By doing so, it is incorporated into the present application.

The present application relates to the field of home appliance technology for kitchens, and specifically to a material cleaning device and a cooking utensil including the material cleaning device.

Currently, some smart cookware such as automatic rice cookers are provided with a rice washing container for automatic rice washing and a sewage discharge pipe for automatically discharging sewage after washing rice. Since starch and other deposits are attached to the rice grains, starch and other deposits remain on the rice washing container and the filth discharge pipe after washing, and water also remains on the rice washing container and the filth discharge pipe. Mold is likely to occur.

To solve at least one of the above technical problems, one object of the present application is to provide a material cleaning device.

Another object of the present application is to provide a cooking utensil including the above-mentioned material cleaning device.

In order to realize the above object, the material cleaning device provided by the technical means of the first aspect of the present application includes a cleaning cavity in which an intake port, a material discharge port, and a filth discharge port are opened, and the above-mentioned cleaning cavity.

It includes a member and a heat generating structure capable of heating an air flow sent by the intake pipe.

In the material cleaning device provided by the technical means of the first aspect of the present application, a drying device is added, the drying device includes an intake pipe, a blower member and a heat generating structure, and the blower member is provided with an air flow by the intake pipe. Air is blown to the intake pipe during operation so that it is sent to the cleaning cavity, the airflow enters the cleaning cavity through the intake port, and further enters the filth discharge pipe through the filth discharge port, and heat is generated so that the airflow becomes hot air. Since the structure can heat the airflow sent by the intake pipe, the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe are effectively dried, and the residual deposits such as starch are removed from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe. As it peels off from the inner wall surface of the pipe and is discharged with the air flow, it effectively prevents the generation of mold in the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe, improves the cleanliness of the material cleaning equipment, and improves the cleanliness of the product. Use reliability is improved.

Since the airflow is generated by the blower member, enters the cleaning cavity through the intake pipe, and further enters the filth discharge pipe, the airflow may be heated by the heat generating structure before entering the cleaning cavity. The airflow output from the intake pipe is hot air. The airflow may be heated by the heating structure after entering the cleaning cavity, in which case the airflow output from the intake pipe becomes hot air in the cleaning cavity. Of course, the airflow may be heated by the heating structure both before and after entering the cleaning cavity.

In addition, the material cleaning device in the above technical means provided in the present application may further have the following additional technical features.

In the above technical means, the heat generating structure includes a heat source for heating the air in the intake pipe in cooperation with the intake pipe, whereby the hot air flows from the intake pipe to the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe. Will be sent to.

Since the blower member can generate hot air in cooperation with the heat source, the hot air can enter the cleaning cavity through the intake pipe through the intake pipe and further enter the filth discharge pipe through the filth discharge port. The inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe are effectively dried, and the residual deposits such as starch are peeled off from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe, and are accompanied by the air flow. Since it is discharged, it effectively prevents the generation of mold in the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe, improves the cleanliness of the material cleaning device, and improves the reliability of use of the product.

In the above technical means, preferably, the heat source is located downstream of the blower member along the flow direction of the airflow, or the heat source is upstream side of the blower member along the flow direction of the airflow. Located in.

The heat source is located on the downstream side of the blower member along the flow direction of the airflow, that is, when the airflow blown out from the blower member reaches the part where the heat source is located and then heated by the heat source, it becomes hot air. The hot air enters the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe through the intake port, and effectively dries the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe.

The heat source is located upstream of the blower member along the flow direction of the air flow, that is, when the heat generated by the heat source is transferred to the portion where the blower member is located, the wind generated by the blower member becomes hot air. Then, the hot air enters the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe through the intake port, and effectively dries the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe.

As a matter of course, the heat generated by the heat source can flow in the intake pipe, and the airflow generated by the blower member can also flow in the intake pipe, so that the relative positional relationship between the heat source and the blower member. The specific distance is not particularly limited, and it is sufficient that the distance can be adjusted as needed during actual production, and hot air can be generated and sent to the intake port.

