[0002] The cooking device with a steaming function, such as a steaming oven, a steaming oven, a micro steaming oven, and a steaming oven integrated with a stove, etc., comprises an inner container and a door body. The inner container has a cooking cavity, and food is cooked in the cooking cavity. The door body is used to open and close the cooking cavity. During the cooking process, a large amount of heat is generated in the inner container, and part of the heat in the inner container is transferred to the door body, causing the temperature of the door body to rise. If the temperature of the door body is allowed to rise too high, there is a risk of the door body scalding the user. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cooking device with a steaming function in view of the above problems.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] a box body;

[0007] an inner container arranged in the box body, the inner container having a cooking cavity;

[0008] a heat dissipation air duct fixedly arranged on the upper part of the box body and located above the inner container, the heat dissipation air duct having a first air inlet and a first air outlet;

[0009] a heat dissipation fan arranged in the heat dissipation air duct and used to form an air flow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet;

[0010] a door body movably connected to the box body and used to open and close the cooking cavity, the door body being located in front of the heat dissipation air duct; the door body is provided with an air passage, the air passage having a second air inlet and a second air outlet, the second air inlet being arranged on the upper part of the door body and being arranged opposite to the first air outlet, and the first air outlet being arranged on the lower part of the door body and being in communication with the outside; and

[0011] a water tank fixedly arranged on the outer top wall of the heat dissipation air duct and located close to the second air outlet.

[0012] The cooking device with a steaming function has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the cooking device with the steaming function, the water tank can absorb the heat of the heat dissipation air duct, so as to reduce the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet, so that the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet is lower than the temperature of the door body. The air blown out from the first air outlet enters the door body through the second air inlet and flows from top to bottom through the door body, and finally is discharged to the outside from the second air outlet. In this process, the air absorbs the heat of the door body, so as to dissipate the heat of the door body and reduce the temperature rise of the door body, which is beneficial to prevent the door body from scalding the user. Moreover, after the water tank absorbs the heat of the heat dissipation air duct, the temperature of the water in the water tank rises, and the water in the water tank is preheated. When the water in the water tank is supplied to the steam generator of the cooking device, the water only needs to absorb less heat to evaporate into water vapor, which is beneficial to save electric energy and reduce the use cost of the cooking device.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the second air inlet comprises an entrance section and a guide section, and the guide section extends backward from the entrance section and gradually flares from the edge of the first air outlet.

[0015] In this way, the guide section can receive more air from the first air outlet and guide the air to the entrance section, so that the air enters the door body, which is beneficial to the air flowing through the door body, dissipating the heat of the door body, reducing the temperature rise of the door body, and preventing the door body from scalding the user.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the part of the water tank that contacts the outer top wall of the heat dissipation air duct is made of copper.

[0017] In this way, the water tank can absorb the heat of the heat dissipation air duct, reduce the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet, dissipate the heat of the door body, and better preheat the water in the water tank, which is beneficial to prevent the door body from scalding the user and reduce the use cost of the cooking device.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, the part of the outer top wall of the heat dissipation air duct that contacts the water tank is made of copper.

[0019] In this way, the water tank can absorb the heat of the heat dissipation air duct, reduce the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet, dissipate the heat of the door body, and better preheat the water in the water tank, which is beneficial to prevent the door body from scalding the user and reduce the use cost of the cooking device.

[0020] In one of the embodiments, a handle is arranged on the door body, and the handle is arranged close to the second air inlet.

[0021] In this way, the air entering the door body from the second air inlet can take away the heat on the handle, which is beneficial to reduce the temperature rise of the handle, allow the user to open and close the door through the handle at any time, and improve the user's experience.

[0022] In one embodiment, a portion of the front side of the door is recessed to form a cavity, the cavity being located near the second air inlet, the cavity having a bottom wall and side walls, and a stress plate being provided on the door, the stress plate protruding from the side wall and spaced apart from the bottom wall.

[0023] This design allows users to reach into the recessed cavity and apply force to the support plate to open and close the door. The recessed cavity is positioned close to the second air inlet, which helps the airflow entering the door from the second air inlet carry away heat from the vicinity of the recessed cavity, reducing the temperature rise of the recessed cavity and support plate. This also allows users to easily reach into the recessed cavity to open and close the door, improving the user experience.

[0024] In one embodiment, both the first air outlet and the second air inlet are elongated.

[0025] This design allows more air to enter the door, which helps dissipate heat, reduces the door's temperature rise, and prevents users from being burned by the door.

[0026] In one embodiment, the water tank is rectangular in shape, and the front side of the water tank is aligned with the first air outlet.

[0027] This design helps the water tank absorb heat near the first air outlet, reduces the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet, dissipates heat from the door, reduces the door's temperature rise, and prevents the door from burning the user.

[0028] In one embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a lighting device for illuminating the inner pot, the lighting device being disposed within the heat dissipation duct.

[0029] This design helps to dissipate heat from the lighting fixtures and increases their lifespan.

[0030] In one embodiment, the lighting device is positioned close to the water tank.

[0031] This design helps to dissipate heat from the lighting fixtures and increases their lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 8This application provides a cooking device with a steaming function, comprising a housing 1, an inner liner 2, a heat dissipation duct 3, a heat dissipation fan 4, a door 5, and a water tank 6. The inner liner 2 is located within the housing 1 and has a cooking cavity 21. The heat dissipation duct 3 is fixed to the upper part of the housing 1 and located above the inner liner 2, and has a first air inlet 31 and a first air outlet 32. The heat dissipation fan 4 is located within the heat dissipation duct 3 and is used to generate airflow from the first air inlet 31 to the first air outlet 32. The door 5 is movably connected to the housing 1 and is used to open and close the cooking cavity 21, and is located in front of the heat dissipation duct 3. The door 5 has a ventilation channel 51, which has a second air inlet 511 and a second air outlet 512. The second air inlet 511 is located on the upper part of the door 5 and is directly opposite the first air outlet 32, while the first air outlet 32 ​​is located on the lower part of the door 5 and communicates with the outside. The water tank 6 is fixed to the outer top wall of the heat dissipation duct 3 and is located near the second air outlet 512.

[0049] In this cooking appliance with steaming function, the water tank 6 absorbs heat from the heat dissipation duct 3, reducing the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet 32, making the temperature of the air blown out from the first air outlet 32 ​​significantly lower than the temperature of the door body 5. The air blown out from the first air outlet 32 ​​enters the door body 5 through the second air inlet 511, flows down through the door body 5, and is finally discharged to the outside through the second air outlet 512. During this process, the air absorbs heat from the door body 5, dissipating heat and reducing the temperature rise of the door body 5, which helps prevent burns to the user. Moreover, after the water tank 6 absorbs heat from the heat dissipation duct 3, the temperature of the water in the water tank 6 rises, preheating the water. This means that when the water in the water tank 6 is added to the steam generator of the cooking appliance, it only needs to absorb less heat to evaporate into steam, which helps save energy and reduce the operating cost of the cooking appliance.

[0050] For example, cooking appliances with steaming function are steam ovens / steam ovens / microwave-steam-grill combos / stove-steam-grill combos.
