[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Currently, steam ovens, or kitchen appliances with integrated steam oven functions (such as integrated cooktops), offer excellent functionality and are widely popular. However, the grease splattered onto the inner walls of the steam oven cavity after cooking is difficult to remove. Common methods involve manual wiping with cloths, steel wool, or cleaning agents, which are labor-intensive and ineffective, indicating room for improvement.

[0035] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a steam oven and an integrated cooktop that automatically cleans the inner wall of the steam oven's cavity, thereby reducing manual labor and improving cleaning efficiency. The following is a description of the process. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 Further details about the steam oven are described below.

[0036] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the steam oven 100 from a first-view perspective is shown. Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of the steam oven 100 from a second perspective is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the water circuit connection of the steam oven 100 is shown. For clarity, Figures 1-3The steam oven 100 shown has its door removed. (Combined) Figures 1-4 The steam oven 100 includes a cleaning source 110, a heater 120, an inner liner 130, and a nozzle 140. The cleaning source 110 stores a cleaning medium, and there are two or more cleaning sources 110 storing the cleaning medium. The heater 120 is connected to the two or more cleaning sources 110 and is used to heat the cleaning medium in the cleaning source 110. The nozzle 140 is connected to the inner liner 130, and at least a portion of the output of the nozzle 140 faces the inside of the inner liner 130. The nozzle 140 is connected to the heater 120, and the nozzle 140 outputs at least one cleaning medium.

[0037] The steam oven 100 provided in this application has a heater 120 connected to two or more cleaning sources 110, a nozzle 140 connected to the heater 120, and an inner liner 130. At least a portion of the output of the nozzle 140 faces the interior of the inner liner 130. Therefore, at least one cleaning medium can be selected based on the oil concentration in the inner liner 130, delivered to the heater 120, heated by the heater 120, and then output to the nozzle 140. The medium is then sprayed from the output of the nozzle 140 onto the inner liner 130 to clean the inner wall of the steam oven 100. The steam oven 100 provided in this application can automatically clean the inner wall of the inner liner 130, saving manpower and ensuring cleaning effectiveness, thus possessing excellent practicality.

[0038] Combination Figure 3 In one embodiment, two cleaning sources 110 are provided, namely a first cleaning source 111 and a second cleaning source 112. The cleaning medium in the first cleaning source 111 is cleaning water, and the cleaning medium in the second cleaning source 112 is detergent. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the inner tank 130, at least one of the cleaning water and detergent can be delivered to the nozzle 140 according to the oil concentration of the inner tank 130. The nozzle 140 sprays at least one of the cleaning water and detergent into the inside of the inner tank 130 to clean the inside of the inner tank 130. The specific cleaning method of the inner tank 130 can be referred to the relevant description below, and will not be repeated here. In other embodiments, more cleaning sources 110 may be provided. The specific arrangement method can be referred to the arrangement method of the second cleaning source 112.

[0039] Combination Figure 3 The first cleaning source 111 includes a faucet, i.e., the heater 120 is connected to the faucet via a pipe. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the inner tank 130, the faucet is turned on to deliver cleaning water to the heater 120. This configuration eliminates the need for a pump body for pumping cleaning water, thus saving costs.

[0040] Combination Figure 3A valve 150 is provided between the first cleaning source 111 and the heater 120, and the amount of cleaning water delivered can be controlled by the valve 150. The valve 150 is a solenoid valve, and the valve 150 can be controlled by the controller of the steam oven 100 to open or close the valve 150 at different cleaning stages.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, valve 150 has a built-in flow sensor to obtain the specific delivery volume of cleaning water. When heater 120 delivers cleaning water and detergent simultaneously, the flow sensor can obtain the specific delivery volume of cleaning water to mix with detergent and form a washing solution with a suitable concentration to adapt to the cleaning of the inner tank 130 with different oil fume concentrations, thereby saving energy while ensuring the cleaning effect inside the inner tank 130.

[0042] Combination Figure 3 A first pump body 160 is provided between the second cleaning source 112 and the heater 120. When the interior of the inner liner 130 needs cleaning, the detergent in the second cleaning source 112 is pumped to the heater 120 through the first pump body 160. To facilitate the replenishment of detergent in the second cleaning source 112, in one embodiment, the second cleaning source 112 is a storage box with an openable replenishment port. A level gauge can be installed inside the storage box to monitor the amount of detergent in the storage box in real time. When it is confirmed that the detergent in the storage box is insufficient, the controller of the steam oven 100 can issue a prompt notification to the user. The prompt notification can be an alarm sound or a prompt message sent to the user terminal to remind the user to replenish the detergent in the storage box through the open replenishment port. In another embodiment, the storage box is detachably connected to the inner liner 130. When it is confirmed that the detergent in the storage box is insufficient, the user can remove the storage box to replenish the detergent. After the detergent is replenished, the user then reassembles the storage box onto the inner liner 130.

