Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to an inner pot component for a cooking utensil and the cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] The inner pot of traditional cooking utensils (such as rice cookers, pressure cookers, etc.) is a complete cavity, and only one kind of food can be cooked in one cooking process. When the user needs to cook multiple ingredients, they need to cook them multiple times separately, and the cooking process is time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] Therefore, in the prior art, some cooking utensils have a partition added inside the inner pot to divide the inner space of the inner pot into at least two cavities arranged horizontally, and users can place ingredients in different cavities to cook different kinds of ingredients at the same time. However, the inner space of the inner pot is limited, and as the diversity of ingredients to be cooked increases, the method of adding a partition still cannot meet the needs of users to cook more kinds of ingredients.

[0004] Some cooking utensils are also equipped with a divider for placing on the partition of the inner pot. On the basis of the partition dividing the bottom space of the inner pot into multiple cavities, the divider is used to further divide the internal space of the inner pot into upper and lower cavities, so that there are more independent cooking spaces inside the inner pot.

[0005] However, the divider is generally placed directly on the partition, in contact with the partition, and supported by the partition, so that the divider forms a relatively serious obstruction on the bottom space of the inner tank where the partition is located. The steam in the bottom space of the inner tank is blocked by the divider, and thus cannot flow smoothly to the divider to heat the food above the divider. At the same time, since the top of the partition is in contact with the divider, the steam in each cavity at the bottom space of the inner tank cannot circulate. This results in extremely uneven heating efficiency of the food in the upper and lower cavities of the inner tank, as well as the left and right cavities at the bottom. Although it is possible to cook a variety of ingredients at the same time, there are large differences in the cooking effects, and the user experience is not good. Utility Model Content

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an inner pot assembly for a cooking utensil comprises an inner pot and a steamer placed inside the inner pot, the side wall of the inner pot is provided with an overlap position, the edge of the steamer overlaps the overlap position, the inner pot is provided with a dividing rib to divide the internal space of the inner pot into at least two cooking cavities, the bottom wall of the steamer is provided with a matching groove corresponding to the dividing rib and matching with the dividing rib, an air gap is provided between the top of the dividing rib and the top wall of the matching groove, and the steamer has an air passage connecting the air gap and the inside of the steamer.

[0049] In the utility model, the dividing rib 11 divides the internal space of the inner pot 1 into at least two cooking cavities 111 laterally. At the same time, the steamer 2 is overlapped with the overlapping position 12 of the inner pot 1, which is located above the dividing rib 11, thereby further dividing the internal space of the inner pot 1 into two upper and lower chambers, so that the inner pot 1 has more cooking space, which is convenient for cooking multiple ingredients at the same time.

[0050] The bottom wall of the steamer 2 has a matching groove 21, and the dividing rib 11 extends into the matching groove 21, but does not contact the top wall of the matching groove 21, so that an air gap 211 is formed between the two, so that the cooking cavities 111 below the steamer 2 can be connected through the air gap 211, so that the hot air flow and steam in each cooking cavity 111 can flow mutually, so that the temperature in each cooking cavity 111 is more uniform, and the uniformity of the cooking effect of the food in each cooking cavity 111 below is ensured. In addition, the steamer 2 has an air passage 23 connecting the air gap 211 and the inside of the steamer 2, thereby realizing the connection between the cavity below the steamer 2 and the cavity above the steamer 2, and the steam in the cooking cavity 111 below can smoothly flow upward into the steamer 2 to heat the food in the steamer 2. In this way, the heating uniformity of the ingredients in the multiple cooking cavities 111 arranged horizontally below is ensured, and the heating uniformity of the ingredients in the upper and lower cavities of the steamer 2 is also ensured, so that the ingredients in each cavity can be better heated and the overall cooking effect is improved.

[0051] It is understandable that if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the matching groove 21 is arranged on the bottom wall of the steamer 2 and is recessed upward, so that the matching groove 21 has an opening facing downward, and the dividing rib 11 extends from the opening into the matching groove 21. There is an air gap 211 between the dividing rib 11 and the top wall of the matching groove 21, that is, there is a vertical gap between the two, so that the top of the dividing rib 11 does not contact the steamer 2, so as to facilitate gas flow.

[0052] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the steamer 2 has side walls and a bottom wall, so that the internal space of the steamer 2 has a certain depth, and the top of the side wall of the steamer 2 is overlapped at the overlap position 12. Of course, the steamer 2 can also be a steaming tray, that is, only has a bottom wall but no side walls, and the edge of the bottom wall is overlapped at the overlap position 12, which is not limited here.

