As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the present application provides a steam discharge structure 5, which includes: a housing 10 having a steam inlet 110 and a steam outlet 120; a blocking member 20 disposed in the housing 10, the blocking member 20 being disposed to overlap a majority of the steam inlet 110 and blocking a part of the steam inlet 110 to reduce a steam inlet amount of the steam inlet 110; under the action of external force, the blocking piece 20 is not overlapped with the steam inlet 110, so as to increase the steam inlet amount of the steam inlet 110.

Specifically, the steam inlet 110 is communicated with the inner container 6 of the cooking device, and due to the existence of the blocking piece 20, the local part of the steam inlet 110 is blocked, so that only a small amount of steam enters the inside of the shell 10 and is discharged through the steam outlet 120, and the phenomenon that the taste of food is deteriorated due to the accumulation of the steam with lower temperature in the inner container 6 is avoided; when an external force is applied, the blocking piece 20 does not overlap with the steam inlet 110 (i.e., the blocking piece 20 does not block the steam inlet 110), increasing the steam inlet amount of the steam inlet 110, so that a large amount of steam can be discharged through the steam outlet 120.

In other cases where it is necessary to, for example, make the inner container 6 airtight, the sealing member 20 is provided so as to overlap the entire steam inlet 110 and seal the entire steam inlet 110, thereby preventing the escape of steam from the inner container 6.

The block piece 20 has a first position and a second position relative to the steam inlet 110, between which the block piece 20 is switchably slidable; when the blocking piece 20 is in the first position, the blocking piece 20 is arranged to overlap most of the steam inlet 110; when the blocking piece 20 is in the second position, the blocking piece 20 is not arranged to overlap with the steam inlet 110.

In an embodiment, a position-limiting portion 130 is disposed inside the housing 10, and the position-limiting portion 130 is in position-limiting engagement with the blocking element 20 to limit the sliding of the blocking element 20 between the first position and the second position, in this embodiment, the position-limiting portion 130 is disposed to limit the movement of the blocking element 20, so as to prevent the blocking element 20 from being separated from the first position or the second position without being constrained by the position-limiting portion 130, and thus the blocking element 20 is prevented from failing to function.

Further, the number of the limiting portions 130 is two, and the two limiting portions 130 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the plugging member 20, so as to limit the plugging member 20 on the two opposite sides of the plugging member 20.

In one embodiment, a spring element 140 is further disposed inside the housing 10, and the spring element 140 is confined between the blocking element 20 and the inside of the housing 10; the blocking member 20 slides from the second position to the first position under the elastic force of the spring member 140. The embodiment realizes the resetting of the blocking piece 20 (the second position slides to the first position) through the elastic force of the spring piece 140, so as to facilitate the reuse of the steam exhaust structure 5.

Specifically, a propping part is arranged inside the housing 10, one end of the spring element 140 props against the propping part, and the other end of the spring element props against the plugging element 20; during the sliding of the blocking element 20 from the first position to the second position under the action of an external force, the blocking element 20 compresses the spring element 140; when the blocking member 20 loses the external force, the blocking member 20 is rebounded from the second position to the first position by the elastic force of the spring member 140.

In one embodiment, the steam exhaust structure 5 further comprises: the driving part 30 is provided with a driving end 310 and a driving plate 320 connected with the driving end 310, wherein the driving end 310 is used for applying external force operation; the driving plate 320 is disposed inside the housing 10 and is in driving connection with the blocking member 20, so that the blocking member 20 slides from the first position to the second position under the action of an external force. In the embodiment, the driving end 310 of the driving member 30 is operated by applying an external force (for example, pressing the driving end 310) to drive the blocking piece 20 located inside the housing 10 to work, so as to change the position of the blocking piece 20, thereby achieving steam exhaust.

Further, a portion of the driving end 310 is exposed to the outside of the housing 10, so that the driving end 310 is operated by applying an external force to the outside of the housing 10.

Further, the housing 10 has a through hole, the driving end 310 extends out of the housing 10 through the through hole, and preferably, a sealing ring is disposed between the through hole and the driving end 310.

Regarding the manner in which the driving plate 320 drives the blocking piece 20 to move, in the present embodiment, the driving plate 320 has a sliding slot 321 obliquely arranged relative to the blocking piece 20, and the sliding slot 321 has a first end 3211 and a second end 3212; the plugging member 20 has a driving portion 210, and the driving portion 210 is disposed in the sliding groove 321; when the blocking member 20 slides from the first position to the second position, the driving portion 210 moves from the first end 3211 to the second end 3212.

Specifically, when the block piece 20 is in the first position, the driving portion 210 is located at the first end 3211 of the sliding groove 321; when the driving plate 320 is moved by an external force, the driving portion 210 moves from the first end 3211 to the second end 3212 along the extending direction of the sliding slot 321, so that the blocking element 20 slides from the first position to the second position.

Preferably, the driving plate 320 has a hollow area 322 thereon, which prevents the driving plate 320 from blocking the steam, so as to exhaust the steam over a large area.

In one embodiment, the steam exhaust structure 5 further comprises: a driving device 40 disposed outside the housing 10; the driving device 40 has a pressing end provided corresponding to the driving end 310 for applying an external force to the driving end 310. In the present embodiment, the driving end 310 is operated by providing the driving device 40 so as to achieve switching between small-size steam discharge and large-size steam discharge.

Further, the driving device 40 is an electromagnetic valve, and the electromagnetic valve is electrically connected to the control panel, so that a user can switch between small-size steam exhaust and large-size steam exhaust by operating on the control panel.

In addition, as for the operation of the driving end 310, a manner of manually pressing the driving end 310 may be adopted.

Part of the steam forms condensed water in the casing 10. In one embodiment, the casing 10 is further provided with a drain end 150, and the drain end 150 is disposed at the bottom of the casing 10 and is communicated with the inside of the casing 10, so as to discharge the condensed water and prevent water accumulation.

Further, the drain end may be connected to a drain pipe to drain standing water to a waste tank or elsewhere.

The present application further provides a cooking device, comprising: an inner container 6; the steam exhaust structure 5 is arranged on the inner container 6, and the steam inlet 110 is communicated with the inner container 6.

The cooking device includes a steam oven, a micro-steam oven, and other kitchen appliances that require steam exhaust.
