Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to an integrated stove. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated cooktops are kitchen appliances that combine multiple functions such as a range hood, steam oven, and oven. Among them, steam-baking integrated cooktops have become a current consumer hotspot due to their ability to simultaneously meet diverse needs such as steaming, baking, and cooking, as well as their advantages of high space utilization and good functional integration.

[0003] In related technologies, integrated cooktops include a cooktop frame with an internal mounting cavity. A cooking unit is embedded within this cavity, and the cooking unit has an inner liner containing a cooking chamber for cooking food. During use, especially under high-temperature steaming and baking conditions, the surface of the inner liner accumulates a large amount of grease and food residue. These stains, after being exposed to high temperatures, often adhere firmly to the inner liner wall, forming stubborn grime that is difficult to clean. Because the cooking unit is installed within the cooktop frame, it cannot be removed for cleaning of the inner liner; therefore, the cooking unit needs to be self-cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaning pipes within the cooking unit are difficult to connect to an external water source due to the obstruction of the cooktop frame. Therefore, a water tank and a wastewater box are installed within the cooking unit. The water tank stores cleaning water for cleaning the inner liner, and the wastewater box stores wastewater after cleaning.

[0004] However, in related technologies, the water tank and sewage box have limited water storage capacity, which leads to insufficient water supply during the cleaning process and affects the cleaning effect. In addition, the water tank and sewage box need to be repeatedly filled with water or the sewage needs to be emptied, which affects the cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides an integrated stove to solve the problems of limited water storage capacity in the water tank of the integrated stove, resulting in insufficient water supply during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning effect, as well as the problem of needing to repeatedly add water or empty wastewater from the water tank and wastewater tank, which affects the cleaning efficiency. This aims to improve the cleaning reliability of the integrated stove.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] This application provides an integrated stove, including: a cooking unit and a stove frame surrounding a mounting cavity, wherein the cooking unit is embedded in the mounting cavity; the cooking unit includes an inner liner, and a cooking cavity is formed inside the inner liner;

[0008] The stove frame has a water inlet connector and a drain connector on its side wall. The water inlet of the water inlet connector and the water outlet of the drain connector are both exposed outside the side wall of the stove frame. The water inlet of the water inlet connector is configured to be connected to an external water source, and the water outlet of the drain connector is configured to be connected to an external drainage channel.

[0009] The integrated stove also includes a spray assembly, which includes a spray head, an openable / closable water inlet pipe, and an openable / closable drain pipe. The spray head is located inside the cooking cavity, and the bottom of the inner liner has a water storage area communicating with the cooking cavity. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the outlet end of the water inlet connector, and the outlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the spray head. The inlet end of the drain pipe is connected to the water storage area, and the outlet end of the drain pipe is connected to the inlet end of the drain connector, so that external water is supplied to the spray head through the water inlet pipe to clean the cooking cavity. The water sprayed into the cooking cavity is stored in the water storage area and discharged into the external drainage channel through the drain pipe.

[0010] In this embodiment, by setting a water inlet connector and a drain connector on the integrated stove frame, the spray head at the top of the cooking cavity can be directly connected to an external water source through the water inlet connector, and the water storage area at the bottom of the cooking cavity can be directly connected to an external drainage channel through the drain connector. Therefore, when cleaning the cooking cavity, the water sprayed from the spray head to clean the cavity walls can be directly obtained from an external water source, and the wastewater after cleaning can be directly discharged to the external drainage channel, eliminating the need for a separate water tank and wastewater box. Thus, the cleaning process of the cooking cavity is not limited by the volume of the water tank and wastewater box, and there is no need to replace the water in the water tank and wastewater box, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency. Furthermore, both the water inlet of the water inlet connector and the drain of the drain connector are exposed outside the side wall of the stove frame, making it convenient and easy to connect the water inlet of the water inlet connector to the external water source and the drain of the drain connector to the external drainage channel, respectively. Furthermore, the water storage area allows the cleaning water sprayed from the shower head to directly spray and clean the top and side walls of the inner tank. During this process, the cleaning water can also accumulate along the side walls of the inner tank in the water storage area to soak the bottom wall of the inner tank. This soaking method effectively cleans the oil stains and food residue on the bottom wall of the inner tank, reducing cleaning dead spots, improving the cleaning reliability of the integrated stove, and further enhancing the cleaning effect of the integrated stove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the integrated stove further includes a mounting plate; a notch is provided on the side wall of the stove frame, the mounting plate is detachably installed at the notch, and the water inlet connector and the drain connector are fixed on the mounting plate.

