Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, and in particular to a steamer. Background Art

[0002] After the steaming tray with a handle is flanged on the circumferential edge of the steaming tray, there will be a gap under the handle due to structural reasons. When in use, the flanged surface of the steaming tray fits with the open top surface of the pot body, and there is a gap between the gap under the handle and the open top surface of the pot body. When the water boils, a large amount of steam will be ejected from the gap, resulting in a high temperature of the handle, posing a risk of scalding the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a steamer to reduce the steam from directly spraying out from the edge of the steaming grid.

[0004] A steamer comprises: a pot body and a steaming rack, wherein the top end of the side wall of the pot body is provided with an annular convex edge, and the steaming rack is provided with an annular convex rib protruding upward near the edge, and the convex rib forms an annular retaining groove with an opening facing downward on the bottom surface of the steaming rack, and when the steaming rack is placed on the pot body, the top wall of the retaining groove rests on the convex edge.

[0005] The steamer provided in the present application is provided with an annular convex edge, convex ribs and retaining groove, and when the steaming rack is placed on the pot body, the top wall of the retaining groove rests on the convex edge. Therefore, when the steaming rack is placed on the pot body, the steaming rack is in contact with the pot body on all sides, and there is no gap between the steaming rack and the pot body for steam to flow out, thereby preventing steam from spraying out directly from the gap.

[0006] In one embodiment, the pot body includes an outer shell and an inner pot, the inner pot is arranged on the inner side of the outer shell, and the top end of the side wall of the inner pot is provided with a first flange folded outward, the first flange is fixed to the outer shell, and the convex edge is formed on the first flange.

[0007] Thus, by providing the first flange folded outward on the inner pot, water can be prevented from flowing into the outer shell from the gap between the inner pot and the outer shell. The convex edge is formed on the first flange, which is conducive to the convex edge and the convex rib to form a seal, thereby preventing steam from overflowing.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, the convex edge is arranged close to the inner wall of the inner pot.

[0009] In this way, the convex edge can prevent the steam from spreading outward, so that the steam flows upward more concentratedly to steam the food on the steaming tray.

[0010] In one embodiment, the height of the convex edge is H, H≥1mm.

[0011] Due to the provision of the convex edge, if the steam wants to overflow from the gap between the convex edge and the retaining groove, the flow path of the steam is: first flow upward along the inner wall of the convex edge to the top wall of the retaining groove, then flow over the convex edge to the outside of the convex edge, and finally flow downward from the top wall of the retaining groove outside the convex edge to the opening of the retaining groove and flow out. The greater the height of the convex edge, the longer the flow path of the steam, and thus the less likely the steam is to overflow from the fitting point between the steaming rack and the pot body. In this embodiment, the height H of the convex edge is ≥ 1 mm, ensuring that a good seal is formed between the convex edge and the top wall of the retaining groove, and the steam is not likely to overflow from this place.

[0012] In one embodiment, the width of the convex edge is D, and D≥2mm.

[0013] If the width of the convex edge is too small, the structural strength is low and it is easy to deform, thereby causing a large gap between the steaming tray and the pot body and causing steam to spray out from the gap. In this embodiment, the width D of the convex edge is ≥ 2 mm, ensuring that the convex edge has sufficient strength and is not easy to deform, and there is a sufficiently large fitting surface between the convex edge and the top wall of the retaining groove, so that steam is not easy to overflow from the convex edge.

[0014] In one embodiment, the steaming grid includes a main body and handles disposed on opposite sides of the main body. The edge of the main body is provided with a second flange, and the convex rib is disposed on the second flange and is disposed close to the center of the main body.

[0015] Thus, the handle is provided to facilitate taking the steaming tray. The convex rib is provided on the second flange and close to the center of the main body, so that the convex rib rests on the convex edge of the pot body.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, a retaining rib is provided on the lower surface of the handle at one end close to the main body.

[0017] The barrier ribs have a blocking effect on steam, preventing overflowing steam from spraying directly onto the handle. At the same time, by providing the barrier ribs, the user can be prevented from touching the main body of the steaming rack when holding the handle, thereby further enhancing the anti-scalding effect of the handle.

[0018] In one embodiment, the edge of the second flange is folded downward to form a reinforcing rib.

[0019] In this way, the structural strength of the second flange can be enhanced, so that the second flange is not easily deformed, thereby ensuring that the rib is not easily deformed and has a longer service life.

[0020] In one embodiment, the main body is made of metal, and the handle is made of plastic.

[0021] In this way, the heat conductivity of the handle is poor, so the temperature will not rise quickly, avoiding overscalding of the handle.

[0022] In one embodiment, the convex rib is formed by stamping the main body, and the retaining groove is formed simultaneously when the convex rib is stamped.

