Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-head steam condensate direct discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] A steam oven, also known as an electric steamer, is a kitchen appliance that uses high-temperature direct-injection steam to cook food. It belongs to the steam oven category. It converts water into steam through a steam generator; some models can generate high-temperature steam within 10 seconds, reaching a maximum temperature of 300℃. The core operating mode includes a circulating convection system for even heating. This product offers two steam modes: normal steam (100-150℃) and high-temperature steam (200-250℃), suitable for vegetables, eggs, seafood, and meats. Some models are equipped with intelligent temperature control systems, 360-degree three-dimensional heating and circulating steam technology, and micro-pressure steaming function to ensure even heating of food while retaining moisture and vitamins. The inner pot is mostly made of 304 food-grade stainless steel, which has corrosion-resistant properties. Some models feature intelligent menu systems and automatic intermittent water filling devices, and support degreasing and salt reduction functions to maintain the original flavor of food.

[0003] However, existing steam generators are connected to steam ovens by pipes. Steam travels through the pipes to the steam outlet. During the heating and flow process, the steam will produce condensate due to the temperature difference. This condensate will be discharged through the steam outlet along with the steam. The condensate will adhere to the surface of the food and affect the taste. In particular, if there is too much condensate on pasta, the surface of the pasta will be corroded, which will seriously affect the taste and appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-head steam condensate direct discharge device, which effectively improves the problems of traditional devices that require manual discharge of condensate, steam holes that are easily blocked by food, and steam leakage during drainage. It realizes automatic circulation and discharge of condensate, easy cleaning and anti-clogging of steam holes, and precise sealing to prevent steam leakage, thereby improving the convenience of using the steam oven and the stability of steam output.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: A multi-head steam condensate direct discharge device includes a steam chamber, a drain section, and a steam oven panel. The steam chamber is cylindrical, and condensate is collected in the steam chamber. The drain section is located at the bottom of the steam chamber, through which the condensate is discharged. The steam oven panel is located at the top of the steam chamber, and the top of the steam chamber is welded to the bottom of the steam oven panel. The drain section includes a drain pipe and a float. The top of the drain pipe is welded to the bottom of the steam chamber, and the drain pipe communicates with the interior of the steam chamber. The float is located at the top of the drain pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, the steam chamber includes a cavity, a support platform, and a slag-straining plate. The float ball is disposed inside the cavity. The support platform is circular. The outer side of the support platform is welded to the inner side of the cavity. A slag-straining plate is disposed at the top of the support platform. The slag-straining plate is snapped into the steam furnace panel and is limited by the support platform.

[0007] Furthermore, a steam inlet pipe is welded to the right end of the cavity, and the steam inlet pipe communicates with the inside of the cavity. The other end of the steam inlet pipe is connected to a solenoid valve, and steam enters the cavity under the control of the solenoid valve.

[0008] Furthermore, the slag baffle plate is provided with steam outlet holes, and the steam outlet holes are arrayed on the slag baffle plate, through which steam is output.

[0009] Furthermore, the drain pipe is provided with an overflow outlet and a drain outlet. The overflow outlet is located at the top of the drain pipe and is higher than the bottom surface of the cavity. The drain outlet is located below the cavity. Condensate enters the drain pipe through the overflow outlet and is discharged through the drain outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, the float includes a limiting ring, a float rod, a ball, and a sealing ring. The limiting ring is slidably connected to the top of the drain pipe. A float rod is welded to the top of the limiting ring. The top end of the float rod is inserted into the bottom end of the ball. The sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the float rod, and the top surface of the sealing ring is in close contact with the bottom surface of the float.

