealing member is mounted on the top of the steam inlet assembly. When the steam inlet channel and the steam inlet assembly are connected, the sealing member and the insertion hole are sealed. With the aforementioned technical solution, the sealing member can effectively improve the sealing performance of the connection between the steam inlet channel and the steam inlet assembly, reducing steam leakage from the connection between the steam inlet channel and the steam inlet assembly, thereby helping to reduce heat loss and thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food in the upper steaming layer.

[0016] Preferably, a water tank is mounted on the base, and a relief groove is provided on the surface of the water tank facing the pot assembly, with the steam inlet assembly embedded in the relief groove. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the water tank can store more water and continuously supply water to the steam generator, enabling the steam generator to generate more steam. It can also stably and continuously transport steam to the lower and upper steam layers, helping to improve the heating efficiency of food. Furthermore, embedding the steam inlet assembly in the relief groove can reduce the overall volume of the cooking device, making the cooking device more compact and improving its aesthetics. Furthermore, the water tank can also protect the steam inlet assembly, reducing the possibility of collision with the steam inlet assembly and helping to extend its service life.

[0017] Preferably, the sensor is a magnetic switch and the trigger is a magnet. With the aforementioned technical solution, the magnetic field generated by the trigger approaches the sensor to trigger the sensor, eliminating the need for direct contact between the sensor and the trigger. This simplifies the installation and coordination of the sensor and the trigger, and simplifies the overall structure of the cooking device.

[0018] Preferably, the steam generator is provided with a steam outlet connected to the steam inlet component, the steam outlet is provided with a control valve, the control valve closes the steam outlet to isolate the steam inlet component, the trigger triggers the sensor so that the sensor controls the control valve to open the steam outlet; or a main control board is provided in the base, the trigger triggers the sensor, the sensor sends an electrical signal to the main control board so that the main control board controls the control valve to open the steam outlet.

Thus, a feature identified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless expressly limited otherwise.

[0031] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment shows a split cooking device, including a base 1 and a pot body assembly, the pot body assembly includes a lower steaming layer and at least one upper steaming layer, a steam generator 11 is provided in the base 1, and the steaming layer has a cooking cavity for placing food, the base 1 is connected to a water tank 4 that provides water for the steam generator 11, and a plurality of steam inlet assemblies, the number of steam inlet assemblies is the same as the total number of the lower steaming layers and the upper steaming layers, each steam inlet assembly is only connected to one lower steaming layer or the upper steaming layer, and provides steam for the connected steaming layer, the steaming layer is provided with a steam inlet channel 25 connected to the steam inlet assembly, one end of the steam inlet assembly is connected to the steam generator 11, and the other end is sealed with the steam inlet channel 25, when the cooking device is started, the steam generator 11 generates high-temperature steam, and the high-temperature steam is transported to the cooking cavity of the steaming layer through the steam inlet assembly and the steam inlet channel 25, and the high-temperature steam heats the food in the cooking cavity to achieve a cooking effect on the food.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pot body assembly in this embodiment includes a lower steaming layer and an upper steaming layer, wherein the lower steaming layer includes a steaming rack 21, a steaming plate 22 and a steamer 23, and the upper steaming layer includes a steaming rack 21, a steaming plate 22 and a pot cover 24. The steaming rack 21 of the lower steaming layer is placed on the base 1, and the steaming rack 21 is provided with a juice receiving groove open upward, and a step portion for placing the steaming plate 22 is provided on the steaming rack 21. The steaming plate 22 cooperates with the step portion to achieve the positioning stability of the steaming plate 22, thereby reducing the shaking amplitude of the steaming plate 22, making the installation of the steaming plate 22 more stable and reliable. The steaming plate 22 of the upper steaming layer is placed on the top of the steamer 23 of the lower steaming layer, and the steaming plate 22 of the upper steaming layer is placed on the positioning part of the steaming rack 21. The pot cover 24 is installed on the steaming rack 21, and a cooking cavity is formed between the pot cover 24 and the steaming rack 21 of the upper steaming layer.