[0012] This design reduces the difficulty of connecting the inlet and outlet connectors on the mounting plate to the external water source and external drainage channel, respectively.

[0013] In some embodiments, the mounting plate is provided with a first magnetic element, and the side wall of the stove frame is provided with a second magnetic element, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element being magnetically attracted to each other; or...

[0014] The mounting plate is provided with buckles, and the side wall of the stove frame is provided with slots, the buckles engaging with the slots; or...

[0015] It also includes threaded fasteners, through which the mounting plate is connected to the stove frame.

[0016] This design provides multiple detachable connection methods between the mounting plate and the stove frame, making the disassembly and installation of the mounting plate and the stove frame convenient and reliable.

[0017] In some embodiments, the spray assembly further includes a sealing gasket and a cleaning connector;

[0018] The cleaning connector is connected in series with the water inlet pipe; the cleaning connector passes through the top of the inner tank, with one end extending into the inner tank and connected to the spray head, and the other end located outside the inner tank and connected to the water outlet of the water inlet connector.

[0019] The sealing gasket is attached to the outer wall of the inner liner and extends circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the cleaning connector to seal the installation gap between the cleaning connector and the inner liner and prevent steam leakage from the inner liner.

[0020] This design reduces heat loss from the cooking cavity, improving the cooking efficiency and cleaning efficiency of the integrated stove.

[0021] In some embodiments, a heating element is provided at the bottom of the inner tank, the heating element being located below and / or on the outer periphery of the water storage area, the heating element being used to generate heat to heat the water in the water storage area;

[0022] The spray assembly also includes a cleaning pump. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water storage area. The cleaning pump is connected in series on the water supply pipe between the water storage area and the spray head. The cleaning pump is used to pump water from the water storage area into the spray head.

[0023] This design allows for high-temperature cleaning of stains on the inner wall of the stove using hot water, improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the inner wall can be pre-cleaned with hot water to enhance the effectiveness of removing stubborn grease and food residue.

[0024] In some embodiments, the cooking unit further includes a controller and a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor being connected in series on the water inlet pipe between the water storage area and the cleaning pump, and the temperature sensor and the heating element being electrically connected to the controller to control the temperature of the water in the water storage area.

[0025] This setting avoids wasting energy due to excessively high cleaning water temperature or causing low cleaning efficiency due to excessively low cleaning water temperature, thereby saving energy and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the integrated stove.

[0026] In some embodiments, the spray assembly further includes a flow meter and a solenoid valve. The flow meter and the solenoid valve are both connected in series on the inlet pipe between the water inlet connector and the water storage area. The flow meter is used to measure the amount of water entering the water storage area. The solenoid valve is signal-connected to the flow meter and is used to control the opening and closing of the inlet pipe.

[0027] This setting controls the amount of cleaning water, preventing excessive water from flooding the water storage area or insufficient water from failing to clean properly, thereby improving the cleaning reliability of the integrated stove.

[0028] In some embodiments, the spray assembly further includes a drain pump connected in series with the drain pipe. When the cleaning is finished, the drain pump is used to pump the wastewater in the water storage area into the external drain channel through the drain connector.

[0029] This setup eliminates the need for manual wastewater treatment, making it quick and convenient.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipeline includes a first water inlet pipe and a second water inlet pipe connected in sequence; the flow meter and the solenoid valve are connected in series on the first water inlet pipe, and the outlet end of the second water inlet pipe is connected to the water storage area;

[0031] The drainage pipeline includes a drainage pipe;

[0032] The spray assembly also includes an openable and closable control valve, which is connected in series between the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe. The drain pipe is connected between the outlet end of the control valve and an external drainage channel. When the outlet end of the control valve is opened, the second water inlet pipe and the drain pipe form the drainage pipeline.

[0033] This setup allows the second water inlet pipe to be assigned different inlet and outlet roles, thereby reducing the number of additional pipes, simplifying the piping of the integrated stove, and reducing costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe further includes a water inlet elbow, which is connected in series with the first water inlet pipe and located downstream of the solenoid valve and the flow meter, and a filter screen is provided at the water inlet end of the water inlet elbow.

