In this way, when the partition 20 is placed in the cooking cavity 90, the steam in each subspace can form an independent circulation, which is more advantageous in avoiding the tainting of food materials in the different subspaces.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the partition 20 of the present embodiment further includes a second tray 22, and a second partition plate 24 is provided on the second tray 22. The first tray 21, the second tray 22, the first partition plate 23 and the second partition plate 24 are combined into the soil-shaped structure and are fixedly connected, four food materials to be cooked can be firstly placed on the partition piece 20 and then are placed into the cooking cavity 90 of the main body 10 together, convenience is brought to a user to take and place the food materials, user operation is simplified, and user experience is improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the bottom of the second tray 22 of the present embodiment is provided with four support legs 25, and the four support legs 25 are provided at four corners of the second tray 22. The support legs 25 suspend the second tray 22 in the cooking cavity 90, and further suspend the food material placed on the second tray 22 in the subspace, so that the food material to be cooked can be more fully contacted with the high-temperature steam, which is beneficial to uniformly heating the food material and improving the cooking effect.

Depending on the structural strength of the support legs 25 and the size of the second tray 22, the number of support legs 25 may be increased or decreased or the positions of the support legs 25 may be adjusted, for example, one support leg may be added to the center position of the second tray 22 or three support legs having a triangular shape may be disposed at the middle position of the second tray 22, so that the second tray 22 may be stably placed in the cooking cavity 90.

As shown in fig. 3, the second tray 22 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of through holes 26. The through holes 26 can enable water drops condensed by steam to pass through on one hand, so that condensation water is prevented from being gathered at the bottom of the second tray 22, and food materials are soaked in the condensation water, so that the cooking effect and the taste of the food materials are affected; on the other hand, the steam outlet 33 at the bottom can be ventilated, so that the steam can contact the bottom of the food material no matter where it is located.

Preferably, the through holes 26 of the present embodiment are circular holes arranged in a triangular array on the second tray 22.

In other embodiments not shown in the figures, the shape of the through holes 26 may be adjusted to other shapes, and the arrangement may be rectangular, circular, radial, or the like.

As shown in fig. 1, in the cooking appliance of the present embodiment, one control switch 32 is provided on each of the branches 31. The control switches 32 can control the opening and closing of the branches 31, and the control switches 32 are arranged on the four branches 31 to control each branch 31 respectively, so as to control the steam quantity supplied to each subspace.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, a control panel 80 is provided on the upper portion of the front side of the main body 10 for controlling the opening and closing operations of the four control switches 32, and the control panel 80 can adjust the timing and duration of the supply of the steam according to a preset program or a user instruction, so that the four steam outlets 33 are opened at different times, and different amounts of steam are supplied.

The cooking time and cooking temperature of different food materials are not necessarily identical, and under the condition that the partition 20 is placed as shown in fig. 2, four communication pipelines can provide different heating time lengths and steam amounts for four subspaces so as to adapt to different food materials in the four subspaces, so that four food materials which are simultaneously heated by steam can be heated properly, and the taste of the food materials is ensured.

Without the divider 20, the four communication lines would then be able to release steam into the cooking cavity 90 from multiple angles, allowing the steam to contact the food material from multiple directions. Avoiding the situation that steam is released in a single direction, and the cooking degree difference between the side of the food material close to the steam outlet 33 and the side far away from the steam outlet 33 is too large. For some food materials, the heating time and the steam quantity can be adjusted according to the requirements by the four communicating pipelines capable of being independently controlled, so that the cooked food materials can be better experienced. For example, after a certain amount of heat is applied to the food material for a period of time, the internal structure of the food material changes, and at this time, the steam amount or the steaming angle can be increased or reduced, so that the food material keeps good taste.

The foregoing disclosure is illustrative of the present utility model and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model, which is defined by the appended claims.
