Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-cavity steam-roast cooking device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main type of steam-and-bake cooking equipment is the steam oven, which is widely used in homes and professional kitchens. It combines the advantages of both steaming and baking, meeting a variety of cooking needs. However, existing household steam ovens are limited by their size and can typically only perform one type of cooking operation on the food inside the cooking cavity. When users need to cook two items simultaneously (steaming and baking), they cannot use both functions at the same time, forcing them to cook them separately. This results in the food being cooked first losing temperature outside the oven or coming into contact with the external environment, leading to a decline in the final cooking quality and a reduced user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steam oven that can perform both steaming and baking within the same cooking cavity. Utility Model Content

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0034] This invention provides a multi-cavity steam-bake cooking device, which aims to solve the problem that existing steam-bake cooking devices do not support users using steaming and baking functions simultaneously.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 8In one embodiment, the multi-cavity steam-baking cooking device includes: a cooking chamber 1, wherein the cooking chamber 1 has a cooking cavity 11; a baking heating element 2, disposed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 11; a steam generating element 3, disposed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 11; and a partition assembly 4, disposed in the cooking cavity 11, the partition assembly 4 dividing the cooking cavity 11 into at least two sub-cavities, wherein at least one steam generating element 3 and / or one baking heating element 2 are disposed in each sub-cavity, and the sub-cavities are used to contain food to be cooked. In this embodiment, the cooking chamber 1 has one cooking cavity 11. The cooking chamber 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel to ensure safe use in high temperature and high humidity environments. The baking heating element 2 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 11. Specifically, the baking heating element 2 consists of multiple heating tubes 21, which can be distributed on the top, side walls 14, and bottom surface 13 of the cavity according to design requirements. The heating tubes 21 are heated by an electrical control system to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the cooking cavity 11, achieving uniform baking of the food. A steam generating assembly 3 is located on the inner wall of the cooking chamber 11, and mainly includes a steam generator 33, a steam nozzle 31, and a steam return port 32. The steam nozzle 31 and the steam return port 32 are connected to the steam generator 33 via pipelines. The steam generator 33 generates steam through an electric heating element. The steam nozzle 31 evenly injects steam into the cooking chamber 11, while the steam return port 32 collects and discharges excess steam to prevent steam overflow. A partition assembly 4 is located in the cooking chamber 11, which can divide the cooking chamber 11 into at least two sub-cavities. Each sub-cavity contains at least one steam generating assembly 3 and / or one baking heating element 2 for accommodating and cooking different foods. When the partition assembly 4 divides the cooking chamber 11 into upper and lower layers, the foods to be cooked are placed in the respective sub-cavities. The partition assembly 4 not only serves as a separator but also as a support for the foods to be cooked.
[0036] Compared to existing technologies, in the technical solution of this utility model, the cooking chamber 11 inside the cooking box 1 is divided into multiple sub-cavities by a partition assembly 4. Each sub-cavity is equipped with at least one steam generating assembly 3 and / or a baking heating assembly 2, thereby allowing users to perform steam cooking and hot air baking simultaneously in the same device. This not only improves cooking efficiency but also enables users to process different types of food at the same time, meeting diverse cooking needs.
[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 Figures 4 to 7The cooking chamber 1 has an interface on one side. The partition assembly 4 includes a first partition 41, and the inner wall of the cooking cavity 11 has a mounting groove 17. The first partition 41 is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 17 along the opening direction of the interface. The interface on one side of the cooking chamber 1 has an openable door, allowing users to easily put in or take out food. Especially in multi-cavity devices, the interface provides a convenient operating interface. Furthermore, the opening size of the interface can be adjusted as needed to ensure more efficient operation and avoid inconvenience. Specifically, the interface has a door cover flange 16, which positions the door when closed, sealing the cooking cavity 11 and ensuring its independence during cooking. The first partition 41 can be detachably inserted into the mounting groove 17 of the cooking cavity 11 along the opening direction of the interface. Users can flexibly choose whether to use the first partition 41 and its installation position according to actual cooking needs. The mounting groove 17 of the first partition 41 is typically located on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 11, ensuring that the first partition 41 can be stably fixed within the groove. During cooking, if more space is needed to accommodate large food items, the user can easily remove the first partition 41 to expand the effective space of the cavity. When it is necessary to divide the cavity into multiple independent areas, the user can achieve this by inserting the first partition 41, thereby enabling multiple cooking methods to be performed simultaneously. Through the detachable design of the partition, the device can adjust the partitioning according to different cooking needs, providing flexible operating space.