[0035] This configuration ensures that the solenoid valve and flow meter are located in the straight section of the first inlet pipe, improving the flow meter's detection accuracy. The filter screen is installed to filter the clean water source, preventing clogging of subsequent pipes and spray heads. Furthermore, the filter screen can be easily replaced by removing the inlet elbow from the first inlet pipe.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity has a downwardly extending receiving groove, which forms the water storage area; a cover plate is detachably provided on the receiving groove, and there is a gap between the peripheral wall of the cover plate and the side wall of the receiving groove, so that water flowing to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity enters the water storage area through the gap.

[0037] To prevent large particles of dirt from entering the pipes, thereby reducing the pipe blockage rate and extending the service life of the integrated stove.

[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0065] Integrated cooktops are kitchen appliances that combine multiple functions such as a range hood, steam oven, and oven. Among them, steam-baking integrated cooktops have become a current consumer hotspot due to their ability to simultaneously meet diverse needs such as steaming, baking, and cooking, as well as their advantages of high space utilization and good functional integration.

[0066] In some embodiments, the integrated cooktop includes a cooktop frame with an internal mounting cavity. A cooking unit is embedded within this mounting cavity. The cooking unit has an inner liner with a cooking chamber for cooking food. During use, especially under high-temperature steaming and baking conditions, a large amount of grease and food residue accumulates on the surface of the inner liner. These stains, after being exposed to high temperatures, often adhere firmly to the inner liner wall, forming stubborn dirt that is difficult to clean. Therefore, the cooking unit is equipped with a clean water tank and a wastewater tank. The clean water tank stores water to clean the surface of the inner liner, while the wastewater tank collects wastewater. However, the clean water tank has a limited capacity, leading to insufficient water supply during cleaning and affecting the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the presence of the clean water tank and wastewater tank necessitates removing them from the cooktop frame for separate replacement of the clean water and wastewater treatment.

[0067] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an integrated stove as an improvement upon the aforementioned integrated stove.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated stove 100 includes a cooking unit and a stove frame 120 surrounding a mounting cavity 121. The cooking unit is embedded in the mounting cavity 121. The cooking unit includes an inner liner 111, and a cooking cavity 1114 is formed inside the inner liner 111. The cooking unit also includes a door, which is configured to open or close the cooking cavity 1114. When the food to be cooked is placed into the cooking cavity 1114 for steaming or baking, the door is in the closed state of the cooking cavity 1114.

[0069] like Figure 2As shown, the cooktop frame 120 has a water inlet connector 122 and a drain connector 123 on its side wall. The water inlet interface 1221 of the water inlet connector 122 is configured to connect to an external water source, and the water outlet interface 1231 of the drain connector 123 is configured to connect to an external drainage channel. It should be noted that the integrated cooktop 100 is a complete product, and the connection process of its water inlet connector 122 and drain connector 123 to the external water source and external drainage channel, respectively, requires the integrated cooktop 100 to be installed in a fixed position in the kitchen. Therefore, in this embodiment, the water inlet interface 1221 of the water inlet connector 122 and the water outlet interface 1231 of the drain connector 123 are both exposed outside the side wall of the cooktop frame 120 to facilitate the installation operation of connecting to the external water source and external drainage channel, respectively, and reduce the difficulty of the installation operation.

[0070] For example, the water inlet 1221 of the water inlet connector 122 is connected to the faucet through a delivery pipe so that the tap water in the faucet can be used as an external water source; the water outlet 1231 of the drain connector 123 is connected to the drainage system, sewage tank, etc. in the building through a delivery pipe so that the water can be discharged from the integrated stove 100 in a timely manner.

[0071] In addition, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the integrated stove 100 also includes a spray assembly 130, which includes a spray head 131, an openable and closable water inlet pipe 132, and an openable and closable drain pipe.

