[0075] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a steam generating assembly 200 is proposed, including: a steam generating part 210; a bracket part 220, which is formed with a first steam chamber 201, a steam output port 202 and a support side 203, the first steam chamber 201 is connected between the steam generating part 210 and the steam output port 202, the steam output port 202 is used to discharge the gas in the first steam chamber 201, and the support side 203 is used to place the pot body assembly 400 of the cooking utensil.

[0077] The steam generating assembly 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a steam generating part 210 and a bracket part 220, wherein the bracket part 220 can be used to be set on the shell assembly 100 of the cooking utensil, the supporting side 203 of the bracket part 220 can be used to place the pot body assembly 400 of the cooking utensil, the steam generating part 210 is connected to the first steam chamber 201 of the bracket part 220, and the steam output port 202 of the bracket part 220 can be used to discharge the gas in the first steam chamber 201. Based on the above-mentioned settings, the steam generating assembly 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used as a component of a cooking utensil in actual application. Accordingly, the steam generating assembly 200 can use the bracket portion 220 to support the pot body assembly 400, and the pot body assembly 400 can be used to accommodate the food to be cooked, thereby providing a guarantee for the stable placement of the pot body assembly 400 and the food; the steam generating portion 210 can be used to output steam so as to use the steam to provide heat for the food to be cooked. Accordingly, the steam output by the steam generating portion 210 can be transported to the first steam chamber 201, so that based on the matching relationship between the pot body assembly 400 and the aforementioned supporting side 203, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can heat the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the supporting side 203, so as to increase the temperature of the food to be cooked in the pot body assembly 400; the aforementioned shell assembly 100 and the aforementioned pot A second steam chamber 402 can be formed between the components 400, and the steam output port 202 can be connected to the aforementioned second steam chamber 402, thereby providing a path for the steam in the first steam chamber 201 to overflow into the second steam chamber 402. As the steam generating component 200 continues to operate during the cooking process, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can overflow into the second steam chamber 402 through the steam output port 202 to heat the surface of the pot body component 400 corresponding to the second steam chamber 402. On the one hand, it can facilitate the steam to heat different parts of the pot body component 400, and can increase the heat exchange area between the pot body component 400 and the steam. On the other hand, it can also increase the steam volume increase rate in the second steam chamber 402, improve the heat exchange efficiency between the pot body component 400 and the steam, accelerate the heating rate of the food to be cooked, and help increase the food cooking amount of the cooking appliance.

[0078] It should be noted that Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6The straight lines with arrows in the figure are used to schematically indicate the flow direction of steam.

[0079] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the aforementioned cooking utensils may be, but are not limited to, steam stew pots, steam boilers, and other utensils that utilize steam heat to cook food. Accordingly, the cooking utensils may be used to stew, boil, and other cooking processes on the food to be cooked. It is understood that, in actual applications, the food to be cooked that the pot assembly 400 may be used to accommodate may be liquid and / or solid. For example, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the aforementioned pot body assembly 400 is arranged in the aforementioned shell assembly 100, and a gap is formed between the outer wall of the pot body assembly 400 and the inner wall of the shell assembly 100. The aforementioned second steam chamber 402 may include the aforementioned gap. Accordingly, the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the second steam chamber 402 and the surface corresponding to the support side 203 can be made different, so that the steam in the first steam chamber 201 and the steam in the second steam chamber 402 can heat different areas of the pot body assembly 400 respectively.

[0080] It can be understood that the steam generating component 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can utilize the steam output port 202 to provide a stable and reliable path for steam to flow outward from the first steam chamber 201. Therefore, compared with the natural flow and diffusion method, the steam generating component 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can make the steam in the first steam chamber 201 flow outward more easily and quickly when the steam in the first steam chamber 201 is relatively full. Accordingly, when the steam output port 202 is connected to the aforementioned second steam chamber 402, the steam increase rate in the second steam chamber 402 can be increased, which is beneficial to increase the heat exchange area between the pot body component 400 and the steam while accelerating the heating rate of the ingredients to be cooked, thereby achieving rapid cooking of food.

[0081] It is understandable that if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the pot body assembly 400 can be set on the supporting side 203 of the bracket part 220, so that the steam generating assembly 200 can use the bracket part 220 to support the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to improve the position stability of the pot body assembly 400 and provide a guarantee for the smooth progress of the cooking process.

[0082] It is understood that the steam generating portion 210 can be disposed inside or outside the housing assembly 100. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the steam generating part 210 is arranged inside the shell assembly 100, which is beneficial to shortening the distance between the steam generating part 210 and the pot body assembly 400, thereby reducing the flow distance of the steam and reducing the heat consumption of the steam during the flow process.

