Preferably, the tank body 112 includes an inner housing 1121 and a cover 1122; the cover 1122 covers the inner housing 1121 to form a receptacle. The arrow on the cover 1122 represents the direction of assembly of the tank body 112 and the outer case 113.

Example 2

The present embodiment provides a steam cooking apparatus, including an apparatus body, the water tank 1 of embodiment 1, a water pump 2 and a steam generator; the water pump 2 is connected to the first water outlet 111 of the water tank 1 for pumping water in the water tank 1 to the steam generator.

Because the water tank of embodiment 1 is adopted to this embodiment, so can the unable comparatively accurate problem of judging the water tank lack of water of present water tank of effectual solution at least, make the culinary art process water tank deposit water utilization ratio reach 100% almost.

Further, the steam cooking apparatus further includes a mount 3; the water tank 1 and the water pump 2 are both installed on the equipment body through the installation seat 3.

Preferably, the steam cooking device can be a steaming oven, a micro-steaming and baking integrated machine, a steam box, a micro-steam box and the like.

The working procedure of example 2 is specifically described with reference to example 1:

the user pulls the tank body 112 out of the mounting cavity of the outer case 13, opens the lid 1122, fills the inner case 1121 with water, and reattaches the lid 1122 to the tank body 112 in the mounting cavity of the outer case 113.

In the cooking process of the steam cooking device, if the temperature of the evaporator reaches the dry-cooking temperature, the water pump 2 is started, water in the inner shell 1121 enters the bin through the second water inlet 121, and is pumped to the steam generator by the water pump 2 through the first water outlet 111; because the second water inlet 121 is blocked by water seal and the water pump 2 is self-sealing, the water in the chamber is always full, and then the magnetic buoy 13 is always located at the top of the chamber and cannot trigger the magnetic switch 14 located at the bottom of the chamber.

However, as the water pump 2 is operated for a longer period of time, the water in the cavity of the inner shell 1121 is gradually reduced until it is not. When the cavity is empty of water, air enters the bin from the second water inlet 121, the pressure balance in the bin is broken, the magnetic buoy 13 falls to the bottom of the bin, the magnetic control switch 14 is triggered, the control system of the steam cooking device controls the steam generator to pause, and a user is reminded of adding water into the water tank.
