Electric cooker

Abstract

The invention provides an electric cooker. The electric cooker comprises a cooker body and an inner pot arranged in the cooker body, wherein the cooker body comprises a base and a surface cover covering the base and sealing the inner pot; a steam generation device for generating high-temperature steam and a steam introduction tube which is communicated with the steam generation device and introduces the high-temperature steam into the inner pot are arranged in the cooker body; the steam generation device comprises a water inlet device and a heating device, the water inlet device is used for introducing water into the heating device in a water-level controllable manner, the water surface atomized by the heating device is enabled to keep at a fixed height, the lower part of the heating device directly atomizes or heats water introduced by the water inlet device, low-temperature steam is formed and then moves the upper part of the heating device, the upper part of the heating device heats the water mist, and the high-temperature steam is formed accordingly. The lower part of the heating device is only used for heating water in a hot water area, the upper part of the heating device is used for heating the water mist, the high-temperature steam is rapidly generated, rice on the upper layer in the inner pot is prevented from being dried, rice gelatinization is promoted, and cooking performance is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a kitchen appliance, in particular to an electric rice cooker. Background technique [0002] Panasonic rice cooker patent 2004100055886 mentions that water passes through a steam generating device and a steam heating device, and finally becomes high-temperature superheated steam, which is introduced into the rice cooker, so that the upper layer of rice does not dry out, and promotes the paste of the rice, improving cooking. performance. This patent adopts two heating methods. First, the steam generating device is used to heat the water into saturated steam, and then the steam heating device installed on the upper cover is used to convert the saturated steam into superheated steam, which has the following disadvantages: [0003] 1. It is not energy-saving, you can’t heat as much steam as you need, every time you heat the water in the container. [0004] 2. The amount of steam entering the pot cannot be accurately controlled, f...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Not energy-saving, you can’t heat as much steam as you need, every time you heat the water in the container

[0004] 2. The amount of steam entering the pot cannot be accurately controlled, for example: when the steam required in the pot is sufficient, but the boiling water generated by the steam generating device is still generating water vapor, so the amount of steam cannot be controlled

[0005] 3. Since it needs to be heated twice, the heat insulation requirements of the related parts and materials of the rice cooker are increased, which increases the cost
