Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steamers, in particular to a steamer with an automatic cover opening. Background Art
[0002] Some existing kitchen steamers integrate the function of an oven to become a steam oven. Usually, a cover is set on the surface of the steamer, and a water tank is set inside the steamer. Water is added to the water tank by opening the cover. By hiding the water tank behind the cover, the risk of the water tank slipping and being touched by children is reduced or avoided, thereby improving the safety of the steamer. However, the hiding method is often purely mechanical (such as door suction type, press type mechanism), although the operation is simple, but children can still operate it, and the safety is poor. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a steamer in order to overcome the defect of poor safety of the steamer in the prior art.
[0004] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A steamer, comprising:
[0006] A base body, wherein a receiving cavity is defined in the base body;
[0007] A water tank, disposed in the accommodating cavity;
[0008] A box cover, movably arranged on the base body and corresponding to the position of the water tank, for closing the opening of the accommodating cavity;
[0009] A magnetic body, fixed on the box cover;
[0010] A magnet and a power device, wherein the power device is used to drive the magnet to move along a preset path, wherein the preset path has a first position and a second position, wherein when the magnet is located at the first position, the magnet can adsorb the magnetic body so that the box cover is locked, and when the magnet is located at the second position, the magnet can release the magnetic body so that the box cover is unlocked.
[0011] In this solution, the following methods can be used to open and close the cover:
[0012] When the box cover is locked, the box cover remains in a closed state. When the box cover needs to be opened, the power device drives the magnet to move to the second position, the magnet moves away from the magnetic attraction body and releases the magnetic attraction body, so that the box cover is unlocked and can be opened;
[0013] After the box cover is opened, the power device drives the magnet to move to the first position so that the magnetic body can absorb the magnet to close the box cover, preparing for the box cover to be closed; because the magnetic body is away from the magnet when the box cover is opened, even if the magnet moves to the first position at this time, it still cannot absorb the magnetic body, and the box cover remains open;
[0014] The box cover is pushed manually so that the magnetic body approaches the magnet located at the first position and is attracted by the magnet, so that the box cover is locked and remains closed.
[0015] The power device acts as a power source to drive the magnet to move away from the magnetic body to unlock the box, so that the box cover can be opened, reducing or avoiding the risk of children opening the box cover and contacting the water tank, which is highly safe. The power device can unlock the box cover by overcoming the magnetic force between the magnet and the magnetic body, and the required power is small, and the cover can be closed manually, so that the power required by the power device to open and close the box cover of the steam box is small, reducing energy consumption.

[0021] In the present technical solution, most of the existing power devices output rotary power, such as motors.

Compared with the rotary motion, the position correspondence of the linear motion is simple, the control is simple, and the movement space of the linear motion is small, so that the steam box structure is compact. The box cover is opened by moving the magnet in a straight line away from the magnetic body on the box cover, which is simple and reliable.

