Description

A water tank and cooking equipment Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a water sink and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During oven cooking, food generates a large amount of water vapor as it heats up. This vapor condenses into water as it passes through the condenser coils inside the oven cavity. Because the oven door cools down instantly when opened, a large amount of condensation accumulates. Furthermore, since the door opens at an angle, some of this condensation drips down. To address this issue, ovens typically have a drip tray on the underside of the door to collect this condensation. Current drip trays are mostly made of plastic or metal. Plastic is prone to deformation due to heat during operation, making installation and removal difficult. Metal, due to its excellent heat conductivity, poses a risk of burns to users over extended periods of use. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1-6, an embodiment of the water collection tank 200 and cooking equipment of this utility model is shown. The water collection tank 200 is located at the bottom front side of the cavity 100 of the cooking equipment, which can be an oven, steam oven, steam oven, microwave-steam-grill combination machine, etc. The main function of the water collection tank 200 is to efficiently collect condensation water generated by the temperature difference between hot and cold during the cooking process, preventing water from dripping into the cavity 100 or onto the outside of the equipment.

[0035] As shown in Figures 3-5, the water receiving tank 200 is composed of two parts: a metal frame 210 and a heat insulation covering layer 220.

[0036] The metal frame 210 forms the main frame structure of the water receiving trough 200. The metal frame 210 is preferably made of high-strength steel, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel plate. The metal frame 210 is integrally formed and has a long strip structure. Its cross-section is designed as a U-shaped water collection trough a to ensure that condensate water flows smoothly along the door and collects smoothly.

[0037] The heat insulation layer 220 covers the outer surface of the metal frame 210. The heat insulation layer 220 covers at least the outer surface of the metal frame 210, serving to insulate against heat and prevent burns. The heat insulation layer 220 can be injection molded from high-temperature resistant silicone or glass fiber reinforced plastic.

[0038] The aforementioned water receiving tank 200 adopts a structure in which a metal frame 210 is covered with a heat insulation layer 220. The metal frame 210 effectively avoids heat deformation, while the heat insulation layer 220 plays the role of insulating heat. Through the composite structure of metal and heat insulation material, the water receiving tank 200 is guaranteed to be functionally reliable while also ensuring safety in high-temperature environments and user operation convenience.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the metal frame 210 is provided with a plurality of openings 211. By providing a plurality of openings 211, the weight of the metal frame 210 itself can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, since the metal frame 210 is an important component of the water receiving tank 200, the reduction of its weight can further reduce the overall weight of the water receiving tank 200, thereby improving the transportation convenience, installation efficiency and reducing related costs of the water receiving tank 200.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the heat insulation covering layer 220 is made of high-temperature resistant silicone. High-temperature resistant silicone has excellent heat insulation performance and stability, and can adapt to relatively harsh operating environments. In terms of manufacturing process, an injection molding process is used to tightly cover the inner and outer surfaces of the metal frame 210 with the high-temperature resistant silicone, achieving complete encapsulation of the metal frame 210. This one-piece molding method not only ensures good bonding strength between the heat insulation covering layer 220 and the metal frame 210, effectively preventing the heat insulation layer from falling off, but also further improves the overall heat insulation effect, providing more reliable heat insulation protection.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 221 are formed on the heat insulation covering layer 220 inside the water collection tank a. The reinforcing ribs 221 can improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the heat insulation covering layer 220 inside the water collection tank a, and extend its service life.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the heat insulation covering layer 220 is 2-10 mm.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the water receiving trough 200 is provided with a groove 224. Two grooves 224 are provided, respectively located near both ends of the water receiving trough 200. Since the water receiving trough 200 is located between the inner liner and the door body, and the gap between the inner liner and the door body is relatively small, by providing the groove 224 on the water receiving trough 200, the user can hold the groove 224 and insert it vertically during installation, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the water receiving trough 200.

[0044] This utility model also includes a cooking device, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, which includes a box body, a cavity 100 disposed inside the box body, a door body disposed on the front side of the cavity 100, and the aforementioned water receiving tank 200. The water receiving tank 200 is disposed at the bottom of the front side of the cavity 100 and is used to collect condensate water generated by the temperature difference between hot and cold during the cooking process, preventing water from dripping into the cavity 100 or onto the outside of the device.

[0045] The cavity 100 includes a front plate 110, with a support plate 120 at its bottom. The support plate 120 has positioning holes 121. The bottom of the heat insulation covering layer 220 has positioning protrusions 223 corresponding to the positioning holes 121. The water receiving tank 200 is supported on the support plate 120 through the positioning protrusions 223 and the positioning holes 121. The water receiving tank 200 is easy to install and remove via the positioning holes 121 and the positioning protrusions 223. Referring to Figure 6, this application exemplarily shows three positioning protrusions 223, which are evenly distributed along the length of the water receiving tank.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the heat insulation covering layer 220 has downwardly protruding support portions 222 at both ends of the water receiving tank 200. In this application, because the bottom of the water receiving tank 200 has positioning protrusions 223, it is difficult for the water receiving tank 200 to be placed stably on a normal flat surface, which may result in wobbling, tilting, or even tipping over. Therefore, support portions 222 are provided at both ends of the water receiving tank 200 to ensure that the water receiving tank 200 is placed stably.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the support plate 120 is formed by bending the bottom edge of the front plate 110, which has a simple structure and does not require welding or splicing.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
