In this way, when there is accumulated water in the water containing groove 302 of the steam generation disc 3 or the heating element 31 needs to be repaired, the steam generation disc 3 can be conveniently taken out from the cooking cavity 110 for cleaning treatment or repair, thereby reducing the difficulty of accumulated water treatment and heating element 31 fault repair. The connecting contact 32 contacts the conductive structure 2 when the steam generation disc 3 is placed on the support structure, so that the conductive structure 2 can supply power to the heating element 31 in the steam generation disc 3.

[0032] The box body 1 in the embodiment includes an outer box 10 and an inner container 11 arranged in the outer box 10, and the inner container 11 forms the cooking cavity 110. It is easy to understand that the box body 1 is arranged on the openable and closable box door 100, and when the cooking appliance provided by the embodiment is used, the steam generation disc 3 can be taken out relative to the support structure in the cooking cavity 110 after the box door 100 is opened.

The connecting contact 32 is in contact with the second conductive sheet 20 when the steam generation disc 3 is placed on the support structure, and the connecting contact 32 can push the conductive piece 21 to move to contact the second conductive sheet 20 when the water tank 302 contains water of a certain weight. When the conductive structure 2 includes the second conductive sheet 20, the conductive piece 21 and the elastic piece 22, the power supply of the heating element 31 can be controlled by the amount of water added to the water tank 302. At the same time, when the amount of water in the water tank 302 decreases to a certain extent or the steam generation disc 3 is removed, the elastic piece 22 can be used to drive the conductive piece 21 to separate from the second conductive sheet 20 to control the power-off of the heating element 31.

In this way, the arrangement of the conductive structure 2 is facilitated, and the power-on and power-off of the heating element 31 can be controlled by an external circuit in this scheme. It is easy to understand that the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet 20 are both metal sheet-shaped contacts, which are described as the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet 20 for easy understanding.
