[0043] The present application provides a water tank structure for a steam oven, which can be applied to a steam oven 100, such as Figure 1 Part of the structure of the steam oven 100 is shown. The steam oven 100 includes a steam oven body 103. The steam oven body 103 has a control panel 102. The control panel 102 is provided with a water tank hole. The water tank seat 1 of the water tank structure is installed on the water tank bracket 101 of the steam oven body 103. The water tank body 2 is movably installed on the water tank seat 1, and the water tank body 2 is movably passed through the water tank hole. When water needs to be added, the water tank body 2 is pushed out. After the water adding is completed, the water tank body 2 is retracted.

[0044] Figures 2 to 6 The water tank structure of a steam oven provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a water tank base 1, a water tank body 2, and a driving device 3. The water tank base 1 is provided with a receiving chamber 1a and an opening connected to the receiving chamber 1a; the water tank body 2 is movably inserted into the receiving chamber 1a from the opening; the driving device 3 includes a motor 31, a crank 32, a connecting rod 33, and a sliding block 34. One end of the crank 32 is connected to the output end of the motor 31, the other end of the crank 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 33, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the sliding block 34; the other end of the sliding block 34 is connected to the end of the water tank body 2 facing away from the opening. In this way, in the present application, the motor 31 drives the crank 32 to rotate, the crank 32 drives the connecting rod 33 to move, the connecting rod 33 drives the sliding block 34 to move, and the sliding block 34 drives the water tank body 2 to move, thereby realizing the automatic ejection function. Regardless of the amount of water in the water tank, the driving device 3 can stably push the water tank body 2 to move, with high reliability.

[0045] The water tank structure of the present application addresses the problem of different pop-up speeds of push-type water tanks. By driving the crank slider structure with a motor, a sliding block is used to push out the water tank body, replacing the spring pop-up of the push-type water tank. The speed is uniform and the pop-up speed will not be different due to different amounts of water in the water tank body, causing water to spill or the water tank to fall to the ground. The user experience is good.

[0046] Compared with the push-type water tank, the stroke is controllable, which makes the water tank have good reset performance. After pressing the water tank multiple times, there will be no step difference between the press-type water tank and the control panel, and it has strong reliability.

[0047] It can be understood that the accommodating cavity 1 a of the water tank seat 1 provides an installation base and a limiting space for the water tank body 2 .

[0048] Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to show the position of the water tank body 2, the upper cover part of the water tank seat 1 is hidden.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank structure also includes a mounting seat 4, which is located outside the water tank seat 1, and the motor 31 is arranged on the mounting seat 4; it can be understood that the mounting seat 4 can be installed on the water tank bracket 101, and the mounting seat 4 provides an installation basis and support for the driving device 3.

[0050] A through hole 1b is provided on the side of the water tank base 1 facing away from the outlet. The through hole 1b is connected to the accommodating chamber 1a. The sliding block 34 is movably inserted through the through hole 1b. The through hole 1b serves as a relief, allowing the driving device 3 to drive the water tank body 2 located in the accommodating chamber 1a.

[0051] It is understandable that not arranging the driving device 3 in the accommodating chamber 1a can prevent the driving device 3 from affecting the pushing back of the water tank body 2. In this embodiment, the operation of pushing the water tank body 2 back into the accommodating chamber 1a can be achieved not only by reversing the motor 31, but also by the user directly pushing it back manually.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank structure also includes a guide cylinder 5, which has a guide channel 5a. The guide cylinder 5 is arranged on the water tank seat 1 and penetrates the through hole 1b; the sliding block 34 is slidably penetrated in the guide channel 5a.

[0053] It can be understood that the guide cylinder 5 guides and limits the movement of the sliding block 34, so that the sliding block 34 moves linearly.

[0054] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank seat 1 is also provided with a positioning cylinder 11, and the positioning cylinder 11 is provided with a positioning hole; the positioning cylinder 11 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 1a, and the positioning cylinder 11 is arranged corresponding to the through hole 1b; the guide cylinder 5 is detachably installed in the positioning hole.