[0072] Combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the spray head 131 is located inside the cooking cavity 1114, and the bottom of the inner liner 111 has a water storage area 1112 communicating with the cooking cavity 1114. It should be noted that during the cooking process in the cooking cavity 1114, oil stains and food residue on the top and side walls of the inner liner 111 accumulate by splashing, while a large amount of oil stains and food residue accumulates on the bottom wall of the inner liner 111 by dripping. The water storage area 1112 on the bottom wall of the inner liner 111 allows the cleaning water sprayed from the spray head 131 to directly spray and clean the top and side walls of the inner liner 111. Simultaneously, the cleaning water can also accumulate along the side walls of the inner liner 111 in the water storage area 1112 to soak the bottom wall of the inner liner 111, thereby soaking and cleaning the oil stains and food residue on the bottom wall of the inner liner 111. This reduces cleaning dead spots, improves the cleaning reliability of the integrated stove 100, and ultimately improves the cleaning effect of the integrated stove 100.

[0073] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 132 is connected to the outlet end of the water inlet connector 122, and the outlet end of the water inlet pipe 132 is connected to the spray head 131. The inlet end of the drain pipe is connected to the water storage area 1112, and the outlet end of the drain pipe is connected to the inlet end of the drain connector 123, so that external water source supplies water to the spray head 131 through the water inlet pipe 132 to clean the cooking cavity 1114. The water sprayed into the cooking cavity 1114 is stored in the water storage area 1112 and discharged into the external drainage channel through the drain pipe.

[0074] For example, if the outlet end of the water inlet pipe 132 is directly connected to the spray head 131, the clean water flows sequentially through the external water source, the water inlet connector 122, the water inlet pipe 132, the spray head 131, and the water storage area 1112; the sewage flows sequentially through the water storage area 1112, the drainage pipe, the drainage connector 123, and the external drainage channel.

[0075] Another example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the spray assembly 130 also includes a cleaning pump 137. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe 132 is connected to the water storage area 1112. The cleaning pump 137 is connected in series to the water supply pipe 1324 between the water storage area 1112 and the spray head 131. The cleaning pump 137 is used to pump water from the water storage area 1112 into the spray head 131. Furthermore, a heating element 136 is provided at the bottom of the inner tank 111. The heating element 136 is located below and / or on the outer periphery of the water storage area 1112. The heating element 136 is used to generate heat to heat the water in the water storage area 1112. In this way, the cleaning water supplied from the external water source is heated by the heating element 136 in the water storage area 1112 before being supplied to the spray head 131, allowing the stains on the inner tank 111 wall to be cleaned at high temperature using hot water, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the integrated stove 100.

[0076] Furthermore, the water outlet of the inlet pipe 132 is first connected to the water storage area 1112, and then combined with the setting of the heating element 136, the clean water from the external water source will first enter the water storage area 1112 to accumulate and be heated. This process can first perform hot water soaking cleaning on the bottom wall of the inner tank 111, so as to improve the reliability of cleaning stubborn oil stains and food residues on the bottom wall of the inner tank 111, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the integrated stove 100.

[0077] Furthermore, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the water inlet pipe 132 includes a first water inlet pipe 1321 and a second water inlet pipe 1322 connected in sequence; the drainage pipe includes a drain pipe 1331. The spray assembly 130 also includes an openable and closable control valve 141, which is connected in series between the first water inlet pipe 1321 and the second water inlet pipe 1322. The outlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1322 is connected to the water storage area 1112. The drain pipe 1331 is connected between the outlet end of the control valve 141 and an external drainage channel. When the outlet end of the control valve 141 is opened, the second water inlet pipe 1322 and the drain pipe 1331 form a drainage pipe, that is, the portion of the second water inlet pipe 1322 between the control valve 141 and the water storage area 1112, together with the drain pipe 1331, forms a drainage pipe. It should be noted that the cleaning process of the integrated stove 100 and the sewage discharge process are not carried out simultaneously. The sewage discharge process must be carried out after the integrated stove 100 has been cleaned.

[0078] In this way, during the cleaning process, the sequential flow direction of the cleaning water is: external water source, water inlet connector 122, first water inlet pipe 1321, control valve 141, second water inlet pipe 1322, water storage area 1112, cleaning pump 137, water supply pipe 1324, spray head 131, and water storage area 1112. The sequential flow direction of the wastewater is: water storage area 1112, second water inlet pipe 1322, control valve 141, drain pipe, drain connector 123, and external drainage channel. This arrangement allows the second water inlet pipe 1322 to be used for different inlet and outlet functions, thereby reducing the number of additional pipes, reducing the piping complexity of the integrated stove 100, and reducing costs.

