[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] As Figure 1-2 shown, the cooker P in this embodiment includes:

[0030] A main body portion 1, which has a power installation area S1 and a cooking working area S2 inside, and the bottom installation area S1 is located above the working area S2;

[0031] A base 2, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the main body portion 1 (including screws / bolts, snap connections, clamping connections, etc.), facilitating its separation from the main body portion 1;

[0032] The stirring cup 9 is detachably arranged in the steaming working area S2 and is used for containing the liquid water that generates water vapor;

[0033] The transmission assembly is installed inside the main body 1 and specifically includes: a driving motor 3 installed in the power installation area S1, and its power output shaft 31 extends into the steaming working area S2 in a direction away from the base; a controller 4 (including a PCB board, etc.) attached to the outer peripheral wall of the driving motor 3 and electrically connected to the driving motor 3, thereby reducing the installation space, used to control the start of the driving motor 3 and control the driving motor 3 to reduce the rotational speed to 0 within 0.5 - 1.5 s; and a switch electrically connected to the controller 4, used to supply power to the controller 4 through an opening and closing action, further enabling the controller 4 to control the action of the driving motor 3;

[0034] The heating plate 5' is arranged at the bottom of the stirring cup 9 and is electrically connected to the controller 4 to start / stop heating the liquid water contained in the stirring cup 9 under the control of the controller 4; preferably, the heating plate 5' is in contact with the bottom of the stirring cup 9 to increase the heating area. At the same time, the heating plate 5' and / or the bottom of the stirring cup 9 are made of a heat-conducting material with good heat conductivity such as aluminum;

[0035] The steaming assembly is arranged in the stirring cup 9 and can move along the power output shaft 31 of the driving motor 3 under the drive of the driving motor 3, used to support raw materials (such as food, etc.). When the steaming assembly is in the first position, the heating plate 5' is turned on, and the raw materials are heated by the water vapor generated by heating the liquid water through the heating plate 5'. When the steaming assembly is in the second position, the driving motor 3 is turned on, and the driving motor 3 drives the steaming assembly to rotate around the power output shaft 31 to achieve steaming of the raw materials; in this embodiment, as Figure 3-6As shown, the steaming assembly includes: a spiral shaft 5 sleeved outside the power output shaft 31 of the driving motor 3 and rotating synchronously with the power output shaft 31. The outer surface of the spiral shaft 5 is provided with a spiral groove 51, a top knife groove 52 and a bottom knife groove 53. Among them, the spiral angle φ of the spiral groove 51 satisfies φ ≤ 60° (preferably 30° ≤ φ ≤ 45°). A top blocking portion 521 for preventing the following limiting member 8 from disengaging from the top knife groove 52 is provided in the top knife groove 52, and a bottom blocking portion 531 for preventing the following limiting member 8 from disengaging from the bottom knife groove 53 is provided in the bottom knife groove 53; a socket portion 6 sleeved outside the spiral shaft 5; and a cutter head 7 detachably connected to the socket portion 6 and extending in the radial direction for supporting raw materials, capable of rotating around the power output shaft 31 of the driving motor 3, and moving along the power output shaft 31 of the driving motor 3 together with the socket portion 6. Further, the cutter head 7 is provided with air holes 71 for steam to pass through. There are 2 cutter heads 7, and the rotation planes of the two cutter heads 7 do not coincide, thereby enabling sufficient extrusion, crushing and steaming of the raw materials. At the same time, the cutter head 7 and the socket portion 6 can also be integrally formed; a limiting member 8 (such as a pin, etc.) installed on the outer peripheral surface of the socket portion 6, matching with the spiral groove 51, capable of rising / falling along the spiral groove 51 to enter the top knife groove 52 or the bottom knife groove 53. When the limiting member 8 enters the top knife groove 52, the whole steaming assembly is located at the first position. When the limiting member 8 enters the bottom knife groove 53, the whole steaming assembly is located at the second position; at the same time, when the limiting member 8 enters the top knife groove 52, synchronous rotation with the power output shaft 31 and the spiral shaft 5 is achieved by abutting against the top blocking portion 521. When the limiting member 8 enters the bottom knife groove 53, synchronous rotation with the power output shaft 31 and the spiral shaft 5 is achieved by abutting against the bottom blocking portion 531.

