[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cooking device, which includes a body, a steam cooking module, and a controller. The body includes an inner liner 200 with an open front side. The steam cooking module supplies hot steam to the inner liner 200 to cook the food inside. The controller is communicatively connected to the steam cooking module to control its operation. The cooking device can be, but is not limited to, an electric steam oven, a steam oven, or a microwave-steam-oven combination appliance with a steam cooking function.

[0037] To condense and cool the steam discharged by the inner container 200, in the embodiment, the cooking device further comprises a condensing assembly 100, the condensing assembly 100 comprising a condensing pipe 1 and a water collecting box 2, the air inlet end of the condensing pipe 1 being used to pass in steam, i.e., the air inlet end is in communication with the inner cavity of the inner container 200, and the condensing pipe 1 extends downward from the air inlet end to the air outlet end; the water collecting box 2 has a water collecting cavity 21, and the upper portion of the water collecting box 2 is provided with a gas overflow port 25 in communication with the water collecting cavity 21, and the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 is inserted into the water collecting cavity 21 and is lower than a preset water drainage level, and the preset water drainage level is lower than the gas overflow port 25.

[0038] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned preset water drainage level refers to that when the liquid level of the condensed water in the water collecting cavity 21 reaches or is higher than the preset water drainage level, at least the water higher than the level in the water collecting cavity 21 can be drained.

[0039] The condensing assembly 100 provided in the embodiment is characterized in that the air outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 is inserted into the inside of the water collecting cavity 21 and is lower than the preset water drainage level, so that when the condensing pipe 1 condenses steam, the condensed water and the steam that is not condensed by the condensing pipe 1 are both introduced into the condensed water in the water collecting cavity 21, so that the steam that is not completely condensed is at least partially condensed by contacting with the condensed water, thereby improving the condensing effect of the condensing assembly 100 on the steam and reducing the condensing cost; by providing the gas overflow port 25 on the upper portion of the water collecting box 2, the gas flowing out of the liquid level of the condensed water can be drained from the gas overflow port 25, thereby avoiding the risk of excessive gas pressure in the water collecting box 2.

[0040] The cooking device provided in the embodiment can improve the condensing effect by using the above-mentioned condensing assembly 100, thereby improving the user experience of the cooking device.

[0041] In the embodiment, the water collecting cavity 21 is provided with a partition component 22, the partition component 22 divides the water collecting cavity 21 into a water collecting inner cavity 211 and a water collecting outer cavity 212 arranged around the water collecting inner cavity 211, the upper end of the partition component 22 is lower than the upper cavity wall of the water collecting cavity 21, the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 is inserted into the water collecting inner cavity 211 and is lower than the upper end of the partition component 22, the bottom of the water collecting box 2 is provided with a water drainage port 23 in communication with the water collecting outer cavity 212, and the upper end of the water collecting inner cavity 211 forms a preset water drainage level corresponding to the liquid level.

[0042] When the hot steam enters the condensing pipe 1 and is condensed into condensed water, the condensed water first flows into the water collecting inner cavity 211, and when the liquid level in the water collecting inner cavity 211 is higher than the upper end of the partition component 22, the condensed water in the water collecting inner cavity 211 enters the water collecting outer cavity 212 through the gap between the partition component 22 and the upper side cavity wall of the water collecting cavity 21, and the condensed water entering the water collecting outer cavity 212 is discharged outward through the drain port 23. During the process of discharging the water collecting outer cavity 212, the liquid level in the water collecting inner cavity 211 is always equal to the preset drain liquid level, that is, the lower end of the condensing pipe 1 is always immersed in the condensed water, which is beneficial to guarantee the immersion effect of the lower end of the condensing pipe 1 in the water collecting inner cavity 211.

[0043] In the embodiment, the distance between the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 and the cavity bottom of the water collecting cavity 21 is d1, d1≤40mm, preferably d1≤20mm, so that the condensing pipe 1 is arranged closer to the cavity bottom of the water collecting cavity 21, thereby reducing the amount of water required to immerse the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1, and facilitating the immersion of the condensing pipe 1 in the condensed water.

[0044] The distance between the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 and the preset drain liquid level is d2, d2≥10mm, preferably d2≥20mm, so as to ensure that the water outlet end of the condensing pipe 1 is immersed to a certain depth.