In the above technical means, the heat source includes one or more of a heating tube, an electric resistance wire, an electromagnetic induction heating member, and a far infrared heating member.

In the technical means, since the heat source mainly serves to heat the wind, there is no particular requirement for the specific type and number of heat sources, for example, a heating tube (connected in series in the intake pipe). It may be any of (is), an electric resistance wire (wound around an intake pipe), an electromagnetic induction heating member, and a far-infrared heating member, and may be any combination of heat sources of the above-mentioned form, and of course. However, it may be a heat source of another form, or may be an arbitrary combination of the heat source of another form and the heat source listed above, and is not listed here one by one. All of them are within the scope of protection of the present application because they can realize the object of the present application and neither of them deviates from the design concept and purpose of the present application.

The specific mounting of the heat source is not particularly limited. For example, the heating tube may be connected in series with the intake pipe, the electric resistance wire may be wound around the intake pipe, and the magnetic field line of the electromagnetic induction heating member penetrates the intake pipe having magnetic conductivity to induce heating. The intake pipe can absorb the infrared rays radiated from the far-infrared heating member and generate heat.

In the above technical means, preferably, the heat generation structure includes a heat source, and the blower member and the heat source are integrated as a hot air blower, whereby hot air is discharged from the intake pipe to the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe. Will be sent to.

When the blower member and the heat source are integrated as a hot air blower, the air blown from the hot air blower is hot air, which not only achieves the purpose of generating hot air, but also reduces the number of parts of the drying device and makes the product. It is advantageous for structural simplification and saves assembly space.

In any one of the above technical means, the blower member cooperates with the intake pipe to reduce the flow velocity of the hot air to 80 m / s or less.

In any one of the above technical means, the blower member cooperates with the intake pipe to reduce the flow rate of the hot air to 10 L / min or less.

If the flow velocity or flow rate of the hot air is too large, relatively loud noise is generated, and the piping is likely to become unstable or fall off. On the other hand, if the flow rate or flow rate of the hot air is too small, the drying efficiency for the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe is too low, and it is disadvantageous for discharging deposits such as starch. Therefore, it is very important to rationally control the flow velocity and flow rate of hot air.

Our engineers have discovered the following through numerous experiments and investigations. By rationally selecting the type and output of the blower member and rationally selecting the specifications of the intake pipe, the blower member is made to cooperate with the intake pipe, and the flow velocity of hot air is within the range of 80 m / s or less. If the temperature is controlled to 30 m / s, the flow rate of hot air is controlled within the range of 10 L / min or less, and preferably 4 L / min, not only the drying effect is good, but also the usability of the material cleaning device is improved. Usage reliability can be ensured.

In any one of the above technical means, the material discharge port can communicate with the cooking chamber of the cooking utensil, and the material discharge port is provided with a material discharge valve for opening and closing the material discharge port.

By providing the material discharge valve in the material discharge port, the material discharge port can be selectively opened and closed, and the open / closed state of the material discharge port can be adapted to the specific operation procedure of the cookware. Use reliability is improved. Specifically, during material transfer and cleaning, the material discharge valve closes the material discharge port to prevent material leakage from the cleaning cavity, and after cleaning of the material is completed, the material discharge valve is used as the material. The discharge port is opened to facilitate smooth discharge of the material in the cleaning cavity, and after the material has been discharged, the material discharge valve closes the material discharge port and hot air blows through the filth discharge port. It facilitates entry into the discharge pipe, which prevents some hot air from being discharged from the material discharge port, thereby improving the utilization of hot air and ensuring effective drying of the filth discharge pipe.

In the above technical means, the material discharge valve is a heat conductive member capable of conducting heat in the cooking chamber to the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe, and the material discharge valve is included in the heat generation structure.