[0079] In some specific embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 1114 has a downwardly extending receiving groove, which forms a water storage area 1112. A detachable cover plate 160 is provided on the receiving groove. A gap exists between the peripheral wall of the cover plate 160 and the side wall of the receiving groove, allowing water flowing to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 1114 to enter the water storage area 1112 through the gap. This effectively blocks large particles of dirt remaining on the inner wall of the inner liner 111, preventing them from entering the pipes and reducing the pipe blockage rate, thus extending the service life of the integrated stove 100. The detachable connection between the cover plate 160 and the receiving groove can be achieved through bolt thread connection, snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0080] It should be noted that, as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to further increase the water storage capacity and meet the cleaning needs of the integrated stove 100, the bottom area of ​​the cooking cavity 1114 and the accommodating tank together form a complete water storage area 1112.

[0081] In addition, the connections between the inlet end of the inlet pipe 132 and the outlet end of the inlet connector 122, between the outlet end of the inlet pipe 132 and the spray head 131, between the inlet end of the drain pipe and the water storage area 1112, between the outlet end of the drain pipe and the drain connector 123, between the inlet interface 1221 of the inlet connector 122 and the corresponding conveying pipe, and between the drain interface of the drain connector 123 and the corresponding conveying pipe are all fixed connections. The fixed connection methods include, but are not limited to, bonding, internal and external threaded connections, and hot-melt socket connections. The corresponding connection method can be selected according to the material of each component.

[0082] In this embodiment, by providing a water inlet connector 122 and a drain connector 123 on the cooker frame 120 of the integrated stove 100, the spray head 131 at the top of the cooking cavity 1114 can be directly connected to an external water source through the water inlet connector 122, and the water storage area 1112 on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 1114 can be directly connected to an external drainage channel through the drain connector 123. Thus, when cleaning the cooking cavity 1114, the water sprayed from the spray head 131 to clean the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 1114 can be directly obtained from an external water source, and the wastewater after cleaning the cooking cavity 1114 can be directly discharged to the external drainage channel without the need to set up a separate water tank and wastewater box. Therefore, the cleaning process of the cooking cavity 1114 is not limited by the volume of the water tank and wastewater box, and there is no need to change the water in the water tank and wastewater box, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency. In addition, the water inlet 1221 of the water inlet connector 122 and the drain interface of the drain connector 123 are both exposed outside the side wall of the stove frame 120, making it convenient and easy to connect the water inlet of the water inlet connector 122 and the drain interface of the drain connector 123 to the external water source and the external drainage channel, respectively.

[0083] Of course, the cleaning process of the cooking unit of the integrated stove 100 is carried out with the door of the cooking cavity 1114 closed to ensure the safety and cleaning efficiency of the integrated stove 100 during the cleaning process.

[0084] Furthermore, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the integrated stove 100 also includes a mounting plate 150; a notch 124 is provided on the side wall of the stove frame 120, and the mounting plate 150 is detachably installed at the notch 124. The water inlet connector 122 and the drain connector 123 are fixed on the mounting plate 150. In this way, by removing the mounting plate 150 from the notch 124, the water inlet connector 122 along with the water inlet pipe 132 and the drain connector 123 along with the drain pipe can be pulled out from the stove frame to the outside of the stove frame 120. This allows the water inlet interface 1221 and the water outlet interface 1231 to be connected to the external water source and the external drainage channel respectively outside the stove frame 120, thereby avoiding the problem of no operating space on the side wall of the stove frame 120 at the installation position of the integrated stove 100, and further reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0085] The detachable connection methods between the mounting plate 150 and the stove frame 120 include:

[0086] For example, the mounting plate 150 is provided with a first magnetic element, and the side wall of the stove frame 120 is provided with a second magnetic element. The first and second magnetic elements are magnetically attracted to each other. Specifically, the first and second magnetic elements are permanent magnets; or one of the first and second magnetic elements is a permanent magnet, and the other is a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and their alloys. The provision of the first and second magnetic elements makes the detachable connection between the mounting plate 150 and the stove frame 120 convenient and quick, without damaging the mounting plate 150 and the stove frame 120.

