Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a solenoid valve sealing structure and a steam oven. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the increasing market demand for steam ovens, manufacturers in various regions have launched dual-cavity steam and bake ovens. Given China's long-standing dietary habits, steaming is a frequently used cooking method; therefore, the typical configuration of a dual-cavity steam and bake oven is one cavity dedicated to steaming, and the other cavity combining steaming and baking.

[0003] Existing structures that achieve steam generation in both chambers can use two independent steam generation systems (two water pumps, two water level detectors, and two steam generators), but the high cost of their electrical components leads to a higher overall manufacturing cost. A single steam generator solution requires a solenoid valve to control the independent steam passages in both chambers. However, traditional solenoid valves typically have two sealing rings: one for the gap between the valve body and the coil body, and another for controlling the internal flow of steam within the valve body. With this structure, steam entering the valve body travels to the guide chamber and then into the coil body, causing the coil temperature to become excessively high and potentially damaging the solenoid valve.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a solenoid valve sealing structure, including a valve body 1 and a coil body 2. The valve body 1 has a flow channel 11 facing the coil body 2, which connects an air inlet channel 12 and an air outlet channel 13 within the valve body 1. By controlling the opening and closing of the flow channel 11, the solenoid valve can be opened and closed. The coil body 2 has a valve stem 21 extending towards the flow channel 11, and a sealing gasket 3 is provided on the valve stem 21. The outer periphery of the sealing gasket 3 is sandwiched between the valve body 1 and the coil body 2, and the middle portion of the sealing gasket 3 can be releasably sealed to close the flow channel 11.

[0034] The solenoid valve sealing structure provided in this embodiment of the invention controls the valve stem 21 to move axially, thereby deforming the middle part of the sealing gasket 3 to open or close the flow channel 11, thus controlling the on / off state of the entire solenoid valve. Simultaneously, the outer edge of the sealing gasket 3 is sandwiched between the valve body 1 and the coil body 2, and the middle part of the sealing gasket 3 has no passage for steam, preventing steam from entering the coil body 2 and affecting the coil temperature rise. Furthermore, the sealing gasket 3 completely covers the flow channel 11, eliminating concerns about size discrepancies between the valve body sealing surface and the sealing gasket 3, which could lead to poor sealing of the valve body 1. The solenoid valve sealing structure provided in this embodiment of the invention effectively ensures sealing performance while preventing direct contact between high-temperature steam and the coil, thus preventing excessive temperature rise in the solenoid valve. Moreover, the use of a single sealing gasket improves the overall sealing integrity and sealing effect compared to existing double-sealing ring structures.

[0035] In order to achieve deformation and sealing effects, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing gasket 3 is made of silicone material.

[0036] To improve the sealing effect of the flow channel 11, such as Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing gasket 3 protrudes from the center toward the flow channel 11, forming a sealing step 31. This sealing step 31 can more effectively seal the flow channel 11.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a mounting plate 4 is fixedly provided on the side of the sealing gasket 3 away from the flow channel 11, and the middle part of the mounting plate 4 is connected to the end of the valve stem 21. The mounting plate 4 facilitates the connection between the sealing gasket 3 and the valve stem 21. Simultaneously, the presence of the mounting plate 4 allows the area where the middle part of the sealing gasket 3 connects to the mounting plate 4 to deform simultaneously, improving the sealing effect on the flow channel 11.

[0038] To facilitate the installation of the sealing gasket 3, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing gasket 3 and the mounting plate 4 are detachably connected. For example, the mounting plate 4 is provided with a plug 41, and the sealing gasket 3 is provided with a socket 32 ​​corresponding to the plug 41. Preferably, the plug 41 and the socket 32 ​​are interference-fitted to prevent steam from escaping from the socket 32 ​​toward the coil body 2.

[0039] To facilitate the displacement of the mounting plate 4 by the valve stem 21, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate 4 has a connecting cylinder 42 protruding towards the coil body 2 in the middle. The end of the valve stem 21 is T-shaped and located inside the connecting cylinder 42. The connecting cylinder 42 has a limiting boss 43, which can abut against the side of the valve stem 21 away from the flow channel 11 to prevent it from sliding out of the connecting cylinder 42. By applying force to the limiting boss 43, the valve stem 21 can cause the middle part of the sealing gasket 3 to deform away from the flow channel 11.

[0040] To facilitate the positioning of the mounting plate 4 and the sealing gasket 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing gasket 3 has a recessed portion 33 on the side facing the coil body 2, and the mounting plate 4 has a protrusion 44 corresponding to the recessed portion 33. The protrusion 44 of the mounting plate 4 is inserted into the recessed portion 33 of the sealing gasket 3, which facilitates quick assembly of the two.

[0041] To improve the sealing effect between the valve body 1 and the coil body 2, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the outer periphery of the sealing gasket 3 is provided with an annular sealing portion 34, which is located between the valve body 1 and the coil body 2, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing steam and external gas from entering the coil body 2. For ease of installation, the sealing surface of the valve body 1 and / or the coil body 2 is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the sealing portion 34.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the coil body 2 is further provided with a guide chamber 22, and the valve stem 21 is disposed in the guide chamber 22 to guide the movement of the valve stem 21. Further, the outer edge of the sealing gasket 3 is disposed between the guide chamber 22 and the valve body 1. Further, a return spring 23 is provided between the valve stem 21 and the guide chamber 22. During assembly, the valve stem 21, the mounting plate 4, and the sealing gasket 3 are assembled into a sealing assembly. The guide chamber 22 is inserted into the coil body 2, the return spring 23 is inserted into the guide chamber 22, and then the sealing assembly is installed into the guide chamber 22. Finally, the valve body 1 and the coil body 2 are fixed together with screws. After the solenoid valve is fully assembled, the outer edge of the sealing gasket 3 is clamped between the guide chamber 22 and the valve body 1, forming a sealing surface for the gap between the valve body 1 and the coil body 2. After the solenoid valve is fully assembled, the coil is not energized. The return spring 23 placed between the valve stem 21 and the guide chamber 22 is designed with a certain amount of compression. This allows the return spring 23 to exert a force on the valve stem 21, causing the sealing gasket 3 to be tightly pressed against the flow port 11 of the valve body 1. The air inlet channel 12 and the air outlet channel 13 of the valve body 1 are not connected. After the coil is energized, the valve stem 21 moves towards the end of the return spring 23 through the guide chamber 22. Although the outer edge of the sealing gasket 3 is clamped between the guide chamber 22 and the valve body 1 and will not move, the silicone sealing gasket 3 is soft. The middle part of the sealing gasket 3 will elastically deform with the valve stem 21 and move upward, making the air inlet channel 12 and the air outlet channel 13 of the valve body 1 connected.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, this utility model also provides a steam oven, including the aforementioned solenoid valve sealing structure. Specifically, the steam oven has two steam pipes 5, which lead to different cavities 6 respectively. Both steam pipes 5 are equipped with the aforementioned solenoid valve sealing structure, and by controlling the on / off state of each solenoid valve, steam can be supplied to different cavities 6.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
