Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular relates to an electric steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Among modern kitchen appliances, electric steamers are popular with consumers due to their unique steaming method, which preserves the original flavor of ingredients. However, with continuous technological advancements and rising user demands, the problems of excessive steam emissions and poor user experience exposed in traditional electric steamers during actual use have become increasingly apparent, becoming a significant factor restricting their further development.

[0003] The main reason for the high steam output of traditional electric steamers is that steam, as a heating medium, requires a continuous supply during cooking. Unlike general liquid heating, steam, once its temperature drops, is difficult to quickly rise again. Therefore, to ensure that food is heated evenly and cooked quickly, electric steamers need a continuous supply of steam throughout the cooking process. While this continuous steam supply design improves cooking efficiency, it also leads to a significant increase in steam output. Excessive steam output not only causes a sharp increase in humidity in the kitchen environment but may also trigger smoke alarms, disrupting the quiet atmosphere of cooking. Furthermore, a prolonged high-humidity environment can cause condensation on kitchen doors and windows, and even lead to dampness and mold growth on walls and ceilings, posing a threat to the cleanliness and health of the home environment.

[0004] High steam emissions also directly impact the user's cooking experience. Excessive humidity in the kitchen can make cooks feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Furthermore, high humidity can interfere with the normal operation of other kitchen appliances, potentially causing short circuits or damaging components, thus creating safety hazards.

[0005] To address these issues, the industry has begun exploring more intelligent and efficient steam control technologies. For example, by optimizing the design of steam generators and employing more advanced heating elements and temperature control systems, steam emissions can be reduced while maintaining cooking efficiency. Furthermore, steam recovery devices can be introduced to recover and reuse emitted steam, further improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0006] However, existing steam recovery devices cannot effectively reduce steam emissions. To solve this problem, the industry needs to continuously explore new technological solutions in order to effectively reduce steam emissions while maintaining cooking efficiency, creating a more comfortable and healthy cooking environment, thereby comprehensively improving the user's cooking experience. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application provides an electric steamer to solve the technical problem of large steam emissions during cooking in existing electric steamers.

[0008] One embodiment of this application employs the following technical solution:

[0009] An electric steamer includes a base with a steam generating device; a steaming basket placed on the base and having a steaming chamber and a steam outlet; a jet valve body on the steam outlet, the jet valve body including an exhaust channel having a front channel communicating with the steaming chamber and a rear channel communicating with the front channel, and a contraction channel with a narrowed cross section between the front channel and the rear channel; the jet valve body having an inlet channel, the inlet end of the inlet channel communicating with the atmosphere, and the outlet end of the inlet channel communicating with the exhaust channel, and the position of the outlet end of the inlet channel in the exhaust channel corresponding to the position of the contraction channel in the exhaust channel.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the jet valve body further includes a mixing chamber, which has an exhaust port communicating with the outside. The exhaust channel is located inside the mixing chamber, and the exhaust end of the rear channel is located inside the mixing chamber.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the mixing chamber has a drain hole and a drain valve for opening or closing the drain hole, wherein the drain hole connects the mixing chamber and the steaming chamber when it is open.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this example, it includes an inlet pipe forming the inlet channel, which passes through the mixing chamber and communicates with the exhaust channel.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this example, a flow guiding channel is included, with one end of the flow guiding channel located below the jet valve body and the other end located near the side wall of the steamer, so as to guide the liquid flowing out of the jet valve body to one side of the side wall of the steamer.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this example, the steamer has multiple layers to form multiple steaming chambers, the steam outlet has multiple outlets that are respectively connected to each of the steaming chambers, and the jet valve body has multiple outlets.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the steamer has a drip tray in which the liquid flowing out of the jet valve body is collected.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the steamer has a steaming lid, and the steam outlet is located on the steaming lid.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the steamer or base has a locking device to lock the layers of steamers together.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the locking device is one of a magnet, a buckle, or a pressure plate.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0020] In this application, after the jet valve body is installed, when the steam in the steam chamber is discharged from the outlet, the cross-sectional area of ​​the contraction channel gradually decreases, resulting in increased flow velocity and decreased pressure, thus forming a negative pressure area. This creates an adsorption effect, guiding external fluid into the pipe. The inlet end of the inlet channel is connected to the atmosphere, and the outlet end is connected to the exhaust channel. The position of the outlet end of the inlet channel in the exhaust channel corresponds to the position of the contraction channel in the exhaust channel. Therefore, under the action of negative pressure, the inlet channel can introduce external atmosphere into the exhaust channel, allowing external cold air to mix with high-temperature steam. Due to the introduction of cold air, the temperature and pressure of the steam will decrease. Since the steam discharge rate is closely related to its temperature and pressure, the decrease in temperature leads to a decrease in the density and volume of the steam, thereby reducing the actual discharge rate. Thus, electric steamers using jet valves can reduce steam emissions during cooking without reducing the heat of the steam generator, ensuring heating efficiency. They can also prevent excessive humidity in the kitchen environment, maintain a quiet cooking atmosphere, and reduce the occurrence of dampness and mold on kitchen doors, windows, furniture, and appliances.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments, because a mixing chamber is provided, the high-speed steam flow ejected from the exhaust channel will first pass through the mixing chamber, thereby enabling the external cold air and high-temperature steam to mix fully, which in turn further reduces the temperature of the steam and forms condensate, thereby reducing the amount of steam emitted.

