Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condensate collection technology for electric kitchen stoves, specifically a dry electric self-service kitchen stove with condensate collection function. Background Technology

[0002] An electric buffet stove is a device used in catering settings to keep food warm and heat it. It typically consists of a heating element, an insulation chamber, and a temperature control system. It converts electrical energy into heat energy to maintain food at a suitable temperature, preventing it from cooling and affecting its taste or causing bacterial growth. Dry-type electric buffet stoves are widely used because they employ dry heating technology, which offers the following advantages compared to traditional wet heating: no need for frequent water refills, avoiding limescale buildup and the inconvenience of adding water, making maintenance simpler; more even heating and more precise temperature control, reducing the risk of food burning due to localized overheating; higher safety, as no liquid is involved, reducing the risk of electric shock; and a more compact structure, occupying less space, making it suitable for various catering environments.

[0003] The existing dry-type electric self-service oven is placed in a designated location, the food is placed in a food bowl, placed in the center of the oven, the lid is closed, the power plug is plugged in, the main switch of the equipment is turned on, and the internal heating element, after being adjusted to the set temperature, keeps the food inside warm.

[0004] Existing dry-type electric buffet ovens, due to their dry heating method, lack a humid environment inside the cavity. Food moisture continuously evaporates as steam, and the condensation formed by the steam contacting the glass or inner wall cannot be recovered, leading to rapid moisture loss. When hot dishes are kept warm for a long time, the internal moisture evaporates quickly, making them dry and hard, affecting the original texture and flavor of the food. At the same time, when the lid is opened, condensation on the lid falls off and spills onto the placement platform, requiring constant manual wiping. To address this, we propose a dry-type electric buffet oven with a condensation collection function. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a dry electric self-service oven with condensate collection function, which can reduce the loss of food moisture, improve the quality and appearance of food, maintain the fresh taste and soft texture of food, reduce the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance, and effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dry electric self-service oven with condensate collection function, comprising an outer frame, a heating base provided on the lower inner side of the outer frame, and a collection component;

[0007] The collection component includes a water tank, a first groove, a second groove, and a mesh. The water tank is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner side of the outer frame. The bottom of the water tank is located inside the heating base. The front, back, left, and right outer surfaces of the water tank are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame. The upper surface of the upper stepped surface of the water tank has a first groove, and the bottom edge of the water tank has a second groove. The bottom wall of the water tank has evenly distributed mesh. A food bowl is placed inside the upper part of the water tank, which can reduce the loss of moisture from the food, improve the quality and appearance of the food, maintain the fresh taste and soft texture of the food, and reduce the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.

[0008] Furthermore, a control switch is provided on the front side of the heating base, and the input end of the control switch is electrically connected to an external power source to provide electrical connection for the appliances.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the heating base is provided with a guide groove, and a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the guide groove to facilitate the discharge of excess condensate.

[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the flow channel is equipped with an electric heating tube, the input end of which is electrically connected to the output end of a control switch to achieve heating inside the oven.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom end of the heating base is connected to a bottom cover by bolts. The edge of the bottom cover has evenly distributed through holes, and the center of the bottom cover has a perforation corresponding to the guide pipe to protect the electrical components at the bottom of the stove.

[0012] Furthermore, the rear side of the heating base is provided with a support base, and the top of the support base is hinged to a cover. An observation port is provided in the middle of the cover for easy observation.

[0013] Furthermore, the observation port is equipped with glass to ensure the cleanliness of the food.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the upper edge of the food bowl contacts the upper surface of the upper step of the water tank, the mouth of the food bowl is located inside the first groove, the bottom of the food bowl is located inside the water tank, and there is a gap between the bottom of the food bowl and the bottom wall of the water tank, which facilitates the placement of food.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This dry-type electric self-service oven with condensate collection function has the following advantages:

