As the core equipment of modern kitchen, integrated cooker combines multiple cooking functions, and gradually becomes the first choice of many families due to its space-saving and convenient operation. As a key functional module of integrated cooker, steam oven can meet people's diversified cooking needs, whether it is steaming fish, steaming buns, or baking cakes, roasting meat, it can easily cope with. However, the existing steam oven exposes a thorny problem in daily use, that is, due to the direct use of untreated tap water, the water contains a variety of mineral components such as calcium and magnesium, and the water hardness is high. After a long time of frequent steaming and baking operation, these minerals will gradually deposit on the inner wall of the steam generator, inner tank and related pipeline in the steam oven, forming difficult-to-remove scale. On the one hand, the accumulation of scale will reduce the heat transfer efficiency, making the heating performance of the steam oven greatly discounted, not only prolonging the cooking time, but also possibly causing uneven heating of food, affecting the cooking effect; on the other hand, the thick scale provides a breeding ground for bacteria, which is easy to pollute the cooking environment, poses a potential threat to the health of the user, and also greatly increases the difficulty and cost of user cleaning and maintenance. SUMMARY

When the water softener is located on the upper part of the rear side of the inner container, it is beneficial to increase the distance from the heat source; the water softener usually contains softening resin, which is easy to lose its softening effect or undergo chemical changes in a high-temperature environment, affecting the water softening performance. Arranging the water softener on the upper part of the rear side of the inner container can effectively increase the distance between the water softener and the heat source (such as the steam generator, heating element, etc.), thereby avoiding direct exposure of the softener to the high-temperature area, prolonging the service life of the water softener and its components, improving the working stability of the equipment, prolonging the service life and ensuring the water softening effect.

In this example, according to the layout needs of the integrated cooker as a whole, the components arranged on the right side of the steaming oven can be adjusted to the left side, and the components on the left side can also be adjusted to the right side. Water softener 7 is seated on the upper part of the outer side of inner container 3, making full use of space and facilitating maintenance.

[0031] In order to realize the softening of water, the water softener 7 comprises an up-down through shell 701, the upper end and lower end of the shell 701 are respectively provided with an upper end cover 702 and a lower end cover 703, the upper end cover 702 is provided with a vertical water inlet, the lower end cover 703 is provided with a vertical water outlet, the upper end cover 702 and the shell 701 and the lower end cover 703 and the shell 701 are sealed by a sealing ring, the upper and lower ends of the shell 701 are provided with filter screens 704, and the internal space of the shell 701 between the two filter screens 704 is a softening cavity filled with softening resin 705. The up-down through shell 701 is matched with the upper end cover 702 and the lower end cover 703, the water inlet and the water outlet are vertically arranged, which not only conforms to the natural flow of water, but also is convenient for installation and maintenance. The sealing ring seals to prevent water leakage and ensure stable operation of the softening process. The filter screen 704 effectively filters impurities to avoid affecting the performance of the resin. The filled softening resin 705 is the core medium for water softening, which can efficiently adsorb calcium and magnesium ions in water, significantly reduce water hardness and reduce scale formation.

[0032] In order to realize quick connection and assembly, the upper end cover 702 and the shell 701 and the lower end cover 703 and the shell 701 are each connected and fixed by 4 evenly distributed buckles. Compared with the traditional connection method, the buckle connection and fixation has the advantages of simple and quick operation, without the need for complex tools, which can significantly save time and labor cost and improve the maintainability of the equipment when installing or disassembling the water softener 7 for maintenance, resin replacement and other operations.

[0033] In order to realize better steam input effect, the steam outlet of the steam generator 5 is connected to a steam pipeline which is divided into two parts, respectively connected to the middle front part and the upper rear part of the right side wall of the inner container 3. The multi-point and three-dimensional steam input method can make the steam diffuse uniformly in the entire inner container 3 space in a short time, so that the food can be fully contacted with the steam, avoiding local overheating or underheating, and significantly improving the quality and taste of steamed food.

[0034] In order to exhaust the waste gas generated during the operation of the steaming oven, the right lower part of the inner container 3 is provided with a waste gas pipe 13 which extends upward and rearward and is connected to the smoke exhaust channel of the integrated stove. The waste gas generated during the operation of the steaming oven can be quickly exhausted, effectively preventing the accumulation of waste gas in the inner container 3 and the kitchen space, optimizing the air environment of the kitchen, avoiding the erosion of the internal parts of the inner container 3, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and improving the overall use experience of the kitchen.

[0035] In order to realize the omnibearing and multi-angle heat radiation and heat convection, the baking assembly is provided with two sets, which are respectively arranged on the left side and the top surface outside the inner container 3.

The double-side heating and air circulation can realize the omnibearing and multi-angle heat radiation and heat convection when baking food, so that the food is heated extremely uniformly, the color is golden yellow, the outside is crisp and the inside is tender, the user's demand for high-quality baked food is met, and the efficiency and stability of the baking function are improved.

