The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the utility model, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0034] As Figures 1-5As shown, the embodiment provides a steam-water separation device for a cooking device, which includes a separator 1. The separator 1 includes a separation tube 11 and a separation plate 12 arranged in the separation tube 11, the separation plate 12 is provided with sieve holes 121, steam flows into one end of the separation tube 11, passes through the sieve holes on the separation plate 12 and flows out from the other end of the separation tube 11, and the separation plate 12 is used to separate water in the steam. The separation plate 12 divides the separation tube 11 into one end and the other end, the gas inlet side 111 is located at one end of the separation tube, and the gas outlet side 112 is located at the other end of the separation tube. When the steam of the steam generator 100 enters the separation tube 11, the steam enters from one end of the separation tube 11, passes through the air holes 121 of the separation plate 12, and then flows out from the other end of the separation tube 11, and then enters the inner container of the cooking device. The steam passes through the separation plate 12 through the sieve holes 121 of the separation plate 12, and in this process, the separation plate 12 can intercept water droplets to make the steam flowing out from the other end of the separation tube 11 more dry. Reduce the generation of water accumulation, thereby reducing the influence on the nutrition and taste of food, improve the use effect of the cooking device, and bring better life experience to the user.

[0035] Specifically, one end of the separation tube 11 is the steam inlet side 111; the other end of the separation tube 11 is the steam outlet side 112.

[0036] Optionally, the axial direction of the sieve hole 121 and the axial direction of the separation tube 11 form a preset included angle a, a≤25°. In this embodiment, this setting can reduce the resistance of the separation plate 12 to the steam and improve the passing rate of the steam. Specifically, the preset included angle a is 0°, assuming that the separation plate 12 is a flat plate and perpendicular to the axis of the separation tube 11, at this time, if the diameter r of the sieve hole 121 is 0.8mm, the single steam passing area is 0.5mm 2 , the total number of sieve holes 121 is 97, and the total area is 48.7mm 2 ; and the design cost scheme is a conical structure, the sieve hole 121 changes from a circular shape to an elliptical shape, the single steam passing area of the sieve hole 121 is 1.34mm 2 , the total number of elliptical holes is 96 plus one circular hole, and the total steam passing area is 129.1mm 2 , which is 2.65 times that of the ordinary flat plate structure, so it is more convenient for steam to pass through.

[0037] Optionally, the axial direction of the sieve hole 121 and the separation plate 12 form a preset included angle b, b>25°. In this embodiment, the purpose of this setting is to accelerate the flow of water droplets attached to the separation plate 12, so that they flow to the separation tube 11, thereby avoiding that the water droplets block the sieve hole 121 or flow to the other end of the separation tube 11 through the sieve hole 121. The value of b can be one of 26°, 27°, 30°, 35° and 40°.

[0038] Optionally, the conical angle of the separation plate 12 is c, and c>25°. In the embodiment, the separation plate can be conical or circular-truncated-cone-shaped, which increases the contact area with the steam, and thus can more efficiently intercept the water droplets. In other embodiments, the separation plate 12 is arranged in a spherical surface.

[0039] Optionally, along the axial direction of the separation tube 11, the separation plate 12 is arranged in a groove in communication with the sieve holes 121, and the opening of the groove faces the other end of the separation tube 11. In the embodiment, taking the example that the separation plate 12 is arranged in a conical shape, the groove of the conical separation plate 12 faces the other end of the separation tube 11, and the tip of the conical separation plate 12 faces the one end of the separation tube 11. This arrangement can reduce the disturbance to the steam, and thus reduce the resistance of the separation plate 12 to the steam in the separation tube 11.

[0040] Optionally, the steam-water separation device for the cooking device further comprises an adapter elbow 2, one end of the adapter elbow 2 is used to communicate with the steam outlet of the steam generator 100, and the other end of the adapter elbow 2 communicates with one end of the separation tube 11. In the embodiment, due to the limited installation space inside the cooking device, in order to reduce the overall volume of the cooking device, the pipeline connected from the steam outlet of the steam generator 100 needs to be bent to meet the volume requirement of the cooking device, and thus the steam outlet of the steam generator 100 is communicated with the separation tube 11 through the adapter elbow 2.