In fact, the outer surface of the box cover is flat, and the external elastic hinge and the magnetic body cannot be seen from the outside.
[0108] Example 1
[0109] This embodiment provides a steamer, Figure 1-Figure 5 It is a partial structural schematic diagram of the steam box.
[0110] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the steamer includes:
[0111] A base body 11, wherein a receiving cavity 111 is defined in the base body 11;
[0112] The water tank 12 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 111;
[0113] The box cover 13 is movably arranged on the base 11 and corresponds to the position of the water tank 12, and is used to close the opening of the accommodating cavity 111;
[0114] The magnetic body 21 is fixed on the box cover 13;
[0115] The magnet 22 and the power device 3, the power device 3 is used to drive the magnet 22 to move along a preset path, and the preset path has a first position and a second position. When the magnet 22 is at the first position, it can absorb the magnetic body 21 so that the box cover 13 is locked, thereby closing. When the magnet 22 is at the second position, it can release the magnetic body 21 so that the box cover 13 is unlocked, so that it can be opened.
[0116] Optionally, the present embodiment includes the following design point 1: the magnet 22 is a permanent magnet, and the magnetic attractor is an iron sheet. The permanent magnet is used to attract the iron sheet so that the box cover 13 remains closed without the need for additional power and energy consumption. The iron sheet is low in cost and can be rust-proofed by painting or electroplating. In other embodiments, the magnet 22 may be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet 22. In other embodiments, the magnetic attractor may be an object such as an iron sheet that is not magnetic and can be attracted by a magnet, and may be a permanent magnet. In other embodiments, as long as the magnet and the magnetic attractor can be magnetically attracted to lock the box cover, it will suffice.
[0117] Optionally, this embodiment includes a second design point: the steamer also includes a heat source, and the heat source is used to cook and bake food. The steamer includes a heat source and has the function of an oven. Steaming and baking are combined to form a steam oven. On the one hand, some parts for steaming and baking can be used together, which can save costs; on the other hand, the structure can be made compact. In other embodiments, the steamer can only have the function of steaming, or can have the functions of steaming and baking at the same time. Regarding how the steamer can achieve steaming and baking, specific reference can be made to the prior art.
[0118] In other embodiments, two or either one of the design points one and two may be included simultaneously.
[0119] Optionally, in this embodiment, the steamer also includes a transmission mechanism 4, which is used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The output shaft of the power device 3 performs rotary motion. The power device 3 is specifically a motor. The output shaft of the power device 3, the transmission mechanism 4, and the magnet 22 are connected in sequence. The transmission mechanism 4 is used to convert the rotation of the motor into the movement of the magnet 22, so that the magnet 22 performs linear motion. Compared with rotary motion, the position correspondence of linear motion is simple, the control is simple, and the motion space of linear motion is small, so that the steamer structure is compact. The magnet 22 performs linear motion away from the magnetic body 21 on the box cover 13 to unlock the box cover 13, which is simple and reliable. In this embodiment, the motor can be a stepper motor; in other embodiments, the motor can be a stepper motor, a low-power reduction motor (such as a low-voltage DC motor), etc.
[0120] In other embodiments, the power device 3 can drive the magnet 22 to move directly or indirectly through the transmission mechanism 4. The power device 3 can perform linear motion, such as a hydraulic cylinder or a cylinder; the power device 3 can perform rotational motion, such as a motor. The transmission mechanism 4 can convert the rotational motion into a linear motion to drive the magnet 22 to move, or convert the linear motion into a rotational motion to drive the magnet 22 to rotate. In other embodiments, the power device can drive the magnet to perform rotational motion so that the magnet switches between the first position and the second position to achieve locking and unlocking of the box cover. In other embodiments, whether the magnet performs rotational motion or linear motion, the first position and the second position can be located at different heights to achieve unlocking and locking, such as the present embodiment; the first position and the second position can be located at different positions in the horizontal direction to achieve unlocking and locking, such as the first position is close to the opening of the accommodating cavity, and the second position is located deep in the accommodating cavity away from the opening of the accommodating cavity.
[0121] Optional, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 4 is a cam mechanism, including a cam 411 and a follower 412. The cam 411 is fixedly connected to the output end of the power device 3, and the follower 412 is fixedly connected to the magnet 22. The cam mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the magnet 22, and the structure is simple and reliable.
[0122] Specifically, the connection hole of the cam 411 is fixedly connected to the output end of the power device 3, that is, the output shaft of the motor. The connection hole of the cam 411 can be set to a D-shaped hole, a square hole, other polygonal holes, etc.

When the magnet 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the corresponding box cover 13 changes from the closed state to the open state, and the elastic member 8 stores elastic potential energy, which can automatically reset the magnet 22 from the second position to the first position, preparing for closing the box cover 13. In this embodiment, the elastic member 8 is specifically a spring.
[0126] Optional, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment includes the design point five: the steamer also includes a signal switch 71. When the magnet 22 is in the first position, the farthest point of the cam 411 abuts against the signal switch 71. The signal switch 71 is used as a position detector to obtain a signal that the magnet 22 is in the first position. When the magnet 22 is in the first position, the farthest point of the cam 411, that is, the point on the surface of the cam 411 farthest from the rotation center of the cam 411 abuts against the signal switch 71, triggering a signal. According to the signal, it can be judged that the magnet 22 is in the first position, so as to control the power device 3 to stop moving and keep the magnet 22 in the first position. The farthest point of the cam 411 is used to abut the signal switch 71, which can prevent other parts of the cam 411 from touching the signal switch 71 during the movement of the cam, which is simple, safe and reliable.
[0127] In other embodiments, a contact switch, a non-contact switch, a photoelectric sensor, a Hall sensor or other position sensor may be used as a position detector to detect the position of the magnet 22, so as to facilitate the control of the power device 3 according to the position of the magnet 22.

