Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The food processor can be a device such as a steamer or a food steamer which needs to process food by steam. The device shown in fig. 1 mainly comprises the following components: fuselage subassembly 1, cavity door subassembly 2, base subassembly 3, screen subassembly 4, cold water tank subassembly 5 and hot water tank subassembly 6.

Fig. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of the steamer drawer shown in fig. 1 with the fuselage and internal cavity door assembly removed to clearly show the internal structure. In fig. 2, the cold water tank assembly and the hot water tank assembly are mounted in the base assembly, and wherein the removable water tank is connected to the inner chamber assembly by a pipe assembly.

Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a main portion of the steam drawer shown in fig. 1. The body assembly generally includes a hardware body 101 and an internal cavity assembly 102. Mounted within the interior cavity door assembly 2 is a screen assembly 4, which in the example shown is a 7 inch screen assembly. The base assembly includes a base 304 and a base cover 306, both of which may be constructed of plastic. The water pump 303 may also be mounted in a base with a water pump cover 301 to shield the water pump. The water pump 303 is arranged to draw water from the cold water tank into the hot water tank when the machine is operating a steaming function. The water pump outlet is connected to the water outlet adapter tube 305 through the water pump outlet silicone tube 302 to introduce cold water into the hot water tank assembly.

The cold water tank assembly mainly includes a cold water tank cover 502 and a cold water tank 503. A waterproof sealant 501 may be provided in the cold water tank cover 502. A water tank decorative cover 504 may be provided outside the cold water tank 503. The cold water tank assembly communicates with the water pump 303 through an output pipe 505 to deliver water to the water pump 303. A check valve 506 and a check valve sealant 507 may be provided in the output pipe 505 to control the supply of water. The cold water tank assembly is connected with the inner cavity assembly through a cold water tank microswitch 111, a cold water tank microswitch push rod 112 and a cold water tank microswitch bracket 113.

The hot water tank assembly mainly comprises a hot water tank cover 601, a hot water tank heating film 604 and a hot water tank base 610. The hot water tank assembly further comprises a stainless steel tank 603 for holding water to be heated. The heating film 604 is installed in a closed space formed by the stainless steel case 603 and the stainless steel case bottom cover 607. The closed space isolates the heating film from the outside. The enclosed space waterproofly seals the heating film such that the heating film is isolated with respect to water in the case. The closed space also can insulate the heating film from the generated steam when the water in the box body is heated. A hot water tank cover waterproof ring 602 may be provided between the hot water tank cover 601 and the stainless steel tank body 603. The hot water tank base cover 605 may be secured to the hot water tank base 610 by a screw plug 606. The hot water tank base cover can also be connected with the hot water tank base through bolt connection or other connection modes. Also provided in the hot water tank assembly is a front connector 609, which is typically provided with a front connector waterproof ring 608.

The hot water tank assembly is fixed in the base 304 by a hot water tank lock box 313, a hot water tank lock post 314, and a hot water tank lock post press block 315, and a hot water tank lock cover 316 covers the hot water tank lock box, the lock post, and the lock post press block. The hot water tank assembly is also provided with a hot water tank microswitch 308, a hot water tank microswitch bracket 309 and a tank microswitch push rod 310 for coupling with the inner chamber assembly. When the hot water tank assembly is assembled in the base assembly, the front connector 609 and the rear connector 312 provided therein cooperate and connect the hot water tank with the short water pipe 311. The short water pipe 311 is provided with a short water pipe sealant 307 for sealing the short water pipe. An air outlet adapter tube 317 is connected to the rear of the short water tube 311, and when steam is generated by heating a heating film in the hot water tank, the generated steam is conveyed to the first straight air outlet silicone tube 110 through the air outlet adapter tube 317. The first straight silicone outlet tube 110 may be connected to a 90 degree air outlet tube 109 to connect with the bent tube 108. The bent tube 108 is connected to a Y-shaped branch tube 107, and two branches of the Y-shaped branch tube are connected to a second straight silicone outlet tube 105 and a third straight silicone outlet tube 106, which are connected to the left gas outlet column 104 and the left gas outlet column 103, respectively, so as to guide steam into the inner cavity of the food processor to steam food placed in the inner cavity. These pipes may be arranged outside the lumen assembly 102, which the fuselage 101 includes when these assemblies are assembled together.

After the components of the food processor according to the present invention are assembled together, the inner cavity door is closed to close the micro-switch on the inner cavity component. At this time, the micro switches of the cold water tank and the hot water tank put into the base are also closed and the front connector and the rear connector of the hot water tank are also tightly coupled together, and then the power source may be turned on. When the machine runs the function of steaming, the water pump can draw water from the cold water tank and get into the hot-water tank, and the hot-water tank begins to heat and produces steam after that, and steam can get into the inner chamber through pipe fittings such as the adapter tube of giving vent to anger, each directly give vent to anger silicone tube, 90 degrees outlet ducts, makes the food of the inside steamed. Because the heating film of the hot water tank is in the closed space, the hot water tank can be taken out for cleaning, and the blockage of the air outlet and the water inlet caused by the accumulation of water scale of the hot water tank is avoided. The structure has the functions of preventing water leakage, damaging a heating film heating circuit, damaging people by electric leakage, preventing the water tank from being blocked by excessive accumulated water scale, heating quickly and uniformly, assembling simply and quickly and the like.

FIG. 4 illustrates another perspective view of the steamer drawer of FIG. 1 with the cold water tank assembly and the hot water tank assembly removed from the base assembly.

The food processor of the present invention may also include other necessary components to perform its functions, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

The foregoing is merely exemplary of the present invention and is not intended to limit the same. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, many improvements, modifications and variations can be made to the present invention, but these improvements, modifications and variations should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