[0022] In some preferred embodiments, when the pressure inside the steaming chamber rises to a certain threshold, the drain valve can be pushed upward to close the drain hole, preventing steam backflow from the mixing chamber. When the pressure inside the steaming chamber drops to a certain threshold, the drain valve descends under its own weight and the weight of the liquid inside the mixing chamber to open the drain hole, allowing the liquid accumulated in the mixing chamber to fall back into the steaming chamber through the drain hole.

[0023] In some preferred embodiments, the inlet pipe passes through the mixing chamber and then connects to the exhaust channel, which means that the gas in the inlet pipe will not pass through the mixing chamber, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the introduced external air is lower, thus improving the cooling effect and condensing more high-temperature steam into liquid, thereby reducing steam emissions.

[0024] In some preferred embodiments, when the steam condensate in the mixing chamber flows out of the drain hole, it can be guided to one side of the steamer through the guide channel. This avoids a large amount of condensate dripping onto the food and ensures the taste of the food.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments, some electric steamer products have proposed products that supply gas to each steaming chamber independently in order to avoid cross-contamination of flavors between different steaming chambers. Accordingly, each steaming chamber is provided with its own air outlet. For this type of product, a jet valve body can be installed on the air outlet of each steaming chamber to reduce steam emissions from each air outlet.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments, the locking device can lock the steamer during cooking to prevent it from being lifted up under high pressure. After cooking is finished, the locking device can be released to facilitate opening the steamer. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this application, a detailed explanation is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this application that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0040] This application proposes an electric steamer, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the electric steamer includes a base 1, which is equipped with a steam generator 5; a steaming basket 2, which has a steaming chamber 3 and a steam outlet. The steam generator 5 generates high-temperature steam and sends it into the steaming chamber 3 to steam the food in the steaming chamber 3; a jet valve body 10 is provided on the steam outlet, which includes a steam exhaust channel 14. The steam exhaust channel 14 has a front channel 141 that connects to the steaming chamber 3 and a rear channel 143 that connects to the front channel 141. A contraction channel 142 with a narrow cross section is provided between the front channel 141 and the rear channel 143; the jet valve body 10 includes an inlet channel 16, the inlet end of which is connected to the atmosphere, and the outlet end of which is connected to the steam exhaust channel 14. The position of the outlet end of the inlet channel in the steam exhaust channel 14 corresponds to the position of the contraction channel 142 in the steam exhaust channel 14.

[0041] After the jet valve body is installed, when the steam in the steam chamber 3 is discharged from the outlet, the cross-sectional area of ​​the contraction channel gradually decreases, resulting in increased flow velocity and decreased pressure, thus forming a negative pressure area. This creates an adsorption effect, guiding external fluid into the pipe. The inlet end of the inlet channel is connected to the atmosphere, and the outlet end is connected to the exhaust channel. The position of the outlet end of the inlet channel in the exhaust channel 14 corresponds to the position of the contraction channel 142 in the exhaust channel 14. Therefore, under the action of negative pressure, the inlet channel can introduce external atmosphere into the exhaust channel, allowing external cold air to mix with high-temperature steam. Due to the introduction of cold air, the temperature and pressure of the steam will decrease. Since the steam discharge rate is closely related to its temperature and pressure, the decrease in temperature leads to a decrease in the density and volume of the steam, thereby reducing the actual discharge rate. Thus, electric steamers using jet valves can reduce steam emissions during cooking without reducing the heat of the steam generator, ensuring heating efficiency. They can also prevent excessive humidity in the kitchen environment, maintain a quiet cooking atmosphere, and reduce the occurrence of dampness and mold on kitchen doors, windows, furniture, and appliances.