[0038] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The mounting slots 17 extend along the opening direction of the interaction port, and at least one pair of mounting slots 17 are respectively positioned on the upper and lower walls of the cooking cavity 11. The first partition 41 is vertically and detachably inserted into the pair of mounting slots 17. The length direction of the mounting slots 17 extends along the opening direction of the interaction port, that is, it extends inward from the user interaction side of the front of the device, forming a deep insertion structure. This structure allows the user to directly insert and fix the partition vertically from the interaction port position, with a natural operation path, conforming to ergonomics and improving ease of use. On the top surface 12 and bottom surface 13 of the cooking cavity 11, two groove-like structures are respectively provided along the rearward direction of the front of the device, forming a pair of mounting slots 17, so that the first partition 41 can be stably inserted vertically in the vertical direction. The first partition 41 is mainly a flat plate, the height of which matches the vertical dimension of the cooking cavity 11, and the side edges are structurally designed according to the width of the mounting slots 17, so that it can be vertically inserted into the corresponding mounting slots 17 on the upper and lower walls. The first partition 41 is inserted into the upper and lower mounting slots 17 from the interface towards the corresponding rear wall 15. Because the upper and lower mounting slots 17 are paired and precisely aligned, the partition is constrained in both the horizontal and longitudinal directions after insertion, providing good stability. After installation, the first partition 41 divides the cooking cavity 11 into two sub-cavities, left and right.
[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 7The multi-cavity steam-baking cooking equipment also includes a horizontal fixing assembly 5. The horizontal fixing assembly 5 includes a first fixing structure and a second fixing structure. The first fixing structure is connected to the peripheral sidewall 14 of the cooking cavity 11, and the second fixing structure is disposed on the first partition 41. The partition assembly 4 also includes a second partition 42, which is detachably connected to the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure along the opening direction of the interaction port. The horizontal fixing assembly 5 mainly consists of two parts: the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure. The first fixing structure, connected to the peripheral sidewall 14 of the cooking cavity 11, ensures the entire fixing system is securely installed inside the cooking chamber 1. The peripheral sidewall 14, as the outer wall of the cooking cavity 11, provides sufficient support and stability, ensuring that the first fixing structure is not easily displaced during operation. The second fixing structure is disposed on the first partition 41, providing support and fixing for the second partition 42. The direct connection between the second fixing structure and the first partition 41 effectively prevents the second partition 42 from loosening or shifting due to external forces during use, ensuring that the partition always remains in the predetermined position. The second partition 42 is detachably connected between the first and second fixed structures along the opening direction of the interface. This allows the user to quickly remove or install the second partition 42 as needed, thereby enabling flexible adjustment of the space within the cooking cavity 11. Through the proper cooperation of the first partition 41 and the second partition 42, the cooking cavity 11 can be divided into multiple functional zones, allowing steaming and baking to be performed simultaneously within the same device. The mode, temperature, and humidity can be independently adjusted within each zone to achieve precise steaming and baking results.
[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8The first fixing structure is a shelf 51, which is connected to the peripheral wall 14. The shelf 51 has multiple support rods 511 spaced vertically. The second fixing structure is a group of protrusions 52, which are spaced vertically on the first partition 41. The support rods 511 and the protrusions are arranged in pairs. The second partition 42 is detachably mounted on the support rods 511 and the protrusion groups 52. The shelf 51, as the first fixing structure, is fixedly connected to the peripheral wall 14 of the cooking cavity 11 by multiple bolts. The shelf 51 is a horizontally arrangable frame with multiple support rods 511 arranged vertically. These support rods 511 are evenly distributed to ensure the overall stability of the shelf 51 and prevent displacement or sinking of the shelf 51 due to vibration or improper operation during cooking. The protrusion groups 52, as the second fixing structure, are spaced vertically on the first partition 41. Each protrusion group 52 consists of multiple waist-shaped protrusions 521, which are arranged vertically and evenly distributed to form multiple optional support points along the longitudinal direction. The waist-shaped protrusions 521 have a certain strength and shape to facilitate cooperation with the support rods 511 during installation and to fix the second partition 42. Multiple support rods 511 are spaced vertically, typically arranged vertically and parallel to each other, with a certain space above each support rod 511 to facilitate precise installation of the protrusion groups 52 and the second partition 42. The number and spacing of the support rods 511 can be customized according to the size of the cooking cavity 11 and user needs to ensure the flexibility and reliability of the second partition 42. The second partition 42 is detachably mounted on the support rods 511 and the protrusion groups 52, dividing the cooking cavity 11 vertically into multiple sub-cavities. By mounting the second partition 42 between the support rods 511 and the protrusion groups 52, the user can flexibly adjust the partitioning of the cooking cavity 11 as needed during cooking.
