Micro-pressure steam valve for electric rice cooker and electric rice cooker

Abstract

The invention provides a micropressure steam valve of an electric rice cooker. The micropressure steam valve comprises an upper valve shell, a lower valve shell and a counterweight, wherein the lower valve shell is fastened with the upper valve shell, and the counterweight is arranged in a space formed by the upper valve shell and the lower valve shell. The top of the upper valve shell is provided with an exhaust hole, the bottom of the lower valve shell extends upwardly to form a step-shaped upright, the lower end of the upright is hollowed to form air inlet ends, and the air inlet ends upwardly extend to penetrate a step of the upright to form air inlet holes. The counterweight sleeves the upper end of the upright. The invention further provides the electric rice cooker. The inside of the electric rice cooker is kept in a micropressure state through the micropressure steam valve according to structural design, steam generated by boiling liquid in the electric rice cooker is discharged in time, most steam is liquefied and flows back in the steam valve, and temperature of the discharged steam is reduced. The micropressure steam valve has an overpressure protection function and is capable of avoiding too high pressure of the steam in the electric rice cooker. The electric rice cooker with the micropressure steam valve is safe, energy saving and capable of meeting requirements of modern life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of household appliances, in particular to a micro-pressure steam valve for an electric rice cooker and an electric rice cooker with the micro-pressure steam valve. Background technique [0002] Rice cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses electric heat to cook food. Its working temperature is mostly around 100°C. It can perform various cooking operations such as steaming, boiling, stewing, simmering, and braising. It can not only cook food, but also keep it warm. Clean and hygienic, no pollution, time-saving and labor-saving, it is one of the indispensable appliances for the modernization of housework. [0003] The lid of the rice cooker is often equipped with a steam outlet. When cooking, when the pressure reaches a certain value, part of the steam will be discharged from the steam outlet to ensure the safety of the rice cooker. The setting of the steam outlet also needs to maintain the pressure inside the rice cooke...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Some existing electric cookers use a steam outlet on the lid, and the steam is discharged from the steam outlet after the pressure in the cooker reaches a certain value. Since the lid and the rice cooker are simply fastened together, the steam cannot be released after the liquid in the cooker boils. Discharge in time, lift the lid under the action of pressure inside the pot, and the liquid in the pot overflows from the edge of the pot
