Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, illustrating a water tank 100 of a cooking appliance, the water tank 100 storing cooking water therein, a detachable descaling device for a cooking appliance provided in the present embodiment is disposed in the water tank 100, and referring to fig. 2, the descaling device 200 includes a device body 210 and a descaling agent 220 disposed therein, the water stored in the water tank 100 is purified by the descaling agent 220, the descaling device 200 is detachably disposed in the water tank 100, and thus the device body 210 includes an adsorption end 215 and a free end 213, and a sidewall 214 between the adsorption end 215 and the free end 213.

The device body 210 can be detachably arranged on the descaling device 200 through the adsorption end 215, and the adsorption end 215 is arranged, so that the device body is opposite to the adsorption end 215, and in an adsorption state, the device body is also provided with a free end 213 which is far away from the adsorption end 215 and extends into the cavity of the water tank 100, and the free end 213 is positioned in the cavity and is not limited by a structure.

Referring to fig. 2, the apparatus body 210 includes a container 211 and a cover 212 disposed on the container 211, and the detergent 220 is disposed in a receiving cavity defined by the cover 212 and the container 211. The cover body 212 is arranged to facilitate the replacement of the detergent 220, and when the service life of the detergent 220 is over, the cover body 212 can be opened to take the detergent 220 out of the containing cavity.

In this embodiment, the scale remover 220 is ion exchange resin, which can replace calcium and magnesium ions in water with sodium ions, thereby reducing the generation of scale and generating the following chemical reactions:

Ca²⁺+2NaR＝CaR₂+2Na⁺

Mg²⁺+2NaR＝MgR₂+2Na⁺

therefore, the descaling agent 220 of the present embodiment utilizes chemical reaction to purify calcium and magnesium ions in water, so that the user is not required to place the descaling device 200 at a fixed position in the water tank 100, and the water can be purified only by contacting with the water in the water tank 100, and can be placed at any position in the water tank 100 theoretically, which improves the user experience; however, another problem is caused by the fact that, in general, since the water tank 100 has a certain volume and some cooking utensils are kept still for most of time, even during operation, the liquid flowing speed in the water tank 100 is low, which causes a problem that if the liquid inlet channel on the device body 210 is not opened reasonably, the existence of the free end 213 is not favorable for the descaler 220 to perform physical or chemical reaction with water, and more specifically, after the water with calcium and magnesium ions entering the device body 210 reacts with the descaler 220, the water flowing speed in the water tank 100 is too low, the internal and external exchange is slow, the cladding effect is easy to generate, the calcium and magnesium ions outside the device body 210 are prevented from entering the device body 210 to contact with the descaler 220, and the purified water after the internal exchange with the descaler 220 is also prevented from exiting the device body 210.

By having the adsorption end 215 and the free end 213, two more common adsorption states as shown in fig. 1 will occur, the first one, being adsorbed on the side wall of the water tank 100 through the adsorption end 215, and the second one, being adsorbed on the bottom wall of the water tank 100 through the adsorption end 215; the water tank 100 is generally provided with a water outlet 101 at the bottom of the water tank 100, for this reason, if the first mode is adopted, the descaling device 200 will be located at a position with a certain height from the water outlet 101, at this moment, the descaling device 200 is horizontally arranged, the free end 213 will transversely extend into the cavity of the water tank 100, the side wall 214 of the descaling device 200 is a low point when the water amount of the water tank 100 is small, if the second mode is adopted, because the descaling device 200 has a certain volume, the descaling agent 220 of the descaling device 200 will also be located at a position with a certain height from the water outlet 101, so the adsorption end 215 playing a role of adsorption will be a low point when the water amount of the water tank 100 is small, at this moment, the descaling device 200 is vertically arranged, and the free end 213 vertically extends into the cavity of the water tank 100.

Generally, since the water tank 100 has a certain shape, the sidewall of the water tank 100 is various, and the curvature is different, and it is sometimes inconvenient to adsorb, so that more descaling devices 200 are placed in the water tank 100 in the second way.

