Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, in particular to a locking device for cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] Steamers are one of the commonly used cooking utensils. They mainly use steam to steam buns, snacks, dishes, etc. in the pot. Currently, the main steamers on the market are divided into gas steamers and electric steamers. Among them, the working principle of electric steamers is to use a heater to heat the water in the pot to form high-temperature steam or generate high-temperature steam through a steam generator, and then use the high-temperature steam to heat and cook food; when steaming or stewing food, the water in the pot needs to be kept in a boiling state continuously so that enough steam can be generated to steam and stew the food.

[0003] Chinese patent document No. CN204445353U disclosed an electric steamer in 2015, which specifically disclosed a base, a water container arranged on the base, a steamer grid and a steamer cover mounted on the water container, and an energy-gathering cover assembly arranged in the water container. The energy-gathering cover assembly includes an energy-gathering cover, which can separate the water in the water container into a steam chamber in the energy-gathering cover and a water storage chamber outside the energy-gathering cover. The upper end of the energy-gathering cover is provided with a steam outlet, and the lower end is provided with a water inlet connecting the steam chamber and the water storage chamber. The lower end of the energy-gathering cover has an enlarged heating opening. The energy-gathering cover assembly uses its own gravity to make the edge of the heating opening press downward against and seal against the bottom of the water container, thereby enclosing the bottom of the water container into a heating area, and the water in the steam chamber is heated by the bottom of the water container in this area to form steam. In the above patent document, since the energy collecting cover assembly is sealed to the bottom of the water container by its own gravity, when the electric steamer is working, the boiling water and steam pressure may cause the energy collecting cover assembly to shift, resulting in uneven and concentrated steam, affecting the heating effect.

[0004] Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a locking device for cooking equipment is provided, including a body 1 and a chassis 2, wherein an energy collecting cover 3 is provided on the chassis 2, and a locking structure 4 is provided between the body 1 and the chassis 2, and the chassis 2 is installed on the body 1 through the locking structure 4.

[0028] Specifically, the chassis 2 uses a locking structure 4 to mount the energy collecting hood 3 on the body 1, which can ensure that the chassis 2 always remains stable during use, ensure that the steam is discharged smoothly when the water boils, and prevent the chassis 2 from shifting; and when the chassis 2 needs to be removed, it can be easily removed through the locking structure 4, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance.

[0029] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure 4 includes a handle 401 and a rotating shaft 402 . The handle 401 and the chassis 2 are connected via the rotating shaft 402 , so that the handle 401 can be flipped open or locked relative to the chassis 2 via the rotating shaft 402 .

[0030] Specifically, the handle 401 can be flipped open or locked relative to the chassis 2 via the rotating shaft 402 to achieve fixed or detachable installation of the chassis 2 on the body 1.

[0031] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure 4 also includes a locking assembly 403, which includes a first locking assembly 4031 arranged on the handle 401 and a second locking assembly 4032 arranged on the body 1. When the handle 401 is locked with the chassis 2, the first locking assembly 4031 cooperates with the second locking assembly 4032, and the chassis 2 is installed on the body 1; when the handle 401 is separated from the chassis 2, the first locking assembly 4031 is separated from the second locking assembly 4032.

[0032] Specifically, when the operator needs to lock the chassis 2, he only needs to rotate the handle 401 to a suitable angle, and the first lock buckle 4031 will automatically cooperate with the second lock buckle 4032. During the cooperation process, the handle 401 will further press the chassis 2 to prevent the chassis 2 from moving; when the handle 401 is separated from the chassis 2, the first lock buckle 4031 and the second lock buckle 4032 are automatically separated, allowing the operator to easily open and close.

[0033] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the chassis 2 and the energy gathering cover 3 are an integrally formed structure or a separately formed structure.

[0034] Specifically, the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. When the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 are an integral structure, the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 are processed at the same time, and there is no need to connect the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 during assembly, thereby simplifying the assembly steps and effectively improving the assembly efficiency; when the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 are a split structure, the chassis 2 and the energy collecting cover 3 are manufactured separately, and then the two are connected and fixed by overlapping, plugging, riveting, welding, screws or magnetic connection.

[0035] Further, if Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an inner liner 5 is provided on the body 1 , and a water collecting tank 501 is provided on the inner liner 5 . When the chassis 2 is installed on the inner liner 5 , the energy collecting cover 3 is matched with the water collecting tank 501 .