[0083] It can be understood that the steam output by the steam generating unit 210 may include but is not limited to water vapor.

[0084] like Figure 2 、 Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the first steam chamber 201 includes a first chamber 2011 and a second chamber 2012, the second chamber 2012 is located between the first chamber 2011 and the support side 203, and the bracket portion 220 is also formed with an overflow port 204, the overflow port 204 is connected between the first chamber 2011 and the second chamber 2012, the first chamber 2011 is connected between the overflow port 204 and the steam generating portion 210, and the second chamber 2012 is connected between the overflow port 204 and the steam output port 202.

[0085] In this technical solution, the aforementioned first steam chamber 201 may include a first chamber 2011 and a second chamber 2012. The first chamber 2011 and the second chamber 2012 can be connected to each other through the flow port 204 of the bracket part 220. The aforementioned first chamber 2011 is connected between the steam generating part 210 and the aforementioned flow port 204, so that the first chamber 2011 can receive the steam output by the steam generating part 210 and discharge it into the second chamber 2012 through the flow port 204. Accordingly, the second chamber 2012 can be arranged between the first chamber 2011 and the support side 203, so that the steam in the second chamber 2012 can heat the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the support side 203. The aforementioned steam output port 202 is connected to the aforementioned second chamber 2012, so that the steam in the second chamber 2012 can be discharged through the steam output port 202, so that the steam can heat the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the second steam chamber 402.

[0086] In some examples, the conduction area of ​​the steam outlet 202 is smaller than the conduction area of ​​the flow outlet 204 .

[0087] In this technical solution, the conduction area of ​​the steam output port 202 can be set to be smaller than the conduction area of ​​the flow port 204. Therefore, on the one hand, the steam flow velocity at the steam output port 202 can be made higher, and the steam can flow into the second steam chamber 402 at a higher flow rate, which is beneficial for the steam to quickly diffuse after entering the second steam chamber 402 and exchange heat with the pot body assembly 400, thereby further improving the cooking rate; on the other hand, the efficiency of steam entering the second chamber 2012 can be made higher than the efficiency of steam being discharged from the second chamber 2012, thereby preventing the steam from being directly discharged into the second steam chamber 402 after entering the second chamber 2012, which is beneficial for keeping the second chamber 2012 in a relatively full state of steam during the cooking process, and ensuring the heating effect of the area of ​​the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the support side 203.

[0088] It can be understood that the aforementioned flow port 204 may include multiple flow holes, and the aforementioned steam output port 202 may include multiple steam output holes 2021; accordingly, in the case where the aforementioned flow port 204 includes multiple flow holes, the conduction area of ​​the aforementioned flow port 204 may be the sum of the conduction areas of the multiple flow holes, and in the case where the aforementioned steam output port 202 includes multiple steam output holes 2021, the conduction area of ​​the aforementioned steam output port 202 may be the sum of the conduction areas of the multiple steam output holes 2021.

[0089] In some examples, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 2012 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow opening 204; and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 2012 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 2011; and / or in a direction perpendicular to the conduction direction of the flow opening 204, the maximum width of the second chamber 2012 is greater than the maximum width of the first chamber 2011.

[0090] In this technical solution, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 2012 can be set to be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow port 204, so as to facilitate the steam to flow into the second chamber 2012 through the flow port 204 and diffuse in the second chamber 2012, which can facilitate the buffering of the steam and help the steam to fill the second chamber 2012 more evenly, thereby improving the heating effect of the pot body assembly 400.

[0091] In this technical solution, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 2012 can be set to be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 2011. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 2012 at the end away from the support side 203 can be set to be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 2011 at the end close to the support side 203, thereby improving the guiding effect of the first chamber 2011 on steam, facilitating the rapid flow of steam to the second chamber 2012, and ensuring the diffusion buffering effect of the second chamber 2012 on steam, which is conducive to more uniform and efficient heating of the pot body assembly 400 by steam.

[0092] In this technical solution, the maximum width of the second chamber 2012 can be set to be greater than the maximum width of the first chamber 2011 in a direction perpendicular to the conduction direction of the flow port 204, thereby improving the guiding effect of the first chamber 2011 on steam, facilitating the rapid flow of steam to the second chamber 2012, and ensuring the diffusion buffering effect of the second chamber 2012 on steam, which is conducive to more uniform and efficient heating of the pot body assembly 400 by steam.

[0093] It is understandable that, in actual applications, all three size restrictions for the second chamber 2012 in this technical solution may be adopted, or any one or any two thereof may be adopted. The specific settings may be made in combination with actual needs, and no further restrictions are made here.

