Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and more specifically, to a condensation box. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated cooking center integrates various kitchen appliances into one modular design, and the various functional modules can be linked together. The integrated cooking center integrates the gas stove with the steam oven or steam oven. The air outlet of the steam oven or steam oven is connected to the panel of the gas stove. The steam or fumes discharged from the steam oven or steam oven are discharged from the same range hood as the gas stove.

[0003] Patent document CN219479839U discloses a condensate box device, including an air inlet assembly, a water collection box, an overflow prevention structure, and a filter structure. The air inlet assembly includes a receiving cavity and a steam inlet and a steam outlet communicating with the receiving cavity. The water collection box is installed in the receiving cavity to collect condensate formed inside the receiving cavity. The water collection box is provided with a water collection box through hole corresponding to the steam inlet. An air inlet pipe is installed on the outside of the water collection box near the water collection box through hole, and the air inlet pipe is inserted into the steam inlet and communicates with the water collection box through hole and the steam inlet. The overflow prevention structure is connected to the water collection box through hole to guide the condensate in the water collection box through the water collection box through hole and the air inlet pipe to the outside of the water collection box. The filter structure is connected to the overflow prevention structure to filter the condensate.

[0004] In existing integrated cooktops, the air inlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the water collection box. Steam is introduced into the water collection box through the air inlet pipe and then discharged through the steam outlet. As the steam travels from the water collection box to the steam outlet, its temperature continuously decreases. In particular, condensation easily forms on the steam cover. The condensation above the air inlet pipe will enter the air inlet pipe. The backflow of condensation from the air inlet pipe will cause corrosion inside the steam oven or steam oven. The backflow of condensation will also cause uneven temperature distribution inside the steam oven or steam oven, thus affecting the cooking effect of the food.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a condensation box to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0032] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a condensation box includes a water cup 2, an air inlet 24 is provided at the bottom of the water cup 2, a baffle 21 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the water cup 2 along the edge of the air inlet 24 to prevent water stored in the water cup 2 from flowing into the air inlet, and an upper cover plate 4 is provided above the baffle 21.

[0034] Furthermore, it also includes a fixed cup 1 sleeved on the outside of the water cup 2. The bottom plate of the fixed cup 1 is fixedly provided with a first air inlet pipe 11 that penetrates through the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1. The inner cavity 3 of the first air inlet pipe 11 is connected to the air inlet hole 24 and is sealed.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixed cup 1 is a square cylindrical shape with an open top, and a connecting plate 5 is detachably installed on the upper surface of the fixed cup 1, with an air vent 51 opened on the connecting plate 5.

[0036] Furthermore, an annular first sealing groove 12 is formed on the upper surface of the fixed cup 1, and a first sealing ring 6 is provided in the first sealing groove 12.

[0037] Furthermore, an exhaust plate 7 is provided on the upper end face of the connecting plate 5, and a steam hole 71 is opened on the exhaust plate 7 at a position opposite to the air outlet 51.

[0038] Furthermore, a second air inlet pipe 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water cup 2 on the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1. The second air inlet pipe 13 passes through the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1. A second air inlet hole 25 is opened on the left and right sides of the water cup 2 respectively.

[0039] Furthermore, the upper cover plate 4 includes a top plate 41 and a connecting leg 42 fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the top plate 41, and the distance between the top surface of the top plate 41 and the bottom surface of the exhaust plate 7 is a set distance.

[0040] A connecting post 26 is fixedly installed in the middle area 22 on the bottom surface of the water cup 2, corresponding to the position of the connecting leg 42. A connecting hole 27 is opened on the top surface of the connecting post 26, and the connecting leg 42 is inserted into the corresponding connecting hole 27.

[0041] Furthermore, the top plate 41 has an upwardly convex arc shape.

[0042] Furthermore, the two baffles 21 are arranged symmetrically with the axis of the air inlet 24 as the center.

[0043] Furthermore, multiple vertically arranged reinforcing ribs 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cup 1.

[0044] The working principle of the above technical solution:

[0045] The water cup 2 is detachably installed in the middle position inside the fixed cup 1. The bottom plate of the fixed cup 1 is fixedly provided with a first air inlet pipe 11 that passes through the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1. The bottom plate of the water cup 2 is provided with an air inlet hole 24 at the position corresponding to the first air inlet pipe 11. The air inlet hole 24 is connected to the inner cavity 3 of the first air inlet pipe 11 and is sealed. The connection between the air inlet hole 24 and the first air inlet pipe 11 is sealed. The first air inlet pipe 11 is connected to the steam outlet of the steam oven or steam oven.