[0042] The jet valve body of this application can have various specific embodiments, which will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the jet valve body 10 also includes a mixing chamber 12, which has a steam vent 13 communicating with the outside. A steam venting channel 14 is located within the mixing chamber 12, with the exhaust end of the rear channel situated within the mixing chamber 12. During cooking, steam passes through the steam venting channel, the mixing chamber 12, and the steam vent 13 sequentially, thereby venting the steam to the outside. It should be understood that in another embodiment of this application, a mixing chamber may not be provided, in which case the steam venting channel directly vents steam to the outside.

[0044] Because of the mixing chamber, the high-speed steam flow ejected from the exhaust channel will first pass through the mixing chamber, which allows the external cold air and high-temperature steam to mix fully, thereby further reducing the temperature of the steam and forming condensate, thus reducing the amount of steam emitted.

[0045] like Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the jet valve body 10 includes a valve cover 11 and a valve seat. The valve cover 11 has a steam vent 13, and a mixing chamber 12 is formed between the valve seat and the valve cover 11. A steam vent pipe is provided in the mixing chamber 12, and a steam vent passage 14 is provided in the steam vent pipe. One end of the steam vent passage 14 is connected to the steam chamber 3, and the other end is connected to the mixing chamber 12. An inlet pipe 16 is also provided, and an inlet passage is provided in the inlet pipe. One end of the inlet pipe 16 is located in the external atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the steam vent passage 14. During operation, steam can enter from the steam vent pipe, pass through the mixing chamber 12, and be discharged from the steam vent 13.

[0046] As attached Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the jet valve body 10 includes an inlet pipe 16 forming an inlet channel. The inlet pipe 16 passes through the mixing chamber 12 and connects to the exhaust channel. One end of the inlet pipe 16 is connected to the inlet port 144 of the exhaust channel, and the other end is located in the external atmosphere. The position of the inlet port 144 in the exhaust channel 14 corresponds to the position of the contraction channel 142 in the exhaust channel 14. The fact that the inlet pipe 16 passes through the mixing chamber 12 and then connects to the exhaust channel means that the gas in the inlet pipe will not pass through the mixing chamber, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the introduced external air is lower, thus improving the cooling effect and condensing more high-temperature steam into liquid, thereby reducing steam emissions. During operation, the jet flow at the contraction channel will generate negative pressure, thereby drawing in the external atmosphere through the inlet pipe into the exhaust channel, mixing it, and then entering the mixing chamber from the rear channel.

[0047] In this embodiment, a contraction section 145 forming a contraction channel 142 is included. The steam outlet of the contraction section 145 extends into a rear channel 143, and the inlet 144 communicates with the rear channel 143. The rear channel 143 has an upstream side 146 and a downstream side 147 bounded by the location of the steam outlet of the contraction section 145. In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inlet 144 is located on the upstream side 146 of the rear passage 143. By extending the steam outlet of the contraction section into the rear passage, the rear passage is divided into an upstream side and a downstream side. The upstream side is connected to the inlet, and the introduced air enters the upstream side and then enters the downstream side. Because the inlet is located on the upstream side of the rear passage, this helps the external air to be more evenly dispersed into the fluid when entering the rear passage. The thorough mixing of the external air and the fluid promotes the condensation efficiency of the steam.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the system includes a front exhaust pipe forming a front channel 141. The front exhaust pipe has a first exhaust section 1411 and a second exhaust section 1412, with different airflow directions in the first exhaust section 1411 and the second exhaust section 1412. Specifically, the first exhaust section 1411 and the second exhaust section 1412 are set at a 90-degree angle, thereby changing the direction of the jet stream ejected from the constriction channel and the rear channel connected to the front channel, thus altering the mixing effect in the mixing chamber. The exhaust end of the rear channel is horizontally positioned in the mixing chamber, facilitating the sinking of the juice ejected from the rear channel under gravity, while the gas rises.

[0049] It should be understood that the so-called horizontal arrangement of the rear channel's air outlet in the mixing chamber does not mean that the valve body must be installed vertically on the lid of the cooking appliance to ensure that the rear channel's air outlet is horizontally arranged. Alternatively, the valve body can be installed at an angle so that the rear channel's air outlet is inclined relative to the cooking appliance. Here, horizontal arrangement does not necessarily mean horizontal direction, but rather relative to the valve body's mixing chamber.