[0094] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the bracket portion 220 includes: a mounting seat 221, which is used to be set on the shell assembly 100 of the cooking appliance, and the steam generating portion 210 is set on the mounting seat 221; a support ring 222, which is formed with a steam output port 202, a support side 203 and a second chamber 2012, the steam output port 202 is located on the circumferential side of the support ring 222, and the support side 203 is located at one end of the support ring 222; a support seat 223, which is connected between the mounting seat 221 and the support ring 222, and is formed with a first chamber 2011 and a flow port 204.

[0095] In this technical solution, the aforementioned bracket portion 220 may include a mounting seat 221, a support ring 222 and a support seat 223, wherein the mounting seat 221 can be set on the shell assembly 100 of the cooking utensil, and the support seat 223 is connected between the mounting seat 221 and the support ring 222, and the aforementioned steam generating portion 210 can be set on the mounting seat 221, so that in actual application, the steam generating assembly 200 can use the shell assembly 100 for structural support, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the steam generating assembly 200; the end of the support ring 222 away from the support seat 223 is configured as the aforementioned support side 203, so that the bracket portion 220 can use the support ring 222 to structurally support the pot body assembly 400 to ensure the stability of the pot body assembly 400; accordingly, the aforementioned second cavity The chamber 2012 can be formed in the support ring 222. For example, the aforementioned second chamber 2012 can be the inner space of the support ring 222, and the aforementioned first chamber 2011 and the aforementioned flow port 204 can be formed in the aforementioned support seat 223; the aforementioned steam output port 202 can be formed on the peripheral side of the support ring 222, so that the steam in the second chamber 2012 can be discharged into the second steam chamber 402, and it is easy to make the conduction direction of the steam output port 202 different from the arrangement direction of the first chamber 2011 and the second chamber 2012, which is beneficial to prevent the steam from being directly discharged into the second steam chamber 402 after entering the second chamber 2012, and to facilitate the second chamber 2012 to maintain a relatively full state of steam during the cooking process, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the area of ​​the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the support side 203.

[0096] It can be understood that in actual application, the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400 can be set at one end of the support ring 222 away from the support seat 223, so as to improve the support reliability of the support ring 222 on the pot body assembly 400; accordingly, at least part of the second steam chamber 402 can be located on the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400, and since the steam output port 202 is opened on the peripheral side of the support ring 222, the steam can be closer to the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400 after being discharged through the steam output port 202 on the peripheral side of the support ring 222, which is beneficial for the steam to heat the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400.

[0097] It is understandable that the conduction direction of the steam outlet 202 can be inclined, vertical, or parallel to the horizontal direction, and can be set according to actual needs, and no further restrictions are made here.

[0098] It is understandable that the shape of the support ring 222 can be a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a polygonal ring, etc., and can be set according to actual needs, and no further restrictions are made here.

[0099] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the steam output port 202 includes: a plurality of steam output holes 2021, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support ring 222; wherein, at least some of the steam output holes 2021 have different conduction directions.

[0100] In this technical solution, the steam output port 202 may include a plurality of steam output holes 2021 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support ring 222, and the conduction directions of at least some of the steam output holes 2021 are different from each other, thereby improving the orientation diversity of the steam output port 202. During the cooking process, it is beneficial for the steam to diffuse more quickly and evenly after flowing into the second steam chamber 402, thereby accelerating the heat exchange efficiency between the steam in the second steam chamber 402 and the pot body assembly 400, and helping to avoid the risk of uneven temperature distribution in the second steam chamber 402.

[0101] It can be understood that, in the case that the steam output port 202 includes a plurality of steam output holes 2021 , the conduction area of ​​the steam output port 202 is the sum of the conduction areas of the plurality of steam output holes 2021 .

[0102] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the axial direction of the support ring 222 intersects with the conducting direction of the steam output hole 2021 .

[0103] In this technical solution, the axial direction of the support ring 222 can be arranged to intersect with the conduction direction of the steam output hole 2021, that is, the conduction direction of the steam output hole 2021 is arranged to be inclined relative to the axial direction of the support ring 222; it can be understood that in actual application, the axial direction of the support ring 222 can be arranged along the height direction of the pot body assembly 400, so as to facilitate the support ring 222 to support the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400. By setting the axial direction of the support ring 222 to intersect with the conduction direction of the steam output hole 2021, the steam flowing through the steam output hole 2021 can have a velocity component different from that in the height direction of the pot body assembly 400, which is conducive to the rapid diffusion of steam in the second steam chamber 402 and the formation of a flow trend around the side of the pot body assembly 400, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency between the steam and the pot body assembly 400 and improving the heating uniformity of the pot body assembly 400.

