AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Residual water often remains in the water tank of existing steam ovens, leading to a poor user experience.

Method used

Design a water tank device in which a sealing element is disposed in the water outlet channel. The valve assembly moves between a first and a second position. The sealing element blocks the water outlet in the first position and opens the water outlet in the second position. An elastic element is used to realize the automatic reset of the valve assembly to avoid residual water.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents water leakage when the water tank assembly is removed, improves the user experience, simplifies the structure and disassembly process of the water tank assembly, and reduces costs.

Abstract

The utility model provides a water tank device and a steam cooking utensil, the water tank device is used for the steam cooking utensil, the water tank device comprises a water tank assembly, the water tank assembly comprises a water containing cavity, a water outlet channel and a valve assembly, the water outlet channel is communicated with the water containing cavity, and the valve assembly is movably installed in the water outlet channel; the base can move between a first position and a second position; the water outlet channel comprises a water outlet, the valve assembly comprises a sealing piece, when the valve assembly is located at the first position, the sealing piece blocks the water outlet, and when the valve assembly is located at the second position, the sealing piece opens the water outlet. According to the structure, the sealing piece is installed in the water outlet channel, when the valve assembly closes the water outlet channel, the sealing piece can move along the outlet of the water outlet channel, in this way, residual water in the water outlet channel can be squeezed out through the sealing piece, it is avoided that much water is left in the water outlet channel, and when the water tank assembly is taken out, water leakage of the water tank assembly can be avoided; and the user experience is influenced.