[0055] It can be understood that the provision of the positioning cylinder 11 can facilitate the installation of the guide cylinder 5 and improve the assembly stability of the guide cylinder 5 .

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the positioning cylinder 11 includes a cylinder portion 111, a positioning portion 112 and a clamping portion 113. The positioning portion 112 is provided on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 1a and is provided with a limiting groove 112a. The cylinder portion 111 is provided in the accommodating cavity 1a and is enclosed with the positioning portion 112 to form a positioning hole. The clamping portion 113 is provided on the side of the water tank seat 1 away from the accommodating cavity 1a and is provided with an elastic buckle 114.

[0057] The guide tube 5 is limited in the limiting groove 112 a and is engaged with the elastic buckle 114 .

[0058] It can be understood that the limiting groove 112a is matched with the guide cylinder 5, and the guide cylinder 5 can slide along the limiting groove 112a until the guide cylinder 5 is engaged with the elastic buckle 114. On the one hand, the above design improves the assembly efficiency and reduces the assembly difficulty. On the other hand, it can also improve the position stability of the guide cylinder 5.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the guide cylinder 5 includes a limiting plate 51 and a curved plate 52, and the curved plate 52 and the limiting plate 51 are enclosed to form a guide channel 5a; the limiting plate 51 is limited in the limiting groove 112a; the side of the limiting plate 51 facing the limiting groove 112a is provided with a snap-fitting groove 51a, and the limiting plate 51 slides along the limiting groove 112a until the elastic snap 114 is snapped with the snap-fitting groove 51a.

[0060] It is understood that the limiting plate 51 is engaged with the limiting groove 112a, and the limiting plate 51 can slide along the limiting groove 112a during assembly. The limiting groove 112a plays a positioning and guiding role, improving assembly efficiency. The engaging groove 51a engages with the elastic buckle 114 to achieve a stable connection between the guide cylinder 5 and the positioning cylinder 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cross section of the guide channel 5a is non-circular, and accordingly, the cross section of the sliding block 34 is also non-circular. In this way, the cooperation between the sliding block 34 and the guide channel 5a can prevent rotation.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bottom side of the water tank body 2 is recessed inward to form an assembly groove 2a, and the sliding block 34 is arranged in the assembly groove 2a.

[0063] It can be understood that the assembly groove 2a provides an assembly space for the sliding block 34, which can reduce the contact area between the sliding block 34 and the water tank seat 1, reduce friction, and make sliding smoother.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the water tank structure also includes a micro switch 6, which is electrically connected to the motor 31; the micro switch 6 is arranged on the mounting seat 4; when the sliding block 34 moves to trigger the micro switch 6, the motor 31 stops.

[0065] It can be understood that the movement limit position of the water tank body 2 can be controlled by providing the micro switch 6 .

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a connecting column 341 and a trigger portion 342 are provided at one end of the sliding block 34 close to the connecting rod 33, and the connecting column 341 and the trigger portion 342 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the sliding block 34; the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 341, and the trigger portion 342 is used to trigger the micro switch 6.

[0067] It is understandable that the connecting column 341 and the trigger portion 342 are located on different sides of the sliding block 34, which can prevent the connecting rod 33 from colliding with the trigger portion 342 and play a fool-proof role.

[0068] On the other hand, Figure 1 As shown, the present application also provides a steam oven 100, comprising a steam oven body 103 and the above-described steam oven water tank structure. The specific structure of the steam oven water tank structure is referred to the above-described embodiment. Since the steam oven 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Among them, the water tank seat 1 of the water tank structure is connected to the steam oven body 103.

[0069] The drive mechanism of this application can be replaced with a trigger. This trigger is a prior art structure and will not be described in detail here. Thus, the water tank structure of this application, except for the drive mechanism, is compatible and can be adapted to either the trigger or the drive mechanism. This achieves material compatibility and reduces mold costs. This allows for product differentiation without requiring two sets of materials, thus achieving unified material utilization.