[0046] A baffle 21 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the water cup 2 along the edge of the air inlet 24 to prevent water stored in the water cup 2 from flowing into the air inlet. A top cover plate 4 is provided above the baffle 21 to cover the middle area of ​​the baffle 21. The height of the baffle is less than the height of the side wall of the water cup.

[0047] baffle 21 can be configured as follows Figure 1 The form shown is connected to the front and rear walls of the water cup on both sides of the air inlet 24. Two baffles 21 divide the inner cavity of the water cup into a middle area 22 and a water storage area 23 located on both sides of the middle area. After entering the middle area 22, the steam enters the upper part of the water storage area 23 through the gap between the upper cover plate 4 and the baffle 21, and is discharged above the gas stove panel through the steam hole 71. It is then sucked away by the range hood of the integrated stove. When the steam is discharged through the exhaust plate 7, the temperature decreases and condensation is generated. The condensation will fall back into the water storage area 23. Since the upper cover plate 4 is set above the middle area 22, it can prevent condensation from entering the middle area, thereby preventing condensation from flowing back into the steam oven or steam oven.

[0048] The baffle 21 can also be configured as a sleeve around the air inlet 24 on the bottom surface inside the water cup 2. The sleeve-shaped baffle 21 inside the water cup 2 forms a water storage area. The upper cover plate 4 is set above the sleeve-shaped baffle 21. The baffle 21 can be configured as a circular or square sleeve. The lower end face of the baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the water cup 2.

[0049] The top surface of the top plate 41 of the top cover plate 4 is at a set distance from the bottom surface of the exhaust plate 7. During the process of steam being discharged below the exhaust plate 7, the temperature of the steam gradually decreases as it is discharged due to the lower temperature above the exhaust plate 7, which will produce condensate. The top plate 41 is at a certain distance from the exhaust plate 7, and the upper and lower surfaces of the top plate 41 are surrounded by high-temperature steam. There is no temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces, so no condensate will be produced on the lower surface of the top plate 41.

[0050] Both the fixed cup 1 and the water cup 2 are square cylindrical shapes with open tops. The width of the fixed cup 1 is greater than the width of the water cup 2. The water cup 2 is placed inside the fixed cup 1, with cavities left on the left and right sides of the water cup 2. A second air inlet pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1 at a position corresponding to the cavity. The second air inlet pipe 13 passes through the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the fixed cup 1. A second air inlet hole 25 is opened on the left and right sides of the water cup 2. The second air inlet hole 25 is also connected to the steam outlet of the steam oven or steam oven. After the steam enters the cavity, it enters the water cup 2 through the second air inlet hole 25 on the left and right sides of the water cup 2, and then exits from the steam hole 71.

[0051] Wing plates 28 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end face of water cup 2. The wing plates 28 are located above the cavities on the left and right sides of water cup 2 inside the fixed cup 1. The upper end face of water cup 2 and wing plates 28 are sealed to the opening at the top of the fixed cup. The condensed water, like the first air inlet, cannot enter the second air inlet, thus preventing the condensed water from flowing back.

[0052] The condensate box is fixedly connected to the gas stove panel via the connecting plate 5, and the fixing cup 1 is installed in the mounting hole on the gas stove panel. A connecting groove 52 is opened on the upper surface of the connecting plate 5, and the exhaust plate 7 is snapped into the connecting groove 52.

[0053] The connecting plate 5 is detachably connected to the fixed cup 1, and screw connection can be selected.

[0054] The top plate 41 of the top cover plate 4 is an upwardly convex arc shape, and its vertical projection can cover the entire middle area 22. The condensate dripping on the upper surface of the top plate 41 can flow along the arc surface into the water storage area 23. Since the top plate 41 is completely surrounded by steam, no condensate will be generated on the lower surface. Even if condensate is generated, due to the upwardly convex arc shape of the top plate, the condensate will slide along the arc to both sides of the top plate 41 and drip into the water storage area 23. A hydrophobic coating can also be applied to the lower surface of the top plate 41 to reduce the possibility of condensate being generated on the lower surface of the top plate 41.

[0055] Multiple vertically arranged reinforcing ribs 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cup 1 to increase the overall strength of the fixed cup.

[0056] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0057] The condensate box described in this utility model has an upper cover plate above the middle area inside the water cup. This prevents the condensate generated by the steam at the outlet from flowing back into the first air inlet pipe through the middle area, and prevents the condensate from flowing back into the steam oven or steam oven, causing corrosion and uneven temperature distribution inside the steam oven or steam oven.