[0053] Specifically, during the cooking process, the inner pot 1 of the utility model is heated by a heating plate or an electromagnetic wire coil. The inner pot 1 in the space below the steamer 2 heats the food in each cooking cavity 111 through the heat of the inner pot 1, while the food above (inside) the steamer 2 is heated by the steam rising from below.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the structure and function of the steamer 2. In one embodiment, a steam port is provided on the bottom wall of the steamer 2 so that the steam below can smoothly rise to the top of the steamer 2, and the liquid inside the steamer 2 can also drip smoothly without accumulating inside the steamer 2, so that the user can use the steamer 2 to steam food. In another embodiment, the bottom wall of the steamer 2 is closed so that the user can also cook food with soup in the steamer 2, enriching the use and improving the use experience.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the dividing rib 11 divides the lower space of the inner pot 1 into two cooking cavities 111, and the matching groove 21 is adapted to the shape of the dividing rib 11 and protrudes upward, thereby dividing the interior of the steamer 2 into two chambers. In this way, there are four relatively independent chambers inside the inner pot 1, and the user can cook four kinds of food at the same time.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the dividing ribs 11 and the steamer 2 may also be other structures to divide the space above and below the steamer 2 into more chambers to meet the cooking needs of more ingredients, which is not limited here.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the height of the air gap 211 is H, wherein 2mm≤H≤30mm.

[0058] The height of the air gap 211 is between 2mm and 30mm, which allows the steam and heat inside the inner pot 1 to flow into the steamer 2, reducing the obstruction to the steam. It can also prevent the top of the partition rib 11 from pushing up the steamer 2 due to size differences or deformation of accessories, causing the steamer 2 to shake. Moreover, when the steamer 2 is deformed or sized abnormally, causing the steamer 2 to tilt, and one side falls under the overlap 12, the partition rib 11 can support and lift the steamer 2, preventing the steamer 2 from falling into the inner pot 1 and being difficult to remove.

[0059] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the formation method of the gas passage 23, which can be one of the following embodiments:

[0060] Implementation method 1: In this implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, a gas port 231 communicating with the gas gap 211 is formed on the top wall of the matching groove 21 , and the gas port 231 constitutes the gas passage 23 .

[0061] The top wall of the matching groove 21 is provided with an air port 231 to form the air passage 23, so that after the steam below the steamer 2 rises into the air gap 211, it can directly flow upward through the air port 231 to reach the top of the steamer 2, thereby conforming to the flow direction of the steam, so that the steam can reach the top of the steamer 2 without turning, thereby ensuring the flow efficiency of the steam, shortening the time for the steam to enter the steamer 2, and improving the heating efficiency of the steamer 2, that is, the upper layer of food.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the matching groove 21 is recessed upward to form a matching rib 22 on the upper side of the steamer 2. The matching rib 22 divides the interior of the steamer 2 into accommodating cavities 221 corresponding one to the cooking cavity 111. There are multiple air vents 231, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the matching rib 22.

[0063] The matching convex ribs 22 divide the internal space of the steamer 2, thereby forming more cooking space in the inner pot 1, which is convenient for cooking more food at the same time. At the same time, the shape and extension direction of the matching convex ribs 22 are adapted to the dividing ribs 11, and can also serve as a reminder for the user to place the steamer 2, so that the user can place the steamer 2 in the correct posture. The air outlets 231 are arranged at intervals, so that the steam passes through the steam outlets to reach the top of the steamer 2 more evenly, and the steam reaches the top of the steamer 2 more efficiently, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food inside the steamer 2.

[0064] Implementation method 2: In this implementation method, if Figure 5 As shown, the edge of the steamer 2 is provided with an escape groove 24 which is recessed toward the center of the steamer 2 , and the escape groove 24 cooperates with the side wall of the inner pot 1 to form the air passage 23 .

[0065] The edge of the rim of the steamer 2 is recessed toward the center to form the avoidance groove 24, which cooperates with the inner pot 1 to form the air passage 23, so that the steam below the steamer 2 can directly pass through the air passage 23 upward to reach the top of the steamer 2, and the steam in the air gap 211 can flow horizontally to the air passage 23 at the edge, and then flow upward to reach the top of the steamer 2, thereby increasing the amount of steam reaching the top of the steamer 2 through the air passage 23 per unit time, allowing the food inside the steamer 2 to be heated more quickly, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food inside the steamer 2.

[0066] At the same time, the avoidance groove 24 also forms a visual space. When placing the steamer 2, the user can observe the position of the dividing rib 11 below through the avoidance grooves 24 on both sides, so as to place the steamer 2 at a preset position, thereby improving the convenience of the user in assembling the steamer 2.

[0067] Preferably, the avoidance grooves 24 are relatively arranged on both sides of the steamer 2 so that steam can pass through both sides of the steamer 2 evenly, thereby improving the heating uniformity of the food inside the steamer 2 and making the force on both sides of the steamer 2 more uniform, thereby preventing the steamer 2 from tilting due to uneven force on both sides.

