Hereinafter, the assembly and operation of the first embodiment of the cooking steam supplying apparatus of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described.

The main body 10 and the receiving portion 20 are sequentially arranged on the upper side of the base member 13 and the main body 10 and the receiving portion 20 A plurality of pivotal members 31 are connected to the rear side of the elastic member 33 to provide a joint portion 30 in a state where the elastic member 33 is engaged.

The main body 10 is provided with two different supply pipes 41. One end of each supply pipe 41 is connected by a control valve 43 and one auxiliary pipe 42 is provided, The supply pipe 41 coupled to each side of the main body 10 is connected to the control valve 43 separately from the main pipe 41 and is connected to the inside of the two joint parts 30, To the upper support member 61 in the state of FIG.

The upper support member 61 is disposed to be in close contact with the engagement hole 53 at the upper side of the lid portion 50 and at the lower side of the lid portion 50 with the upper surface of the guide member 62 being in close contact therewith, A fixing member 63 is inserted into the fixing hole 64 and the coupling hole 53 so that the guide member 62 and the lid unit 50 and the upper support member 61 are firmly coupled.

The upper support member 61 is provided with a pressure gauge 44 for measuring the pressure discharged from the supply pipe 41 to the steam discharge side from the supply pipe 41 and a pressure control valve 45 for regulating the discharge pressure Can be installed.

The fixing member 63 may be inserted to the inside of the upper support member 61 or the outside of the upper support member 61 and each of them may be coupled in a manner such as a screw connection or a fit- .

A separate case 15 is provided below the base member 13 and the main body 10 and below the lid 50 so that the components coupled to the main body 10 and the main body 10 are not exposed to the outside. As shown in FIG.

Although two joint portions 30 are provided in the present embodiment so that the supply pipe 41 and the control valve 43 are provided on both sides of the body 10, The number of the supply pipe 41 and the number of the control valve 43 can be increased correspondingly.

The above-described configuration and the cooking steam supply device coupled therewith operate as follows.

The water contained in the main body 10 is heated by the heating means 11 to generate steam and the user places the container 70 on the upper surface of the receiving portion 20 and then adjusts the joint portion 30, So that the upper surface of the container 70 is positioned in the spaced space between the central portion 52 of the lid portion 50 and the rim portion 51. [

Since the joint portion 30 is freely deformable at a predetermined position and angle and is fixed at the deformed position, even if the container 70 having a variety of sizes and shapes is used instead of the steam-dedicated container 70, 50 can be easily covered on the upper surface of the container 70, and thus the material contained in the container 70 can be uniformly ripened.

Thereafter, when the steam is discharged through the controller for a predetermined time, the steam is discharged into the vessel 70 through the pipe portion 40 and the nozzle portion 60.

In this case, when the two supply pipes 41 are used at the same time, the control valve 43 is opened to supply steam to the supply pipe 41 so that steam of the same pressure is supplied to the two supply pipes 41, ) Is blocked.

In the case of using only one of the two supply pipes 41, the control valve 43 blocks the supply of steam to the remaining supply pipes 41 other than the supply pipe 41 to be used, So that steam is supplied.

Accordingly, when one of the supply pipes 41 is used, the supply pipe 41 is used as much as the pressure of the unused supply pipe 41 through the opened auxiliary pipe 42, The material contained in the container 70 can be staked (fried) more quickly than when using the container 70. [

That is, when two supply pipes 41 are used, steam is supplied at half the pressure as compared with when one supply pipe 41 is used, but two containers can be cooked at the same time. On the contrary, when one supply pipe 41 is used, The steam is supplied at twice the pressure as compared with the case of using the four supply pipes 41, so that the steam can be cooked for a longer time.

At this time, the reduced water in the main body 10 is measured by the water level regulating unit 12, and when the amount is reduced to a predetermined amount or less, the supply motor 14 is operated to supply water into the main body 10, It is possible to maintain a constant water height at all times and thus it is possible to provide steam for a long time or repeatedly.

Steam is not directly supplied to the material in the direction of the bottom surface of the container 70 but through the hole 66 of the fixing member 63 and the groove 65 of the guide member 62, It is advantageous in that the material in the container 70 is not only uniformly ripened but also the material is prevented from being crushed or excessive moisture in the container 70 can be prevented from being generated.

Since the cover 50 is not a simple curved or square shape but an outer surface of the central portion 52 protruding upward is curved, the steam can naturally flow into the lower side of the container 70 along the curved surface Since the upper surface of the vessel 70 is located in the space provided in the central portion 52 and the rim portion 51 so that the steam can be prevented from escaping from the vessel 70 and stays in the vessel 70 for a long time And the material can be uniformly stuck.

When the pressure of the steam supplied into the vessel 70 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined amount and the pressure of the steam supplied into the vessel 70 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, The opening of the opening hole 54 is opened to discharge the steam of the excess pressure so that the shape of the container 70 can be deformed or the material can be prevented from being overcooked have.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be embodied in various forms of embodiments within the scope of the appended claims. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
