[0019] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-5This utility model provides a top-venting steam oven, which includes an inner liner 2 disposed in a housing 1 and a venting mechanism. A venting duct is formed between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the outer wall of the inner liner 2. The venting mechanism is located in the venting duct. A vent hole 10 is provided on the top front side of the housing 1. The venting duct connects the inner liner 2 and the vent hole 10. The venting mechanism is used to discharge water vapor in the venting duct through the vent hole 10. The venting mechanism includes a venting fan blade 9 and a motor 5. The motor 5 is used to drive the venting fan blade 9 to work. By setting the venting hole on the top front side of the steam oven, its longitudinal depth is reduced compared to the traditional rear-venting steam oven, making it more suitable for embedded installation. Moreover, front-side venting does not affect the embedded installation and use of the steam oven.

[0021] An air frying assembly is also provided inside the housing 1. The air frying assembly adds an air frying function to the steam oven. The air frying assembly includes a hot air hood 3, a heating element 4, and a hot air fan blade 6. The hot air hood 3 is located on the outer wall of the inner liner 2, and a hot air chamber 7 is formed between the hot air hood 3 and the outer wall of the inner liner 2. The heating element 4 and the hot air fan blade 6 are located in the hot air chamber. The shaft of the motor 5 passes through the hot air hood 3 and is connected to the hot air fan blade. The motor of the exhaust mechanism is used to drive the hot air fan blade to rotate, which can save the configuration of a motor and reduce production costs. The top wall of the inner liner 2 has a ventilation structure 8 that communicates with the hot air chamber. Hot air enters the interior of the inner liner through the ventilation structure. The ventilation structure 8 consists of multiple evenly distributed through holes.

[0022] The exhaust mechanism and air fryer assembly are both located on the top wall of the inner liner 2, which can further reduce the longitudinal dimensions of the steam oven and make it more suitable for built-in installation.

[0023] The steam oven in this embodiment is equipped with two sets of air frying components, which are arranged alternately on the left and right.

[0024] The hot air chamber 7 is connected to the exhaust duct via the exhaust pipe 17, which indirectly connects the exhaust duct to the inside of the inner liner, thereby reducing damage to the inner liner's wall structure.

[0025] The housing 1 is provided with a heat insulation shell 11, and the heat insulation shell is provided with the circuit control board 12 of the steam oven. The heat insulation shell is provided with a cooling fan 13. The housing 1 is provided with multiple ventilation and heat dissipation structures 14. The cooling fan 13 corresponds to one or more of the ventilation and heat dissipation structures. When the cooling fan is working, the outside air enters from some of the ventilation and heat dissipation structures, then passes through the inside of the heat insulation shell, which can carry away the heat of the circuit control board, and then is discharged from the ventilation and heat dissipation structure corresponding to the cooling fan.

[0026] The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a support foot 15, and the bottom of the housing has an air intake structure 16 corresponding to the heat insulation shell 11. The support foot can lift the bottom of the housing off the ground, so that the air intake structure can be unobstructed. The air intake structure 16 corresponds to the air intake end of the heat insulation shell 11. The cooling fan 13 is set at the air outlet end of the heat insulation shell 11. The air entering from the air intake structure can directly enter the heat insulation shell, which has a significant effect on the heat dissipation and cooling of the circuit control board.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
