[0038] As described in the background section, inaccurate water level detection can occur when using a steam cooking device. Research has revealed that this problem arises because the glue inside the guide rod forms a column. During steam cooking in steam mode, this column, when heated, shifts within the guide rod. This shift causes the reed switch to move to a preset position, preventing the reed in the water level detection component from closing due to magnetic attraction when the float reaches the preset position. Consequently, no signal is generated when the water level reaches the preset level, resulting in inaccurate water level detection.

[0039] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a water level detection component, a steam cooking device, and an integrated stove. An anti-detachment structure is incorporated, connecting the guide rod and the adhesive column. This structure applies force to the adhesive column, preventing it from shifting within the cavity of the guide rod. This, in turn, prevents the reed switch from shifting to a preset position within the cavity, ensuring accurate water level detection when using the steam cooking device.

[0040] The water level detection component, steam cooking device, and integrated stove provided in this utility model embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0041] This invention provides a water level detection component for use in the steam cooking device of an integrated stove. During steam cooking, the water level detection component is used to detect the water level.

[0042] See Figure 1 As shown, the water level detection component includes a main body 10 and an end cap 20, which are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0043] The water level detection assembly also includes a guide rod 30. The guide rod 30 is threadedly connected to the end cap 20.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide rod 30 extends along the X direction. The guide rod 30 has a cavity 301, which may be cylindrical. The guide rod 30 also has an opening 302 communicating with the cavity 301. The opening 302 is located on one side of the cavity 301 in the +X direction. It should be noted that there is no opening on the -X direction side of the cavity 301.

[0045] See Figure 4 As shown, the water level detection assembly also includes a reed switch 40. The reed switch 40 includes two magnetic reeds. The reed switch 40 is disposed within the cavity 301.

[0046] The water level detection assembly also includes a glue column 42. The glue column 42 fills the cavity 301 and is used to fix the reed switch 40 in the cavity 301.

[0047] In some examples, glue is filled into the cavity 301 through the opening 302, and the glue wraps around the reed switch 40. After the glue solidifies, it forms a glue column 42. The glue column 42 is bonded to the inner wall of the cavity 301, so that the glue column 42 can fix the reed switch 40 in the cavity 301.

[0048] When the steam cooking device is manufactured, the reed switch 40 is set in the preset position within the cavity 301.

[0049] The water level detection assembly also includes an anti-detachment structure that connects the guide rod 30 and the rubber column 42. This design allows the anti-detachment structure to apply force to the rubber column 42, preventing it from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30. This, in turn, prevents the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301, ensuring accurate water level detection when using the steam cooking device.

[0050] In some examples, the water level detection component also includes a float. The float moves up and down along the X direction as the water level changes.

[0051] When the magnet inside the float moves to the preset position, the magnetic field magnetizes the reeds of the reed switch 40, causing them to attract each other and close, thus connecting the circuit. The reed switch 40 then outputs a high water level signal through the wire 41. The high water level signal indicates that the water level has reached the predetermined state.

[0052] When the magnet inside the float does not move to the preset position, the reed switch 40 snaps open, breaking the circuit, and the reed switch 40 outputs a low water level signal through the wire 41. The low water level signal indicates that the water level has not reached the predetermined state.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the anti-detachment structure includes an anti-detachment cover 50, which is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 30 having an opening 302. The side of the anti-detachment cover 50 facing the cavity 301 abuts against the rubber column 42. With this configuration, after the anti-detachment cover 50 is fixed to the guide rod 30, the anti-detachment cover 50 can apply force to the rubber column 42, confining the rubber column 42 within the cavity 301. This prevents the rubber column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30 and detaching from the opening 302, thereby preventing the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. Consequently, when using the steam cooking device, the water level detection component can accurately detect the water level.

[0054] The anti-detachment cover 50 can be fixedly connected to the guide rod 30 by snap-fit, by thread, or by other means.

[0055] In some examples, the anti-detachment cap 50 is located outside the guide rod 30, and the anti-detachment cap 50 is engaged with the end of the guide rod 30 having an opening 302. With this configuration, the anti-detachment cap 50 can be pressed to engage with the guide rod 30, thus fixing the anti-detachment cap 50 to the guide rod 30.

[0056] Among them, see Figure 5 As shown, the anti-detachment cap 50 may be provided with a slot 501, and the guide rod 30 may be provided with a buckle 303, so that the anti-detachment cap 50 and the guide rod 30 are engaged. In other embodiments, the anti-detachment cap 50 may also be provided with a buckle 303, and the guide rod 30 may be provided with a slot 501, so that the anti-detachment cap 50 and the guide rod 30 are engaged.