[0016] The first groove on the upper surface of the water tank collects condensation dripping from the lid, preventing water droplets from falling directly onto the food. The second groove on the bottom edge of the water tank collects condensation on the inner wall of the tank, preventing condensation from flowing freely inside. The condensation is trapped in the first and second grooves for secondary evaporation. Excess condensation flows through the mesh into the guide channel inside the heating base and is drained away through the guide pipe. This effectively collects the condensation generated inside the oven, reducing moisture loss from the food, locking in moisture, and preserving the original taste. It also prevents water from spilling onto the oven platform when opening the lid to take out the food, reducing the workload for staff. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a technical solution: a dry-type electric self-service oven with condensate collection function, including an outer frame 4, a heating base 11 located on the lower side of the inner side of the outer frame 4, and a collection component 3. A control switch 12 is located on the front side of the heating base 11, the input end of which is electrically connected to an external power source. A guide groove 5 is formed on the bottom wall of the heating base 11, and a guide pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the guide groove 5. An electric heating tube 6 is located inside the guide groove 5 (the electric heating tube 6 adopts a commonly used electric heating tube in the prior art; current passes through the internal resistance wire of the heating tube to generate heat, which is then transferred to the surface of the metal tube through a heat-conducting medium (such as magnesium oxide powder), ultimately heating the target medium or object). The input end of tube 6 is electrically connected to the output end of control switch 12. The bottom end of heating base 11 is connected to bottom cover 8 by bolts. The edge of bottom cover 8 is provided with evenly distributed through holes. The middle of bottom cover 8 is provided with through hole corresponding to guide tube 7. The rear side of heating base 11 is provided with support seat. The top of support seat is hinged to cover 2 by hinge 9. The middle of cover 2 is provided with observation port. The inside of observation port is provided with glass 1. When the electric self-service oven needs to be used, first put the food into food basin 10, open the hinged cover 2, place it on the top of water tank 21, and after control switch 12 turns on the power, control electric heating tube 6 to start working and heat the air in heating base 11.

[0024] Collection component 3 includes a water tank 31, a first groove 32, a second groove 33, and a mesh 34. The water tank 31 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner side of the outer frame 4. The bottom of the water tank 31 is located inside the heating base 11. The front, back, left, and right outer surfaces of the water tank 31 are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 4. The upper surface of the upper stepped surface of the water tank 31 has a first groove 32. The bottom edge of the water tank 31 has a second groove 33. The middle of the bottom wall of the water tank 31 has evenly distributed mesh 34. A food bowl 10 is placed inside the upper part of the water tank 31. The mouth of the food bowl 10 is located inside the first groove 32. The bottom of the food bowl 10 is located inside the water tank 31. There is a gap between the bottom of the food bowl 10 and the bottom wall of the water tank 31. When the upper edge of the food bowl 10 overlaps the upper stepped surface of the water tank 31, the upper edge of the food bowl 10 does not completely cover the first groove 32, and the upper edge of the food bowl 10... Located entirely within the inner ring of groove 32, during the heating process, the food in the food bowl evaporates into water vapor after being heated. This water vapor condenses into water upon contact with glass 1. Groove 32 on the upper surface of water tank 31 collects the condensate dripping from lid 2, preventing water droplets from falling directly onto the food. Groove 33 on the bottom edge of water tank 31 collects the water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the water tank, preventing the condensate from flowing freely inside the water tank. The condensate is trapped in grooves 32 and 33 for secondary evaporation, locking in the moisture of the food and preventing it from losing water too quickly, which would affect the taste. In addition, the mesh 34 in the middle of the bottom wall of water tank 31 allows a small amount of steam generated during the heating process to pass through, while preventing food residue from falling into the heating base. If there is too much condensate, it will flow through the mesh 34 into the guide channel 5 inside the heating base 11 and be discharged through the guide pipe 7, effectively collecting the generated condensate.

[0025] The working principle of the dry-type electric buffet stove with condensate collection function provided by this utility model is as follows: When the electric buffet stove is needed, first put the food into the food bowl 10, open the hinged lid 2, place it on the top of the water tank 21, and after the control switch 12 is turned on, the heating element 6 starts to work, heating the air in the heating base 11. During the heating process, the food in the food bowl evaporates water vapor after being heated. The water vapor will condense into water when it comes into contact with the glass 1. The groove 32 on the upper surface of the water tank 31 can collect the condensate dripping from the lid 2, preventing water droplets from dripping directly onto the food. On the surface, the groove 33 on the bottom edge of the water tank 31 is used to collect water droplets condensed on the inner wall of the water tank, preventing condensate from flowing freely inside the water tank. The condensate is trapped in the groove 32 and the groove 33 respectively for secondary evaporation to lock in the moisture of the food and prevent the food from losing water too quickly, which would affect the taste. In addition, the mesh 34 in the middle of the bottom wall of the water tank 31 allows a small amount of steam generated during the heating process to pass through, while preventing food residue from falling into the heating base. If there is too much condensate, it will flow into the guide groove 5 in the heating base 11 through the mesh 34 and be discharged through the guide pipe 7, effectively collecting the generated condensate.

[0026] It is worth noting that the control switch 12 disclosed in the above embodiments is provided with a control button corresponding to the heating element 6 and used to control its switch. The operation can be carried out using methods commonly used in the prior art.