As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, in the embodiment, in order to enable the descaling device 200 to be in sufficient contact with water under different adsorption states and ensure that the descaling device 200 has good ion displacement capability, the side wall 214 is provided with a first liquid passing channel 230, and at least the adsorption end 215 is provided with a second liquid passing channel 240. If placed in the second adsorption state, because the second liquid passing channel 240 is provided at least on the adsorption end 215, in the second placement state, even if the water flow speed in the water tank 100 is not fast, the cladding effect will not be generated, because at this time, due to the existence of the second liquid passing channel 240, the substance with high concentration trapped in the device body 210 will diffuse out from the second liquid passing channel 240 under the action of gravity, and unpurified water will enter from the first liquid passing channel 230, so that the concentration of the substance in the device body 210 is maintained at a proper value, and the purification can be continuously performed.

Meanwhile, in the first adsorption state, if the cladding effect occurs, the substance trapped in the device body 210 with a large concentration will diffuse out from the first liquid passing channel 230 at a lower position under the action of gravity, and unpurified water will enter from the first liquid passing channel at another position or the second liquid passing channel 240 at the adsorption end 215, so that the purification can be continuously performed.

The first liquid passing channel 230 extends in a straight line or a curve along the axial direction of the device body 210, so that the length of the liquid passing channel on the side wall 214 can be increased, and in the first adsorption state, the material inside the device body 210 is favorably scattered, and in the second adsorption state, because the first liquid passing channel 230 extends along the axial direction of the device body 210, under the condition that the water quantity in the water tank 100 is small, the unpurified water can enter the device body 210 from the first liquid passing channel 230, and the purification capacity of the descaling device 200 in the water tank 100 hours is improved. In this embodiment, the extension form is a straight line, the structure is simple, and the structural strength of the sidewall 214 can be ensured; in some embodiments, a curved line may be used, which can increase the length of the first liquid passing channel 230.

As shown in fig. 3, a first liquid passing channel 230 extending in the axial direction and having an upper channel 231 disposed near the free end 213 side and a lower channel 232 disposed near the adsorption end 215 side; the specific upper channel 231 is arranged on the side wall of the container 211, the lower channel 232 is arranged on the side wall of the cover body 212, the length of the upper channel 231 is larger than that of the lower channel 232, and in the second state, the upper channel 231 is mainly used as a liquid inlet channel, and the lower channel 232 is mainly used as a liquid outlet channel, so that the covering effect can be broken, and the water purification effect can be improved.

The first liquid passing channel 230 is communicated with the second liquid passing channel 240, as shown in fig. 2, the first liquid passing channel 230 is vertically arranged along the direction shown in the figure, the second liquid passing channel 240 is transversely arranged along the direction shown in the figure, and the first liquid passing channel 230 is communicated with the second liquid passing channel 240 at the corner of the free end 213 and the side wall 214 or the corner of the adsorption end 215 and the side wall 214. In this way, in the second state, since the side close to the side wall 214 is the low point at the free end 213 or the adsorption end 215, the first liquid passing channel 230 is communicated with the second liquid passing channel 240, so that the second liquid passing channel 240 is provided at the free end 213 or the adsorption end 215 at least at the side close to the side wall 214, and thus the coating effect in the second state can be effectively broken, and the purification effect is improved. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, in order to have a good purifying effect in the second state, in addition to the second liquid passing channel 240 provided on the adsorption end 215, the second liquid passing channel 240 is provided on the free end 213. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the first liquid passing channel 230 and the second liquid passing channel 240 may not be communicated with each other, and based on the same principle, the second liquid passing channel 240 is disposed along the radial direction of the end portion of the device body 210 and extends from the side wall 214 side to the center side, so that the purifying effect in the second state can be improved to some extent.

