All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the utility model.

Example 1

As shown in fig. 1-3, the present embodiment provides a water supply channel, which includes a water inlet box 1, a water supply bin 3, and a water inlet channel 200 for communicating the water inlet box 1 and the water supply bin 3, wherein the water supply bin 3 is not higher than the water inlet box 1 as a whole, the water inlet channel 200 is provided with a water supply pump 203, and a water level control member for controlling the water supply pump 203 to work is arranged in the water inlet box 1.

In this embodiment, water supply bin 3 and water inlet box 1 all install in electric apparatus such as evaporating oven, and water supply bin 3 can adopt detachable mode to install in electric apparatus such as evaporating oven, and the user of being convenient for is to water supply bin 3 internal moisturizing, also is convenient for the user clearance water supply bin 3. In daily use, the water supply bin 3 is often larger than the water inlet box 1, and the water supply bin 3 is also heavier than the water inlet box 1 in a state of being filled with water. Compared with the structure that the water supply bin 3 is arranged on the upper side of the water inlet box 1, the whole water supply bin 3 of the embodiment is flush with the height of the water inlet box 1 or the water supply bin 3 is lower than the water inlet box 1, so that the space on the upper part of the steaming oven can be saved, the height of the steaming oven is reduced, and household appliances such as the steaming oven can be installed in shorter environments such as a cooking bench. The height of the water supply bin 3 and the water inlet box 1 of the embodiment is flush or the water supply bin 3 is lower than the water inlet box 1, so that the gravity center of the steaming oven is lowered, and the steaming oven is more stable when placed.

When the water supply bin 3 is required to supplement water to the water inlet box 1, the water level control piece controls the water supply pump 203 to work, and water in the water supply bin 3 enters the water inlet box 1 along the water inlet passage 200. Compare in the structure of feeding box 1 upside is located to water supply bin 3, when electric apparatus such as steaming and baking box outage, in the prior art water supply bin 3's water can fall into feeding box 1 by gravity, long-time easy ponding in the feeding box 1 that leads to is sour and smells, this embodiment utilizes working pump 203 to feed water to feeding box 1, is difficult to feed water box 1 ponding after the outage, has guaranteed the clean and sanitary of water supply water route.

Specifically, one end of the water inlet passage 200 may be installed at the bottom of the water supply bin 3, and the other end of the water inlet passage 200 may be installed at the upper side of the water inlet box 1.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the water level control comprises a force sensor 201 for controlling the water supply pump 203, the force sensor 201 being provided in connection with a buoyancy member 101, the buoyancy member 101 being located within the water inlet box 1.

In the above embodiment, both the buoyancy member 101 and the force sensor 201 are installed in the water inlet box 1, the force sensor 201 may be a tension sensor, the buoyancy member 101 may be a columnar or block-shaped floating block, the buoyancy member 101 may be vertically inserted into the water inlet box 1, and the contact range between the buoyancy member 101 and the liquid level in the water inlet box 1 is enlarged.

The buoyancy member 101 is connected to the force sensor 201, specifically, the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201=the gravity of the buoyancy member 101—the buoyancy force to which the buoyancy member 101 is subjected, the gravity of the buoyancy member 101 is fixed, and the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201 depends on the buoyancy force to which the buoyancy member 101 is subjected, and thus on the liquid level in the water inlet box 1. The buoyancy member 101 is subjected to buoyancy of water whether or not the density is greater than that of the water buoyancy member 101, but the buoyancy member 101 is preferably made of a light material having a smaller density than that of water in the water inlet box 1, so that the buoyancy member 101 is more significantly affected by the liquid level in the water inlet box 1.

The force sensor 201 can be provided with a threshold interval in advance or the force sensor 201 can be provided with a threshold interval inherent to the structure, when the water inlet box 1 is at a low water level, the buoyancy force applied to the buoyancy member 101 is smaller, the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201 is larger than the threshold interval of the force sensor 201, the force sensor 201 starts the water supply pump 203, and water in the water inlet passage 200 enters the water inlet box 1. When the water in the water inlet box 1 is added to a high water level, the buoyancy force applied to the buoyancy member 101 is large, the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201 is smaller than the threshold interval of the force sensor 201, the water supply pump 203 stops working, and water inlet is stopped.

In particular, force sensor 201 may be a reed pipe, which is typically formed of two soft magnetic materials with metallic reed contacts that open when nonmagnetic, and a third reed that is a normally closed contact. The reed contacts are encapsulated in a glass tube filled with an inert gas (such as nitrogen, helium, etc.) or vacuum, and the reed ends encapsulated in parallel in the glass tube overlap with a certain gap or contact each other to form a normally open or normally closed contact of the switch.

In use, the water supply pump 203 is in a closed state, closing the water inlet passage 200. When the pulling force of the reed pipe is larger than the self elastic force of the reed pipe, the metal reed contacts in the reed pipe are contacted with each other, and the reed pipe is communicated with the circuit of the water supply pump 203, so that the water supply pump 203 starts to work and water starts to enter. When the pulling force of the reed pipe is smaller than the self elastic force of the reed pipe, the reed pipe is reset, the metal reed contacts in the reed pipe are mutually separated, and the circuit of the reed pipe and the water supply pump 203 is disconnected, so that the water supply pump 203 is closed, and water inflow is stopped.