[0050] like Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the projection of the outlet end of the rear channel 143 within the mixing chamber 12 is offset from the projection of the exhaust port 13 within the mixing chamber 12. Furthermore, the axis of the outlet end of the rear channel 143 is perpendicular to the axis of the exhaust port 13. This perpendicularity ensures that the fluid, as it flows out of the exhaust channel and towards the exhaust port, experiences at least one bend. This bend forces the fluid to change its flow direction, increasing turbulence within the fluid and thus promoting the cooling rate of the high-temperature steam to form more condensate.

[0051] Some preferred embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mixing chamber 12 has a drain hole 18 and a drain valve 17 for opening or closing the drain hole 18. When the drain hole 18 is open, it connects the mixing chamber 12 and the steaming chamber 3. The connection between the mixing chamber and the steaming chamber can be controlled by opening and closing the drain hole through the drain valve. When the drain valve opens the drain hole, the mixing chamber and the steaming chamber are connected, and the liquid in the mixing chamber can flow back into the steaming chamber, thereby releasing the space in the mixing chamber. When the drain valve closes the drain hole, the mixing chamber and the steaming chamber are isolated, and the steaming chamber can be kept under a certain pressure, thereby forming a high-speed jet flow in the exhaust channel, thus ensuring that enough cold air is drawn in.

[0052] like Figure 2The first type of drain valve shown has a drain hole 18 on the valve seat and a drain valve 17 that is floating on the valve seat to open or close the drain hole 18. When the pressure in the steaming chamber rises to a certain threshold, the drain valve can be pushed upward to close the drain hole, preventing steam backflow in the mixing chamber. When the pressure in the steaming chamber drops to a certain threshold, the drain valve descends under its own weight and the weight of the liquid in the mixing chamber to open the drain hole, allowing the liquid accumulated in the mixing chamber to fall back into the steaming chamber through the drain hole. Furthermore, a portion of the valve seat is sunken to form a collection tank communicating with the mixing chamber, so that the mixing chamber can collect condensate and liquid that falls back after bubble breakage. The drain hole 18 is located on the bottom wall of the collection tank to facilitate liquid backflow.

[0053] As mentioned above, forming a jet stream requires a certain pressure inside the steaming chamber. If the pressure is insufficient, the bubble-breaking effect of the jet valve will be poor. At the same time, since the existing electric steamer's steamer 2 relies solely on its own weight to press against the steamer, if the pressure inside the steaming chamber is too high and exceeds the steamer's own weight, it is easy to lift the steamer, causing the bubbles in the steaming chamber to overflow from the gaps between the steamers.

[0054] To prevent the steamer from being lifted and to ensure sufficient pressure within the steaming chamber, in some preferred embodiments of this application, the steamer 2 or its base is equipped with a locking device (not shown) to lock the layers of steamers 2 together. The locking device cooperates with the steamer to ensure that the steamer is tightly closed. The locking device can lock the steamer during cooking, thus preventing it from being lifted under high pressure. After cooking, the locking device can be released, facilitating the opening of the steamer. The locking device can be one of a magnet, a buckle, or a pressure plate.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments of this application, the jet valve body is detachably installed inside the air outlet; detachable installation facilitates cleaning of the valve body, thereby keeping the jet valve body in a clean and healthy environment.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, it includes a flow guide channel 4, one end of which is located below the jet valve body, and the other end is located near the side wall of the steamer 2, so as to guide the liquid flowing out of the jet valve body to one side of the side wall of the steamer 2. When the steam condensate in the mixing chamber flows out from the drain hole, it can be guided to one side of the side wall of the steamer through the flow guide channel 4. In this way, a large amount of condensate can be prevented from dripping onto the food, thus ensuring the taste of the food.

[0057] The steamer 2 has multiple layers to form multiple steaming chambers 3, and multiple steam outlets, each connected to a separate steaming chamber 3. Multiple jet valve bodies are also provided. In some electric steamer products, to prevent cross-contamination of flavors between chambers, independent steam supply is provided to each chamber, and each chamber is equipped with its own steam outlet. Therefore, for these products, jet valve bodies can be installed on the steam outlets of each steaming chamber to reduce steam emissions at each outlet.

[0058] The steamer 2 has a drip tray 6. The liquid flowing out of the jet valve body is collected in the drip tray 6. The condensate that flows to one side of the side wall of the steamer 2 will flow along the side wall of the steamer 2 to the drip tray 6.

[0059] The steamer 2 has a steam cover 7, and the steam outlet is located on the steam cover 7. The steam cover 7 is compatible with each layer of steamers, so the jet valve body is set on the steam cover for greater versatility.

[0060] The jet valve body 10 and the air outlet are airtightly sealed by a sealing ring 15 to prevent air leakage between the valve body and the air outlet.

[0061] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0062] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0063] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