In other embodiments, the angle between the box cover 13 and the horizontal direction when it is opened can be flexibly adjusted according to needs.
[0148] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the steamer provided in this embodiment can be operated in the following manner:
[0149] The box cover 13 is generally in a closed state, and the box cover 13 and the base body 11 are in a close or nearly close state. At this time, the state of the cam 411, the magnet 22, and the magnetic body 21 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the magnet approaches the magnetic body and attracts the magnetic body so that the box cover is locked and remains closed; when the box cover 13 needs to be opened, the power device 3 drives the cam 411 to rotate, so that the magnet 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the magnet 22 moves away from the magnetic body 21 and releases the magnetic body 21, the box cover 13 is unlocked, and automatically opens under the action of the external elastic hinge 9, and the elastic member 8 is compressed to store potential energy.
[0150] After the box cover 13 is opened, the power device 3 continues to drive the cam 411 to rotate, and the elastic member 8 releases potential energy to reset the magnet 22 from the second position to the first position, so that the magnetic body 21 can absorb the magnet 22 to close the box cover 13, preparing for the closing of the box cover 13; because the magnetic body 21 is away from the magnet 22 when the box cover 13 is opened, even if the magnet 22 moves to the first position at this time, it still cannot absorb the magnetic body 21, and the box cover 13 is still kept open under the action of the external elastic hinge 9; when the long side of the cam 411 contacts the follower 412, the magnet 22 just moves to the first position, and the cam 411 abuts against the position switch, triggering a signal, and the power device 3 is controlled to stop moving according to the signal.
[0151] When the box cover 13 needs to be closed, the box cover 13 is manually pushed so that the magnetic body 21 is close to the magnet 22 located at the first position and is attracted by the magnet, so that the box cover 13 is locked and remains closed.
[0152] The power device 3 acts as a power source to drive the magnet 22 to move away from the magnetic body 21 to unlock the box cover 13 so that the box cover can be automatically opened under the action of the external elastic hinge. There is no need to set a handle on the box cover 13. The outer surface of the box cover 13 is flat to prevent children from operating it, reducing or avoiding the risk of children opening the box cover 13 and contacting the water tank 12, and the safety is high.
[0153] To open the cover, after the power device 3 overcomes the magnetic force between the magnet 22 and the magnetic body 21, the outer elastic hinge 9 can automatically open the cover, and the power device 3 requires little power; to close the cover, the power device 3 only needs to drive the cam 411 to reset, and the cover can be closed manually, and the power device 3 requires little power. Therefore, the power device 3 has low load, low energy consumption, and low noise.
[0154] The power device 3 may adopt a stepping motor, the magnet 22 may adopt a permanent magnet, and the mounting box 5 may adopt a plastic part, all of which have the advantage of low cost.

[0163] After the box cover 13 is opened, the power device 3 drives the gear 421 to rotate in the opposite direction, the gear 421 drives the rack 422 to move in the opposite direction, and the rack 422 drives the magnet 22 to reset from the second position to the first position, so that the magnetic body 21 can absorb the magnet 22 to close the box cover 13 and prepare for the closing of the box cover 13; because the magnetic body 21 is away from the magnet 22 when the box cover 13 is opened, even if the magnet 22 moves to the first position at this time, it still cannot absorb the magnetic body 21, and the box cover 13 is still kept open under the action of the external elastic hinge 9; the position sensor 72 is used to detect the position of the magnet 22.
