Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a steamer and an integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] Steamers generally have two ways of generating steam. One is to set a heating plate at the bottom of the steamer to directly heat the water in the heating plate, which is called the boiling water method; the other is that the steamer is equipped with a steam generator, which heats the water into steam and introduces it into the interior of the steamer. This method is called the direct injection method.

[0003] In direct-injection steamers, steam is generated by the steam generator and then introduced into the steam inlet of the steamer through a pipe, then enters the interior of the steamer, and then reaches the surface of the food to heat it. The steam is prone to heat loss during transmission, resulting in a drop in temperature when it reaches the surface of the food, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency and prolongs the steaming time. Long-term steaming is not conducive to the retention of nutrients. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent. To this end, the present application proposes a steamer.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses a steamer, which comprises:

[0006] a first accommodating cavity;

[0007] an air inlet, communicating with the first accommodating chamber;

[0008] The second accommodating cavity is suitable for accommodating food;

[0009] a first vent hole, communicating the first accommodating cavity with the second accommodating cavity;

[0010] a steam generator, in communication with the air inlet, adapted to provide steam; and

[0011] The heater is arranged in the first accommodating chamber and is suitable for heating steam.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, at least a portion of the heater is disposed in an axial direction of the air inlet.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the heater is a heating tube, and multiple bends are formed between two ends of the heating tube.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the steamer further includes a first connecting member, which connects two ends of the heating tube so that the heating tube encloses a cavity.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, both ends of the heating tube pass through the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity, and the first connecting member is connected to the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the steamer further includes a second connecting member, which is respectively connected to the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity and an end of the heating tube away from the first connecting member.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the steamer further includes a flow equalizing plate, which separates the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, and the first air hole is provided on the flow equalizing plate, and the first air hole includes a plurality of holes.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate is located above the food.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the steamer includes a cavity, and the flow equalizing plate is arranged inside the cavity to divide the interior of the cavity into the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity.

[0020] The present application also discloses an integrated stove, which includes the steam box of the above embodiment.

[0021] The technical solution of the present application is to set up a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber, and set the heater in the first accommodating chamber. The steam enters the first accommodating chamber through the air inlet and is heated by the heater, thereby avoiding condensation of the steam and allowing the steam to form superheated steam, ensuring that the steam still has a high temperature after flowing out of the first air hole, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food, shortening the steaming time, and facilitating the retention of nutrients.

[0046] The first aspect of the present application provides a steamer, Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the steamer includes a first accommodating chamber 3300, an air inlet 3151, a second accommodating chamber 3400, a first air vent 3211, a steam generator (not shown in the figure) and a heater 4000. The steam generator is communicated with the air inlet 3151, and the first accommodating chamber 3300 is communicated with the air inlet 3151, so that the first accommodating chamber 3300 can receive steam from the steam generator through the air inlet 3151. The heater 4000 is arranged in the first accommodating chamber 3300, so that the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 can be heated. The second accommodating chamber 3400 is used to accommodate food, that is, when food needs to be steamed, the food needs to be placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400. The first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 are communicated with each other through the first air vent 3211, so that the steam heated in the first accommodating chamber 3300 flows into the second accommodating chamber 3400 to steam the food. By setting up the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, and setting the heater 4000 in the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam generated by the steam generator is passed into the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the air inlet 3151 and is heated by the heater 4000, thereby avoiding condensation of the steam and allowing the steam to form superheated steam, ensuring that the steam still has a high temperature after flowing out of the first air hole 3211, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food, shortening the steaming time, and facilitating the retention of nutrients.

[0047] Specifically, a steamer is a device that heats water so that the water forms steam, and steams the food. In the related art, there are two main ways to heat water into steam, namely, direct heating by a heating plate and generation by a steam generator, as described in the background art. In the related art, the steam generated by the steam generator needs to be connected to the inside of the steamer through a pipeline. From the steam generator to the inside of the steamer, the steam needs to be transmitted for a certain distance. During the transmission process, the steam will lose heat, that is, the temperature of the steam entering the inside of the steamer is lower than the temperature of the steam generated by the steam generator. The temperature reduction will prolong the steaming time. To this end, in this embodiment, the steam is transported to the food for steaming through the cooperation of the first accommodating chamber 3300, the second accommodating chamber 3400, the heater 4000 and the steam generator, and is heated before being transported to the food to increase the temperature of the steam, so that the steam still has a high temperature when it contacts the food, thereby maintaining a high heating efficiency and shortening the steaming time.