Since the material discharge valve is a heat conductive member and is attached to the material discharge port of the cleaning cavity, and the material discharge port communicates with the cooking chamber of the cooking utensil, the temperature in the cooking chamber gradually rises during cooking. When the temperature rises, the temperature of the material discharge valve also gradually rises, and at this time, the material discharge valve corresponds to a heat generating structure and gradually raises the temperature in the cleaning cavity. Furthermore, by heating the airflow sent into the cooking chamber by the blower member, the airflow becomes hot air and further enters the filth discharge pipe, so that the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe are effective. After drying, the residual deposits such as starch are peeled off from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe, and are discharged with the air flow. It effectively prevents the occurrence, improves the cleanliness of the material cleaning equipment, and improves the reliability of use of the product. In addition, by directly utilizing the high efficiency heat transfer of the material discharge valve during cooking without the need to add another heat source, the temperature of the cleaning cavity and the sewage discharge pipe can be increased, which is generated by the fan. Dry the sewage discharge pipe and cleaning cavity with airflow to prevent mold, thereby simplifying the product structure and saving energy consumption.

In the above technical means, the bottom wall of the cleaning cavity is partially recessed downward to form a concave groove, and the material discharge port is opened in the bottom wall of the concave groove.

Since the bottom wall of the cleaning cavity is partially recessed downward to form a concave groove and the material discharge port is opened in the bottom wall of the concave groove, the material discharge port is located further downward, so that the material discharge valve is also Located further down. When provided in this way, the heater in the cooking chamber is generally located below the bottom of the cooking chamber, so that the distance between the material discharge valve and the heater is reduced, and the heating rate of the material discharge valve is improved. The drying efficiency of the drying apparatus is further improved.

In the above technical means, the material discharge valve is located in the concave groove, and the bottom thereof protrudes from the material discharge port.

The material discharge valve is located in the concave groove, and its bottom protrudes from the material discharge port, which not only lowers the position of the material discharge valve, but also increases the contact area between the material discharge valve and the air in the cooking chamber. Therefore, the rate of temperature rise of the material discharge valve is further improved, and the drying efficiency of the drying device is further improved.

In any one of the above technical means, the heat conductive member is a metal member and / or the material discharge valve is a ball valve.

The heat conductive member is a metal member, and the metal member has excellent heat conduction performance and can realize efficient heat transfer, so that the drying efficiency is improved. In addition, the metal member has excellent height and strength, is not easily distorted, and can effectively close the material discharge port, which is advantageous for long-term use. As a matter of course, the material of the heat conductive member is not limited to the metal member, but may be a ceramic member, a glass member, or the like, and is not listed here one by one. All of them are within the scope of protection of the present application because they can realize the object of the present application and neither of them deviates from the design concept and purpose of the present application.

The material discharge valve is a ball valve, and since the ball valve can be automatically adjusted to the correct position by the action of gravity, effective closing of the material discharge port can be realized. In addition, since the lower part of the ball valve can protrude from the material discharge port, the temperature rise rate of the material discharge valve is further improved by increasing the size of the material discharge valve extending into the cooking chamber, and the drying device is dried. It is advantageous for the efficiency to be further improved. As a matter of course, the material of the material discharge valve is not limited to a spherical shape, and may be a plate shape, a block shape, a conical shape, or another shape, and is not listed here one by one. All of them are within the scope of protection of the present application because they can realize the object of the present application and neither of them deviates from the design concept and purpose of the present application.

The specific drive system of the ball valve is not particularly limited. For example, a drive mechanism may be provided above the ball valve, the drive mechanism including a vertically extending drive rod, which is connected to the ball valve via a universal joint and by vertical linear motion to the ball valve. Is driven and moved up and down to open and close the material discharge port. Alternatively, the drive mechanism includes a lever extending in the horizontal direction, the lever is connected to the ball valve via a rope, and the ball valve is driven by vertical swing to move up and down to open and close the material discharge port.

A material transport cavity provided with an air outlet abutting and communicating with an end, a material transport cavity provided with a material outlet, an input end abutting and communicating with the material outlet, and an output end abutting the intake port. Further includes a material transfer pipe to communicate with.

