Steam valves and cooking appliances

Abstract

The invention provides a steam valve and a cooking appliance. The steam valve comprises a valve cover provided with a receiving cavity and a valve core provided in the receiving cavity. The valve cover is provided with an air inlet port and an air outlet port respectively communicated with the accommodating cavity, and the air inlet port is communicated with the pot body cavity of the cooking appliance; the valve core comprises a core body provided with a water storage chamber adapted to communicate with the inner cavity of the pot; a retaining rib structure arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the core body and surrounded by the inner cavity wall of the accommodation chamber to form a fluid channel suitable for supplying steam and condensate; a water retaining structure disposed on the fluid channel and adapted to block at least a portion of the condensed water refluxing in the fluid channel; the water outlet arranged on the core body, communicating with the water storage chamberand the fluid channel, and locating near the water retaining structure, and being adapted to guide the condensate blocked by the water retaining structure into the water storage chamber. The water retaining structure and the water outlet are arranged, the condensed water can flow into the inn cavity of the pot through the water storage cavity, and the condensed water is not easy to be pushed by the steam and is convenient to be refluxed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a steam valve and a cooking appliance with the steam valve. Background technique [0002] Cooking appliances such as electric rice cookers, electric pressure cookers, etc., need to be provided with a steam valve, which is used to prevent the ingredients in the cooker from overflowing, collect condensed water, and guide the condensed water to flow back into the cooking appliance. [0003] Traditional steam valves are usually provided with air inlets for steam entering the steam valve and return ports for condensed water to flow out of the steam valve at two radially spaced positions on the valve seat; To collect condensed water and return it to the pot, it is necessary to install multiple retaining ribs at intervals in the radial direction of the steam valve, which will increase the size of the steam valve and reduce the space utilization rate. coordination etc. [0004...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the steam valve in the prior art, such as complex structure, large space occupation, or difficult condensed water return, so as to provide a simple structure, small occupied space, and convenient condensed water return. steam valves and cooking appliances
