The invention provides an integrated kitchen appliance.

In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 1 to 4 in combination, the integrated kitchen appliance includes an integrated water inlet module 10, the integrated water inlet module 10 has a water purifying unit 111, a heating unit 112 and a main water inlet (not shown), the main water inlet is communicated with an external water source, the water purifying unit 111 is connected to the main water inlet and the heating unit 112 respectively, the water purifying unit 111 has a water outlet, and the heating unit 112 has a plurality of fluid outlets 122.

In this embodiment, the water purification unit 111 specifically includes a filter element and/or a sterilization device, and the water purification unit 111 can purify water supplied from an external water source to reduce bacteria or particles in the water, and the water flowing out after being processed by the water purification unit 111 can reach a drinking level. The heating unit 112 includes an electric heating pipe, a gas heating device, and the like, and can heat water flowing out of the water purification unit 111. It is contemplated that the heating unit 112 has at least one heating chamber for receiving the water purified by the water purifying unit 111. For applications where steam is desired, the heating unit 112 is heated to a higher temperature and the water is heated to form steam and exits the fluid outlet 122. For applications where hot water is desired, the heating unit 112 is heated to a relatively low temperature and the water is heated to hot water and exits the fluid outlet 122.

In one embodiment, the integrated kitchen appliance further comprises a plurality of functional modules, which are connected to the fluid outlet 122 and/or the water outlet. Specifically, the functional module specifically refers to a range hood 30, a dishwasher 60, a steam tank 40, a cleaning tank 50, a steam box 70 or a disinfection cabinet 80, and the like. Wherein, the steam enters the steam groove body 40 to clean, sterilize or deodorize the food, the tableware or some living goods, etc. Steam enters the range hood 30 to clean grease inside the range hood 30. The hot water enters the cleaning tank body 50 and can be used for washing dishes, hands, vegetables and the like. In addition, the steam tank 40 and the wash tank 50 may be referred to as a sink, or the like.

In an embodiment, the integrated kitchen appliance further comprises an integrated drain module 20, said integrated drain module 20 having a drain 21 (as shown in fig. 5) which can be used for draining water and/or blowdown. In this embodiment, at least some of the functional modules are connected to the discharge pipe 21. It should be noted that, for the functional module requiring water drainage, all of which are connected with the exhaust pipe 21, for example, the range hood 30, the dishwasher 60, the steam bath 40 and the wash bath 50 all require water drainage, and therefore such functional module is connected with the exhaust pipe 21, so that water is intensively exhausted from the exhaust pipe 21. After the range hood 30 is cleaned by the steam, the steam is condensed to form water and then is discharged from the discharge pipe 21. After the steam enters the steam tank 40 to sterilize food, tableware or some living goods, the steam is condensed to form water, and thus it is discharged from the discharge pipe 21. In addition, water generated after the hot water or the normal temperature water is washed in the dishwasher 60 to wash dishes, or the water generated after the washing of foods in the washing tub 50 is also intensively discharged from the discharge pipe 21. For functional modules that do not require drainage, it is not connected to the drain 21. Such as the steam box 70 or the sterilizer 80, the steam box 70 itself has a steam outlet to reduce the pressure of the air inside the steam box 70 after the steam enters the steam box 70 to cook the food.
