[0002] For home and commercial kitchens, when it comes to making pastries such as bread and cakes, convenient fermentation tools and baking tools are often needed. Currently, fermentation boxes with separate fermentation functions and electric ovens with separate baking functions are common on the market, but there is no product that can combine fermentation and baking functions. This is because the fermentation function requires a humidity sensor to detect humidity and a vibrating atomizer to generate mist, and their core components are all semiconductors, which are not resistant to high temperatures and are not suitable for the high temperature environment inside the oven. A few electric ovens are equipped with a fermentation mode, but they can usually only heat at low temperatures and do not have a humidification function. Therefore, under the existing technology, making pastries often requires a separate fermentation box and a separate electric oven, which not only has a high cost for purchasing equipment, but also takes up too much space, causing inconvenience.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 5 A humidifying fermentation device for an electric oven according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0025] A humidifying fermentation device for an electric oven includes a humidifying assembly 1, which comprises a plastic substrate 2, an atomizing chamber 3, and a water tank 4. The plastic substrate 2 is fixed to an outer panel 6 on the side or bottom of an oven 5 via screws. Because the outer panel 6 maintains a low temperature, consistently below 80°C, the components within the humidifying assembly 1 are protected from damage regardless of whether the oven 5 is operating at low or high temperatures. This allows the humidifying assembly 1 to operate in both low- and high-temperature heating modes, providing a humidifying function.

[0026] The inner plate 7 on the same side of the oven 5 and the humidifying component 1 is pulled open to form a side hole to form a steam spray hole 8. One end of the plastic substrate 2 protrudes to form a steam guide pipe 9, and the steam guide pipe 9 opens at the steam spray hole 8 of the inner plate 7. The steam spray hole 8 is made in the form of a side hole to reduce the direct heat to the outer plate 6, while preventing food residue from entering the steam guide pipe 9. The upper end of the atomization chamber 3 is connected to the plastic substrate 2 by screws, and the lower end of the atomization chamber 3 is detachably connected to the water tank 4 by a plug-in structure. The plastic substrate 2 is provided with a card slot 10, and the edge of the top surface of the water tank 4 is turned out, so that the water tank 4 is connected to the plastic substrate 2 through the card slot 10. The water tank 4 can be removed or installed along the card slot 10, so that it is convenient to fill the water tank 4 with water.

[0027] An atomizing plate 11 is mounted on the top of the atomizing chamber 3, and a sponge rod 12 and a silicone spring pad 13 are installed inside the atomizing chamber 3. The ends of the sponge rod 12 contact the atomizing plate 11 and the silicone spring pad 13, respectively. The silicone spring pad 13 is positioned at an appropriate distance from the atomizing plate 11, ensuring that the sponge rod 12 is slightly compressed. This ensures sufficient contact between the sponge rod 12 and the atomizing plate 11, allowing the sponge rod 12 to continuously absorb water and transfer it to the atomizing plate 11. The atomizing plate 11 is connected to the electronic board.

[0028] A water outlet pipe 14 protrudes from the bottom of the side of the water tank 4. A steel valve stem 15 is inserted into this pipe. A first sealing ring 16 is located at the inner end of this steel valve stem 15, which is protected by a spring 17. A water inlet 18 is formed at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 3. A rubber column is located in the center of this water inlet 18. This removable connection to the water outlet pipe 14 is provided, and a second sealing ring 19 is located within this water inlet 18. The water tank 4 is provided with a tank cover 20.

[0029] In operation, first fill the water tank 4 with water. Initially, due to the action of spring 17, the first sealing ring 16 on the steel valve stem 15 seals the water outlet pipe 14 at the bottom of the water tank 4, preventing water leakage. Next, replace the water tank cover 20 and insert the slot 10 of the plastic substrate 2. At this point, the water outlet pipe 14 at the bottom of the water tank 4 is inserted into the water inlet 18 at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 3. The steel valve stem 15 is held in place by the central rubber column of the water inlet 18. The steel valve stem 15, together with the first sealing ring 16 at its end, moves relative to the water outlet pipe 14 toward the inside of the water tank 4, thereby opening the water outlet pipe 14 and connecting the waterway. Water in the water tank 4 enters the atomizing chamber 3 through the water outlet pipe 14, is drawn up by the sponge rod 12, and is transferred to the atomizing plate 11. The oven is then set to "humidification, fermentation" mode. The oven begins low-temperature heating according to the built-in program. When the temperature is below the set temperature range, the heating element operates. When the temperature is above the set temperature range, the heating element stops operating, maintaining the oven temperature within the appropriate range. The oven controls the atomizing sheet 11 through the circuit to continuously generate wet mist, which is guided to the steam injection hole 8 of the inner plate through the steam guide pipe 9 of the plastic substrate 2 and then enters the inner cavity of the oven.

[0030] In addition, different humidity levels during the humidification fermentation process can be achieved by setting different power on-off ratios for the atomizer 11. Before setting the humidification program for the oven, an independent humidity sensor is placed in the oven and the atomizer 11 is operated at different power on-off ratios. The different humidity values ​​corresponding to the different on-off ratios are tested and a program is compiled based on this data to set different humidity levels on the oven control circuit to achieve humidity control of the humidification function.

[0031] This utility model provides a humidifying and fermenting device for an electric oven. Its humidifying component is fixed to an outer plate, far from the oven's interior, to prevent damage to the component from high temperatures. Furthermore, by controlling the on-off ratio of the atomizing plate, different humidity levels within the oven can be controlled. This allows the oven to humidify to achieve target humidity levels at different temperatures, effectively combining humidification and fermentation functions. Users no longer need to purchase a separate fermentation box and oven, thus saving equipment costs and kitchen space.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
