The steam vent 201 is located above the temperature sensing table 101. The steam vent 201 is used to balance the pressure in the pot body 2 and control the heating power together with the temperature sensing table 101 of the base 1; the steam inlet pipe 204 is located directly above the heating tank 106. Preferably, the steam inlet pipe 204 adopts a structure with a closed top and an open side wall to prevent food soup from flowing into the heating tank 106; a drain pipe 203 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 202, and the bottom end of the drain pipe 203 is connected to the reflux hole 104; the steam inlet pipe 204 and the drain pipe 203 are welded, stretched or injection molded into one with the pot body 2.

[0038] A sealing ring 108 is provided at the top of the heating tank 106, and the sealing ring 108 is used to form a seal with the bottom of the steam inlet pipe 204, so as to prevent steam from overflowing and losing; an electric heating tube 10 is provided at the bottom of the heating tank 106, and a temperature sensing element 12 is provided on the temperature sensing platform 101. During use, the electric heating tube 10 is used to heat the water in the heating tank 106 to generate steam. After detecting the high-temperature steam (indicating that the pot body 2 is already full of steam), the temperature sensing element 12 transmits a signal to the control panel 1011, and the control panel 1011 reduces the heating gear of the electric heating tube 10, so as to save electricity and reduce energy consumption.

[0039] In this embodiment, it should be noted that a groove is also provided on the top of the base 1, and the temperature sensing table 101 is arranged in the groove. A drainage hole 102 is provided at the bottom of the groove, and the drainage hole 102 is connected to the water flow channel 105.

[0053] The technical effect achieved by this embodiment is: by providing the positioning platform 103 and the boss 205, the rapid positioning and installation of the pot body 2 can be guaranteed, and the assembly is more convenient and quick; at the same time, the boss 205 can also play the role of a bracket and can be used as a steaming rack.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, another electric steamer provided in this embodiment has a structure including all the contents of Embodiment 3, and only the different parts are described below.

[0056] In this embodiment, the pot body 2 and the pot cover 3 are both made by bending + welding technology. A steam hood 206 is also provided on the top of the pot body 2. The steam hood 206 is provided on the outside of the steam inlet pipe 204. A water collecting tank 202 is formed between the inner and outer rings of the pot body 2.

[0059] The protection switch 11 is used to prevent dry burning. The temperature sensing element 12 is installed below the steam vent 201. When the steam vent 201 releases steam to heat it to the set value, it controls the power of the electric heating tube 10 together with the control circuit board 13. When the conversion switch 9 selects the switch to be closed, the electric heating tube 10 is not controlled by the temperature sensing element 12 and the control circuit board 13. The time controller 14 is used to control the working time of the machine (60 minutes with a long closing function is preferred).

[0060] The working principle of the whole steamer is as follows: the electric heating tube 10 heats water to generate water vapor, which reaches the pot body 2 through the steam inlet pipe 204 of the pot body 2. When the pot cavity (the cavity formed between the pot body 2 and the pot cover 3) is filled with steam, the steam will reach the temperature sensing table 101 from the steam venting hole 201 of the pot body 2. The temperature sensing element 12 in the temperature sensing table 101 reaches the set temperature value, and the circuit can reduce the power of the electric heating tube 10, thereby achieving the effect of saving electricity and water; the water collection tank 202 of the pot body 2 collects the distilled water on the wall of the pot cover 3, and drains it to the water receiving bottle to prepare clean distilled water, and drains it to the reflux hole 104 of the base 1 for reuse to save water.

[0061] The technical effect achieved by this embodiment is that the entire steamer saves energy and water, and can be automatically controlled during use, making it more convenient to use.