[0048] The first accommodating chamber 3300 is a space for accommodating steam, and the second accommodating chamber 3400 is a space for accommodating food. The food to be steamed needs to be placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400. When steaming is completed, the food is taken out from the second accommodating chamber 3400. The first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 both have a certain spatial volume, so that they can respectively accommodate a certain amount of steam and food. By setting the first air vent 3211, the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400 are connected.

[0049] The first accommodating chamber 3300 is connected to the air inlet 3151, and the first accommodating chamber 3300 needs to receive steam through the air inlet 3151, that is, the steam generated by the steam generator is transmitted through a pipeline, and the pipeline is connected to the air inlet 3151. The steam flows out of the pipeline through the air inlet 3151 and flows into the first accommodating chamber 3300. In other words, the steam generated by the steam generator needs to flow into the first accommodating chamber 3300 first, and then flow into the second accommodating chamber 3400 through the first air vent 3211. Since the first accommodating chamber 3300 occupies a certain spatial volume, when the steam is input from the air inlet 3151 and enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, it will gradually diffuse. Since the heater 4000 is arranged in the first accommodating chamber 3300, the heater 4000 can heat the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 when it is working. Since the flow rate of the steam is reduced when the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam has enough time to contact the heater 4000, so that the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 is effectively heated to avoid condensation of the steam. Moreover, under the heating effect of the heater 4000, the steam can form superheated steam. When the superheated steam flows out through the first air vent 3211 and enters the second accommodating chamber 3400 and then contacts the food, it still has a high temperature, thereby enhancing the steaming of the food and shortening the steaming time. It can be understood that the so-called heater 4000 is a component that can emit heat when powered on.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the heater 4000 is located in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151 , and such a configuration further improves the heating effect on the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 .

[0051] Specifically, at least part of the so-called heater 4000 is located in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, that is, along the axial direction of the air inlet 3151, the heater 4000 is projected toward the position where the air inlet 3151 is located, and at least part of the projection formed by the heater 4000 overlaps with the air inlet 3151. Since the flow area of ​​the air inlet 3151 is much smaller than that of the first accommodating chamber 3300, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 from the air inlet 3151 is in the form of a jet. At least part of the heater 4000 is arranged in the axial direction of the air inlet 3151. When the steam generated by the steam generator is ejected from the air inlet 3151, it will directly encounter the heater 4000, thereby being heated by the heater 4000. That is, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 can be heated by the heater 4000 in a relatively short time, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the steam and laying a foundation for uniform heating of the steam. After the steam diffuses in the first accommodating chamber 3300 , it can continue to be heated by the rest of the heater 4000 , thereby effectively forming superheated steam.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, the heater 4000 is a heating tube 4000, and multiple bends are formed between the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000, so that the heating tube 4000 forms a larger coverage in the first accommodating cavity 3300, which can reduce the number of heating tubes 4000, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, the cross section of the heating tube 4000 is roughly circular, and the heating tube 4000 is bent so that it can occupy a larger space range in the first accommodating cavity 3300, so that the steam entering the first accommodating cavity 3300 can be heated at multiple positions in the first accommodating cavity 3300. It can be understood that the multiple paths referred to here means at least two paths. Since the heating tube 4000 is bent to achieve a larger coverage range, the number of heating tubes 4000 can be reduced, thereby reducing costs. Moreover, since the heating tube 4000 needs to be installed and fixed, reducing the number of heating tubes 4000 also improves the installation efficiency of the product.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, the steam box includes a first connecting member 5100 , and the first connecting member 5100 is connected and fixed to the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 , so that the heating tube 4000 surrounds a cavity 4200 .

