[0043] Third specific embodiment
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a cooking appliance with a water treatment device. Figure 4 for Figure 3 In the partially enlarged view of Figure A, the bottom of the cavity assembly 1 is provided with a first groove 15, which is located in the water accumulation area 11. The first groove 15 is used to accommodate the portion 231 of the fixing member 13. The fixing member 13 is provided with a limiting portion 131, which is located in the first groove 15. The heating plate 23 is provided with a second groove 232, and the first groove 15 is located in the second groove 232.
[0045] By setting up a second groove 232 that matches the first groove 15, it can play a positioning role during installation. The design of the first groove 15 and the second groove 232 can ensure the accurate positioning of the component during the assembly process and reduce misalignment caused by errors. Through precise groove matching, the parts can be firmly connected in the correct position, thereby improving the overall assembly accuracy; the cooperation between the first groove 15 and the second groove 232 can effectively disperse the load and improve the stability of the structure; the positioning design of the first groove 15 and the second groove 232 makes the assembly process simpler, and the fixing part 13 can be easily inserted into the first groove 15 and the second groove 232, reducing the dependence on complex tools; the positioning matching groove design also makes the equipment more convenient during maintenance and disassembly. Through simple operation, parts can be easily disassembled and replaced, improving the maintenance efficiency of the equipment; at the same time, the limit portion 131 can be flush with the plane of the water accumulation area 11. The first groove 15 and the second groove 232 can be any shape such as circular, square, rectangular, or elliptical.
[0046] Fourth specific embodiment
[0047] The fixing member 13 includes a screw 132 and a nut 133 . The sealing ring 14 is sleeved on the screw 132 . The screw 132 passes through the first groove 15 and the second groove 232 and is screwed together with the nut 133 .
[0048] The heating component 2 is connected to the bottom of the cavity component 1 by screws 132 and nuts 133, which can achieve a stable fixation, facilitate replacement and maintenance, and ensure the safety and reliability of the heating component 2. In addition, this connection method also helps to better conduct heat and improve heating efficiency. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The figure is a schematic diagram of the screw 132. The screw 132 can be a "D"-type screw 132 that matches the "D"-shaped mounting hole 12. The unique design of the "D"-type screw 132 enables it to provide better grip during installation and reduce the possibility of loosening. This structure can effectively disperse pressure, ensuring that the connection point is more stable when subjected to vibration or tension. Compared with the traditional round screw 132, the flat design of the "D"-type screw 132 can prevent the screw 132 from sliding in the installation material. This feature is particularly suitable for occasions that require high-strength connections, such as mechanical equipment or structural components, to ensure the reliability and safety of the connection. The design of the "D"-type screw 132 makes it more convenient to install and remove. The operation can be easily completed with simple tools, reducing working hours and labor costs. Due to the appearance design of the "D"-type screw 132, it is usually more visually beautiful and can improve the overall appearance quality of the product.
[0049] Fifth specific embodiment
[0050] The cooking utensil further comprises a steam outlet 4 located on the side of the cavity assembly 1, which is used to discharge the steam evaporated in the cavity assembly 1.
[0051] The steam outlet 4 of the cooking utensil can effectively adjust the humidity during cooking. In the steam cooking process, appropriate amount of steam can maintain the moisture and taste of food, avoiding dryness. However, too much steam may cause the surface of food to be too wet, affecting the color and crispness. The setting of the steam outlet 4 can help to discharge the excess steam in time and maintain the ideal cooking environment; in the long-term steam cooking process, the accumulation of steam may cause water droplets to appear inside the oven, affecting the cooking effect and food hygiene. The steam outlet 4 can effectively discharge excess steam, prevent water droplets from falling on food, keep the surface of food dry, and ensure that the appearance and taste of food can reach the best state; through reasonable steam discharge design, the cooking utensil can quickly realize the adjustment of temperature and humidity. This rapid adjustment not only improves the cooking efficiency, but also shortens the overall cooking time, so that food can be completed in a shorter time, which is suitable for the modern fast-paced lifestyle; appropriate steam discharge can help the food surface to form better color and taste, especially in the cooking method combining baking and steaming, the outer layer of food can form an ideal crisp skin, while the inside remains moist, making the overall taste more rich; during cooking, especially during high-temperature baking, some odors and smoke may be produced. The steam outlet 4 can effectively discharge these gases, improve the air quality inside the oven, reduce the impact on the kitchen environment, and keep the cooking space fresh; setting the steam outlet 4 can also improve the safety of the cooking utensil. Excessive accumulation of steam may cause the internal temperature of the oven to rise, and even cause failure. The steam discharge design can effectively prevent this from happening, ensuring the safe operation of the cooking utensil.
[0052] The above is only an optional embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application.