[0043] It should be noted that the first cleaning source 111 can also adopt the setting method of the second cleaning source 112. That is, the second cleaning source 112 can also be a storage box. The method of replenishing the cleaning water of the first cleaning source 111 can refer to the method of replenishing the detergent of the second cleaning source 112. This application will not elaborate on it here.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 A second pump body 170 is provided between the nozzle 140 and the heater 120. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the inner tank 130, the cleaning medium in the heater 120 is pumped to the nozzle 140 through the second pump body 170 and output from the output section of the nozzle 140.

[0045] Figure 4 A third-view structural schematic diagram of the steam oven 100 is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 4The inner liner 130 of this application has a roughly box-shaped structure and a dispensing port 101. The door can open and close the dispensing port 101 to seal the inner liner 130, allowing food to be cooked through the sealed inner liner 130. A receiving cavity 102 is provided on one side of the inner liner 130 along its length. A heater 120 is arranged inside the receiving cavity 102. A second cleaning source 112 and a first pump body 160 and a second pump body 170 connected to the second cleaning source 112 are located on the top of the inner liner 130, above the receiving cavity 102. The replenishment port of the second cleaning source 112 is exposed on the outer surface of the inner liner 130 to facilitate the replenishment of detergent to the second cleaning source 112. The input end of the pump body is connected to the second cleaning source 112 via a pipe, and the output end of the pump body is connected to the heater 120 via a pipe. This arrangement optimizes the piping layout to a certain extent and makes reasonable use of space.

[0046] Combination Figure 4 In one embodiment, the nozzle 140 includes a first nozzle 141, at least one of which is disposed on the top of the inner liner 130. The first nozzle 141 has a connecting end protruding from the top of the inner liner 130, and the connecting end of the first nozzle 141 is connected to the heater 120 via a pipe to deliver the cleaning medium output by the heater 120 to the first nozzle 141. Specifically, one first nozzle 141 is provided, and the first nozzle 141 is disposed in the middle region of the top of the inner liner 130 so that the cleaning medium sprayed by the first nozzle 141 can cover the entire interior area of ​​the inner liner 130 to a certain extent. Of course, multiple first nozzles 141 can also be provided, with multiple first nozzles 141 arranged on the top of the inner liner 130 to increase the area covered by the cleaning medium and improve the cleaning effect on the interior of the inner liner 130.

[0047] Combination Figure 4 In one embodiment, the nozzle 140 includes a second nozzle 142, and at least one second nozzle 142 is provided on each of the two opposite sides of the inner liner 130. The second nozzle 142 has a connecting end protruding from the side of the inner liner 130, and the connecting end of the second nozzle 142 is connected to the heater 120 through a pipe to deliver the cleaning medium output by the heater 120 to the second nozzle 142. Specifically, a second nozzle 142 is provided in the middle region of the side of the inner liner 130 along its length. Since the heater 120 is arranged in the side of the inner liner 130 along its length, this arrangement optimizes the pipeline connecting the heater 120 and the second nozzle 142 adjacent to the heater 120, making reasonable use of space. Of course, multiple second nozzles 142 can also be provided on the side of the inner liner 130 along its length to increase the area covered by the cleaning medium and improve the cleaning effect on the inside of the inner liner 130.

[0048] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the nozzle 140 includes a first nozzle 141 and a second nozzle 142. That is, the first nozzle 141 is provided on the top of the inner liner 130, and the second nozzles 142 are provided on both sides of the inner liner 130 along its length. By combining the spraying of the first nozzle 141 and the second nozzle 142, the coverage area of ​​the sprayed cleaning medium can be increased, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the inner liner 130. In another embodiment, only the first nozzle 141 or the second nozzle 142 may be provided to achieve cleaning of the inner liner 130.

[0049] Combination Figure 4 An oil stain sensor 133 is also installed inside the inner liner 130 to obtain the oil fume concentration in real time. The controller of the steam oven 100 is connected to the oil stain sensor 133. The controller selects an appropriate cleaning mode based on the obtained oil fume concentration to save energy while ensuring the cleaning effect inside the inner liner 130.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 The bottom of the inner liner 130 is provided with a drain hole 134. When cleaning the inside of the inner liner 130, the drain hole 134 is opened to discharge the cleaning medium through the drain hole 134 into the water receiving box (not shown) below the bottom of the inner liner 130.

[0051] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the nozzle 140 is shown, combined with Figure 5 The output section of the nozzle 140 is provided with multiple spray holes 143, which are arranged in an array, such as a rectangular array or a ring array, to improve the spray area and uniformity of the cleaning medium output from the output section of the nozzle 140.