As shown in fig. 2, a cover 212 is disposed to cover the container 211, in this embodiment, the suction end 215 is disposed on the cover 212, and the free end 213 is disposed on the container 211. The adsorption end 215 is provided with an adsorption piece 250, specifically, the adsorption piece 250 is a sucker, in order to fix the sucker, a fixing hole is formed on the cover body 212, the sucker comprises a disk body and a fixing part, the fixing part is matched with the fixing hole, the disk body is arched, and air in the disk body is squeezed off, so that adsorption is realized, the adsorption end 215 is arranged on the cover body 212, compared with the arrangement on the container 211, the cover body 212 is convenient for processing and forming the fixing hole for fixing the sucker, the demolding and forming are convenient, the structure is relatively simple, and the free end 213 is arranged on the container 211, so that the forming is inconvenient, and the processing difficulty is relatively large; for the adsorbing member 250, it may also be a magnet or an adsorbing member 250 that can be magnetized by the magnet, and correspondingly, a magnetic member may be correspondingly disposed on the water tank 100, so as to achieve the adsorption of the descaling device 200, for the suction cup, it may also be an annular suction cup, the annular suction cup includes an annular lip and a middle through hole, the adsorption is achieved through the annular lip, and the middle through hole may be used for disposing the second liquid passing channel 240, so as to achieve the exchange of the inside liquid and the outside liquid. The outer diameter of the absorption member 250 is smaller than that of the apparatus body 210 so that the absorption end 215 has a relatively sufficient space to dispose the second liquid passing passage 240.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the cover 212 is connected to the container 211 through the buckle 217 and the hook 216, the buckle 217 is disposed on the cover 212, and the hook 216 is disposed on the container 211. Since the buckle 217 is disposed on the cover 212 and the hook 216 is disposed on the container 211, the cover 212 can be prevented from being separated from the container 211.

The first liquid passing channel 230 has a plurality of first liquid passing channels annularly arranged on the side wall 214, and the second liquid passing channel 240 has a plurality of second liquid passing channels annularly arranged on the free end 213 or the adsorption end 215.

In some embodiments, the scale remover 220 may also be a scale inhibiting material with an active factor that prevents the hard-to-dissolve substances such as calcium carbonate in the water from binding into scale nuclei. The active ingredient participates in the formation of scale crystal nucleus in the form of ion and interferes with the formation process of the scale crystal nucleus, and the generation of the scale is prevented.

Referring to fig. 6, a steam cooking appliance is provided in the present application, including a pot body 300 and a pot cover 400, the pot body 300 is provided with a steam generator 310 and a water tank 100, the steam generator 310 is connected with the water tank 100, the water stored in the water tank 100 flows out through a water outlet 101 at the bottom, and enters the steam generator 310 through a water outlet pipe, the steam generator 310 has a generator body, and a heating pipe and a steam pipeline provided in the generator body, the heating pipe generates heat to heat the water in the steam pipeline, thereby vaporizing the water, forming high-temperature steam, the formed high-temperature steam passes through an air duct in the pot body 300, and enters the pot cover 400.

The pot cover 400 is covered on the pot body 300, the inner container 500 is arranged in the pot body 300, things with cooking are contained in the inner container 500, in the embodiment, the steam cooking appliance is a steam rice pot, in order to improve the heating efficiency, the steam guide pipe 410 is arranged on the pot cover 400, when the pot cover is covered on the pot body 300, the steam guide pipe 410 stretches into the food materials, and the steam guide pipe 410 leads the steam generated by the steam generator 310 into the food materials, so that the food materials are heated.

During the process of generating steam, scale will be precipitated after vaporization, and further the steam conduit 410 of the steam generator 310 is blocked, so that steam cannot be generated continuously. For this purpose, the descaling device 200 is provided in the water tank 100. Thereby increasing the lifespan of the steam generator 310.

As shown in fig. 6, the descaling device 200 is adsorbed on the inner sidewall of the water tank 100 through the adsorption port 215, or adsorbed on the bottom wall of the water tank 100 through the adsorption port 215; when the descaling device 200 is arranged on the bottom wall of the water tank 100, the descaling device 200 is arranged closer to the water outlet 101, so that the descaling device 200 can finish descaling even when the water quantity is small; the arrangement is on the side wall, which is convenient for users to take and place the descaling device 200.

The water tank 100 is detachably provided to the pot body 300, and for this purpose, a water outlet valve is provided at the water outlet 101, and when the water tank 100 is provided to the pot body 300, the one-way valve opens the water outlet 101 to allow water in the water tank 100 to enter the pot body 300.