[0104] In some examples, the plurality of steam output holes 2021 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the support ring 222 .

[0105] In this technical solution, multiple steam output holes 2021 can be set and evenly arranged along the circumference of the support ring 222, which is conducive to further improving the uniformity of steam distribution in the second steam chamber 402, improving the heating uniformity of the part of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the second steam chamber 402, and enhancing the cooking effect and cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil.

[0106] It is understood that when there are two steam output holes 2021, the two steam output holes 2021 can be arranged centrally and symmetrically about the axis of the support ring 222. When there are more than two steam output holes 2021, the plurality of steam output holes 2021 can be arranged at equal angles around the axis of the support ring 222.

[0107] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the support seat 223 includes: a support body 2231, which is arranged on the mounting seat 221 and formed with an overflow port 204, and the other end of the support ring 222 is arranged on the support body 2231; a fitting 2232, which is connected to the support body 2231, and the first chamber 2011 is formed in the fitting 2232, and the fitting 2232 is also formed with a steam input port 205, and the mounting seat 221 is formed with a mounting port 206, and the fitting 2232 is passed through the mounting port 206, and the steam input port 205 is connected between the mounting port 206 and the first chamber 2011; wherein, the steam generating part 210 is arranged at the mounting port 206.

[0108] In this technical solution, the support seat 223 may include a support body 2231 and a matching piece 2232, wherein the support body 2231 is formed with the aforementioned flow port 204 and is connected to the aforementioned support ring 222, the matching piece 2232 is formed with the steam input port 205 and the aforementioned first chamber 2011, the matching piece 2232 is passed through the mounting port 206 of the mounting seat 221 and the support body 2231 is arranged on one side of the aforementioned mounting seat 221, so that a multi-position structural match can be formed between the support seat 223 and the mounting seat 221, which is conducive to improving the position stability and Reliability, providing more reliable guarantee for the stable placement of the pot body assembly 400; the aforementioned steam generating part 210 is arranged at the aforementioned installation port 206, so that the steam generating part 210 can be connected to the aforementioned steam input port 205 through the installation port 206, and then the first chamber 2011 can be connected to the steam output of the steam generating part 210 through the installation port 206 and the steam input port 205, and the support seat 223 can use the aforementioned matching part 2232 to guide the flow of steam, which is beneficial for the steam output of the steam generating part 210 to quickly flow to the second chamber 2012, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the pot body assembly 400.

[0109] It is understandable that the aforementioned fitting 2232 can be a tubular structure, one end of the fitting 2232 is connected to the aforementioned support body 2231, and the other end is formed with the aforementioned steam input port 205, and the aforementioned first chamber 2011 can be the space inside the tube of the fitting 2232.

[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the conduction area of ​​the steam input port 205 is larger than the conduction area S1 of the steam output port 202 .

[0111] In this technical solution, the conduction area of ​​the steam output port 202 can be set to be smaller than the conduction area S1 of the steam input port 205. Based on the above setting, on the one hand, the steam flow velocity at the steam output port 202 can be made higher, and the steam can flow into the second steam chamber 402 at a higher flow rate, which is beneficial for the steam to quickly diffuse after entering the second steam chamber 402 and exchange heat with the pot body assembly 400, further improving the cooking rate; on the other hand, it can also prevent the steam from being quickly discharged to the second steam chamber 402 after entering the first steam chamber 201, which is beneficial for keeping the first steam chamber 201 in a relatively full state of steam during the cooking process, and ensuring the heating effect of the area of ​​the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the first steam chamber 201.

[0112] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the steam generating assembly 200 further includes: a first sealing member 230 disposed between the inner wall of the mounting opening 206 and the fitting 2232 .

[0113] In this technical solution, the steam generating assembly 200 may also include a first sealing member 230 arranged between the inner wall of the mounting port 206 and the fitting 2232. Based on the aforementioned arrangement, the steam output by the steam generating portion 210 can be prevented from passing through the fitting gap between the fitting 2232 and the mounting port 206, thereby reducing the risk of condensate accumulation in the aforementioned fitting gap, and can constrain the flow path of the steam, further increasing the rate at which the steam flows from the first chamber 2011 to the second chamber 2012, thereby enhancing the flow guiding efficiency of the fitting 2232 for the steam.

[0114] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the outer peripheral wall of the fitting 2232 , the support body 2231 and the mounting seat 221 define a cavity 207 , and the inner peripheral wall of the fitting 2232 defines a first chamber 2011 .