[0057] For example, the anti-detachment cover 50 has a recess that can cover one end of the guide rod 30 with an opening 302. A slot 501 is provided on the inner side of the anti-detachment cover 50, and a buckle 303 is provided on the outer side of the guide rod 30, which engages in the slot 501. Pressing the anti-detachment cover 50 along the -X direction engages it with the guide rod 30. With this configuration, after the anti-detachment cover 50 is fixed to the guide rod 30, it can cover the end of the guide rod 30 with an opening 302, preventing the glue column 42 from detaching from the opening 302 during steam cooking mode, thus confining the glue column 42 within the cavity 301 and preventing it from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30.

[0058] The anti-slip cover 50 can be cylindrical. The slot 501 can be set around the circumference of the anti-slip cover 50.

[0059] The end of the guide rod 30 with the opening 302 can be cylindrical, and the buckle 303 can be set around the circumference of the end of the guide rod 30 with the opening 302.

[0060] See Figure 6 As shown, the buckle 303 has an arc surface 3031 on one side in the +X direction and a locking surface 3032 on one side in the -X direction. During the installation of the anti-detachment cover 50 and the guide rod 30, the anti-detachment cover 50 can slide onto the locking surface 3032 via the arc surface 3031, and the anti-detachment cover 50 and the locking surface 3032 will engage. This design facilitates the installation of the anti-detachment cover 50 and the guide rod 30.

[0061] The contact surface 3032 is perpendicular to the X direction.

[0062] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 As shown, the anti-detachment cover 50 is provided with a cable outlet 502, and the reed switch 40 is connected to a wire 41, which passes through the cable outlet 502. This configuration, with the cable outlet 502 provided by the anti-detachment cover 50, facilitates wiring.

[0063] The shape of the outlet 502 is not specifically designed, as long as the wire 41 can pass through it.

[0064] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 As shown, the anti-detachment cap 50 is provided with an overflow port 503. During the installation of the anti-detachment cap 50 and the guide rod 30, the uncured glue can overflow through the overflow port 503, which can prevent the uncured glue from exerting force on the anti-detachment cap 50 and the risk of the anti-detachment cap 50 detaching from the guide rod 30.

[0065] The number of overflow outlets 503 can be one or more.

[0066] The shape of the glue overflow port 503 is not specifically set. For example, the shape of the glue overflow port 503 is arc-shaped.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the anti-detachment structure includes ribs 31 disposed on the inner wall of the cavity 301 (see...). Figure 3 As shown), in the extension direction of the guide rod 30, the end of the rib 31 facing away from the outlet 302 abuts against the rubber column 42.

[0068] Among them, see Figure 8 As shown, in the extending direction of the guide rod 30, the end of the rib 31 facing away from the opening 302 is the first limiting end 311, which abuts against the glue column 42. With this configuration, after the glue in the cavity 301 solidifies, the first limiting end 311 abuts against the glue column 42, applying force to the glue column 42 and limiting it within the cavity 301. This prevents the glue column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30, thereby preventing the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. Consequently, the water level detection component can accurately detect the water level when using the steam cooking device.

[0069] In some examples, the rib 31 extends along the X direction. The rib 31 may be integrally formed with the guide rod 30.

[0070] The cavity 301 is cylindrical in shape. In the circumferential direction of the cavity 301, a plurality of ribs 31 are provided on the inner wall of the cavity 301, and the plurality of ribs 31 are spaced apart.

[0071] See in some examples Figure 9 As shown, a protrusion 312 is provided on the rib 31. In the extending direction of the guide rod 30, one end of the protrusion 312 facing away from the opening 302 abuts against the glue column 42. Specifically, in the extending direction of the guide rod 30, the end of the protrusion 312 facing away from the opening 302 is the second limiting end 3121, which abuts against the glue column 42. With this configuration, when the glue in the cavity 301 solidifies, the second limiting end 3121 abuts against the glue column 42, and the second limiting end 3121 can apply a force to the glue column 42, limiting the glue column 42 within the cavity 301, preventing the glue column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30, thereby preventing the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. Consequently, the water level detection component can accurately detect the water level when using the steam cooking device.

[0072] It should be noted that the water level detection component can use only the anti-detachment cap 50 to prevent the glue column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30 and the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. Alternatively, it can use only the reinforcing rib 31 to prevent the glue column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30 and the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. It can also use both the anti-detachment cap 50 and the reinforcing rib 31 to prevent the glue column 42 from shifting within the cavity 301 of the guide rod 30 and the reed switch 40 from shifting to a preset position within the cavity 301. In this embodiment, the water level detection component uses both the anti-detachment cap 50 and the reinforcing rib 31.