Example two

In the present embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a descaling device 200 of a cooking appliance is illustrated, compared to the first embodiment, the difference is that the descaling device 200 is not connected to the water tank 100 through the adsorption end 215, but the buoyancy assembly is used to keep the descaling device 200 in good contact with water under different water amounts.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 7, the buoyancy module mainly includes a buoyancy body 270 and a weight block 260, the buoyancy body 270 is disposed at one end of the device body 210, and the weight block 260 is disposed at the other end of the device body 210. When the descaling device 200 is placed in the water tank 100, the buoyancy body 270 provides upward buoyancy for the device body 210, so that the device body 210 has a tendency to float upward, the weight block 260 can increase the weight of the device body 210, so that the device body 210 has a tendency to sink in the direction of gravity, and by adjusting the weight of the weight block 260, or changing the size, density or shape of the buoyancy body 270, different immersion states of the descaling device 200 can be realized.

Generally speaking, the force applied to the descaling device 200 in water includes buoyancy and gravity, when the buoyancy body 270 is provided, since the density of the descaling device 200 and the descaling agent 220 is greater than that of the liquid, the buoyancy is mainly provided by the buoyancy, the gravity is mainly provided by the counterweight 260, and then the device body 210 and the descaling agent 220 are provided, so if one end of the device body 210 is supposed to be capable of extending out of the water surface, the buoyancy of the buoyancy body 270 can be increased, and if the device body 210 is supposed to be immersed into the water to a greater or deeper part, the gravity of the configuration block can be increased.

According to the submergence degree of the device body 210 in water, the device body 210 can be divided into a floating state and a submerged state, different states can be generally realized by adjusting the buoyancy body 270 and the counterweight block 260, if the buoyancy generated by the buoyancy body 270 of the descaling device 200 is enough to overcome the gravity of the descaling device 200 and the counterweight block 260, one end of the device body 210 (including the buoyancy body 270) extends out of the water surface and floats on the water surface, if the buoyancy generated by the buoyancy body 270 is smaller, the counterweight block 260 is heavier, if the device body 210 floats on the water surface, the exposed part is only the buoyancy body 270, but the device body 210 does not extend out of the water surface and is submerged in the liquid, and under the action of the buoyancy body 270 and the counterweight block 260, the device body 210 is suspended or submerged in the liquid when submerged; from the aspect of the cleaning effect of the detergent 220, under the action of the buoyancy body 270 and the weight block 260, as shown by 201 and 202 in fig. 9, the device body 210 is completely immersed in the liquid, so that the detergent 220 can be fully contacted with the liquid; in fig. 9, as shown at 201, in the floating state, only the floating body 270 or part of the device body 210 is exposed and not contacted with the liquid, while the other part of the device body 210 is located below the liquid level, so on one hand, the descaling agent 220 can be ensured to be contacted with the liquid to purify the liquid, and on the other hand, the user can grasp and replace the descaling device 200 in the floating state; as shown in fig. 9 by 202, in the immersed state, the descaling device 200 will not move freely in the water tank 100 too much, so as to avoid adverse effects on the vision of the user, and certainly, in the immersed state, the control of the posture of the descaling device 200 can also be realized by adjusting the buoyancy body 270 and the counterweight block 260, for example, the descaling device 200 is maintained in a vertical state, so that the two ends of the device body 210 are located at the upper and lower sides, and are in a vertical arrangement with the water tank 100, and the vertical arrangement is beneficial to breaking the cladding effect, thereby improving the purification effect.

In some embodiments, as shown in 203 in fig. 9, the buoyancy assembly may be only the buoyancy body 270 to increase the buoyancy of the descaling device 200, so that the state is a floating state because the buoyancy body 270 can generate a larger buoyancy.

In some embodiments, as shown at 204 in fig. 9, the buoyancy component may be only the weight block 260 to increase the weight of the descaling device 200, so that the descaling device 200 is generally submerged in water due to the larger gravity generated by the weight block 260.

In conclusion, through setting up the buoyancy module to can be so that be equipped with the device body 210 of scale remover 220, can adjust the gesture in aqueous according to the demand, like floating state and submergence state, so can improve the user and get getting of scale removal device 200 and put the experience, or improve user's visual effect under the condition that does not influence the purification, kill two birds with one stone.