[0055] Specifically, since the heating tube 4000 needs to generate heat when powered on, in this embodiment, the first connector 5100 is provided, and the first connector 5100 connects and fixes the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000, so that the heating tube 4000 surrounds a cavity 4200, so that the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 can be close to each other. It can be understood that, generally speaking, the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 need to constitute electrical connection ends. Through the provision of the first connector 5100, the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 are close to each other, that is, when the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 are electrically connected to the wires, the wires connected to the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 are close to each other, which is more convenient for the arrangement of the wires. If the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 are not close to each other, then the wires corresponding to the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 need to be arranged separately, and the corresponding internal structure of the steamer should also be designed in two sets, which increases the complexity of the structure. In addition, since the heating tube 4000 needs to be bent in multiple passes, the first connecting member 5100 is provided so that the heating tube 4000 encloses a cavity 4200 , thereby presenting a frame-like structure, thereby improving the structural strength of the heating tube 4000 .

[0056] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, in combination Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, based on the premise of setting the first connecting member 5100, the first connecting member 5100 and the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 are connected together, which can not only enhance the structural strength of the heating tube 4000, but also realize the installation of the heating tube 4000.

[0057] Specifically, there are many ways to connect the first connector 5100 and the heating tube 4000. For example, the first connector 5100 is provided with a mounting hole, and the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000 pass through the mounting holes respectively, and the first connector 5100 is provided with a fastening hole, and the corresponding cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 is also provided with a fastening hole. Screws, bolts, etc. are passed through the fastening holes of the first connector 5100 and the fastening holes of the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300, so as to achieve the fastening of the first connector 5100 and the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300, thereby achieving the fixation of the heating tube 4000. Of course, the connection between the first connector 5100 and the heating tube 4000, and the connection between the first connector 5100 and the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 are not limited to the above-mentioned methods.

[0058] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, in combination Fig. 9 and Fig.11As shown, the steamer includes a second connecting member 5200, which connects the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 and the heating tube 4000, and the second connecting member 5200 is connected to the end of the heating tube 4000 away from the first connecting member 5100 to prevent the heating tube 4000 from shaking after passing through the first connecting member 5100.

[0059] Specifically, it can be seen from the above that the first connecting member 5100 needs to connect the two ends 4100 of the heating tube 4000, and after the first connecting member 5100 and the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 are connected, the entire heating tube 4000 is in a cantilever shape extending into the first accommodating cavity 3300. Therefore, by setting the second connecting member 5200 to connect the end of the heating tube 4000 away from the first connecting member 5100, the installation of the entire heating tube 4000 is made more stable. The second connecting member 5200 can adopt a variety of structures, which are no longer limited here.

[0060] It can be understood that the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 mentioned above is a structure used to enclose the first accommodating cavity 3300. For example, the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 3300 is at least a part of the top plate 3110, the rear plate 3150, the left plate 3130 and / or the right plate 3140 mentioned below, the first connecting member 5100 is connected to the rear plate 3150, the second connecting member 5200 is connected to the top plate 3110, and the air inlet 3151 is arranged on the cavity wall (rear plate 3150) of the first accommodating cavity 3300.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, the steam box includes a flow balancing plate 3200, the flow balancing plate 3200 separates the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, and the first air holes 3211 are arranged on the flow balancing plate 3200, and the first air holes 3211 include a plurality.

[0062] The flow area of ​​the air inlet 3151 is much smaller than that of the first accommodating chamber 3300, so the steam input from the air inlet 3151 will be sprayed into the first accommodating chamber 3300 in the form of a jet, which will cause differences in the distribution of steam (the amount of steam, flow rate, temperature, etc.) at different positions of the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the food is easily heated unevenly, affecting the steaming effect of the food. For example, some parts of the food are too early to ripen, and in order to ensure that other parts of the food are cooked thoroughly, it is necessary to extend the steaming time, and the parts that are too early to ripen will become aged, resulting in a poor taste. In this embodiment, when the steam enters the first accommodating chamber 3300, it will not be immediately ejected to the second accommodating chamber 3400, but will diffuse in the first accommodating chamber 3300 under the obstruction of the cavity wall of the first accommodating chamber 3300. Since the steam is in the form of a jet when entering the first accommodating chamber 3300, the flow rate of the steam is reduced by setting the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the first accommodating chamber 3300 is equivalent to a buffer for the steam. Since the flow equalizing plate 3200 separates the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be regarded as at least a part of the cavity wall of the first accommodating chamber 3300. As the steam generator continues to generate steam and passes it into the first accommodating chamber 3300, the air pressure in the first accommodating chamber 3300 increases, and then the steam in the first accommodating chamber 3300 flows out through the first air holes 3211 and then enters the second accommodating chamber 3400. Since there are multiple first air holes 3211, steam can flow out from multiple first air holes 3211 to the second accommodating chamber 3400, and multiple first air holes 3211 can form a larger coverage of the second accommodating chamber 3400, so that the distribution of steam at different positions of the second accommodating chamber 3400 can be more uniform, and the difference in steam flow rate, temperature, and quantity at different positions of the second accommodating chamber 3400 is minimized to ensure the steaming effect of the food. For example, a plurality of first air holes 3211 are arranged in an array and are located at the same height. It is to be understood that the same height here means being approximately at the same level.