Since the material cleaning device further includes a storage box, a material transfer cavity, and a material transfer tube, the material cleaning device has a storage function and an automatic material transfer function, and realizes pneumatic material transfer using a blower member. Further, the material transport cavity and the material transfer pipe can be dried by utilizing the blower member and the heat source, and mold can be prevented from being generated in the material transfer cavity and the material transfer pipe. Specifically, since the material discharge port of the storage box communicates with the material supply port of the material transport cavity, the material in the storage box can enter the material transport cavity and be relayed. In the material transport cavity, the air outlet is butted against the output end of the intake pipe and communicated, the material outlet is butted against the input end of the material transport pipe and communicated, and the output end of the material transport pipe is the intake of the cleaning cavity. Since the air is abutted against the mouth and communicated with the air, the air generated by the blower member enters the material transport cavity via the intake pipe, and further enters the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe via the material transport pipe. The intake port is used for both intake and material supply. In this way, when it is necessary to supply the material to the cleaning cavity, the airflow member is activated and the material in the material transporting cavity is blown into the cleaning cavity by using the air flow, so that the material is transported by air pressure. The material transfer by air pressure has the advantage of being clean and pollution-free. When the heat source and the blower member are started at the same time after the material transfer is completed, the hot air dries the material transfer cavity and the material transfer tube, and removes the deposits such as starch remaining in the material transfer cavity and the material transfer tube. This prevents mold from forming in the material transport cavity and the material transport pipe. After the material cleaning is completed, the cleaned sewage is discharged through the sewage discharge pipe, and the material is discharged through the material discharge port. At this time, the heat source and the blower member are started at the same time, and the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe are dried by using the hot air, and the deposits such as starch remaining in the cleaning cavity and the filth discharge pipe are removed. Prevents mold from forming in the cleaning cavity and waste discharge pipe.

As a matter of course, the drying device of the present application may be used only for drying the material transfer cavity and the material transfer tube. For example, the output end of the material transfer tube communicates with the inner pot to carry the material. After the material is directly fed into the inner pot and the material transfer is completed, the heat source and the blower member are started at the same time to dry the material transfer cavity and the material transfer tube, and the starch remaining in the material transfer cavity and the material transfer tube. It removes deposits such as, and prevents the formation of mold in the material transport cavity and the material transport pipe.

Selective opening and closing is realized, which not only facilitates the realization of quantitative transfer of material, but also facilitates the emptying of the material transfer cavity, so that hot air can smoothly pass through the material transfer cavity. It facilitates and provides a drying function for material transport cavities, material transport pipes, cleaning cavities, and filth discharge pipes.

As shown in FIG. 1, the material cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes a cleaning cavity 90, a filth discharge pipe 100, and a drying device.

As shown in FIG. 1, the material cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes a cleaning cavity 90, a filth discharge pipe 100, and a drying device.

Therefore, the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100 are effectively dried, and residual deposits such as starch are peeled off from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100. At the same time, since it is discharged with the air flow, it effectively prevents the generation of mold in the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100, improves the cleanliness of the material cleaning device, and improves the reliability of product use. improves.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heat source is located on the upstream side of the blower member 30 along the flow direction of the air flow.

Therefore, it is very important to reasonably control the flow velocity and flow rate of hot air.

Our engineers have discovered the following through numerous experiments and investigations. By rationally selecting the type and output of the blower member 30 and rationally selecting the specifications of the intake pipe 60, the blower member 30 and the intake pipe 60 are made to cooperate with each other, and the flow velocity of hot air (for example, intake air) is rationally selected.

Therefore, the reliability of use of cooking utensils is improved. Specifically, during material transfer and cleaning, the material discharge valve 110 closes the material discharge port 93 to prevent material leakage from the cleaning cavity 90, and after the material cleaning is completed, the material is discharged. The valve 110 opens the material discharge port 93 to facilitate smooth discharge of the material in the cleaning cavity 90, and after the material discharge is completed, the material discharge valve 110 closes the material discharge port 93 to generate hot air.