[0036] In addition, the steamer further includes other accessory structures, such as: Figure 1, as shown in Figure 7, there is an upper cover 10, whose movable cover is arranged above the mixing cup 9 and is provided with an exhaust valve 101 for discharging internal gas; a handle 11, which is connected to the main body 1; a coupling 12, which is sleeved outside the power output shaft 31 of the driving motor 3; a temperature sensor 13 (such as an NTC temperature sensor, etc.), which is arranged on the heating plate 5', for real-time monitoring of the temperature of the heating plate 5; an operation panel 14 (such as a liquid crystal display panel, etc.), which is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 1, for displaying the real-time temperature of the heating plate 5 and controlling the heating temperature of the heating plate 5'; a safety switch assembly, which is connected to the upper cover 10 and the controller 4, for triggering the controller 4 when the upper cover 10 is in a predetermined position, and at this time the controller 4 can control the driving motor 3 to act. Specifically, the safety switch assembly includes: a safety link 15, which is connected to the upper cover 10; a first safety switch 16, which is connected to the safety link 15; a second safety switch 17, which is respectively connected to the first safety switch 16 and the controller 4. During the process of covering the upper cover 10, the safety link 15 moves accordingly. When the upper cover 10 is properly covered, the safety link 15 is in a specific position and simultaneously triggers the first safety switch 16, and then triggers the second safety switch 17 through the first safety switch 16, and the second safety switch 17 triggers the controller 4. Only at this time is the controller 4 in an active state. Further, by turning on the switch, the controller 4 can control the driving motor 3 to generate an action.

[0037] The working process of the steamer of the present invention is as follows:

[0038] As Figure 8-9 shown, open the upper cover 11, pour water W into the mixing cup 9; sleeve the socket part 6 on the spiral shaft 5 and fix it, and the limiting part 8 enters and gets stuck in the top cutter groove 52. At this time, the whole steaming component is located at the first position on the spiral shaft 5 away from the heating plate 5'; place the raw material F on the cutter disc 5, cover the upper cover 10, start the heating plate 5' through the controller 4, and steam the food by using the steam generated by heating the liquid water; after the food is steamed, as Figure 10-11 shown, start the driving motor 3 and the spiral shaft 5 to rotate synchronously through the controller 4. The limiting part 8 descends along the spiral groove 51 to stop in the bottom cutter groove 53 near the heating plate 5. At this time, the whole steaming component is located at the second position. Then start the driving motor 3 to reverse again through the controller 4. The limiting part 8 abuts against the bottom blocking part 531 of the bottom cutter groove 53, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the cutter disc 7, the power output shaft 31 and the spiral shaft 5. Further, the two cutter discs 7 squeeze, crush and steam the steamed raw materials; after the steaming is completed, as Figure 12As shown, the controller 4 provides a "brake" function for the drive motor 3, that is, controls the drive motor 3 to reduce the speed to 0 within 0.5-1.5s. At this time, the sleeve 6 and the blade disc 7 will still rise along the spiral groove 51 due to inertia until the limit member 8 enters and is stuck in the top blade groove 52 again. At this time, the cooking component is in the first position again, and the user opens the upper cover 10 to take out the blade disc 7 and the cooked raw materials.

[0039] In summary, the digester of the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0040] 1. The knife disc has two functions at the same time: one is to serve as a steamer to support and steam the raw materials, and the other is to serve as a cooking tool to steam and crush the steamed food raw materials;

[0041] 2. The whole steaming and cooking component moves up and down along the spiral shaft through the limiter, so that the raw materials are steamed in the first position and cooked in the second position. After the cooking is complete, the driving motor automatically returns to the first position by the "point brake" function, so that the user can take out the raw materials and the steaming and cooking component for cleaning. The overall structure is exquisitely designed and easy to operate;

[0042] 3. The spiral angle of the spiral shaft is set reasonably, which makes it easy for the knife disc to quickly rise to the top knife groove again after steaming is completed, making it easier for users to take it out and improving user experience.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this article, terms such as "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.