[0115] In this technical solution, a cavity 207 can be formed between the outer peripheral wall of the aforementioned fitting 2232, the support body 2231 and the mounting seat 221, and the inner peripheral wall of the aforementioned fitting 2232 can define the aforementioned first chamber 2011. Based on the aforementioned setting, the steam generating component 200 can use the aforementioned cavity 207 to insulate the fitting 2232, reduce the probability of steam condensation in the first chamber 2011, and help improve the heating efficiency of the steam generating component 200 on the pot body component 400.

[0116] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the mounting seat 221 is further formed with a mounting wall 208, which is arranged around the mounting opening 206, and the support body 2231 is set on the mounting wall 208, and a cavity 207 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the mating piece 2232, the support body 2231 and the mounting wall 208; wherein the mounting wall 208 is arranged at an angle relative to the conduction direction of the mounting opening 206 so that the thickness of the cavity 207 decreases in the direction away from the mating piece 2232.

[0117] In this technical solution, the mounting wall 208 of the mounting seat 221 can form the aforementioned cavity 207 together with the outer peripheral wall of the mating piece 2232 and the support body 2231. The aforementioned mounting wall 208 can also be used to support the aforementioned support body 2231 and be arranged around the aforementioned mounting port 206. The mounting wall 208 can be arranged at an angle relative to the conduction direction of the mounting port 206 so that the thickness of the cavity 207 decreases in the direction away from the mating piece 2232; based on the aforementioned arrangement, on the one hand, the mounting wall 208 can be roughly conical, which is beneficial to improve the positioning effect of the mounting seat 221 on the support seat 223 and enhance the installation stability of the support seat 223; on the other hand, it can also reduce the overall volume of the cavity 207 while ensuring an unprecedentedly large coverage range of the circumferential side of the mating piece 2232, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bracket part 220, which is beneficial to improve the structural compactness of the steam generating assembly 200 and the cooking appliance while ensuring the heat preservation effect of the cavity 207 on the mating piece 2232.

[0118] It can be understood that the thickness of the aforementioned cavity 207 refers to the length of the cavity 207 in the conductive direction of the mounting port 206. Based on the matching relationship between the mating piece 2232 and the mounting port 206, the greater the thickness of the aforementioned cavity 207, the greater the coverage of the cavity 207 on the circumferential side of the mating piece 2232.

[0119] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the minimum distance between the steam outlet 202 and the flow opening 204 is greater than or equal to the minimum distance between the inner circumferential wall of the support ring 222 and the flow opening 204 .

[0120] In this technical solution, the minimum distance between the steam outlet 202 and the flow port 204 can be set to be greater than or equal to the minimum distance between the inner circumferential wall of the support ring 222 and the flow port 204, so that the steam outlet 202 can be located outside the second chamber 2012, avoiding the air inlet end of the steam outlet 202 from extending into the second chamber 2012; based on the above-mentioned setting, on the one hand, it can avoid that the part of the structure of the support ring 222 where the steam outlet 202 is formed is located in the second chamber 2012, which is beneficial to ensure the distribution range of the second chamber 2012, and thus ensure the heat exchange area between the steam in the second chamber 2012 and the pot body assembly 400, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the pot body assembly 400; on the other hand, it can also extend the distance between the flow port 204 and the steam outlet 202, thereby facilitating the steam to fill the second chamber 2012, and promoting the diffusion of steam in the second chamber, preventing the steam from flowing into the second chamber 2012 and then quickly flowing out through the steam outlet 202.

[0121] For example, the radial width of the support ring 222 corresponding to the steam outlet 202 can be set to be larger than the radial width at other circumferential positions, so as to facilitate the steam outlet 202 to extend from the inner circumference of the support ring 222 to the outer side of the support ring 222, and facilitate the orientation and shape design of the steam outlet 202.

[0122] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, in a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the support ring 222 , at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the support seat 223 is located outside the range of the orthographic projection of the support ring 222 .

[0123] In this technical solution, the lateral range of the support ring 222 and the support seat 223 is constrained. Based on the above-mentioned setting, at least part of the support seat 223 can protrude from the outside of the support ring 222, so that after the steam overflows through the steam outlet 202 on the peripheral side of the support ring 222, the support seat 223 can further restrict the flow direction of the steam to prevent the steam from flowing away from the support side, thereby facilitating the steam to heat the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400 and improving the heating efficiency of the steam on the pot body assembly 400.

[0124] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, a liquid collecting tank 209 is formed between the support base 223 and the mounting base 221 . The liquid collecting tank 209 is arranged around the support base 223 , and the height of the liquid collecting tank 209 is lower than the height of the steam outlet 202 .