[0068] It should be noted that the above two embodiments can be implemented separately or in combination, that is, the steamer 2 has an air outlet 231 on the matching rib 22 and the avoidance groove 24 on the edge, so that the air outlet 23 is formed in the central area and the edge area of ​​the steamer 2, so that steam can rise from the central area as well as from the edge area, thereby improving the heating uniformity of the food in the central area and the edge area of ​​the steamer 2.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the rim of the inner pot 1 is provided with a sealing position 13 for abutting against the sealing ring of the pot cover 5, the overlapping position 12 is a supporting step 121 arranged below the sealing position 13, the dividing rib 11 extends upward from the bottom wall of the inner pot 1, and the upper edge of the dividing rib 11 is not higher than the supporting surface of the supporting step 121.

[0070] The sealing position 13 is used to cooperate with the sealing ring on the pot cover 5 for sealing, and the overlapping position 12 is lower than the sealing position 13, so that after the steamer 2 is placed, it will not interfere with the sealing ring of the pot cover 5, so that the sealing ring of the pot cover 5 can be stably abutted with the sealing position 13 of the edge of the inner pot 1 to achieve sealing, and at the same time, it also avoids the steamer 2 from pushing the sealing ring of the pot cover 5 and the sealing position 13 to release the seal when the steamer 2 tilts upward. In addition, the upper edge of the dividing rib 11 is not higher than the supporting surface of the supporting step 121, so as to ensure that when the steamer 2 is placed on the supporting surface, the dividing rib 11 will not interfere with the steamer 2, thereby ensuring that the air gap 211 is formed between the matching groove 21 and the dividing rib 11, and at the same time, it also avoids the wear of the steamer 2 and the dividing rib 11, thereby extending the service life.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the steamer 2 is provided with a reinforcing curling edge 25 , and the reinforcing curling edge 25 rests on the supporting step 121 .

[0072] The reinforced curled edge 25 can not only improve the strength of the edge of the steamer 2 to prevent deformation at the overlap position between the edge and the inner pot 1, but also improve the stability of the cooperation between the steamer 2 and the overlap position 12 to reduce the possibility of the steamer 2 slipping from the overlap position 12.

[0073] Preferably, if Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the inner liner 1 assembly further includes a handle 3 rotatably connected to the steamer 2 , and the handle 3 has an extraction position located above the steamer 2 and a storage position stored inside the steamer 2 .

[0074] Specifically, when the handle 3 is rotated upward to stand above the steamer 2, it is in the extraction position. At this time, the user can lift the steamer 2 by the handle 3. When the handle 3 is rotated downward to avoid the space above the steamer 2, it is in the storage position, which allows the pot cover 5 to be closed normally and avoids interference between the handle 3 and the pot cover 5.

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the handle 3 includes a connecting portion 31 and a holding portion 32, the connecting portion 31 is rotatably connected to the steamer 2, the holding portion 32 has a supporting section 321 resting on the edge of the steamer 2, and an avoidance section 322 bent toward the center of the steamer 2, and a heat dissipation gap 323 is provided between the avoidance section 322 and the steamer 2.

[0076] When the handle 3 is in the storage position, the support section 321 rests on the edge of the steamer 2, so that the edge of the steamer 2 supports the handle 3, so that the handle 3 is stably placed, and the handle 3 is prevented from swinging into the food cavity inside the steamer 2 and contacting the food inside. The avoidance section 322 has a heat dissipation gap 323 between it and the steamer 2, which increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the avoidance section 322 and improves the heat dissipation effect of the avoidance section 322, thereby maintaining a lower temperature. When cooking is finished, the user can lift the handle 3 through the avoidance section 322 and then remove the steamer 2, which improves the tactile feeling of the user when holding the handle 3 and improves the user experience. In addition, the heat dissipation gap 323 also provides space for the user to hold the handle 3. The user can put his fingers into the heat dissipation gap 323 to complete the grip of the handle 3, and the operation is simpler and faster.

[0077] like Fig.10 As shown, the utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body 4 with a containing cavity and a pot cover 5 covering the pot body 4, and also comprising the above-mentioned inner pot 1 assembly for cooking utensil, wherein the inner pot 1 is placed in the containing cavity, and the steamer 2 is removably placed inside the inner pot 1.

[0078] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the type of the cooking utensil, which may be a normal pressure cooking utensil, such as an electric rice cooker, or a pressure cooking utensil, that is, a utensil capable of performing pressure cooking, such as a pressure cooker.

[0079] In addition, preferably, the partition rib 11 is non-detachably connected to the inner pot 1 to ensure the sealing between the cooking cavities 111 and prevent the soups in different cooking cavities 111 from mixing and causing flavor contamination. The steamer 2 is removably placed in the inner pot 1, and the user can use it as needed.

[0080] The parts not described in the present invention can be realized by adopting or drawing on the existing technology.

[0081] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0082] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
