Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated stove accessories, and in particular to an integrated stove water box device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing integrated cooktops with steam ovens typically require a water box device to supply water to the steam oven. This water box device includes a mounting bracket, a pop-out mechanism, a valve core, and a water box. The mounting bracket is installed inside the integrated cooktop, and the water box is movably inserted into the front of the mounting bracket. The pop-out mechanism is installed between the rear end of the water box and the mounting bracket. A water outlet pipe is horizontally inserted through the rear end of the mounting bracket, and a connecting pipe is provided on the rear end of the water box. One end of the water outlet pipe is connected to a water supply pipe, and the other end of the water supply pipe is inserted into the steam oven. When the rear end of the connecting pipe is inserted into the front end of the water outlet pipe, the valve core is activated, allowing water to enter the water outlet pipe through the connecting pipe and then flow into the steam oven through the water supply pipe. When the connecting pipe is removed, the valve core closes, and water does not flow from the connecting pipe. A sealing ring is provided around the front end of the connecting pipe. In use, pressing the water box will cause the pop-out mechanism to eject the water box, with the front end of the water box extending out of the integrated cooktop for easy water refilling. At this time, the water box will move the connecting pipe forward, disengaging it from the water outlet pipe, and the valve core will close, preventing water from flowing from the connecting pipe. To ensure the airtightness of the connecting pipe and the outlet pipe, the connecting pipe must press the sealing ring tightly against the inner wall of the outlet pipe. This sealing ring design causes significant obstruction when the water box pops out, making it easy for the column to get stuck. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated stove water box device that ensures both airtightness and prevents the water box from getting stuck when it pops out.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an integrated stove water box device, comprising a mounting bracket and a water box, wherein the water box is movably inserted into the front side of the mounting bracket, the rear end face of the mounting bracket is provided with a water outlet pipe, and the rear end face of the water box is provided with a connecting pipe that connects to the water outlet pipe. An elastic sealing cap is provided over the end of the water outlet pipe, and an installation hole for the connecting pipe to be inserted is opened in the middle of the sealing cap; the inner wall of the installation hole presses against the outer wall of the connecting pipe. By covering the end of the water outlet pipe with the elastic sealing cap and pressing the inner wall of the installation hole against the outer wall of the connecting pipe, a seal is achieved between the water outlet pipe and the connecting pipe. The sealing is achieved by the elasticity of the sealing cap itself, eliminating the need for the water outlet pipe and the connecting pipe to jointly compress the sealing cap. Therefore, when the water box is pulled out, the connecting pipe can be freely inserted into or removed from the installation hole with low resistance, ensuring both sealing performance and preventing jamming when the water box pops out.

[0005] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe to allow for the edge of the mounting hole to be pressed and inserted. This further ensures the stability of the insertion.

[0006] Furthermore, the sealing cap is made of rubber material.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This product uses the elasticity of the sealing cap itself to press the water outlet tube and the connecting tube together, so that when the water box is pulled out, the connecting tube can easily detach from and insert into the mounting hole of the sealing cap, with low resistance, which ensures the sealing performance and avoids the water box getting stuck.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the invention and not all structures. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0014] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0015] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an integrated stove water box device includes a mounting bracket 1, a pop-out mechanism, and a water box 2. The mounting bracket is installed inside the integrated stove. The water box 2 is movably inserted into the front side of the mounting bracket 1. The pop-out mechanism is located between the rear end of the water box 2 and the mounting bracket 1. The rear end face of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a water outlet pipe 3, and the rear end face of the water box 2 is provided with a connecting pipe 4. The connecting pipe 4 is inserted into the front end of the water outlet pipe 3. The rear end of the water outlet pipe 3 is connected to one end of a water supply pipe, and the other end of the water supply pipe is connected to the steam chamber of the integrated stove. This part of the structure is similar to that of existing integrated stoves and will not be described again here.

[0017] In use, pressing the water box 2 will cause the pop-up mechanism to eject the water box 2, moving its front end outside the integrated stove for easy water refilling. At this time, the connecting pipe 4 is disconnected from the water outlet pipe 3, the valve core is closed, and no water will flow from the connecting pipe 4. After adding water, pressing the water box 2 again will reset the pop-up mechanism, moving the water box back into the integrated stove. At this time, the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the water outlet pipe 3, the valve core is opened, and the water in the water box will flow through the connecting pipe 4 into the water outlet pipe 3, then from the water outlet pipe 3 into the water supply pipe, and finally into the steam oven for water replenishment. This part of the structure is similar to that of existing integrated stoves.

[0018] Specifically, the end of the water outlet tube 3 is covered with an elastic sealing cap 5. The shape of the sealing cap 5 is similar to that of a lid. The edge of the sealing cap 5 elastically presses against the outer wall of the water outlet tube 3. The sealing cap 5 is made of rubber material. A circular mounting hole 51 is opened in the center of the sealing cap 5. The mounting hole 51 is for the insertion of the connecting tube 4. The inner wall of the mounting hole 51 presses against the outer wall of the connecting tube 4, and the outer wall of the connecting tube 4 forms an annular groove 41. The edge of the mounting hole 51 is pressed into the annular groove 41.

[0019] When adding water, press the water box 2, and the pop-out mechanism will push the water box forward. The front end of the water box 2 will extend beyond the front end of the integrated stove. At this time, the connecting pipe 41 will also move forward, the ring groove 41 will disengage from the sealing cover 42, and the connecting pipe 4 will easily disengage from the water outlet pipe 3.

[0020] After the water is added, push the water box 2 back into the integrated stove, and the pop-out mechanism resets. During this process, the rear end of the connecting pipe 4 passes through the mounting hole 51 and is inserted into the water outlet pipe 3. The annular groove 41 is re-inserted into the mounting hole of the sealing cover 42 to achieve a seal.

[0021] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