[0034] In addition, the base 1 in this embodiment is connected to a first steam inlet assembly 31 and a second steam inlet assembly 32, wherein the steam inlet end of the first steam inlet assembly 31 is connected to the steam generator 11, and the steam outlet end is connected to the steam rack 21 of the lower steaming layer. The steam outlet end of the first steam inlet assembly 31 extends from the lower side of the middle part of the steam rack 21 to the upper side of the steam rack 21. When the cooking device is started, the steam generated by the steam generator 11 enters the steam rack 21 of the lower steaming layer through the first steam inlet assembly 31, and then the steam rises through the air holes 221 of the steaming tray 22, thereby achieving the purpose of steaming the inside of the cooking cavity. Cooking of food; in addition, the steaming rack 21 of the upper steaming layer is connected to the steam inlet channel 25, the steam inlet end of the second steam inlet component 32 is connected to the steam generator 11, and the steam outlet end is connected to the steam inlet channel 25 of the upper steaming layer, and the steam outlet end of the steam inlet channel 25 extends from the side wall of the steaming rack 21 to the inner side of the steaming rack 21. When the cooking equipment is started, the steam generated by the steam generator 11 enters the steaming rack 21 of the upper steaming layer through the second steam inlet component 32 and the steam inlet channel 25, and then the steam rises and passes through the air holes 221 of the steaming tray 22, thereby realizing the cooking of the food in the cooking cavity.

[0035] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the number of upper steaming layers may be two or more than two. When the cooking device has multiple upper steaming layers, the topmost upper steaming layer includes a steaming rack 21, a steaming plate 22 and a pot cover 24, and other upper steaming layers include a steaming rack 21, a steaming plate 22 and a steamer 23. The structure of the steamer 23 is the same as that of the steamer 23 in the lower steaming layer; accordingly, the number of steam inlet components on the base 1 may also be more than two, ensuring that each upper steaming layer can be connected to an independent steam inlet component, thereby avoiding the possibility of cross-flavoring between each steaming layer, and improving the cooking effect of the cooking device on food.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a sensor 51 is provided in the second steam inlet component 32, and a triggering member 52 that cooperates with the sensor 51 is provided in the upper steam layer. When the steam inlet channel 25 is connected to the second steam inlet component 32, the triggering member 52 triggers the sensor 51, so that the steam generator 11 provides steam to the second steam inlet component 32.

[0037] In this embodiment, a sensor 51 is provided in the second steam inlet component 32, and a trigger 52 is provided in the upper steam layer. When the steam inlet channel 25 is connected to the second steam inlet component 32, the trigger 52 triggers the sensor 51. At this time, the sensor 51 can send an electrical signal to the cooking device, so that the cooking device can accurately determine that the upper steam layer has been placed in place, so that the cooking device can keep the second steam inlet component 32 connected to the steam generator 11, so that the steam generator 11 provides steam to the second steam inlet component 32, and the steam enters the upper steam layer along the second steam inlet component 32, thereby achieving cooking of food; and when the upper steam layer is not placed in place, the sensor 51 is triggered. When the sensor 51 cannot be triggered, the cooking device can determine that the upper steaming layer is not in place, and the steam generator 11 will not provide steam to the second steam inlet component 32, thereby effectively avoiding a large amount of steam loss, so that the steam is fully used to heat the food, which helps to improve the heat utilization rate of the cooking device and improve the heating efficiency of the food; in addition, the sensor 51 and the trigger 52 are respectively installed in the second steam inlet component 32 and the upper steaming layer, and the sensor 51 is triggered by the connection between the second steam inlet component 32 and the air inlet channel. Therefore, when the sensor 51 is triggered, it can ensure that the upper steaming layer is in place as much as possible, which helps to improve the accuracy of the sensor 51.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the sensor 51 is a magnetic-sensitive switch, and the trigger 52 is a magnet. The magnetic field generated by the trigger 52 is close to the sensor 51 to trigger the sensor 51, so that the sensor 51 and the trigger 52 do not need to be in direct contact, making the installation and coordination of the sensor 51 and the trigger 52 simpler and more convenient, and making the overall structure of the cooking equipment simpler.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the second steam inlet component 32 includes a steam inlet pipe 321, a fixed seat 322 and a connecting head 323, wherein one end of the steam inlet pipe 321 is connected to the steam generator 11, and the other end is connected to the connecting head 323. The steam inlet end of the second steam inlet component 32 is the end of the steam inlet pipe 321 away from the connecting head 323, and the steam outlet end is the end of the connecting head 323 away from the steam inlet pipe 321, that is, the top of the connecting head 323. The steam inlet end of the second steam inlet component 32 passes through the bottom end of the fixed seat 322, and the steam outlet end passes through the top end of the fixed seat 322. The second steam inlet component 32 is fixed to the base 1 through the fixed seat 322. In addition, the sensor 51 is fixed to the outer peripheral side of the connecting head 323, and the sensor 51 is located inside the fixed seat 322 near one end of the steam inlet channel 25, that is, the sensor 51 is at the top inside the fixed seat 322, and the sensor 51 is in the fixed seat. Inside the fixed seat 322, the fixed seat 322 can shield the sensor 51, preventing the sensor 51 from being directly exposed to the outside world, reducing the possibility of damage to the sensor 51, and also improving the aesthetics of the second steam inlet assembly 32; in addition, the sensor 51 is located at one end of the fixed seat 322 close to the steam inlet channel 25. When the steam inlet channel 25 is connected to the second steam inlet assembly 32, the distance between the sensor 51 and the trigger 52 can be reduced, so that the trigger 52 can stably trigger the sensor 51, reducing the possibility that the sensor 51 and the trigger 52 are difficult to trigger accurately due to the large distance, which helps to improve the sensitivity of the sensor 51; secondly, the sensor 51 is fixed to the steam inlet pipe 321, and the sensor 51 can be installed in the fixed seat 322 together with the steam inlet pipe 321, so that the installation of the sensor 51 is simpler and faster, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the cooking equipment.

