Steam valve and electric cooker comprising the steam valve

Abstract

The invention provides a steam valve and an electric cooker comprising the steam valve. According to the invention, the steam valve comprises a valve body (10), a valve cap (30) and a valve seat (20), wherein the valve body (10) is provided with an air outlet (101) opening upwards; the valve cap (30) is arranged at the upper end of the valve body (10) and provided with an opening corresponding to the air outlet (101); the valve seat (20) is arranged at the lower end of the valve body (10); the bottom of the valve seat (20) is provided with an air inlet (201); and the air inlet (201) is provided with a returnable air retainer. According to the invention, the steam valve can effectively break foams, has good anti-spilling effect and can allow pressure difference to be generated inside the electric cooker so as to increase the cooking mouthfeel of rice. According to the invention, the electric cooker comprises the steam valve.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of kitchen electric heating appliances, in particular to a steam valve and an electric rice cooker including the steam valve. Background technique [0002] Among the rice cooker products currently on the market, the steam valve installed on the surface cover of the rice cooker is generally composed of a valve cover and a valve body. The valve cover is buckled on the valve body. The return hole, when cooking, the rice soup steam in the inner pot enters the valve body from the air intake hole, and the rice soup bubbles break into rice soup when passing through the air hole, and then flow into the inner pot through the return hole, so as to prevent water loss. However, with such a structure, when the rice soup bubbles enter the valve body from the air inlet hole, it only has a good effect on breaking the larger bubbles. The holes are discharged directly. At the same time, a single return hole is used for backflow. If t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At the same time, a single return hole is used for reflux. If there is a blockage of rice grains, it is easy to cause rice soup to overflow from the steam valve body, and rice soup steam will enter through the return hole to re-form air bubbles. When the air bubbles accumulate in the valve body, they will also pass through the valve cover. The hole on the top is discharged, and the anti-overflow effect cannot be achieved

In addition, because the channel provided on the valve body communicates with the outside, micro-pressure cannot be formed in the rice cooker, and the rice in the pot will not taste good due to excessive moisture loss.