[0087] For example, the mounting plate 150 is provided with a buckle, and the side wall of the stove frame 120 is provided with a slot. The buckle and the slot are engaged. The buckle and the slot are detachable, which ensures tight connection, accurate positioning, and compact structure.

[0088] For example, the integrated stove 100 also includes threaded fasteners, and the mounting plate 150 is connected to the stove body frame 120 through the threaded fasteners. Specifically, the threaded fasteners are bolts, and the mounting plate 150 and the stove body frame 120 have screw holes at corresponding positions. The bolts are used to detachably fix the two together through the corresponding screw holes, which ensures reliable connection and high connection strength.

[0089] In some embodiments, the fixed connection methods between the water inlet connector 122 and the drain connector 123 and the mounting plate 150 include, but are not limited to, adhesive bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, pin connection, threaded connection, clamp connection, etc.

[0090] In addition, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the spray assembly 130 also includes a sealing gasket 134 and a cleaning connector 135.

[0091] The cleaning connector 135 is connected in series with the water inlet pipe 132. The cleaning connector 135 passes through the top of the inner tank 111, with one end extending into the inner tank 111 and connected to the spray head 131, and the other end located outside the inner tank 111 and connected to the water outlet of the water inlet connector 122. The sealing gasket 134 is attached to the outer wall of the inner tank 111 and extends circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the cleaning connector 135 to seal the installation gap between the cleaning connector 135 and the inner tank 111, blocking steam leakage inside the inner tank 111, thereby improving the cooking efficiency and cleaning efficiency of the integrated stove 100.

[0092] For example, the sealing gasket 134 is a sealing ring, and the material of the sealing ring includes, but is not limited to, silicone rubber, fluororubber, EPDM rubber, etc.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, the cooking unit also includes a controller (not shown) and a temperature sensor 112. The temperature sensor 112 is connected in series to the water inlet pipe 132 between the water storage area 1112 and the cleaning pump 137. The temperature sensor 112 and the heating element 136 are electrically connected to the controller. In this way, the controller can control the opening and closing of the heating element 136 according to the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 112, so as to control the temperature of the water in the water storage area 1112, thereby controlling the temperature of the cleaning water sprayed from the spray head 131 within the required range, so as to avoid the cleaning water temperature being too high and wasting energy or the cleaning water temperature being too low and causing low cleaning efficiency, thereby saving energy and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the integrated stove 100.

[0094] For example, the temperature sensing element 112 includes, but is not limited to, thermocouple temperature sensors, resistance temperature sensors, infrared thermometers, fiber optic temperature sensors, etc.

[0095] like Figure 7 As shown, the spray assembly 130 also includes a flow meter 138 and a solenoid valve 139. Both the flow meter 138 and the solenoid valve 139 are connected in series on the water inlet pipe 132 between the water inlet connector 122 and the water storage area 1112. The flow meter 138 is used to measure the amount of water entering the water storage area 1112 to prevent insufficient cleaning water and thus improve the cleaning reliability of the integrated stove 100. The solenoid valve 139 is signal-connected to the flow meter 138 and is used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe 132, thereby controlling the amount of cleaning water.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the flow meter 138 and the solenoid valve 139 are connected in series to the first water inlet pipe 1321 to control the amount of clean water from the source of the water inlet pipe.

[0097] For example, the types of flow meters include, but are not limited to, differential pressure flow meters, volumetric flow meters, velocity flow meters, mass flow meters, and rotor flow meters.

[0098] In addition, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the spray assembly 130 also includes a drain pump 140, which is connected in series to the drain pipe. When the cleaning is finished, the drain pump 140 is used to pump the sewage in the water storage area 1112 into the external drain channel through the drain connector 123, so that the operator does not need to manually handle the sewage, which is fast and convenient.

[0099] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the water inlet pipe 132 also includes an inlet elbow 1323, which is connected in series with the first water inlet pipe 1321 and located downstream of the solenoid valve 139 and the flow meter 138. This ensures that the solenoid valve 139 and the flow meter 138 are located in the straight section of the first water inlet pipe 1321, improving the detection accuracy of the flow meter 138. Furthermore, a filter screen is installed at the water inlet end of the inlet elbow 1323 to filter the clean water source, preventing clogging of subsequent pipes and the spray head 131. The filter screen can be replaced by removing the inlet elbow 1323 from the first water inlet pipe 1321, making the operation convenient.