In this embodiment, buoyancy body 270 is the floater, sets up the one end at device body 210, and in some flexible embodiments, buoyancy body 270 can be for the different objects of foam block isotructure, material or shape to realize improving the effect of device body 210 buoyancy, the utility model discloses do not do the restriction.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the floating body 270 is further provided with a catching portion 271 so as to catch the floating body 270 in a floating state, and the catching portion and the floating ball are integrally formed.

In this embodiment, the sidewall 214 of the device body 210 is provided with a first liquid passing channel 230, and the end portions of the two sides of the sidewall 214 are provided with second liquid passing channels 240, so as to improve the purifying effect of the descaling device 200.

To this end, in the present embodiment, in order to solve the above problem in the first embodiment, referring to fig. 10 and 11, a descaling device 200 for a cooking appliance is provided, the cooking appliance includes a water tank 100, the descaling device 200 includes a device body 210 and a descaling agent 220 disposed therein, one end of the device body 210 is disposed at a water outlet 101 of the water tank 100, the device body 210 is provided with a first liquid passing channel 230 and a second liquid passing channel 240, the first liquid passing channel 230 is disposed on a side wall 214 of the device body 210, the second liquid passing channel 240 is disposed at an end of the device body 210 facing the water outlet 101, the first liquid passing channel 230 has a liquid inlet 233, and the liquid inlet 233 is located at an end of the second liquid passing channel 240. The end of the second liquid passing channel 240 is the absorption end 215 in the first embodiment, and the end opposite to the absorption end 215 is the free end 213.

Compared with the first embodiment, the first liquid passing channel 230 is still disposed on the side wall 214, but the liquid inlet 233 of the first liquid passing channel 230 is disposed at an end of the device body 210 facing the water outlet 101, and the second liquid passing channel 240 is also disposed at an end of the device body 210 facing the water outlet 101; because water can reach the water inlet of the water tank 100 only through the first liquid passing channel 230 and the second liquid passing channel 240, when the amount of water is small, the kinetic energy of the water pump 311 in the cooking process can be utilized, so that the water overcomes the gravity, enters the first liquid passing channel 230 through the liquid inlet 233 arranged at the side close to the water outlet to enter the device body 210, contacts with the descaling agent 220 to purify the liquid, and then reaches the water outlet 101 through the second liquid passing channel 240 arranged at the end of the device body 210 facing the water outlet 101. Thus, the present embodiment solves the problem that the amount of water in the water tank 100 is small, so that the detergent 220 in the apparatus body 210 cannot be immersed in the liquid, thereby improving the purification effect.

In this embodiment, since the device body 210 is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 100, in order to stably fix the descaling device 200 at the water outlet 101 of the water tank 100, as in the first embodiment, the device body 210 is provided with the adsorption end 215, the second liquid passing channel 240 is disposed on the adsorption end 215, and the device body 210 can overcome the buoyancy of water through the adsorption end 215, so that the device body 210 and the water tank 100 have stable grabbing capability. In order to realize the adsorption function, the adsorption part 250 is arranged on the adsorption end 215, and the water outlet 251 is arranged in the middle of the adsorption part 250, so that the liquid flowing out of the second liquid passing channel 240 can be communicated with the water outlet 101. In this embodiment, the absorbing member 250 is an annular sucking disc, the annular body has an absorbing lip, and the middle portion is a water passing hole 251.

The first liquid passing channel 230 further has a liquid outlet 234, the liquid outlet 234 is located at the other end of the device body 210, the other end is a free end 213 in the first embodiment, and the free end 213 protrudes into the cavity of the water tank 100, so that the distance from the liquid inlet 233 to the liquid outlet 234 of the first liquid passing channel 230 is approximately the distance from the free end 213 to the adsorption end 215 of the device body 210, if the device body 210 is adsorbed at the water outlet 101 at the bottom of the water tank 100 through the adsorption end 215, water in the water tank 100 enters the device body 210 through the liquid inlet 233, and then enters the device body 210 from bottom to top to reach the liquid outlet 234, and this process needs to overcome gravity, and a general cooking appliance is provided with a water pump 311, and water can be pumped from bottom to top to the liquid outlet 234 through the liquid inlet 233 by using kinetic energy of the water pump 311. The liquid outlet 234 is disposed near the free end 213, so that the liquid entering the device body 210 flows downward from the top, and then fully contacts with the detergent 220 in the device body 210, thereby improving the purification effect.

