Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food devices, in particular to a water-replenishing and humidifying electric baking pan. Background Art

[0002] An electric griddle is an electrical device for cooking food. It heats one side or both sides simultaneously, subjecting the food in the middle to high temperatures, allowing for flexible cooking methods such as baking, pan-frying, and frying. Currently, some electric griddles on the market have a steam humidification function, such as the cooking device disclosed in Chinese patent CN218186445U, which comprises: a cooking device body comprising an upper baking tray assembly and a lower baking tray assembly rotatably connected to the upper baking tray assembly; and a steam generating device disposed on the upper baking tray assembly; the steam generating device includes a water tank having a water storage chamber and a steam outlet channel; the steam outlet channel is provided with a waterproof member, the waterproof member having a steam channel, the water storage chamber communicating with the steam outlet channel via the steam channel, the waterproof member having a steam inlet and a steam outlet, the steam outlet communicating with the steam outlet channel.

[0003] In the above-mentioned prior art, after the water in the water storage chamber is converted into steam under the action of an independent heat source, the steam can enter the steam channel through the steam inlet of the waterproof component, and enter the steam outlet channel from the steam channel through the steam outlet, and finally be discharged through the steam outlet channel to replenish water for the food in the cooking utensil.

[0004] With existing water replenishment methods, after turning on the humidification function, you need to wait for the water in the water storage chamber to boil, and the hysteresis before turning off the humidification function makes operation inconvenient. The independent steam generator also leads to a complex structure, prone to scale formation, inconvenient cleaning, and high cost. Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water-replenishing and humidifying electric baking pan with a reasonable structure and easy use in view of the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] The utility model discloses a water-replenishing and humidifying electric griddle, comprising a base and an upper cover, the upper cover being openably connected to the base via a hinge assembly. When the upper cover is closed on the base, a grilling chamber is formed between the two. The upper cover is provided with a water tank and a water pipe, the water pipe being adjacent to the grilling chamber, and the water tank being connected to the grilling chamber via the water pipe. The water tank is provided with a pump assembly, which can gradually and quantitatively transport water from the water tank through the water pipe into the grilling chamber. The pump assembly pumps water from the water tank into the water pipe. As the water flows through the water pipe, it is heated by the grilling chamber, causing it to partially vaporize. The water and steam enter the grilling chamber together, with the steam at the top of the grilling chamber and the water falling to the bottom of the grilling chamber, where it is heated again and vaporized, thereby fully humidifying the food. The pump assembly can control the amount of water added, resulting in a simple structure and lower cost.

[0008] According to the above solution, the upper cover is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes, and the water tank is connected to the plurality of water outlet holes through water pipes. The upper cover is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes connected to the grilling cavity, and the plurality of water outlet holes can be evenly distributed, so that the humidification effect is more uniform.

[0009] According to the above solution, the upper cover is provided with a pipe joint, to which the water pipe is connected, and the water tank is detachably mounted on the upper cover and connected to the pipe joint. The pipe joint is a quick connector, and the water tank can be directly connected to the pipe joint. The water tank can be removed to add water and then reinstalled on the upper cover after it is filled with water. Furthermore, the pipe joint can adopt a three-way or four-way structure to meet the connection requirements of multiple water outlets.

[0010] According to the above solution, the bottom surface of the water tank is provided with a bottom cover, which is provided with a water outlet and a water inlet, and a sealing cover is provided on the water inlet. The top cover is provided with a slot, and a pipe joint is provided within the slot. The water tank is removably mounted within the slot, allowing the water outlet to be connected to the pipe joint. The slot and the water tank form a mating structure, and the water tank is inserted and positioned within the slot to position the water outlet so that the water outlet can be aligned and connected to the pipe joint. It is understood that the sealing cover and the water inlet are removably connected, and the two can be connected using conventional methods such as a snap-fit ​​structure and a threaded structure. Of course, the water inlet is opened at the bottom of the water tank, and a sealing member is provided between the sealing cover and the water inlet to ensure sealing.

[0011] According to the above solution, the water tank is provided with a control member that can reciprocate or rotate on the water tank. A pump assembly is disposed within the water tank and connected to the water outlet, and the control member is in transmission connection with the pump assembly. The pump assembly is typically a reciprocating structure, with the control member disposed on the top surface of the water tank. The pump assembly can be driven by pressing up and down to input water into the water pipe. Preferably, the pump assembly can be driven by rotation, allowing the user to control the amount of water used for humidification by the number of rotations of the control member.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the pumping assembly includes a silicone tube and a rolling element. A ring seat is provided in the water tank, and the silicone tube is coiled in the ring seat. One end of the silicone tube is connected to the water outlet. The rolling element is provided with a plurality of rollers. A control element is connected to the rolling element so that it can be rotatably arranged in the ring seat. The plurality of rollers roll on the silicone tube. Specifically, the plurality of rollers are arranged around the rotation center of the rolling element. The rolling element is rotatably arranged in the ring seat, so that the silicone tube is clamped between the plurality of rollers and the ring seat. One end of the silicone tube is open to connect to the inner cavity of the water tank. The other end of the silicone tube is connected to the water outlet, thereby connecting to the water pipe.

[0013] The control part drives the rolling part and several rollers thereon to rotate. Multiple rollers roll the silicone tube in sections so that water is sucked in from one end of the silicone tube and squeezed out to the water outlet from the other end, thereby achieving the continuous, multiple and quantitative water delivery effect of the pump pressure component.

[0014] According to the above solution, the roller is rotatably connected to the rolling member, and the roller can rotate on the rolling member so that the roller rolls on the silicone tube to reduce resistance.

[0015] According to the above solution, the ring seat is provided with a notch, through which both ends of the silicone tube pass. One end of the silicone tube can be fixed within the inner cavity of the water tank using a retaining structure, while the other end of the silicone tube is connected to the water outlet. Furthermore, when the rolling element drives the roller to rotate to the notch, the roller disengages from the silicone tube. After the roller passes the notch, it cooperates with the ring seat to roll the silicone tube, rolling the silicone tube along the inner wall of the ring seat so that the water within it flows toward the water outlet.

[0016] According to the above solution, the sealing cap is equipped with an air return valve, and the aforementioned control member is rotatably mounted on the upper end surface of the water tank. A seal is formed between the control member and the water tank, thereby ensuring the entire water tank is hermetically sealed. Furthermore, after the pump assembly pumps water out of the water tank, external air can enter the water tank through the air return valve, preventing negative pressure from forming within the water tank, which could cause cooking fumes from the grilling chamber to flow back into the water tank.

[0017] According to the above solution, an upper grilling pan is provided on the lower bottom surface of the upper cover, and a lower grilling pan is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate. When the upper cover is closed on the bottom plate, a grilling cavity is formed between the upper and lower grilling pans, and the water pipe is abutted against the upper grilling pan. Both the upper and lower grilling pans can heat the food in the grilling cavity. It is understood that the water pipe partially abuts against the upper grilling pan so that water passing through the water pipe is partially vaporized. The unvaporized water flows into the grilling cavity, where it is heated by the lower grilling pan and vaporized again, thereby fully moistening the food.

[0018] This utility model discloses a water-replenishing and humidifying electric griddle. The pump assembly pumps water from the water tank into the water pipe. As the water flows through the water pipe, it is heated by the grilling cavity and partially vaporized. The water and steam enter the grilling cavity together. The steam is in the upper part of the grilling cavity, and the water falls to the bottom of the grilling cavity, where it is heated and vaporized again, thereby fully humidifying the ingredients. The pump assembly can control the amount of water added, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is low in cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