[0041] Optionally, the steam outlet of the steam generator 100 is arranged upward; the adapter elbow 2 comprises a first pipe 21 and a second pipe 22, one end of the first pipe 21 is blocked, the other end of the first pipe 21 communicates with the steam outlet, the peripheral wall of the first pipe 21 is provided with a connecting hole 211, one end of the second pipe 22 is connected with the peripheral wall of the first pipe 21 and communicates with the connecting hole 211, the other end of the second pipe 22 communicates with one end of the separation tube 11, and one end of the first pipe 21 is arranged in a spaced manner with the connecting hole 211. In the embodiment, the steam outlet of the steam generator 100 is usually arranged at the top of the steam generator 100, and thus the steam rises upward from the steam outlet. Since one end of the first pipe 21 is arranged in a spaced manner with the connecting hole 211, the steam does not directly enter the second pipe 22 through the connecting hole 211, but first floats to the area between the blocked end of the first pipe 21 and the connecting hole 211, and then descends into the second pipe 22. In this process, the water droplets in the steam adhere to the pipe wall between the blocked end of the first pipe 21 and the connecting hole 211, and thus reflow into the steam generator 100. This arrangement can block the water droplets in the steam.

[0042] Optionally, the included angle of the adapter elbow 2 is a preset value d, d > 90°. In the embodiment, the purpose of the setting is to make the separation pipe 11 be arranged obliquely, which is beneficial to the small water droplets blocked by the separation plate 12 to flow back to the steam generator 100 for secondary heating, and also avoids the accumulation of condensed water in the separation pipe 11. Specifically, the value of d can be one of 92°, 93°, 94°, 96°, 98° and 100°, and the specific value also needs to consider the space in the cooking equipment.

[0043] Optionally, the steam-water separation device for the cooking equipment further comprises a steam pipe 3, one end of the steam pipe 3 being in communication with the other end of the separation pipe 11, and the steam pipe 3 being a flexible pipe. In the embodiment, due to the small installation space inside the cooking equipment, the steam inlet of the inner container and the other end of the separation pipe 11 cannot be coaxially opposite. In order to facilitate the communication between the steam inlet of the inner container and the other end of the separation pipe 11, the steam pipe 3 is a flexible pipe. In other embodiments, the steam pipe 3 can also be a bellows.

[0044] Optionally, the separator 1 further comprises a limiting protrusion 113, the limiting protrusion 113 being protruded on the outer peripheral wall of the separation pipe 11. In the embodiment, one end and the other end of the separation pipe 11 are respectively inserted into the adapter elbow 2 and the steam pipe 3, and the adapter elbow 2 and the steam pipe 3 are respectively in abutment with the limiting protrusion 113. Since the steam gives the separation plate 12 a pushing force when the steam passes through the separation plate 12, the separation pipe 11 moves in the direction of extending into the steam pipe 3, at this time, the steam pipe 3 is in abutment with the limiting protrusion 113, and the limiting protrusion 113 can prevent the separation pipe 11 from continuing to extend into the steam pipe 3.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 113 is a ring structure, the limiting protrusion 113 is arranged around the axial direction of the separation pipe 11 and located at the intersection of the one end and the other end

[0046] The embodiment also provides a cooking equipment, which comprises a steam generator 100, an inner container and the steam-water separation device for the cooking equipment in the above-mentioned scheme, the steam outlet of the steam generator 100 is in communication with one end of the adapter elbow 2, the other end of the adapter elbow 2 is in communication with one end of the separation pipe 11, the other end of the separation pipe 11 is in communication with one end of the steam pipe 3, and the other end of the steam pipe 3 is used to be in communication with the inner container. In the embodiment, the steam generated by the steam generator 100 passes through the adapter elbow 2, the separator 1 and the steam pipe 3 in sequence, and finally enters the inner container. Optionally, the cooking equipment can be one of an electric steamer, a steam-bake integrated machine and a micro steam-bake integrated machine.