Because the acting force of overcoming the gravity mainly generates negative pressure in the device body 210 when pumping water when the water quantity is small, the side wall 214 forming the first liquid passing channel 230 comprises a channel outer wall 235 and a channel inner wall 236, the first liquid passing channel 230 is arranged between the channel outer wall 235 and the channel inner wall 236, compared with the first embodiment, the first liquid passing channel 230 only has the liquid inlet 233 communicated with the water tank 100, because the liquid inlet 233 is arranged close to the adsorption end 215, when the descaling device 200 is adsorbed at the water outlet 101 of the water tank 100, the water pump 311 generates negative pressure at the liquid inlet 233 when working, under the guidance of the channel outer wall 235 and the channel inner wall 236, the negative pressure overcomes the gravity from bottom to top to reach the liquid outlet 234 and then flows into the device body 210 from top to bottom to be contacted with the descaling agent 220, the liquid inlet 233 is not arranged at other positions, but is isolated by the channel outer wall 235, so that when the water in the water tank 100 causes the free end 213 to expose the liquid level, because the liquid passing port is exposed in the air in advance, negative pressure cannot be effectively formed, and the possibility of water pumping failure is caused.

The inner channel wall 236 and the outer channel wall 235 are only disposed in a local area of the side wall 214, and in some embodiments, referring to fig. 12, the first liquid passing channel 230 is disposed in a plurality and uniformly arranged on the side wall 214 of the device body 210, and then the corresponding number of the inner channel wall 236 and the outer channel wall 235 are correspondingly formed on the side wall 214.

In order to facilitate replacement of the apparatus body 210 in the apparatus body 210, a cover 212 may be provided at one end of the apparatus body 210, the cover 212 may be covered on the apparatus body 210, and in this embodiment, the cover 212 is provided at the free end 213, and since the free end 213 may expose the liquid surface in a small amount of water, the cover 212 and the apparatus body 210 are hermetically provided. Thus ensuring that a negative pressure can be created when the amount of water is low.

An air clearance is formed between one end of the device body 210 and the liquid inlet 233, so that the action range of the liquid inlet 233 can be expanded, and water in the water tank 100 can smoothly enter the device body 210 in the water pumping process.

Referring to fig. 13, the present embodiment further provides a cooking appliance, which is different from the first embodiment mainly in that the descaling device 200 is disposed in the water tank 100 in the second state, is disposed in the vertical state, and is disposed at the water outlet 101 of the water tank 100, so that water in the water tank 100 can only enter the cooker body 300 after passing through the descaling device 200, and thus, it is ensured that the water in the water tank 100 can be purified even when the water amount in the water tank 100 is small, and the problem that the descaling agent 220 of the descaling device 200 is exposed when the liquid level is lowered due to the fact that the free end 213 protrudes into the cavity of the water tank 100 is solved.

When the descaling device 200 is arranged in the water tank 100, the first liquid passing channel 230 and the bottom wall member of the water tank 100 form a clearance gap, so that the action range of the liquid inlet 233 is expanded, and water in the water tank 100 can smoothly enter the device body 210 in the process of pumping water.

The water tank 100 of the cooking appliance is detachably installed on the pot body 300, so that the water outlet 101 is provided with a water outlet valve, which protrudes from the bottom wall of the water tank 100 to open the water outlet 101 of the water tank 100 when the water tank 100 is installed on the pot body 300, referring to fig. 14, and the protruding water outlet valve protrudes into the water outlet 251 of the descaling device 200. The protruding outlet valve, on the one hand, opens the outlet 101 of the water tank 100, and on the other hand, prevents the descaling device 200 not attached to the water tank 100 from blocking the outlet 101.