[0125] In this technical solution, a liquid collecting tank 209 distributed around the support seat 223 can be formed between the support seat 223 and the mounting seat 221. The position height of the liquid collecting tank 209 is lower than the position height of the steam outlet 202, thereby preventing the condensate in the second steam chamber 402 from accumulating on the support seat 223 and preventing the condensate from blocking the steam outlet on the side of the support ring 222, thereby ensuring that the steam is stably and reliably discharged from the second chamber 2012 through the steam outlet 202.

[0126] It can be understood that in actual application, one end of the support ring 222 supports the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400. Accordingly, the aforementioned position height can be based on the axial direction of the support ring 222 as a reference direction, and the position height of the end of the support ring 222 away from the support seat 223 is set to be higher than the position height of the end of the support ring 222 connected to the support seat 223.

[0127] In some examples, the support ring 222 and the support seat 223 are an integral structure.

[0128] In this technical solution, the support ring 222 and the support seat 223 can be set as an integrated structure, so as to reduce the connection gap between the support ring 222 and the support seat 223, reduce the risk of steam in the first steam chamber 201 leaking through the aforementioned gap, and help the first steam chamber 201 maintain a relatively full state of steam.

[0129] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the steam generating assembly 200 further includes: a second sealing member 240 , disposed on the supporting side 203 , for sealing a connection gap between the supporting side 203 and the pot assembly 400 .

[0130] In this technical solution, the steam generating assembly 200 may further include a second seal 240 arranged on the support side 203. The second seal 240 may be used to seal the connection gap between the pot body assembly 400 and the support ring 222 to prevent the steam in the second chamber 2012 from flowing into the second steam chamber 402 through the aforementioned connection gap. It can limit the conduction area and conduction path between the second chamber 2012 and the second steam chamber 402, which is beneficial to keep the second chamber 2012 in a relatively full state of steam during the cooking process, thereby further improving cooking efficiency.

[0131] Exemplarily, the second seal 240 can be used to abut the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400, so that when the pot body assembly 400 is placed on the support side 203, the weight of the pot body assembly 400 can be used to press the second seal 240 to ensure the sealing effect of the second seal 240; accordingly, the second seal 240 can be an annular structure that is compatible with the support ring 222.

[0132] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, according to the second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cooking utensil is proposed, comprising: a shell assembly 100; a pot body assembly 400, which is arranged in the shell assembly 100, and the pot body assembly 400 and the shell assembly 100 form a second steam chamber 402; a steam generating assembly 200 as proposed in any one of the above-mentioned first aspects, the bracket portion 220 is arranged on the shell assembly 100, and the pot body assembly 400 is arranged on the support side 203; wherein the steam output port 202 is connected to the second steam chamber 402.

[0133] The cooking utensil provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a shell assembly 100, a pot body assembly 400 and a steam generating assembly 200 as proposed in any one of the first aspects above, wherein the pot body assembly 400 is arranged in the shell assembly 100, and a second steam chamber 402 is formed between the pot body assembly 400 and the shell assembly 100, the bracket portion 220 is arranged on the shell assembly 100 and the supporting side 203 of the bracket portion 220 supports the pot body assembly 400, and the first steam chamber 201 of the steam generating assembly 200 and the aforementioned second steam chamber 402 can be connected through the steam output port 202 of the steam generating assembly 200. Based on the above-mentioned settings, the cooking utensil provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can utilize the pot body assembly 400 to accommodate the food to be cooked in actual application; the steam generating assembly 200 can be used to output steam so that the cooking utensil can utilize steam to provide heat for the food to be cooked; accordingly, the steam output by the steam generating portion 210 can be transported to the first steam chamber 201, so that based on the matching relationship between the pot body assembly 400 and the aforementioned supporting side 203, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can heat the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the supporting side 203 to increase the temperature of the food to be cooked in the pot body assembly 400; a second steam chamber 402 can be enclosed between the aforementioned shell assembly 100 and the aforementioned pot body assembly 400, and the steam output port 202 can be connected to the aforementioned The second steam chamber 402 provides a path for the steam in the first steam chamber 201 to overflow into the second steam chamber 402. As the steam generating assembly 200 continues to operate during the cooking process, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can overflow into the second steam chamber 402 through the steam output port 202 to heat the surface of the pot body assembly 400 corresponding to the second steam chamber 402. On the one hand, it can facilitate the steam to heat different parts of the pot body assembly 400, and can increase the heat exchange area between the pot body assembly 400 and the steam. On the other hand, it can also increase the steam volume increase rate in the second steam chamber 402, improve the heat exchange efficiency between the pot body assembly 400 and the steam, accelerate the heating rate of the food to be cooked, and help to increase the food cooking amount of the cooking appliance.

