Description

Cooking apparatus

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a kitchen electrical equipment technical field, concretely relates to cooking equipment.

Background

The steam box is used as kitchen electrical equipment, and the main principle is that the pure steaming function is realized through high-temperature steam which is continuously provided, so that the cooking of food materials is completed. Compared with other electric cooking appliances such as an oven and a microwave oven, the steam box can better retain the nutrient components of food materials, so that the steam box is favored by consumers.

In order to ensure the achievement of cooking, there is a need for a steam box that provides steaming at a higher temperature and thus a higher cooking temperature. In order to meet the demand of higher cooking temperature, the following method is often adopted: the method is characterized in that a component for generating heat is additionally arranged in the steam box, such as a heating pipe is introduced to carry out auxiliary heating, and the heat is directly supplied to the inner container of the steam box so as to improve the cooking temperature, for example, the highest cooking temperature of the steam box is 100 ℃ in a normal state, so that the inner container of the steam box can obtain high-temperature steam of 120 ℃. However, the way of adding additional parts has such drawbacks: the manner in which the components are added internally reduces the effective volume of the steam box and thus affects the scale to which the steam box is applicable to some extent. In addition, the mode of directly carrying out auxiliary heating to the steam that gets into the inner bag often appears like phenomenon such as overdrying, burnt etc. along with food surface, and this can obviously influence the taste of food thereby reduce the user experience of steam ager.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new solution to the above problems.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a steam box of an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 shows a structural schematic diagram of a steam generator in the steam box of an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 shows a structural schematic diagram of a steam generator in the steam box of an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 4 shows a sectional schematic diagram of a steam generator in the steam box of an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5 shows a structural schematic diagram of a separation component of a steam generator in the steam box of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the steam box 100 includes a cooking body formed with a cooking chamber (e.g., a liner) for containing food materials, and a steam generator 2 capable of emitting high-temperature steam to the cooking chamber, so that the food materials contained in the cooking chamber are cooked in a pure steaming manner by the high-temperature steam. Wherein, steam generator includes generator body and steam generating agent supply side, and steam generator's main effect is to the heating steam that produces to water as steam generating agent. The water supply tank, which is a supply side of the steam generating agent, is mainly used to supply water for generating steam to the generator body. Thus, the steam generator can continuously deliver high-temperature steam to the cooking chamber during the use of the steam box.

According to the orientation in fig. 4, the generator body is formed with a steam generating chamber in which a partition member 23 is provided in a horizontal direction, which partition member is of a plate-like structure in this embodiment, thereby partitioning the steam generating chamber into a lower first chamber 21 and an upper second chamber 22. Wherein a water inlet 241 as a steam generating agent inlet is provided on a side wall of the first chamber, and accordingly, a water pump is provided in the water supply tank and connected to the water inlet through the first connection pipe 11 so as to supply water for generating steam to the first chamber. Wherein the second chamber is provided with a steam emitting port 242 connected to the cooking chamber through a second connection pipe 12 to emit high temperature steam into the cooking chamber. In the present embodiment, a plurality of ventilation holes 232 are provided as a communication structure on the main body 231 of the plate structure, thereby continuously communicating the two chambers. In addition, the steam box further comprises a first heating pipe and a second heating pipe which are used for respectively emitting heat to the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the first heating pipe is arranged on the outer side of the bottom wall of the first chamber. The second heating pipe is of a U-shaped structure, and the main body of the U-shaped structure extends into and is suspended in the second chamber.

Meanwhile, the bottom wall of the first chamber is also provided with a drain hole 25 for discharging the water generating steam in time to ensure that the steam is generated by fresh water during each cooking; the first chamber is also provided with mounting structure 26, which in this embodiment comprises a mounting plate of generally L-shaped configuration, by which the steam generator is secured to the steam box.

In addition, the steam box is also provided with a human-computer interaction module, for example, the human-computer interaction module comprises an operation area and a display area, wherein the operation area is arranged at the front position, the operation area can allow an operator to perform operations such as mode selection, pause and the like, and the display area can display the current operation mode of the steam box, related parameters and the like. In addition, the steam box is also provided with an acoustic/optical prompt module, for example, the steam box is automatically stopped and gives an acoustic alarm after the corresponding food materials are cooked, or a prompt can be given when abnormal phenomena such as burnt food materials occur in the cooking process. In addition, in order to prevent the phenomena that no water exists in the first chamber and no air exists in the second chamber and the heating is continued, the steam generator can be provided with an anti-dry heating module aiming at the first chamber, control logic associated with the anti-dry heating module aiming at the first chamber and the like.

Based on the structure, the high-temperature steam for obtaining higher cooking temperature of the cooking chamber of the steam box is generated in the following mode:

the water first enters the first chamber below, in which it forms a higher temperature steam under the action of the first heating pipe. Then, the steam is not released to the cooking chamber, but enters the second chamber above through the ventilation holes on the partition member, and the steam with higher temperature is formed in the second chamber under the action of the second heating pipe. Finally, the higher temperature steam is delivered to the cooking chamber through a steam emitting port provided in the second chamber.

It can be seen that in the utility model discloses an in the steam ager, because steam is the temperature that realizes before getting into the culinary art cavity promotes to when can offering higher culinary art temperature to the culinary art cavity, avoided because the culinary art temperature improves and lead to food surface to appear like phenomenon such as dry, burnt. Furthermore, since the second heating tube is accommodated in the second chamber, the introduction of the auxiliary heating mechanism does not result in a reduction of the effective volume of the cooking chamber.

It should be noted that although the specific structure configured as above is described as an example, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention should not be limited thereto. In fact, the user can flexibly adjust the related structure and the specific setting mode thereof according to the actual application scenario, such as: the ventilation holes will be provided only in the middle area of the partition member, the volumes of the two chambers will differ, etc.

So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the related technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