[0063] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, in combination Figures 2 to 6As shown, the flow equalizer plate 3200 is arranged above the food, so that the first air hole 3211 is also located above the food, further ensuring the steaming effect of the food. For example, the first accommodating chamber 3300 is arranged above the second accommodating chamber 3400, or the first accommodating chamber 3300 is arranged at an upper position of the second accommodating chamber 3400. The orientation in this article is based on the normal placement of the steamer. Since the flow equalizer plate 3200 separates the first accommodating chamber 3300 and the second accommodating chamber 3400, after the food is placed in the second accommodating chamber 3400, the flow equalizer plate 3200 is located above the food. Due to the characteristics of steam, the steam will float upward. When the steam flows out from the first accommodating chamber 3300 through the first air hole 3211, the steam gradually fills the second accommodating chamber 3400 from top to bottom. In the process of steam filling from top to bottom and before reaching the food, the steam has enough space and time to achieve further mixing and enhance the effect of uniform distribution. When the steam reaches the surface of the food, the food is heated evenly to the maximum extent.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to combine Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the steamer includes a cavity 3100, and a flow equalizing plate 3200 is arranged inside the cavity 3100, thereby dividing the interior of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating cavity 3300 and a second accommodating cavity 3400, which facilitates the formation of the first accommodating cavity 3300 and the second accommodating cavity 3400. There are multiple ways for the flow equalizing plate 3200 to divide the interior of the cavity 3100 into the first accommodating cavity 3300 and the second accommodating cavity 3400, which will be described in detail below.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the cavity 3100 includes a top plate 3110 and a side plate. The flow equalizing plate 3200 is disposed inside the cavity 3100 and is connected and fixed to the top plate 3110 , thereby dividing the interior of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating chamber 3300 and a second accommodating chamber 3400 .

[0066] Specifically, the steamer includes a shell 1000, the shell 1000 wraps the cavity 3100, and the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100 are arranged alternately, so that there is a certain space between the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100, so that other components of the steamer, such as a steam generator, etc., can be placed between the shell 1000 and the cavity 3100. Of course, in other embodiments, the shell 1000 may not be provided, or the shell 1000 does not necessarily wrap the cavity 3100, but is arranged side by side with the cavity 3100. The cavity 3100 is a hollow structure, including a top plate 3110, a bottom plate 3120, a side plate and a rear plate 3150. It can be understood that, generally speaking, the steamer is formed as a cube as a whole, so the cavity 3100 is also formed as a cube, then there is a left side plate 3130 and a right side plate 3140 between the top plate 3110 and the bottom plate 3120, the left side plate 3130 and the right side plate 3140 are collectively referred to as side plates, the left side plate 3130, the right side plate 3140 and the rear plate 3150 are arranged between the top plate 3110 and the bottom plate 3120, so that the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 is open to the front, that is, the open end of the cavity 3100 constitutes an opening 3500, and the steamer has a door body 2000, and the door body 2000 can realize the closing and opening of the opening 3500, and the food is taken and placed through the opening 3500.