[0134] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the cooking utensils provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be used as, but not limited to, steam stew pots, steam boilers, and other appliances that utilize steam heat to cook food. Accordingly, the cooking utensils can be used to perform cooking processes such as stewing and boiling on the food to be cooked. It is understood that, in actual applications, the food to be cooked that the pot assembly 400 can accommodate can be liquid and / or solid.

[0135] It can be understood that the cooking utensil provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can utilize the steam output hole 2021 to provide a stable and reliable path for steam to flow from the first steam chamber 201 to the second steam chamber 402. Therefore, compared with the natural flow and diffusion method, the cooking utensil provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can make the steam in the first steam chamber 201 more easily and quickly enter the second steam chamber 402 when the steam in the first steam chamber 201 is relatively full, thereby increasing the steam increase rate in the second steam chamber 402, which is beneficial to increase the heat exchange area between the pot body assembly 400 and the steam while accelerating the heating rate of the ingredients to be cooked, thereby achieving rapid cooking of food.

[0136] It is understandable that if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the pot body assembly 400 can be set on the supporting side 203 of the bracket part 220, so that the cooking appliance can use the bracket part 220 to support the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to improve the position stability of the pot body assembly 400 and provide a guarantee for the smooth progress of the cooking process.

[0137] It is understandable that if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the shell assembly 100 and the pot body assembly 400 can be arranged at intervals, that is, the shell assembly 100 and the pot body assembly 400 may not have a direct contact relationship. Accordingly, the interval between the shell assembly 100 and the pot body assembly 400 can serve as the aforementioned second steam chamber 402, thereby expanding the distribution range of the second steam chamber 402, which is conducive to further increasing the heat exchange area and heat exchange efficiency between the steam and the pot body assembly 400.

[0138] It can be understood that by arranging the pot body assembly 400 to be located inside the shell assembly 100, the heat exchange between the pot body assembly 400 and the external environment can also be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the heat loss of the pot body assembly 400, improving the heat utilization rate of the cooking appliance, and thus improving cooking efficiency.

[0139] It is understood that the steam generating portion 210 can be disposed inside or outside the housing assembly 100. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the steam generating part 210 is arranged inside the shell assembly 100, which is beneficial to shortening the distance between the steam generating part 210 and the pot body assembly 400, thereby reducing the flow distance of the steam and reducing the heat consumption of the steam during the flow process.

[0140] It can be understood that the steam output by the steam generating unit 210 may include but is not limited to water vapor.

[0141] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some examples, the bottom wall of the pot assembly 400 is disposed on the support side 203 , and at least a portion of the second steam chamber 402 is located on the peripheral side of the pot assembly 400 .

[0142] In this technical solution, the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400 can be set on the bracket side, and accordingly, the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400 can correspond to the aforementioned support side 203, so that on the one hand, the bracket part 220 can be located below the pot body assembly 400 and provide bottom support for the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the pot body assembly 400; on the other hand, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can heat the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to the diffusion of heat in the pot body assembly 400, thereby improving the heat utilization rate and cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance. At least part of the aforementioned second steam chamber 402 can be arranged on the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400, that is, at least part of the second steam chamber 402 can be enclosed between the peripheral wall of the pot body assembly 400 and the shell assembly 100, thereby increasing the position difference between the first steam chamber 201 and the second steam chamber 402, improving the heat exchange area between the pot body assembly 400 and the steam, and narrowing the temperature difference between different positions of the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to uniform heating of the pot body assembly 400 and further improving the cooking effect and cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance.

[0143] It can be understood that the pot body assembly 400 can have a pot mouth, and the bottom wall of the aforementioned pot body assembly 400 is also the side of the pot body assembly 400 facing away from the pot mouth; accordingly, the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400 refers to the side of the portion of the pot body assembly 400 located between the aforementioned pot mouth and the aforementioned bottom wall.

[0144] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the pot body assembly 400 includes: a pot body portion 410, the bottom wall of which is arranged on the support side 203; a pot cover portion 420, which is arranged on the pot body portion 410; wherein, part of the second steam chamber 402 is located on the peripheral side of the pot body portion 410, and part of the second steam chamber 402 is located on the side of the pot cover portion 420 facing away from the pot body portion 410.