The hot air enters the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100 through the intake port 91, and effectively dries the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100.

Preferably, the flow rate of hot air is 30 m / s.

Further, the blower member 30 cooperates with the intake pipe 60 to control the flow rate of hot air to 10 L / min or less.

Preferably, the flow rate of hot air is 10 L / min.

If the flow velocity or flow rate of the hot air is too large, relatively loud noise is generated, and the piping is likely to become unstable or fall off. If the flow rate or flow rate of the hot air is too small, the drying efficiency for the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100 is too low, and it is disadvantageous for discharging deposits such as starch. Therefore, it is very important to reasonably control the flow velocity and flow rate of hot air.

Our engineers have discovered the following through numerous experiments and investigations. By rationally selecting the type and output of the blower member 30 and rationally selecting the specifications of the intake pipe 60, the blower member 30 and the intake pipe 60 are made to cooperate with each other, and the flow velocity of hot air (for example, intake air) is rationally selected. The flow rate in the mouth, the filth discharge port, the intake pipe, and the blower member is controlled within the range of 80 m / s or less, preferably 30 m / s, and the flow rate of hot air (for example, in the intake port, the filth discharge port, the intake pipe, etc.) When the flow rate of the blower member) is controlled within the range of 10 L / min or less, preferably 4 L / min, not only the drying effect is good, but also the comfort and reliability of the material cleaning device are ensured.

Further, the material discharge port 93 is provided with a material discharge valve 110 for opening and closing the material discharge port 93.

By providing the material discharge valve 110 in the material discharge port 93, the material discharge port 93 can be selectively opened and closed, and the open / closed state of the material discharge port 93 can be adapted to the specific operation procedure of the cooking utensil. Therefore, the reliability of use of cooking utensils is improved. Specifically, during material transfer and cleaning, the material discharge valve 110 closes the material discharge port 93 to prevent material leakage from the cleaning cavity 90, and after the material cleaning is completed, the material is discharged. The valve 110 opens the material discharge port 93 to facilitate smooth discharge of the material in the cleaning cavity 90, and after the material discharge is completed, the material discharge valve 110 closes the material discharge port 93 to generate hot air. It facilitates entry into the sewage discharge pipe 100 through the sewage discharge port 92, thereby preventing some hot air from being discharged from the material discharge port 93, thereby improving the utilization rate of the hot air and discharging the sewage. Ensure that the tube 100 is effectively dried.

Since the air is abutted against and communicated with the intake port 91 of the cleaning cavity 90, the air generated by the blower member 30 enters the material transfer cavity 40 via the intake pipe 60, and further enters the material transfer cavity 40 via the material transfer pipe 70 for cleaning. Since it enters the cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100, the intake port 91 is used for both intake and supply of materials at this time.

In this way, when it is necessary to supply the material to the cleaning cavity 90, the air pressure is obtained by activating the blower member 30 and blowing the material in the material transporting cavity 40 into the cleaning cavity 90 by using the air flow. Material transfer is realized in the air pressure, and the material supply by air pressure has the advantage of being clean and pollution-free. When the heat source and the blower member 30 are started at the same time after the material transfer is completed, the hot air dries the material transfer cavity 40 and the material transfer pipe 70, and the starch remaining in the material transfer cavity 40 and the material transfer pipe 70. In order to remove deposits such as, mold is prevented from being generated in the material transport cavity 40 and the material transport pipe 70. After the material cleaning is completed, the cleaned sewage is discharged through the sewage discharge pipe 100, and the material is discharged from the material discharge port 93. At this time, the heat source and the blower member 30 are started at the same time, and the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100 are dried by using the hot air, and the deposits such as starch remaining in the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100 are removed. In order to remove it, mold is prevented from being generated in the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100.

