[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 5 For ease of display, Figure 1 The side panel structure of the steam oven body 3 is hidden inside. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The side panel structure of the body 3 and the cooking cavity 4 of the steam oven are hidden in the middle. This application provides an easy-to-clean steam oven, which includes a heating component 1 and a water storage section 2. The heating component 1 is used to heat the water in the water storage section 2 to generate steam for cooking.
[0041] In one possible embodiment, the heating component 1 is rotatably disposed within the body 3 of the steam oven. The heating component 1 can be rotatably disposed on the body 3 of the steam oven through a structure including but not limited to hinges and hinge seats. The heating component 1 can rotate relative to the body 3 between a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle. The heating component 1 can rotate relative to the body 3 and be locked at the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle, so that when the heating component 1 is in use, it can be rotated to a position adjacent to or in contact with the water storage part 2, and when the heating component 1 is not in use, it can be lifted up.
[0042] Optionally, the water storage unit 2 can be installed inside the body 3 of the steam oven. The water storage unit 2 can be fixedly installed inside the body 3 of the steam oven, or it can be detachably installed inside the body 3 of the steam oven. The water storage unit 2 is located below the heating component 1.
[0043] When the heating component 1 rotates relative to the body 3 to the first rotation angle, the heating component 1 is disposed adjacent to or attached to the water storage section 2, and the heating component 1 is used to heat the water in the water storage section 2 to generate steam. When the heating component 1 rotates relative to the body 3 to the second rotation angle, the heating component 1 is lifted off the water storage section 2.
[0044] In the embodiments of this application, the user can rotate the heating component 1 relative to the body 3 at a relative angle, so that when cooking with a steam oven is needed, the heating component 1 can be rotated to a first rotation angle relative to the body 3 to heat the water in the water storage 2 to generate steam, and when the water storage 2 needs to be cleaned, the heating component 1 can be rotated to a second rotation angle relative to the body 3 to clean the water storage 2, thereby making it convenient for the user to clean.
[0045] In addition to the steam heating mode in which the heating element 1 and the water storage unit 2 work together, the steam oven in this application can also be used as an independent heat source by draining the water in the water storage unit 2 to the outside of the water storage unit 2, so that the heating element 1 can be used as an independent heat source to cook and bake the food in the steam oven alone, thus realizing the dual-purpose function of the steam oven.
[0046] In one possible embodiment, the water storage section 2 includes a downwardly recessed water storage cavity 21, which can be connected to a water inlet on the outside or inside of the steam oven.
[0047] Optionally, the position of the water storage cavity 21 corresponds to the position of the heating component 1. The water storage cavity 21 can be located below the heating component 1. When the heating component 1 rotates relative to the body 3 to the first rotation angle, the water storage cavity 21 accommodates the heating component 1. The water in the water storage cavity 21 can directly submerge the heating component 1, thereby enabling the heating component 1 to heat the water in the water storage cavity 21.
[0048] In one possible embodiment, the bottom side of the water storage cavity 21 is provided with a plurality of boss structures 211, and the plurality of boss structures 211 and the water storage cavity 21 divide the cavity of the water storage cavity 21 into at least one heating area 22 and at least one water storage area 23.
[0049] Optionally, at least one heating zone 22 is the area where the heating component 1 directly heats the steam, at least one heating zone 22 is used to house the heating component 1, at least one water storage zone 23 is the area for storing water, at least one water storage zone 23 and at least one heating zone 22 are connected to each other so that cooking water can flow through at least one water storage zone 23 into at least one heating zone 22, at least one water storage zone 23 can be connected to a water inlet outside or inside the steam oven.
[0050] Optionally, the shape of at least one heating region 22 may correspond to the shape of the heating component 1, and the size of at least one heating region 22 may be slightly larger than the size of the heating component 1.
[0051] Among them, several boss structures 211 divide the water storage cavity 21 into a heating area 22 and a water storage area 23, so that during the heating process of the heating component 1, the heating component 1 first directly heats the water in the heating area 22. When the water in the heating area 22 decreases, the water in the water storage area 23 can flow into the heating area 22, thereby forming a continuous heating of a small amount of water by the heating component 1. Compared with the previous scheme of heating the water in the entire water storage section 2 by the heating component 1, the energy loss of the heating component 1 during the heating process is reduced.
[0052] In one possible embodiment, during the steam heating process of the steam oven, the water level in the heating zone 22 is higher than the top of the heating component 1 by a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance can be between 0.5 mm and 1 mm. This design allows the entire surface of the heating component 1 to be submerged in the water in the water storage section 2, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating component 1 and reducing heat loss.
[0053] In one possible embodiment, when the body 3 rotates to the first rotation angle, the heating component 1 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the water storage cavity 21, at which time the water storage cavity 21 completely accommodates the heating component 1.
[0054] When the body 3 rotates to the second rotation angle, the heating component 1 is set perpendicular to the bottom of the water storage chamber 21. At this time, the heating component 1 no longer obstructs the water storage chamber 21, making it convenient for the user to clean.
[0055] In one possible embodiment, a cooking cavity 4 is provided inside the body 3 of the steam oven. The cooking cavity 4 can be fixedly installed inside the body 3 of the steam oven, or it can be detachably installed inside the body 3 of the steam oven.
[0056] Optionally, the water storage section 2 is connected to the cooking cavity 4, and the hot steam generated by the heating component 1 in the water storage section 2 can flow into the cooking cavity 4, thereby enabling the cooking and heating of the food.
[0057] Optionally, the cooking cavity 4 can be detachably connected to the body 3 of the steam oven. Users can remove the cooking cavity 4 from the body 3 as needed, thereby removing the obstruction between the cooking cavity 4 and the heating element 1 and the water storage section 2 for easier cleaning.
[0058] In one possible embodiment, the cooking cavity 4 is located on top of the water storage section 2 and the heating component 1, and the cooking cavity 4, the heating component 1 and the water storage section 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the body 3 of the steam oven.
[0059] Optionally, at least one air inlet 41 is provided on the bottom side of the cooking cavity 4. The hot steam generated by the heating component 1 in the water storage section 2 can flow through at least one air inlet 41 into the cooking cavity 4, thereby steam heating the food in the cooking cavity 4.
[0060] In one possible embodiment, a cooking rack structure 42 is provided inside the cooking cavity 4. The cooking rack structure 42 can be used to place food ingredients, and the cooking rack structure 42 can be a baking pan.
[0061] Optionally, the cooking rack structure 42 may include at least one oil baffle 421 corresponding to at least one air inlet 41, with each oil baffle 421 located above the air inlet 41 corresponding to each oil baffle 421.
[0062] In one possible embodiment, the inner wall size of the air inlet end of the air inlet 41 is larger than the inner wall size of the air outlet end of the air inlet 41, thereby accelerating the flow of water vapor in the water storage section 2 into the cooking cavity 4.
[0063] In one possible embodiment, the water storage section 2 is detachably disposed inside the body 3 of the steam oven, and the water storage section 2 can be removed from the steam oven, thereby further facilitating the user to clean the water storage section 2 inside the steam oven.
[0064] Optionally, the water storage section 2 is a water storage box, which can be an upward-opening water storage box.
[0065] Optionally, heating component 1 may include a heating tube.