[0145] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot body assembly 400 may include a pot body portion 410 and a pot cover portion 420, wherein the pot body portion 410 has a pot mouth, and the aforementioned pot cover portion 420 can be used to cover or open the pot mouth. When the pot cover portion 420 covers the pot mouth, the pot cover portion 420 and the pot body portion 410 can form a cooking cavity, and the ingredients to be cooked can be placed in the aforementioned cooking cavity; accordingly, the bottom wall of the pot body portion 410 can be set on the supporting side 203, so that the bracket portion 220 can support the bottom of the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the pot body assembly 400, and accordingly, the steam in the first steam cavity 201 can heat the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400, which is beneficial to the diffusion of heat in the pot body assembly 400. The aforementioned second steam chamber 402 can be partially located on the peripheral side of the pot body 410, and partially located between the side of the pot cover 420 away from the pot body 410 and the shell assembly 100, so as to further expand the distribution range of the second steam chamber 402, increase the heat exchange area between the pot body assembly 400 and the steam, and help avoid the phenomenon of lower temperature in part of the cooking cavity near the pot cover 420, reduce the probability of steam in the cooking cavity condensing on the inner side of the pot cover 420, and help improve the cooking effect and cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance.

[0146] In some examples, the bottom wall of the pot assembly 400 is sealed to the support side 203 .

[0147] In this technical solution, a sealed connection can be set between the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400 and the support side 203, so that when the support side 203 is formed with an opening connected to the first steam chamber 201, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can be prevented from flowing into the second steam chamber 402 through the connection gap between the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400 and the bracket assembly, and the conduction area and conduction path between the first steam chamber 201 and the second steam chamber 402 can be limited, which is conducive to keeping the first steam chamber 201 in a relatively full state of steam during the cooking process, providing a guarantee for the steam heating effect on the bottom wall of the pot body assembly 400, and further improving cooking efficiency.

[0148] It can be understood that when the support side 203 is formed with the aforementioned opening, the heating efficiency of the bottom wall of the pot assembly 400 by steam can be improved.

[0149] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the cooking appliance further includes: a flow guide component 500, which is sleeved on the circumference of the pot body component 400, and the flow guide component 500 is formed with a flow channel 501, and the flow channel 501 is connected between the steam output port 202 and the second steam chamber 402.

[0150] In this technical solution, the cooking utensil may further include a flow guide assembly 500 mounted on the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400, and the flow guide assembly 500 forms a flow channel 501 connected between the steam output port 202 and the second steam chamber 402. Based on the above-mentioned setting, the steam in the first steam chamber 201 can preferentially enter the flow channel 501 after being discharged through the steam output port 202, and the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400 is heated in a targeted manner through the flow guide assembly 500, thereby improving the heating effect of the peripheral side of the pot body assembly 400, which is conducive to the rapid heating of the food.

[0151] It can be understood that the volume of the flow channel 501 is smaller than the volume of the second steam chamber 402. Therefore, based on the aforementioned setting of the technical solution, the steam does not need to fill the larger second steam chamber 402 when it is discharged from the first steam chamber 201. Accordingly, it can preferentially pass through the flow channel 501 for convection heat exchange with the pot body assembly 400, thereby further improving the cooking speed; after the steam flows out of the flow channel 501, the steam can increase the overall temperature of the second steam chamber 402, thereby improving the insulation effect of the pot body assembly 400 and the guide assembly 500, reducing the heat dissipation of the pot body assembly 400 and the guide assembly 500 to the outside world, and maintaining the internal temperature of the pot body assembly 400.

[0152] It is understandable that the flow guide assembly 500 may be an integrated structure; or, the flow guide assembly 500 may include a plurality of flow guide members connected in sequence.

[0153] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the flow channel 501 is spiral.

[0154] In this technical solution, the flow channel 501 can be spiral, so based on the above-mentioned setting, the length of the flow channel 501 can be extended, and the steam can flow in a spiral in the flow channel 501, so that the cooking appliance can use steam to heat the surrounding side of the pot body assembly 400, which is conducive to further improving the heating effect of steam on the pot body assembly 400.

[0155] In some examples, the flow guide component 500 is made of silicone material or plastic material.

[0156] In this technical solution, the guide component 500 is made of silicone material, which can improve the molding convenience of the guide component 500 and reduce the processing cost of the guide component 500.

[0157] Alternatively, the flow guide component 500 is made of plastic material, thereby improving the shape stability of the flow guide component 500 and the flow passage 501 and ensuring the flow restriction effect of the flow guide component 500 on steam.

[0158] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the shell assembly 100 includes: a base portion 110; a cover portion 120, the cover is arranged on the base portion 110, and the steam generating assembly 200 and the pot body assembly 400 are both arranged between the base portion 110 and the cover portion 120.