[0052] Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the explosion. Combined with... Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The nozzle 140 includes a body 144, an impeller 145, and an inlet pipe 146. The body 144 is connected to the inner tank 130. The output section (and multiple spray holes 143) is located on the side of the body 144 facing the inside of the inner tank 130. The impeller 145 is rotatably connected to the body 144 and is located inside the body 144, with its central axis facing the output section. The inlet pipe 146 is connected to the body 144, with its outlet facing the periphery of the impeller 145. When cleaning medium is introduced into the inlet pipe 146 of the body 144, the cleaning medium drives the impeller 145 to rotate. The cleaning medium forms a vortex inside the body 144, causing it to rotate and flow outwards, accelerating the output and allowing it to be sprayed onto the inner wall of the inner tank 130. This facilitates rinsing the inner tank 130 wall and improves the cleaning effect.

[0053] Combination Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 Specifically, the main body 144 can be threaded or inserted into the side wall of the inner liner 130. One end of the main body 144 facing away from the output protrudes to the outside of the inner liner 130, and the other end of the main body 144 facing away from the output is open. The encapsulation plate 147 seals the open part of the main body 144. A central shaft is provided on the encapsulation plate 147, and the impeller 145 is rotatably connected to the central shaft of the encapsulation plate 147. The water inlet pipe 146 is integrally formed with the main body 144, and the water inlet pipe 146 is connected to the part of the main body 144 that protrudes to the outside of the inner liner 130 for connection with the heating element.

[0054] The steam oven 100 provided in this application has three cleaning modes, specifically:

[0055] The first cleaning mode is as follows: When the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is below a first preset value, the first cleaning source 111 outputs cleaning water to the heater 120, or the second cleaning source 112 outputs cleaning medium to the heater 120. That is, either cleaning water or detergent is delivered to the heater 120. The heater 120 is not working, and the nozzle 140 outputs room temperature cleaning water or cleaning medium to the inside of the inner tank 130 to clean the inside of the inner tank 130. The first cleaning mode uses only one cleaning medium to clean the inside of the inner tank and is suitable for cleaning scenarios where the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is relatively low.

[0056] The second cleaning mode is as follows: When the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is between a first preset value and a second preset value, and the second preset value is greater than the first preset value, the first cleaning source 111 outputs cleaning water to the heater 120, or the second cleaning source 112 outputs cleaning medium to the heater 120. That is, one of the cleaning water and detergent is delivered to the heater 120. The heater 120 operates, and the nozzle 140 outputs heated cleaning water (which can be steam) or cleaning medium to the inside of the inner tank 130 to clean the inside of the inner tank 130. The second cleaning mode uses only one heated cleaning medium to clean the inside of the inner tank and is suitable for cleaning scenarios where the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is slightly higher.

[0057] The third cleaning mode is as follows: the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is between a second preset value and a third preset value, where the third preset value is greater than the second preset value. The first cleaning source 111 outputs cleaning water to the heater 120, and the second cleaning source 112 outputs cleaning medium to the heater 120. That is, both cleaning water and detergent are delivered to the heater 120. The cleaning water and detergent mix inside the heater 120 to form a cleaning solution with a certain concentration. The heater 120 operates, and the nozzle 140 outputs the heated cleaning solution (which may contain steam) to the inside of the inner tank 130 to clean it. This third cleaning mode uses two heated cleaning media simultaneously to clean the inside of the inner tank, making it suitable for cleaning scenarios with high levels of oil contamination inside the inner tank 130.

[0058] It should be noted that in the third cleaning mode, the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 can be further adjusted to regulate the detergent concentration in the cleaning solution. For example, if the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is low, the detergent concentration in the cleaning solution can be reduced; if the oil concentration inside the inner tank 130 is high, the detergent concentration in the cleaning solution can be increased. This ensures effective cleaning of the inner tank 130 while saving energy. In practice, this can be achieved by changing the detergent capacity and / or the cleaning water capacity in the heater 120.

[0059] After the cleaning medium sprayed through nozzle 140 has finished cleaning the inner liner 130, the user can wipe the inner wall of the inner liner 130 with a towel or other means to keep the inner wall of the inner liner 130 clean. Alternatively, the user can use the steam oven 100's own steam baking function to dry the inner wall of the inner liner 130 to keep the inner wall of the inner liner 130 clean.

[0060] As described above, the steam oven 100 provided in this application can select different cleaning methods to clean the inner wall of the inner liner 130 according to the degree of oil stains on the inner wall, which can save on the use of consumables to a certain extent and has good practicality. It should be noted that different cleaning modes can be selected by the user. For example, the cleaning mode option can be set on the operation panel of the steam oven 100 or the control terminal connected to the steam oven 100, and the user can actively select the cleaning mode; or / and, the steam oven 100 is equipped with an oil fume concentration detector, which can obtain the oil fume concentration inside the inner liner 130. When the user needs to clean the inner liner 130, the controller of the steam oven 100 automatically selects a cleaning mode that matches the oil fume concentration based on the obtained oil fume concentration inside the inner liner 130. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0061] Based on the same design concept, this application also provides an integrated stove, which includes the aforementioned steam oven 100.

[0062] In summary, the steam oven 100 and integrated stove provided in this application can automatically clean the inner wall of the inner liner 130 of the steam oven 100, saving manpower and ensuring cleaning effect, and have great practicality.