In this embodiment, when the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201 changes along with the height of the water level and the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201 exceeds the threshold interval of the force sensor 201, the force sensor 201 changes the control state of the water inlet channel 200, and in this embodiment, the buoyancy of the water to the buoyancy member 101 is utilized, and meanwhile, the on-off of the force sensor 201 to the water inlet channel 200 depends on the force of the buoyancy member 101 to the force sensor 201, so that the water level control method is simplified, the disturbance amount in the water level control method is reduced, and the reliability of water level detection and water level control is improved. The oxidation of the water level probe in the prior art during long-term use is avoided, and the water level probe can be used in a pure water environment. The buoyancy member 101 can be directly arranged on the force sensor 201, so that the problem that a water level floater is easy to be clamped with a fixed column in the prior art is avoided, and the reliability of water level detection and water level control is ensured.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the force sensor 201 is provided in the upper side wall of the water inlet box 1.

In the above embodiment, the contact time between the force sensor 201 and water is reduced, the force sensor 201 is prevented from being corroded after being immersed in water for a long time, and the reliability of the force sensor 201 for long-term use is ensured.

In some implementations of this embodiment, a flexible line 102 is provided in connection between the buoyancy 101 and the force sensor 201.

In the above embodiment, the flexible cord 102 may be a flexible cable, and is required to have high resistance to deformation and high tensile strength, i.e., to be stressed for a long period of time without deformation.

When water is replenished to the water inlet box 1, the water level is required to be kept below the upper side wall (namely below the force sensor 201) in the water inlet box 1, so that the position, close to the force sensor 201, of the buoyancy element 101 is not contacted with water, the buoyancy element 101 is connected to the force sensor 201 through the flexible rope 102, the distance between the buoyancy element 101 and the force sensor 201 is increased, the length of the buoyancy element 101 is reduced, and materials required for the buoyancy element 101 are saved.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the buoyancy 101 includes at least two floating balls that are in turn serially connected to the flexible line 102.

In the above embodiment, when the water level in the water inlet tank 1 is lower than the lowest floating ball, the force sensor 201 receives the gravity of all the floating balls at the same time, so that the force sensor 201 controls the water supply pump 203 to start water inlet.

When the water level in the water inlet box 1 is higher than the uppermost floating ball, all the floating balls are subjected to water buoyancy, the stress of the force sensor 201 is reduced, and the water supply pump 203 is controlled to stop water inlet.

In this embodiment, the floating ball is connected in series with the flexible rope 102, so that no toppling occurs, and the reliability of the water level control structure is further ensured.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the floating balls are a first floating ball 1011 and a second floating ball 1012, respectively, connected in series with the flexible cord 102.

In the above embodiment, the first floating ball 1011 is located at the second floating ball 1012 with a space, and the first floating ball 1011 is located at the lower side of the second floating ball 1012, so that the number of the required floating balls is reduced.

When the water level in the water inlet box 1 is lower than the first floating ball 1011, the water inlet control member is simultaneously subjected to the gravity of the first floating ball 1011 and the second floating ball 1012, so that the first floating ball 1011 and the second floating ball 1012 pull the water inlet control member to start water inlet.

When the water level in the water inlet box 1 is higher than the second floating ball 1012, the first floating ball 1011 and the second floating ball 1012 are both subjected to water buoyancy, the stress of the water inlet control member is reduced, and water inlet is stopped.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the second floating ball 1012 is located at the upper side of the first floating ball 1011, and meanwhile, the volume of the second floating ball 1012 is larger than that of the first floating ball 1011, so that the density of the second floating ball 1012 is larger than that of the first floating ball 1011, when the water level is higher than that of the second floating ball 1012, the tension change of the force sensor 201 caused by the second floating ball 1012 and the first floating ball 1011 is more obvious, and the larger tension change leaves a margin for ageing of the force sensor 201, so that the reliability of the water level control member in long-term use is ensured.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the water-using member 4 is further included, and a water outlet passage 400 is provided between the water-using member 4 and the water inlet box 1.

In the above embodiment, the water consuming member 4 may be a steam generator or the like, and water required for the water consuming member 4 flows out of the water inlet box 1, flows through the water outlet passage 400, and finally flows to the water consuming member 4.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the water outlet passage 400 is provided with a water return passage 500 communicating to the water supply bin 3, the water return passage 500 being provided with a water return control member 5.

In the above embodiment, the return water control member 5 may be a return water valve when the water supply bin 3 is lower than the water inlet box 1. After the water heater works, the water return valve is opened, water in the water inlet box 1 flows back to the water supply bin 3 along the water outlet passage 400 and the water return passage 500, so that water cannot accumulate in the water inlet box 1, bacterial breeding in the water inlet box 1 is reduced, and water accumulation, souring and odor generation in the water inlet box 1 are prevented.

Meanwhile, the water supply part can collect the residual water in the water inlet box 1 again, so that the water is not required to be directly discharged, and the waste of the water is reduced.

In actual use, after the water heater works, the water return valve is opened, and after the water return valve is opened for 10S-30S, the water return valve is closed.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the return water control 5 is a return water pump.

In the above embodiment, when the water supply bin 3 is as high as the water inlet box 1, the water return control member 5 is a water return pump, and the water remaining in the water inlet box 1 can be pumped out by the water return pump, so that the water accumulation and the sour and odorous in the water inlet box 1 are prevented.
