[0032] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a steamer, which includes an inner tank 1 and a water tank 2. The steamer in the present embodiment directly heats water input into the inner tank 1 through a heating plate 11 built into the inner tank 1, thereby generating steam. Specifically, a heating plate 11 is provided inside the inner tank 1, and the heating plate 11 is embedded in the bottom of the inner tank 1. A water inlet 151 is provided on the inner tank 1, and a guide structure is formed on the inner wall of the inner tank 1. The guide structure is configured to guide the water flowing into the inner tank 1 through the water inlet 151 to the heating plate 11. The water tank 2 is connected to the water inlet 151 and is configured to supply water to the inner tank 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water tank 2 inputs water into the inner pot 1 through the water inlet 151, and the water flowing into the inner pot 1 can be guided to the heating plate 11 by the guide structure, and the heating plate 11 can heat the water input into the inner pot 1, thereby generating steam and further heating the food. Since the guide structure can guide the water flowing into the inner pot 1, the water input into the inner pot 1 can quickly flow to the heating plate 11, thereby improving the response speed of the steam box, thereby avoiding affecting the user's experience.

[0034] Specifically, a working chamber 16 is formed inside the inner pot 1, and the user can put food into the working chamber 16. After that, the user can control the steamer to start heating the food by pressing a switch button on the steamer or touching a switch function key on the touch screen of the steamer. Since the water flow can quickly flow to the heating plate 11, the steamer can quickly generate steam and heat the food after receiving the start-up instruction triggered by the user. Based on the above, the steamer in this embodiment has a fast response speed, thereby avoiding affecting the user's experience.

[0035] Preferably, the inner pot 1 includes a bottom wall 12 and a side wall 13, the side wall 13 is installed on the bottom wall 12, the side wall 13 and the bottom wall 12 form the working chamber 16 mentioned above, a water inlet 151 is opened on the side wall 13 along the first horizontal direction, the two side walls 13 are arranged opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction, one of the side walls 13 is provided with a water inlet 151, a mounting groove 121 is opened on the bottom wall 12, the heating plate 11 is embedded in the mounting groove 121, and the top of the heating plate 11 is lower than the top of the mounting groove 121, so that the water flowing to the heating plate 11 can accumulate above the heating plate 11.

[0036] The guide structure includes a first guide groove 122 and a second guide groove 123. The first guide groove 122 and the second guide groove 123 are both opened on the bottom wall 12. The first guide groove 122 is located below the water inlet 151, and the first guide groove 122 and the water inlet 151 are flush in the second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The water input into the inner tank 1 through the water inlet 151 can flow into the first guide groove 122 under the action of its own gravity, and the second guide groove 123 is connected between the first guide groove 122 and the installation groove 121, and the installation groove 121 is lower than the first guide groove 12 2. The bottom of the second guide groove 123 is a first inclined surface 1231. The height of the first inclined surface 1231 gradually decreases from the side connected to the first guide groove 122 to the side connected to the mounting groove 121. The water flowing into the first guide groove 122 can flow into the second guide groove 123. The first guide groove 122 and the second guide groove 123 can guide the water flow, thereby directing the water flow to the heating plate 11. Moreover, the bottom of the second guide groove 123 is inclined. Therefore, the water flow can further quickly flow to the heating plate 11, thereby improving the response speed of the steamer, thereby avoiding affecting the user's experience.

[0037] In addition, the bottom of the first guide groove 122 is a second inclined surface 1221, and the height of the second inclined surface 1221 gradually decreases from the side close to the water inlet 151 to the side connected to the second guide groove 123, so that the water flow can flow quickly into the second guide groove 123, and then the water flow can further flow quickly to the heating plate 11.

[0038] Furthermore, there is an arc transition between the bottom wall 12 and the side wall 13, and the transition area between the bottom wall 12 and the side wall 13 is connected to the side of the first guide groove 122 away from the second guide groove 123. The water inlet 151 is located above the transition area between the bottom wall 12 and the side wall 13, and the water inlet 151 is arranged close to the transition area. In this embodiment, the transition area between the bottom wall 12 and the side wall 13 is also a component of the guide structure. The water input into the inner pot 1 through the water inlet 151 can flow along the arc transition area to the first guide groove 122, thereby avoiding the diffusion of water due to splashing, and thus allowing the water input into the inner pot 1 to further flow quickly to the heating plate 11.
