Steam Valves and Cooking Appliances

Abstract

The invention provides a steam valve and a cooking utensil. The steam valve comprises a valve body and a foam breaking component, wherein the valve body is provided with a steam chamber, and a steam inlet and a steam outlet are formed in the steam chamber; the foam breaking component is arranged in the steam chamber and provided with a foam breaking chamber; an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the steam inlet are formed in the foam breaking chamber; and an elastic valve is arranged at the air outlet in a covering mode to open or close the air outlet. According to the steam valve, the air outlet of the foam breaking chamber is opened or closed through the elastic deformation of the elastic valve; the greater the steam pressure in the steam valve is, the greater the degree of opening of the elastic valve is, the greater the squeezing effect of the elastic valve on steam with rice and soup and the like is, so that the beneficial effects of preventing debris from clogging out of the air outlet, breaking rice soup foams, making the rice soup not easy to overflow and the like are achieved; and the elastic valve is in contact with the foam breaking component elastically in the process of opening or closing the air outlet without noise, so that the performance of the product is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils, more specifically, to a steam valve and a cooking appliance including the steam valve. Background technique [0002] At present, cooking utensils on the market, such as electric rice cookers, are usually provided with a steam valve, which controls the closing and opening of the air outlet through the balance between the gravity of the ball and the internal pressure of the electric rice cooker. [0003] However, because the spherical object cannot be designed too large, if it is too large, the gravity of the spherical object will be too large, and the internal pressure of the rice cooker cannot support the spherical object, and in order to support the spherical object, the width of the matching position of the air outlet channel and the spherical object must be smaller than that of the spherical object. The diameter of the food, so the air outlet channel will form an outlet bottleneck here,...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, because the spherical object cannot be designed too large, if it is too large, the gravity of the spherical object will be too large, and the internal pressure of the rice cooker cannot support the spherical object. The diameter of the object, so the air outlet channel will form an outlet bottleneck here, which may be blocked by rice grains or other fines, resulting in the failure of the rice cooker to exhaust normally, and the pressure inside the rice cooker is too high, which may cause an explosion hazard; secondly, in the During the working process, the ball keeps rolling and colliding with surrounding parts to generate noise, which affects the performance of the product