[0067] The flow balancing plate 3200 can independently enclose a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 constitutes a second accommodating cavity 3400. After the flow balancing plate 3200 is installed inside the cavity 3100, the first accommodating cavity 3300 is located above the second accommodating cavity 3400. However, independently enclosing the first accommodating cavity 3300 with the flow balancing plate 3200 will make the structure more complicated and the cost higher. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be connected to the top plate 3110, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110 together enclose a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the rest of the space enclosed by the cavity 3100 can be regarded as a second accommodating cavity 3400. That is to say, after the flow equalizing plate 3200 is installed, the flow equalizing plate 3200 divides the internal space of the cavity 3100 into a first accommodating cavity 3300 and a second accommodating cavity 3400. The flow equalizing plate 3200 makes full use of the structure of the cavity 3100 and reduces the complexity of the structure.

[0068] Since the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110 are connected together, in order to input the steam generated by the steam generator into the first accommodating chamber 3300, an air inlet 3151 can be opened on the top plate 3110, the side plate or the rear plate 3150. The air inlet 3151 can be directly connected to the first accommodating chamber 3300, and the steam generator is connected to the air inlet 3151 through a pipeline, so that the steam can be directly transmitted to the first accommodating chamber 3300.

[0069] In other embodiments, in combination Figure 6 As shown, different from the previous embodiment, the flow equalizing plate 3200 of this embodiment is arranged inside the cavity 3100, and the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be connected to the side plate, so as to divide the internal space of the cavity 3100, so that the space of the first accommodating cavity 3300 is larger, which is more conducive to the uniform distribution of steam in the second accommodating cavity 3400.

[0070] Specifically, relative to connecting the current balancing plate 3200 to the top plate 3110, in this embodiment, the current balancing plate 3200 is connected to the side plates, for example, the current balancing plate 3200 is connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140. It can be understood that the connection between the current balancing plate 3200 and the side plates can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, as long as the current balancing plate 3200 can be fixed to the side plates. In this way, the equalizing plate 3200 and part of the left plate 3130, part of the right plate 3140, part of the rear plate 3150 and the top plate 3110 cooperate together to enclose a first accommodating chamber 3300. Compared with the first accommodating chamber 3300 enclosed by the connection between the equalizing plate 3200 and the top plate 3110, the former has a larger space, and the corresponding size of the equalizing plate 3200 is also larger. As mentioned above, generally speaking, the cavity 3100 is relatively square. By installing the equalizing plate 3200 in this way, the equalizing plate 3200 can form a larger coverage of the second accommodating chamber 3400 from top to bottom. Since the size of the equalizing plate 3200 is larger, the number of first air holes 3211 set on the equalizing plate 3200 can also be more, so that the multiple first air holes 3211 can form a larger coverage of the food from top to bottom, and then the distribution of the steam flowing out of the first air holes 3211 is more uniform.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Fig.10 As shown, on the basis of the connection between the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the side plate, the flow equalizing plate 3200 has a first plate 3210 and a second plate 3220, the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 are arranged to intersect each other, and the second plate 3220 is located in the front position of the first plate 3210. When the flow equalizing plate 3200 is installed inside the cavity 3100, the first plate 3210 is located below the top plate 3110 and the first plate 3210 and the top plate 3110 are arranged opposite to each other, thus enclosing a first accommodating cavity 3300, and the first air vent 3211 is arranged on the first plate 3210.