[0040] The top of the fixing seat 322 described in this embodiment is provided with a through hole 3221 for the connecting head 323 to pass through, and the outer peripheral side of the connecting head 323 is provided with a connecting seat 3233, and the connecting seat 3233 is fastened to the top of the fixing seat 322 to achieve a fastened connection between the connecting head 323 and the fixing seat 322; in addition, in this embodiment, two positioning posts 3231 are provided on the outer peripheral side of the connecting head 323, and the sensor 51 is provided with two mounting holes 513 that cooperate with the positioning posts 3231. The positioning posts 3231 pass through the mounting holes 513 to achieve the connection between the sensor 51 and the connecting head 323. Through the cooperation between the positioning posts 3231 and the mounting holes 513, the sensor 51 and the steam inlet pipe 321 can be fixed, making the connection between the sensor 51 and the steam inlet pipe 321 more firm and reliable; the provision of the two positioning posts 3231 can effectively prevent the sensor 51 from rotating, making the connection between the sensor 51 and the connecting head 323 more stable and reliable.

[0041] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the number of the positioning column 3231 can also be one. Using one positioning column 3231 can be combined with other fasteners to fix the sensor 51; similarly, the number of positioning columns 3231 can also be more than two.

[0042] In order to reduce the influence of the high temperature steam in the connector 323 on the sensor 51, a connecting plate 3232 is provided on the connector 323 in this embodiment. One end of the connecting plate 3232 is fixed to the surface of the connector 323 and is located at the lower side of the connecting seat 3233. One of the positioning posts 3231 is installed on the other end of the connecting plate 3232 away from the connector 323, and the other positioning post 3231 is installed on the connecting seat 3233. It should be noted that the diameter of the connecting seat 3233 is larger than that of the connector. The diameter of the head 323, the positioning column 3231 is fixed on the outer peripheral side of the connecting seat 3233, and the extension line of the positioning column 3231 does not intersect with the connecting head 323, thereby making the positioning column 3231 away from the connecting head 323. In addition, the sensor 51 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 512 with a mounting hole 513 and a sensor body 511 for sensing the trigger member 52. The sensor body 511 abuts against the inner side wall of the fixing seat 322 and is separated from the steam inlet pipe 321. The positioning column 323 The arrangement of the sensor body 511 on the connecting plate 3232 can increase the distance between the connecting plate 3232 and the steam inlet pipe 321. At the same time, the sensor body 511 is connected to the positioning post 3231 through the mounting plate 512, which can further increase the distance between the sensor body 511 and the steam inlet pipe 321, so that the sensor body 511 can be away from the steam inlet pipe 321, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature steam in the steam inlet pipe 321 on the sensor 51 and the possibility of the sensor body 511 failing due to long-term exposure to high temperature, thereby helping to maintain the sensitivity of the sensor 51 and extending the service life of the sensor 51. In addition, the sensor body 511 abuts against the inner side wall of the fixing seat 322, and the inner side wall of the fixing seat 322 acts on and restricts the sensor body 511, reducing the shaking and floating of the sensor body 511 and the possibility of the sensor body 511 being separated from the positioning post 3231, making the connection between the sensor 51 and the steam inlet pipe 321 more secure and reliable.