[0036] During operation, the water pump 6 draws water in the water tank 8 and downwardly delivers the water to the water softener 7. The softened water in the water softener 7 flows into the lower steam generator 5. The steam generator 5 divides the generated steam into two parts through the steam pipeline and delivers the steam to different positions of the inner container 3 to provide pure steam for the inner container 3. The problem of scale formation in the steam generator 5 and the steaming oven due to hard water is solved from the source, the service life of the steam generator 5 and the steaming oven is prolonged, and the cooking quality is ensured.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Different from the above examples, as shown in Figure 4 , 5As shown, in order to facilitate the inner container 3 to discharge condensed water and avoid discharging steam, a downward recessed sink 301 is arranged in the middle of the bottom of the inner container 3, a vertical water leakage hole is arranged in the middle of the sink 301, a water leakage assembly is arranged at the water leakage hole, the water leakage assembly includes a first blocking piece 9 and a second blocking piece 10, the second blocking piece 10 passes through the water leakage hole from top to bottom and is tightly fitted with the water leakage hole, the upper end of the second blocking piece 10 is provided with a blocking tail 1001, the outer periphery of the blocking tail 1001 is pressed downward on the sink 301, and a sealing ring is arranged between the blocking tail 1001 and the sink 301, the middle of the second blocking piece 10 is axially provided with a vertical through hole 1002, the first blocking piece 9 includes a blocking cap 901 and a blocking screw head 902 arranged below the middle of the blocking cap 901, the blocking screw head 902 passes into the vertical through hole 1002 of the second blocking piece 10 from top to bottom and is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the vertical through hole 1002, the blocking cap 901 covers the outer periphery of the blocking tail 1001 of the second blocking piece 10, the lower end of the outer periphery of the blocking cap 901 is pressed on the sink 301, and the outer periphery of the blocking cap 901 and the side wall of the sink 301 have a gap for water leakage, the outer periphery of the blocking cap 901 is provided with two symmetrically arranged water leakage groove holes 903 which pass through laterally, the upper end position of the water leakage groove hole 903 is lower than the upper end surface of the blocking tail 1001 of the second blocking piece 10, the upper end surface of the blocking tail 1001 of the second blocking piece 10 is lower than the upper opening height position of the sink 301, the outer periphery and the inner periphery of the blocking tail 1001 of the second blocking piece 10 are both cut at an angle, a neck portion 904 with a diameter smaller than the outer thread bottom diameter of the blocking screw head 902 is arranged between the blocking screw head 902 and the blocking cap 901, and the outer periphery of the second blocking piece 10 is provided with a connecting thread for connecting with a drain pipe 12. The structure can conveniently realize that the condensed water in the inner container 3 enters the sink 301 from the water leakage groove hole 903, then enters the internal space of the blocking cap 901 upward, and then is discharged downward from the vertical through hole 1002 of the second blocking piece 10 along the outer periphery of the neck portion 904 of the first blocking piece 9, enters the rotating screw thread channel of the blocking screw head 902, and then is discharged downward from the vertical through hole 1002 of the second blocking piece 10, and enters the drain pipe 12. Since the water leakage groove hole 903 is not higher than the upper end of the vertical through hole 1002 of the second blocking piece 10, only the condensed water at the sink 301 higher than the upper end of the vertical through hole 1002 can overflow and be discharged from the vertical through hole 1002, and since there is accumulated water not lower than the upper end of the water leakage groove hole 903, the steam in the inner container 3 cannot escape from the water leakage groove hole 903.

[0039] In order to make the condensed water of the inner container 3 flow naturally to the sink 301, as shown in Figure 1 、 4 , 5, the bottom of the inner container 3 is provided with a downward inclined surface structure from the outer periphery to the first blocking piece 9 of the sink 301. According to the principle of gravity drainage, the accumulated water at the bottom of the inner container 3 is prompted to flow to the sink 301 and be discharged.

[0040] In order to discharge the residual waste water in the steam generator 5, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the lower end of the steam generator 5 is equipped with a wastewater outlet, which is connected to the drain pipe 12 via a wastewater pipe 15. An electromagnetic switch 16 is installed on the wastewater pipe 15. After the steam oven is used, the residual wastewater inside can be discharged in a timely manner by opening the electromagnetic switch 16, avoiding the decrease in reliability caused by water accumulation inside the steam oven for a long time, ensuring its stable operation, and continuously providing high-quality steam to the steam oven.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Unlike the examples above, in order to dry the residual moisture at the bottom of the inner liner 3, such as... Figure 2 As shown, heating tubes 11 are arranged at the bottom of the inner pot 3. Arranging heating tubes 11 at the bottom of the inner pot 3 not only provides auxiliary heating from the bottom during the steaming process, ensuring that the food is heated evenly and improving the cooking effect, but also allows the heating tubes 11 to quickly dry the bottom of the inner pot 3 after draining, preventing moisture residue from causing rust or bacterial growth, maintaining the inner pot 3 in good working condition, and extending its service life.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] The similarities with Example 1 will not be repeated here; the differences are as follows:

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the water softener 7 includes a barrel-shaped outer shell 706, an outer cover 707 located on the upper part of the barrel-shaped outer shell 706, a filter barrel 708 located inside the barrel-shaped outer shell 706, an inner cover located on the top of the filter barrel 708, and softening resin 705 located inside the filter barrel 708. A gap is provided between the side wall of the filter barrel 708 and the barrel-shaped outer shell 706 to form a water passage 709. The outer cover 707 is provided with an inlet channel 710, an outlet channel 711, and a downward-opening cavity 712. The inlet channel 710 and the outlet channel 711 are arranged horizontally. The outlet channel 711 communicates with the cavity 712, and the inlet channel 710 communicates with the water passage 709. Water enters the water passage 709 through the inlet channel 710, passes through the barrel wall of the filter barrel 708 and enters the filter barrel 708. After passing through the softening resin 705, it passes upward through the inner cover and enters the cavity 712 of the outer cover 707, and finally the softened water is discharged through the outlet channel 711.

[0046] Sealing rings are provided between the outer cover 707 and the barrel-shaped outer shell 706, and between the outer cover 707 and the inner cover, to prevent water leakage. For example, an O-ring 713 is provided between the outer cover 707 and the barrel-shaped outer shell 706, and a silicone gasket 714 is provided between the outer cover 707 and the inner cover to achieve a seal.

[0047] The water inlet channel 710 and the water passing channel 709 are arranged to enable the water to flow smoothly from the water inlet into the water softener 7 and pass through the softening cavity. The gap between the side wall and the shell forms the water passing channel 709, which can avoid excessive resistance of the water flow and improve the uniformity of the water flow, effectively ensuring that each part of the water flow can fully contact the softening resin 705, thereby improving the efficiency of water quality softening. The water enters the cavity 712 from the side, which can not only protect the resin in the water softener from damage, but also ensure that there is always water remaining in the water softener. In this way, the situation that the water softener 7 needs to be waited for when in use due to the unavailability of water in time is avoided, the convenience of using the water softener 7 is improved, and in particular, the inconvenience caused by the recharging of water after the system is left unused for a long time is avoided.

[0048] Example five

[0049] The same as example one will not be repeated, and the difference is that:

[0050] In order to increase the distance between the steam generator 5 and the high temperature area, the steam generator 5 can be arranged on the back of the inner container 3. The water softener usually contains softening resin, which can easily lose its softening effect or change chemically in a high temperature environment, affecting the water softening performance. Arranging the water softener on the upper part of the back of the inner container can effectively increase the distance between the water softener and the heat source (such as steam generator, heating element, etc.), thereby avoiding the direct exposure of the softener to the high temperature area, prolonging the service life of the water softener and its components, and ensuring that the softening effect is always stable.

[0051] Example six

[0052] The same as example one will not be repeated, and the difference is that:

[0053] The steam generator 5 is located in the cavity of the inner container 3, and the steam generator 5 includes a water tray and a heating element. The water tray is located at the bottom of the inner cavity and is used to store water for use by the steam generator 5. When the device needs steam, the water in the water tray is heated and evaporated. The heating element is embedded or immersed in the water tray. The heating element generates heat after being powered on, heats the water in the water tray, and boils the water until it evaporates into steam. The heating element can be a heating rod or the like; the heating rod directly heats the water in the water tray, heats the water to the boiling point, and converts it into steam. The water is heated efficiently and quickly converted into steam, generating a large amount of steam in a short time, avoiding local overheating or overcooling, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of steam generation; and the design of the water tray and the heating rod is relatively simple, easy to manufacture and maintain.

[0054] Example seven

[0055] An integrated cooker includes a machine body and a machine head. The machine body includes a cabinet and a cooktop arranged on the cabinet. The machine head includes an extractor hood. The cabinet is provided with the aforementioned steam oven with a water softener.

[0056] By built-in water softener, the calcium and magnesium ions in water and other hard water components can be effectively removed, preventing the scale phenomenon in the steam generator and pipeline caused by hard water. Scale can cause heating efficiency to decline, and even damage the steam generator and other important components. After softening the water quality, such problems can be reduced, ensuring the long-term normal operation of the equipment from the source, and prolonging the service life. The softened water flows into the steam generator to provide pure steam, which can avoid mineral deposits in hard water and ensure better food taste during cooking, avoid scale affecting the quality of food materials, and improve cooking effect. The water softener is designed on the upper part of the inner container outside, making full use of the space layout, and also facilitating future cleaning and maintenance, which can avoid occupying too much internal space and improve the convenience of maintenance. The water tank is designed on the upper part of the shell, which is convenient for users to add water. The water tank is reasonably positioned, and users do not need to bend over or exert too much effort during use, which is simple and convenient to operate. The convenience of water adding improves the comfort and convenience of use. By softening the water quality, improving the steam quality, reducing scale and prolonging the service life of the equipment, the overall cooking effect and long-term performance of the steamer are improved. During cooking, the stability and quality of the steam are guaranteed, and the cooking effect and taste of the food materials are improved. The steamer with water softener is integrated into the integrated stove, which is reasonably designed and saves kitchen space. The integrated stove combines the cooktop and the steamer together to meet diversified cooking needs, while reducing the number and floor area of kitchen equipment and improving space utilization efficiency.