[0036] Further, if Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, a sealing ring 6 is provided between the energy collecting cover 3 and the water collecting tank 501 , and the chassis 2 makes the sealing ring 6 fit tightly on the water collecting tank 501 through the locking structure 4 .

[0037] Specifically, when the chassis 2 is locked with the body 1 through the locking structure 4, the sealing ring 6 fits tightly on the water collecting tank 501, preventing the high temperature generated during the steam cooking process from causing heat melting or leakage at the interface of the energy collecting cover 8, thereby affecting the normal operation and service life of the entire equipment.

[0038] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the energy collecting cover 3 includes an air inlet 301 and a connecting pipe 302 . The air inlet 301 is trumpet-shaped and matches the water collecting tank 501 . The sealing ring 6 is provided with a first rib 601 . The air inlet 301 is provided with a groove 3011 matching the first rib 601 .

[0039] Specifically, the air inlet 301 is trumpet-shaped and matched with the water collection tank 501, so that the water volume becomes smaller, so as to ensure that the water collection tank 501 is heated centrally and steam is quickly discharged. The steam generated by the water collection tank 501 flows along the connecting pipe 302, and the food is quickly heated by the steam heating from the energy-gathering cover, thereby realizing efficient steam cooking;

[0040] The sealing ring 6 cooperates with the slot 3011 on the air inlet 301 through the first rib 601 , so that the sealing ring 6 can be quickly disassembled or installed on the air inlet 301 .

[0041] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, the outer periphery of the sealing ring 6 is provided with an inclined portion 602 , which is tightly fitted with the inner periphery of the water collecting tank 501 ; the sealing ring 6 is provided with a second convex rib 603 , which is fitted with the end surface of the water collecting tank 501 .

[0042] Specifically, the sealing ring 6 is closely fitted with the inner circumference and end surface of the water collecting tank 101 by providing the inclined portion 602 and the second convex rib 603, thereby preventing the energy collecting cover 8 from being hot-melted, and the sealing ring 6 plays a waterproof role.

[0043] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the inner liner 5 is provided with a accommodating chamber 502 for containing liquid, the water collecting tank 501 is provided with a drainage groove 5011, and the sealing ring 6 is provided with a water replenishing hole 604. The accommodating chamber 502, the drainage groove 5011 and the water replenishing hole 604 are connected, and the liquid in the accommodating chamber 502 is discharged to the water collecting tank 501 through the drainage groove 5011 and the water replenishing hole 604.

[0044] Specifically, during the cooking process, the liquid will evaporate after being heated, resulting in a reduction in the water content of the liquid. Therefore, a drainage groove 5011 is provided on the water collecting tank 501, so that the liquid in the accommodating cavity 502 is discharged to the water collecting tank 501 through the drainage groove 5011, thereby achieving a balance between evaporation and water replenishment.

[0045] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the handle 401 is provided with a handle cavity 4011 for inserting a hand.

[0046] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, a sealing member 7 is provided between the body 1 and the inner liner 5, a mounting groove 102 is provided on the body 1, a folded flange 503 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner liner 5, and the sealing member 7 is installed on the mounting groove 102. When the inner liner 5 is installed on the body 1, the flange 503 is inserted into the sealing member 503.

[0047] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, a detachable steamer assembly 8 is also provided on the chassis 2, and the steamer assembly 8 includes a steamer 801 detachably mounted on the chassis 2 and a steaming cover 802 that can cover the inner pot 5 and / or the top opening of the steamer 801, and the steaming cover 802 is provided with an exhaust port 8021 for discharging steam. The steamer 801 is arranged in multiple layers, and two adjacent steamers 801 are interconnected.

[0048] Specifically, the steamer assembly 8 is composed of a plurality of steamers 801 detachably mounted on the chassis 2, each steamer 801 being an independent unit and being able to be independently disassembled and installed, thus increasing the flexibility of the device;

[0049] The steaming cover 802 with an opening on the top of the steamer can not only be used to close the steamer, but also serve as a passage for exhausting steam; when steam is generated, it can be exhausted through the exhaust port 8021 on the steaming cover 802, thereby ensuring the pressure balance in the steamer and avoiding danger caused by excessive steam pressure;

[0050] The steamer 801 is multi-layered. This design can greatly increase the capacity of steaming and cooking food to meet the needs of gatherings of different numbers of people. Moreover, the steam circulation between each layer is also guaranteed, and the heat can be fully diffused to each layer.