[0011] Furthermore, the float is adjusted in height by the water level of the condensate, the sealing ring is inserted into the overflow port as the float descends, and the sealing ring leaves the overflow port as the float rises, allowing the condensate to drain through the overflow port into the drain outlet.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. A float ball is used. When the condensate water reaches a certain height, the buoyancy will lift the float ball away from the condensate drain. Since the steam inlet is pressurized, the condensate water will be drained quickly. The float ball will fall due to its own weight, causing the sealing ring to block the condensate drain. This cycle repeats to achieve automatic drainage. 2. A slag-straining plate is used, which allows steam to be output from the steam holes while preventing food from falling into the steam chamber and affecting the steam output. The slag-straining plate can be disassembled and cleaned, ensuring the steam delivery effect of the steam holes. 3. A limit ring is selected to prevent the float ball from leaving the drain pipe, so that the sealing ring can be accurately plugged in the drain outlet by water pressure after the condensate is drained, preventing steam leakage.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] This utility model discloses a multi-head steam condensate direct discharge device, including a steam chamber 1, a drain section 2, and a steam oven panel 3. The steam chamber 1 is cylindrical, and steam is output to the steam oven panel 3 through the steam chamber 1. Condensate is generated during the steam output process and is collected in the steam chamber 1. The drain section 2 is located at the bottom of the steam chamber 1, and the condensate is discharged through the drain section 2. The steam oven panel 3 is located at the top of the steam chamber 1, and food is placed on the steam oven panel 3 for cooking. The top of the steam chamber 1 is welded to the bottom surface of the steam oven panel 3. The steam chamber 1 includes a cavity body 11, a support platform 12, and a slag-separating plate 13. The support platform 12 is circular, and the outer side of the support platform 12 is welded to the inner side of the cavity body 11. The top of the support platform 12 is supported by the slag-separating plate 13, which is snapped into the steam oven panel 3. The slag-separating plate 13 is limited by the support platform 12. While outputting steam, the slag-separating plate 13 prevents food from falling into the steam chamber 1 and affecting the steam output. The slag-separating plate 13 can be disassembled and cleaned to ensure the steam transmission effect of the steam holes. A steam inlet pipe 111 is welded to the right end of the cavity 11, and the steam inlet pipe 111 communicates with the interior of the cavity 11. Steam is pressurized and enters the cavity through the steam inlet pipe 111. The other end of the steam inlet pipe 111 is connected to a solenoid valve 112, which is controlled by the touch panel of the steam oven. Steam enters the steam inlet pipe 111 under the control of the solenoid valve 112. Steam outlet holes 131 are provided on the slag-straining plate 13, and the steam outlet holes 131 are arrayed on the slag-straining plate 13. Steam is output through the steam outlet holes 131 to complete the cooking of food. See details below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 .

[0017] The drainage section 2 includes a drain pipe 21 and a float 22. The top end of the drain pipe 21 is welded to the bottom of the steam chamber 1, and the drain pipe 21 communicates with the interior of the steam chamber 1. The drain pipe 21 discharges the condensate inside the steam chamber 1. The float 22 is located at the top end of the drain pipe 21, and the top end of the drain pipe 21 passes through the bottom surface of the cavity 11 and enters the interior of the cavity 11. The drain pipe 21 is provided with an overflow port 211 and a drain outlet 212. The overflow port 211 is located at the top end of the drain pipe 21 and is higher than the bottom surface of the cavity 11. The drain outlet 212 is located below the cavity 11. When the water level of the condensate exceeds the height of the overflow port 211, the float 22 rises due to the buoyancy of the condensate, the overflow port 211 opens, and the condensate enters the drain pipe 21 through the overflow port 211 and is discharged through the drain outlet 212. The float 22 includes a limiting ring 221, a float rod 222, a ball 223, and a sealing ring 224. The limiting ring 221 is slidably connected to the top of the drain pipe 21. The float rod 222 is welded to the top of the limiting ring 221, and the top end of the float rod 222 is inserted into the bottom end of the ball 223. The sealing ring 224 is sleeved on the outside of the float rod 222, with the top surface of the sealing ring 224 tightly against the bottom surface of the float 22. The limiting ring 221 prevents the float 22 from leaving the drain pipe 21, allowing the sealing ring 224 to be precisely plugged into the drain outlet 212 by water pressure after the condensate is drained, preventing steam leakage. The float 22 is cooled... The condensate water level is regulated by the sealing ring 224 being lowered by the float 22 and plugged into the overflow port 211. The sealing ring 224 is then lifted away from the overflow port 211 by the rising float 22. Condensate flows through the overflow port 211 into the drain port 212 for drainage. When the condensate reaches a certain height, buoyancy lifts the float 22 away from the condensate drain port 212. Due to the pressure at the steam outlet 131, the condensate is quickly drained. The float 22 then descends due to its own weight, causing the sealing ring 224 to block the condensate drain port 212. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving automatic drainage. See details... Figure 3 .

[0018] Operating procedures 1. When there is no condensate in the steam chamber 1, the float 22 will block the top of the drain pipe 21 due to its own weight and the drop in steam pressure; 2. Open the solenoid valve 112, and steam is pressurized and input into the cavity 11 through the steam inlet, and then output on the steam oven panel 3 through the steam outlet 131; 3. When steam is output, the condensate generated by the steam is collected inside the cavity 11. As the water level of the condensate rises, the float 22 is lifted by buoyancy. At this time, the sealing ring 224 leaves the drain pipe 21, and the condensate with a water level higher than the overflow port 211 is quickly discharged. 4. After the condensate is drained, the float 22 will drop again due to its own weight and steam pressure, blocking the top of the cold drain pipe 21; 5. The automatic drainage is completed through repeated cycles.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