[0072] Specifically, the connection between the flow equalizing plate 3200 and the side plate can be as follows: the left and right sides of the flow equalizing plate 3200 are respectively connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140, and the rear edge of the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be abutted against the rear plate 3150. The front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300 formed in this way is open. When the door body 2000 closes the opening 3500 of the cavity 3100, the steam entering the first accommodating chamber 3300 will overflow from the front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300, and therefore the front end of the first accommodating chamber 3300 needs to be closed. This can be achieved through the door body 2000. When the door body 2000 closes the opening 3500 of the cavity 3100, the door body 2000 needs to synchronously realize the closure of the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300. However, since the door body 2000 cooperates with the cavity 3100, the door body 2000 closes the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300, and needs to be synchronously coordinated with the flow equalizing plate 3200, which requires high assembly accuracy. To this end, in this embodiment, by designing the flow equalizing plate 3200 to include a first plate 3210 and a second plate 3220, the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 are arranged to intersect, and the intersection of the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220 can be perpendicular to each other. For example, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is prepared by a metal plate, and the metal plate has a certain ductility. A piece of metal plate can be bent to form the first plate 3210 and the second plate 3220. When the current balancing plate 3200 is installed, the left and right sides of the first plate 3210 are connected to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140 respectively, and the rear edge of the first plate 3210 abuts against the rear plate 3150. At this time, under the premise that the current balancing plate 3200 is installed in place, the second plate 3220 abuts against the left plate 3130, the right plate 3140 and the top plate 3110 near the opening 3500, thus closing the front end of the first accommodating cavity 3300. Since the second plate 3220 only needs to cooperate with the cavity 3100, and does not need to cooperate with the door body 2000, the assembly accuracy requirement is reduced.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizer 3200 is designed to be removable and removable into the cavity 3100, so that it is convenient to clean the flow equalizer 3200. Since the steam needs to flow out through the first air hole 3211 after entering the first accommodating cavity 3300, after long-term use, the flow equalizer 3200 will have water stains, scale, etc., and since the flow equalizer 3200 is in an environment where food is steamed, it is also possible to be blocked by food residues. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the steamer is used for a period of time, the flow equalizer 3200 can be cleaned to keep the flow equalizer 3200 clean and ensure that the steam can flow out of the first air hole 3211 smoothly. When it is necessary to clean the flow equalizer 3200, the flow equalizer 3200 is moved out of the cavity 3100, and the flow equalizer 3200 is exposed, so that the user can conveniently perform cleaning operations. After cleaning, the flow equalizer 3200 is moved into the cavity 3100, so as to facilitate the use of the steamer next time.

[0074] There are many ways to move the flow equalizing plate 3200 out of and into the cavity 3100. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the flow equalizing plate 3200 is set to be detachable. Removable means that when the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be cleaned, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be detached from the cavity 3100, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved out of the cavity 3100. When the food needs to be steamed in a steamer, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be installed in the cavity 3100 and fixed, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved into the cavity 3100. Through the detachable setting, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be completely separated from the cavity 3100, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0075] Combined diagram Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, a supporting portion 3600 is provided on the side plate, and the equalizing plate 3200 is overlapped on the supporting portion 3600, so that the equalizing plate 3200 can be installed and easily disassembled. The left side plate 3130 and the right side plate 3140 are provided with a supporting portion 3600, and the equalizing plate 3200 (first plate 3210) is overlapped on the supporting portion 3600. The so-called overlap means that the equalizing plate 3200 (first plate 3210) abuts against the supporting portion 3600 in the direction of gravity, so that the entire equalizing plate 3200 can be supported by the supporting portion 3600, so that the equalizing plate 3200 can be detachably installed. In this way, not only can the flow equalizing plate 3200 be easily installed in the cavity 3100, but when the flow equalizing plate 3200 needs to be removed, the user only needs to lift the flow equalizing plate 3200 or pull the flow equalizing plate 3200 to separate the flow equalizing plate 3200 from the supporting part 3600, which is convenient, fast and low-cost.

[0076] The flow equalizing plate 3200 can also be moved out of and into the cavity 3100 by the following scheme: the steam box includes a slide rail (not shown in the figure), and the slide rail is connected to the cavity 3100 and the flow equalizing plate 3200 respectively. By setting the slide rail, the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be moved out of and into the cavity 3100. Specifically, for example, the cavity 3100 has an opening 3500, and the opening 3500 is connected to the interior of the cavity 3100. The left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140 are both provided with a slide rail, and the slide rail has a movable part and a fixed part, the fixed part is fixed to the left plate 3130 and the right plate 3140, and the movable part is fixed to the flow equalizing plate 3200, and the movable part and the fixed part are slidably connected, so that the flow equalizing plate 3200 can be pushed and pulled by the slide rail. When the current equalizing plate 3200 is pulled, the current equalizing plate 3200 moves out of the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500. When the current equalizing plate 3200 is pushed, the current equalizing plate 3200 moves into the cavity 3100 through the opening 3500, thereby separating the first accommodating cavity 3300 and the second accommodating cavity 3400. Through such a setting, the current equalizing plate 3200 can be exposed to facilitate user cleaning, and the inaccurate alignment of the current equalizing plate 3200 during disassembly and assembly can be avoided.