[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The steam generating assembly 3 is located below the second partition 42, and the baking heating assembly 2 is located above the second partition 42. The steam generating assembly 3 includes a steam generator 33, a steam nozzle 31, and a steam return port 32. The steam generator 33 is located outside the cooking chamber 1, while the steam nozzle 31 and steam return port 32 are located below the second partition 42. The steam generated by the steam generator 33 is introduced into the cooking chamber 11 through the steam nozzle 31, thereby steaming the food. The steam return port 32 is responsible for the discharge and return of steam, ensuring that the humidity and steam pressure in the cooking chamber 11 are maintained within an ideal range, avoiding excessive or insufficient steam from affecting the steaming effect of the food. When the first partition 41 and the second partition 42 are used simultaneously, the cooking chamber 11 is divided into four sub-chambers, with the two sub-chambers located below the second partition 42 each equipped with a steam nozzle 31 and a steam return port 32. The steam output of the steam generator 33 can be adjusted by an independent control system to ensure that the steam can be accurately delivered to different sub-chambers. The steam supply in each sub-cavity is independently controlled, allowing users to flexibly adjust the steam volume according to different needs. This enables the simultaneous steaming of different ingredients; for example, fish can be steamed in one sub-cavity while vegetables are steamed in another, as their steam requirements differ and can be controlled independently. The baking heating element 2 is located above the second partition 42 and mainly consists of heating tubes 21. The heat generated by the heating tubes 21 is used to bake the food. Because it is located above the second partition 42, it can provide uniform heat to the food during cooking, ensuring optimal baking results. Arranging the baking heating element 2 above the second partition 42 makes the sub-cavities above the second partition 42 a food cooking and processing area for baking operations. If the lower part of the second partition 42 is a sub-cavity for baking and cooking and the upper part is a sub-cavity for steam cooking, there is a risk that the condensate generated during the steam cooking process will flow into the lower sub-cavity for baking and cooking, causing the baking and cooking process to be unable to proceed normally. As in this embodiment, the design of setting the baking heating component 2 above the second partition 42 and the steam generating component 3 below can avoid this situation. By separating the cooking cavity 11 by the second partition 42, steaming and baking can be carried out simultaneously.
[0042] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5The bump assembly 52 includes an oblong bump 521, which extends along the opening direction of the interaction port. The bump assembly 52 mainly serves as a docking support and isolation positioning. The shape and position of the oblong bump 521 enable it to guide and dock in the opening direction of the interaction port, ensuring the stability and effective isolation of various areas within the cooking equipment. Furthermore, compared to bumps of other shapes, the oblong bump 521 provides more support area on its contact surface with the second partition 42, enhancing stability. Simultaneously, compared to bumps of other shapes, the connection line between the oblong bump 521 and the first partition 41 is curved, reducing the likelihood of cleaning dead angles and facilitating user cleaning, thus ensuring the hygiene of the partition assembly 4.
[0043] Furthermore, referring to Figures 5 to 7 The multiple waist-shaped protrusions 521 are arranged at intervals along the opening direction of the interaction port. This interval arrangement helps ensure that the function of each protrusion is maximized while avoiding interference between them. The interval arrangement also provides more uniform support within each cooking cavity 11, improving the stability of the baking pan and partition in different areas and ensuring that food is not heated unevenly during cooking.
[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 The waist-shaped protrusion 521 is formed by recessing from one side of the first partition 41 to the other. To facilitate the production of the first partition 41 and reduce production costs, it is typically made of stainless steel or enamel. During the pressing process of forming the first partition 41, a portion of the material plate is lifted by a protruding mold on one side, forming the waist-shaped protrusion 521 on the other side of the material plate. The waist-shaped protrusion 521 formed in this way has better overall strength than a waist-shaped protrusion 521 formed by separately manufacturing parts and installing them onto the first partition 41 via connectors or connecting structures. Furthermore, there are no gaps between the parts, facilitating cleaning of the partition assembly 4 by the user.
[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3The multi-cavity steam-roasting cooking equipment also includes lighting lamps 6, with multiple lamps 6 disposed on the peripheral sidewalls 14 of the cooking cavity 11. The placement of the lighting lamps 6 on the peripheral sidewalls 14 of the cooking cavity 11 ensures that each cooking area receives sufficient illumination. Especially when the internal space of the cooking cavity 11 is relatively enclosed, the lighting lamps 6 effectively improve the visibility of the food, making it easier for users to observe the cooking status. Users can intuitively observe the cooking progress of each area, avoiding uneven cooking or food damage caused by insufficient light. The number of lighting lamps 6 is at least consistent with the number of sub-cavities, ensuring that each zone has independent lighting and that each area receives uniform illumination, preventing any area from being underlit. The lighting lamps 6 make the equipment more user-friendly during operation, especially in low-light environments, eliminating the need for users to rely on external light sources to check the food's condition. The lighting lamps 6 provide clear visual feedback to users, improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the lighting provides visual assistance in observing changes in the color and texture of the food, making the cooking status of the food readily apparent, thereby helping users better adjust cooking parameters.
[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