As a matter of course, the drying device of the present application may be used only for drying the material transfer cavity 40 and the material transfer pipe 70, for example, the output end of the material transfer pipe 70 communicates with the inner pan 50. Then, the material is directly sent to the inner pot 50. As shown in FIG. 2, after the material transfer is completed, the heat source and the blower member 30 are started at the same time to dry the material transfer cavity 40 and the material transfer pipe 70, and the material transfer cavity 40 and the material transfer pipe 70. In order to remove the deposits such as starch remaining in the material transport cavity 40, it is possible to prevent mold from being generated in the material transport cavity 40 and the material transport pipe 70.

A material lowering valve 20 for controlling opening and closing between the material discharge port 11 and the material supply port 41 is further provided between the material discharge port 11 and the material supply port 41, whereby the storage box 10 and the material transfer are provided. Selective opening and closing between the cavity 40 and the cavity 40 has been realized, which not only facilitated the realization of quantitative transfer of material, but also made it easier to empty the cavity 40 for material transfer, so that hot air transfers the material. It becomes easy to pass through the cavity 40 smoothly, and the drying function for the material transfer cavity 40, the material transfer pipe 70, the cleaning cavity 90, and the filth discharge pipe 100 is realized.

When the temperature gradually rises, the temperature of the material discharge valve 110 also gradually rises. At this time, the material discharge valve 110 corresponds to a heat generating structure and gradually raises the temperature in the cleaning cavity 90. Further, by heating the airflow blown into the cooking chamber by the blower member 30, the airflow becomes hot air and further enters the filth discharge pipe 100, so that the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inside of the filth discharge pipe 100 The wall surface is effectively dried, and residual deposits such as starch are peeled off from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100, and are discharged with the air flow. Further, the generation of mold on the filth discharge pipe 100 is effectively prevented, the cleanliness of the material cleaning device is improved, and the usage reliability of the product is improved. In addition, the temperature of the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100 can be increased by directly utilizing the high-efficiency heat transfer of the material discharge valve 110 during cooking without the need to add another heat source. Together with the generated airflow, the filth discharge pipe 100 and the cleaning cavity 90 are dried to prevent the formation of mold, thereby simplifying the product structure and saving energy consumption.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom wall of the cleaning cavity 90 is partially recessed downward to form a concave groove 94, and the material discharge port 93 is provided in the bottom wall of the concave groove 94.

Since the bottom wall of the cleaning cavity 90 is partially recessed downward to form a concave groove 94 and the material discharge port 93 is opened in the bottom wall of the concave groove 94, the material discharge port 93 is located further downward. , The material discharge valve 110 is also located below. However, when provided in this way, the heater 82 of the cooking chamber is generally located below the bottom of the cooking chamber, so that the distance between the material discharge valve 110 and the heater 82 becomes small, and the material discharge valve 110 rises. It is advantageous to improve the temperature rate, thereby further improving the drying efficiency of the drying device.

Further, the material discharge valve 110 is located in the concave groove 94, and its bottom portion protrudes from the material discharge port 93.

The hot air that is peeled off from the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100 and is discharged with the air flow or sent into the cleaning cavity 90 by the intake pipe 60 during cooking is a material discharge valve in the cleaning cavity 90. The temperature is further raised by the heating action of 110 before entering the filth discharge pipe 100. As a result, the drying efficiency for the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100 is further improved, and residual deposits such as starch are removed from the inner wall surface of the cleaning cavity 90 and the inner wall surface of the filth discharge pipe 100. Since it is advantageous for being discharged with the air flow as well as being peeled off, it is more effective to prevent the generation of mold in the cleaning cavity 90 and the filth discharge pipe 100, and the cleanliness of the material cleaning device is improved. , The usage reliability of the product is improved.

The relative positional relationship and the specific distance are not particularly limited, and it is sufficient that the hot air can be adjusted as necessary during actual production and hot air can be generated and sent to the intake port 91.

Example 8 (not shown)

The difference from the sixth embodiment is that the blower member 30 and the heat source are integrated as a hot air blower.
