[0026] In this embodiment, the top of the steamer 11 is evenly provided with a plurality of air vents 110, each of which is connected to a steam hole. The evenly spaced air vents 110 are used to discharge water vapor, which comes into uniform contact with the food being kept warm, thereby keeping the food placed in the heat preservation box 12 warm and ensuring that the food is heated evenly.
[0027] In this embodiment, a steam distribution pipe 3 is installed above the steam oven 11, and multiple steam distribution holes 31 are evenly arranged on the steam distribution pipe 3. The steam distribution holes 31 are connected to the steam outlet 110. Water vapor enters the steam distribution pipe 3 through the steam generation chamber 14 and is discharged through the steam outlet 110, thereby keeping the food placed in the heat preservation box 12 warm.
[0028] In this embodiment, the multi-functional steam cabinet also includes a steam generation chamber 14 installed in the steam box 11. The steam generation chamber 14 is equipped with a steam generator 8, an electrical box 4, a water level detection box 9, and a water tank 5. The water level detection box 9 and the water tank 5 are connected. The water level detection box 9 is equipped with a water level detection sensor (not shown in the figure). The water tank 5 includes a heating chamber 51 and a steam dry-burning chamber 52. The heating chamber 51 and the steam dry-burning chamber 52 are connected. The steam generator 8 is installed in the heating chamber 51. The electrical box 4 is electrically connected to the steam generator 8 and the water level detection sensor.
[0029] In this embodiment, a dry-burning heating tube 53 is provided in the steam dry-burning chamber 52, and the dry-burning heating tube 53 is electrically connected to the electrical box 4.
[0030] Specifically, the steam generator 8 boils the water in the heating chamber 51, and then the steam generated flows through the water heating tube to the upper space, where a steam dry-burning chamber 52 is located. The steam is then reheated by the dry-burning heating tube, raising the 100℃ steam to approximately 125℃ under normal pressure. This generates superheated steam at normal pressure, allowing for faster steaming of food. The high temperature locks in the food's moisture, achieving safe, high-temperature steam cooking at normal pressure. It also better preserves the food in the insulation box 12, ensuring food safety and compliance with food safety regulations. By placing the water level detection box 9 outside and connecting it to the water tank 5, the water level can be monitored without opening the tank, preventing dry burning and damage to the equipment. The water level detection box 9 is transparent, and the water level sensor can issue a real-time alarm when the water level is too low.
[0031] In this embodiment, a steam pipe 6 for supplying water vapor is provided on the inner wall of the steam chamber 11. The steam pipe 6 is connected to the steam dry burning chamber 52. A plurality of air inlet solenoid valves 61 are evenly arranged on the steam pipe 6, and each air inlet solenoid valve 61 is connected to the air distribution pipe 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the multi-functional steamer also includes a drainage component 7, which is located below the steam chamber 11. The drainage component 7 includes a drain valve 71 and a drain pipe 72. The drain valve 71 is connected to the drain pipe 72 through a steam outlet pipe 73, and the drain pipe 72 is connected to the steam distribution pipe 3. The purpose of setting up the drainage component 7 is to prevent excessive water accumulation during use from affecting the performance, and at the same time to use the excess water vapor generated when the steam chamber 11 is cooking to keep the food placed in the heat preservation box 12 warm.
[0033] In this embodiment, a sealing ring (not shown) is provided between the warming drawer and the cabinet door 13, and the sealing ring is set on the cabinet door 13. When in use, the cabinet door 13 presses down on the sealing ring. The purpose of setting the sealing ring is to enhance its sealing performance and prevent water vapor from escaping and affecting the cooking effect of the food.
[0034] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 13 is made of glass.
[0035] In this embodiment, a mounting slot (not shown) for installing a control panel 15 is provided on the left side of the steam oven 11, and the control panel 15 is located in the mounting slot.
[0036] By adding a warming box 12 to a traditional steamer, the design integrates the steamer and the warming box 12 into one unit. No additional space is needed for the warming box 12. Steamed food is placed in the upper multi-layered warming box 12, which keeps the food warm while steaming. Excess steam from the lower steamer escapes into the upper warming box 12, which uses this waste steam to keep the food warm. This prevents steam from escaping and eliminates the need for a separate exhaust hood on the multi-functional steamer. This design is not only energy-efficient and environmentally friendly but also makes food processing very convenient, enhancing the performance of the multi-functional steamer. Furthermore, because it uses superheated steam generated by reheating ordinary 100℃ steam, the cooking speed is fast, locking in moisture and nutrients for better flavor. It also provides better insulation for the food in the warming box 12, ensuring food safety and compliance with food safety regulations. This structural design makes the multi-functional steamer more compact, facilitating production and saving space. In addition, the multi-functional steamer is not only simple in structure, but also safe and reliable in use, making it easy to implement and promote its application.
[0037] Specifically, the lower steamer 11 has a compact overall structure. The electrical box 4 is located on the left side, and multiple cabinets 111 are designed on the other side for steaming food. After steaming, the steam flows into the upper insulated box 12 to keep the food warm. The insulated box 12 is designed with multiple insulation layers 120, and each layer is connected front to back. Several insulated drawers are arranged sequentially in the insulation layer 120. Each insulated drawer has a cabinet door 13 on the front and back for closing. The cabinet doors 13 are made of transparent glass, allowing food to be displayed from the back of the insulated box 12 in the kitchen. When using the food, the user can take it from the front of the insulated box 12 and place it in the tray 2 on the top of the insulated box 12. The top of the insulated box 12 is designed with a guide rail for the tray 2 to slide, which eliminates the need for a shelf to place the tray 2 in front of the traditional insulated cabinet, reducing the floor space occupied and saving space.
[0038] In this embodiment, a handle 112 is provided on the outer side of the steam oven 11. The purpose of providing the handle 112 is to facilitate opening the steam oven 11 during actual use, and at the same time to prevent burns during use.
[0039] Multiple independent inner chambers 111 are evenly placed inside the steam oven 11, and each inner chamber 111 is positioned opposite to the air inlet solenoid valve 61. By setting up multiple independent inner chambers 111, heat loss, cross-steaming, and cross-contamination of flavors between foods are prevented. The purpose of positioning each inner chamber 111 opposite to the air inlet solenoid valve 61 is to ensure that steam can enter the independently set steam oven 11.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