[0043] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the number of the connecting plates 3232 matches the number of the positioning posts 3231 directly mounted on the connecting head 323 .

[0044] Regarding the sensor body 511 abutting against the inner side wall of the fixing base 322, the mounting plate 512 of the sensor 51 described in this embodiment is tightly attached to one of the inner side walls of the fixing base 322. At the same time, the inner side wall covers the mounting hole 513 on the mounting plate 512, thereby ensuring that the mounting plate 512 and the positioning column 3231 are fitted stably and reliably. The surface of the sensor body 511 facing the inner side wall is flush with the surface of the mounting plate 512, thereby ensuring that both the sensor body 511 and the mounting plate 512 are tightly attached to the inner side wall.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the steam rack 21 in this embodiment is provided with a through-hole for the steam inlet channel 25 to extend into, and the outer peripheral side of the upper steaming layer is provided with a mounting seat 251 for mounting the trigger member 52, and the mounting seat 251 is located at the lower side of the through-hole. The mounting seat 251 can position the trigger member 52, thereby reducing the possibility of the trigger member 52 detaching from the upper steaming layer, and ensuring that after the upper steaming layer is placed in place, the trigger member 52 can stably trigger the sensor 51; in addition, the mounting seat 251 is located at the lower side of the steam inlet channel 25, and the sensor 51 is located at the top of the steam inlet component. When the steam inlet channel 25 is connected to the steam inlet component, the distance between the sensor 51 and the trigger member 52 can be reduced to the greatest extent, thereby effectively improving the sensitivity of the sensor 51, and making the cooking equipment more accurate and reliable in judging the upper steaming layer.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a socket is provided at the bottom of the steam inlet channel 25, and a seal 324 is installed at the top of the steam inlet assembly. The seal 324 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the top of the connecting head 323, and the bottom of the seal 324 is fixed on the edge of the through hole 3221, and the top is inserted into the socket of the steam inlet assembly. After the steam inlet channel 25 and the steam inlet assembly are plugged in, the seal 324 is sealed with the socket. The seal 324 can effectively improve the sealing of the connection between the steam inlet channel 25 and the steam inlet assembly, reduce steam leakage from the connection between the steam inlet channel 25 and the steam inlet assembly, help to reduce heat loss, and thus improve the heating efficiency of the upper steaming layer for food.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a water tank 4 is installed on the base 1, and an avoidance groove 41 is provided on the surface of the water tank 4 facing the pot body assembly, and the steam inlet assembly is embedded in the avoidance groove 41. The water tank 4 can store more water and continuously supply water to the steam generator 11, so that the steam generator 11 can generate more steam. At the same time, it can also make the steam stably and continuously transported to the lower steaming layer and the upper steaming layer, which helps to improve the heating efficiency of the food; in addition, embedding the steam inlet assembly into the avoidance groove 41 can reduce the overall volume of the cooking equipment, make the appearance of the cooking equipment more compact, and help to improve the aesthetics of the cooking equipment; secondly, the water tank 4 can also protect the steam inlet assembly, reduce the possibility of collision of the steam inlet assembly, and help to extend the service life of the steam inlet assembly.

[0048] In this embodiment, a main control board is provided in the base 1, and the steam generator 11 is provided with a steam outlet connected to the steam inlet component. The steam outlet is provided with a control valve, and the control valve closes the steam outlet to isolate the steam inlet component. The trigger member 52 triggers the sensor 51, and the sensor 51 sends an electrical signal to the main control board so that the main control board controls the control valve to open the steam outlet.

[0049] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the trigger member 52 triggers the sensor 51, and the sensor 51 can directly control the control valve to open the steam outlet.
