[0064] In some embodiments, steam outlet 231 is connected to inlet end 232 of steam flow path, and outlet end 233 of steam flow path is lower than steam outlet 231.

[0065] Specifically, the steam outlet 231 is simultaneously connected to the vaporization chamber 21 and the steam flow path 23, so that the steam generated in the vaporization chamber 21 can enter the steam flow path 23 from the vaporization chamber 21 through the steam outlet 231. The steam flow path 23 has an inlet end 232 and an outlet end 233. The steam outlet 231 is connected to the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path, and the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path is connected to the cooking chamber 11, so that the steam in the vaporization chamber 21 can flow from the steam outlet 231 to the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path, that is, enter the steam flow path 23, and then flow along the steam flow path 23 to the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path, and then enter the cooking chamber 11 to improve the taste of the food.

[0066] And, as Figures 3-7 As shown, the steam outlet 231 is located in the upper region of the vaporization chamber 21, which facilitates the entry of steam in the vaporization chamber 21 into the steam flow path 23. The cooking chamber 11 is located below the vaporization chamber 21, and the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path is constructed to be lower than the steam outlet 231, that is, the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path is lower than the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path. This facilitates the connection of the inlet end 232 and the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path to the vaporization chamber 21 and the cooking chamber 11, respectively, so that the steam in the vaporization chamber 21 can be introduced into the cooking chamber 11 through the steam flow path 23 to improve the taste of the food.

[0067] In some embodiments, the drain pipe 3 extends vertically, and the lower end of the drain pipe 3 is connected to the bottom of the vaporization chamber 21, while the upper end of the drain pipe 3 is connected to the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path.

[0068] Specifically, the drain pipe 3 is used to discharge the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21. The drain pipe 3 extends vertically, with its lower end connected to the vaporization chamber 21. That is, the lower end of the drain pipe 3 is the inlet end 31 of the drain pipe, and the upper end of the drain pipe 3 is the outlet end 32 of the drain pipe. Connecting the lower end of the drain pipe 3 to the bottom of the vaporization chamber 21 facilitates the complete drainage of the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21. Connecting the upper end of the drain pipe 3 to the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path connects the drain pipe 3 to the steam flow path 23, allowing the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21 to enter the steam flow path 23 through the drain pipe 3. The sewage is then discharged using the steam flow path 23, and steam and sewage can share the steam flow path 23, which reduces the length of the pipeline and the space occupied.

[0069] Among them, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path is higher than the lower end of the drain pipe 3 and the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path, and the lower end of the drain pipe 3 is higher than the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path. This creates a height difference between the lower end of the drain pipe 3 and the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path, allowing the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21 to flow from the lower end of the drain pipe 3 to the upper end of the drain pipe 3, i.e., to the inlet end 232 of the steam flow path. It can then flow along the steam flow path 23 to the outlet end 233 of the steam flow path, thus achieving unidirectional drainage. Furthermore, the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21 can be continuously discharged through the siphon principle.

[0070] And, it should be noted that, such as Figure 3 As shown, the gap between the lower end of the drain pipe 3 and the bottom wall of the vaporization chamber 21 is h, and satisfies: 1mm≤h≤20mm. h can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. By setting the above values, the lower end of the drain pipe 3 will not contact the inner bottom wall of the vaporization chamber 21, allowing water in the vaporization chamber 21 to flow into the drain pipe 3 more easily through the gap, thus improving the drainage efficiency of the drain pipe 3. The gap cannot be set too large, otherwise more water in the vaporization chamber 21 will not be able to drain, affecting the drainage volume of the vaporization chamber 21. The gap cannot be set too small, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of water suction.

This enables the steam generator 2 to generate steam, and the steam can be delivered to the cooking chamber 11 through the steam flow path 23. Its arrangement is simple and its structure is compact.

[0073] And, when cleaning the scale in the vaporization cavity 21, the two communication ports can be closed at the same time, the water containing cleaning agent in the vaporization cavity 21 is heated by the first heating member 25 to quickly dissolve the scale, and steam can be generated in the vaporization cavity 21 to generate a pressure difference at both ends of the drain pipe 3, and then the sewage in the vaporization cavity 21 can be discharged by the siphon principle.

[0074] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 5 The steam generation member 2 is provided with a fuse 26 for protecting the circuit of the steam generation member 2 from overheating, thereby protecting the safety of the cooking device 100, and the steam generation member 2 is provided with a temperature sensor 27 for monitoring the temperature inside the steam generation member 2 to ensure that it always works within a safe temperature range.

[0078] In some embodiments, the water inlet 221 has an inlet side 2211 and an outlet side 2212, the inlet side 2211 is located below the outlet side 2212, and the inlet side 2211 is in communication with the water inflow path 22, and the outlet side 2212 is in communication with the vaporization cavity 21.

[0079] Specifically, the inlet side 2211 is in communication with the water inflow path 22, the outlet side 2212 is in communication with the vaporization cavity 21, and the water inlet 221 is used to connect the water inflow path 22 and the vaporization cavity 21, so that the water in the water inflow path 22 can enter the water inlet 221 from the inlet side 2211, flow to the outlet side 2212 through the water inlet 221, and enter the vaporization cavity 21, and the inlet side 2211 is located below the outlet side 2212, so that when the water in the vaporization cavity 21 is burned out, the water in the water inlet 221 can still maintain a certain liquid level to form a water seal, preventing the steam in the vaporization cavity 21 from flowing to the water inflow path 22 through the water inlet 221, thereby ensuring the reliability of the steam entering the cooking cavity 11 from the steam flow path 23, and the outlet side 2212 can be arranged towards the elastic sealing member 43, so that the elastic sealing member 43 can press against the water inlet 221 from the outlet side 2212 when moving downward, so as to facilitate the closure of the water inlet 221.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further comprises a water tank assembly 6 adapted to supply water to the water inflow path 22.

[0081] Specifically, the water tank assembly 6 is used to store water, as shown in Figures 2-3 and Figures 5-7 The water tank assembly 6 is connected to the water inlet 24 of the water inflow path 22, so that after the water tank assembly 6 is connected to the device body 1, the water tank assembly 6 is in communication with the water inflow path 22 through the water inlet 24 to supply water to the water inflow path 22, and the water inflow path 22 is in communication with the vaporization cavity 21 through the water inlet 221, so that the water in the water inflow path 22 can enter the vaporization cavity 21 from the water inflow path 22 through the water inlet 221, and the water supply to the vaporization cavity 21 can be realized, and the water tank assembly 6 and the device body 1 can be detachably connected, so that after the water in the water tank assembly 6 is used up, the water tank assembly 6 can be detached from the device body 1 to add water to the water tank assembly 6, or a water inlet can be provided on the water tank assembly 6, so that the water inlet can be directly opened to add water without detaching the water tank assembly 6, wherein the water tank assembly 6 and the device body 1 can be detachably connected through bolts or other connectors, and the two can also be connected through clamping or other means, and the connection method is simple and convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0082] Furthermore, when cleaning the scale in the vaporization chamber 21, clean water and cleaning agent can be added to the water tank assembly 6. The water containing the cleaning agent can enter the vaporization chamber 21 along the water inlet flow path 22. Then, by operating the push rod section 421, the closing rod section 41 can simultaneously close the two connecting holes. The detection device 5 will detect that the connecting control component 4 is in the closed connecting position. At this time, the first heating component 25 can heat the vaporization chamber 21 to quickly dissolve the scale, and can generate steam in the vaporization chamber 21 to create a pressure difference at both ends of the drain pipe 3, thereby discharging the sewage in the vaporization chamber 21.