[0023] In this way, the processing method is simple and the structure is also very simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3The present application provides a steamer, comprising: a pot body 10 and a steaming rack 20, wherein the top of the side wall of the pot body 10 is provided with an annular convex edge 111, and the steaming rack 20 is provided with an annular convex rib 211 protruding upward near the edge, and the convex rib 211 forms an annular retaining groove 212 with an opening facing downward on the bottom surface of the steaming rack 20. When the steaming rack 20 is placed on the pot body 10, the top wall of the retaining groove 212 rests on the convex edge 111. The top wall of the retaining groove 212 rests on the convex edge 111, that is, the convex rib 211 rests on the convex edge 111. Since the convex edge 111, the convex rib 211, and the retaining groove 212 are all annular, when the steaming rack 20 is placed on the pot body 10, the four sides of the steaming rack 20 are all in contact with the pot body 10, and there is no gap between the steaming rack 20 and the pot body 10 for steam to flow out, thereby preventing steam from directly spraying out from the gap.

[0039] See also Figures 3 to 5 In this embodiment, the pot body 10 includes an outer shell 12 and an inner pot 11. The inner pot 11 is arranged inside the outer shell 12, and a first flange 112 folded outward is provided at the top of the side wall of the inner pot 11. The first flange 112 is fixed to the outer shell 12, and the flange 111 is formed on the first flange 112. By providing the first flange 112 folded outward on the inner pot 11, water can be prevented from flowing into the outer shell 12 from the gap between the inner pot 11 and the outer shell 12. The flange 111 is formed on the first flange 112, which is conducive to the flange 111 and the rib 211 to form a seal, thereby preventing steam from overflowing.

[0040] Furthermore, the convex edge 111 is disposed close to the inner wall of the inner pot 11 . In this way, the convex edge 111 can block the steam from diffusing outward, so that the steam flows upward more concentratedly to steam the food on the steaming tray 20 .

[0041] For further information, see Figure 5 , the height of the convex edge 111 is H, H≥1mm. Due to the provision of the convex edge 111, if the steam wants to overflow from the gap between the convex edge 111 and the retaining groove 212, the flow path of the steam is: first flow upward along the inner wall of the convex edge 111 to the top wall of the retaining groove 212, then flow over the convex edge 111 to the outside of the convex edge 111, and finally flow downward from the top wall of the retaining groove 212 outside the convex edge 111 to the opening of the retaining groove 212 and flow out. The greater the height of the convex edge 111, the longer the flow path of the steam, and thus the less likely the steam is to overflow from the fitting point between the steaming rack 20 and the pot body 10. In this embodiment, the height of the convex edge 111 H≥1mm, ensuring that a good seal is formed between the convex edge 111 and the top wall of the retaining groove 212, and the steam is not likely to overflow from there.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 5, the width of the convex edge 111 is D, D ≥ 2mm. If the width of the convex edge 111 is too small, the structural strength is low and it is easy to deform, resulting in a large gap between the steaming rack 20 and the pot body 10 and causing steam to spray out from the gap. In this embodiment, the width of the convex edge 111 D ≥ 2mm ensures that the convex edge 111 has sufficient strength and is not easy to deform, and there is a sufficiently large fitting surface between the convex edge 111 and the top wall of the retaining groove 212, so that steam is not easy to overflow from the convex edge 111.

[0043] Furthermore, the top wall of the convex edge 111 and the inner and outer side walls are all connected by arc curved transitions without sharp corners, thereby preventing the convex edge 111 from hurting people or scratching the steaming grid 20, and the appearance is also very beautiful.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The steaming tray 20 includes a main body 21, and handles 23 disposed on opposite sides of the main body 21. The edge of the main body 21 is provided with a second flange 210, and a convex rib 211 is disposed on the second flange 210 and disposed near the center of the main body 21. Thus, by providing the handle 23, it is convenient to take the steaming tray 20. The convex rib 211 is disposed on the second flange 210 and disposed near the center of the main body 21, so that the convex rib 211 can be conveniently placed on the convex edge 111 of the pot body 10.

[0045] Furthermore, the main body 21 is made of metal, and the handle 23 is made of plastic. In this way, the handle 23 has poor thermal conductivity, so that the temperature does not rise quickly, and the handle 23 is prevented from overscalding people. Furthermore, the main body 21 can be made of alloy material, specifically stainless steel, which is resistant to high temperatures and easy to clean.

[0046] Furthermore, the main body 21 is formed by stamping a metal plate, the convex rib 211 is formed by stamping the main body 21, and the retaining groove 212 is formed simultaneously when the convex rib 211 is stamped. The processing method is simple and the structure is also very simple.

[0047] For further information, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The edge of the second flange 210 is folded downward to form a reinforcing rib 213, so that the structural strength of the second flange 210 can be strengthened, so that the second flange 210 is not easily deformed, thereby ensuring that the convex rib 211 is not easily deformed and has a longer service life.

[0048] Furthermore, the main body 21 further includes a mounting portion 214 disposed at the edge of the second flange 210 and protruding outward, and the handle 23 is connected to the mounting portion 214. The mounting portion 214 facilitates the connection between the handle 23 and the main body 21. In this embodiment, the handle 23 is covered on the mounting portion 214, and the handle 23 plays a role in heat insulation and scalding prevention.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, a retaining rib 231 is provided on the lower surface of the handle 23 at one end close to the main body 21. The retaining rib 231 has a blocking effect on steam, preventing the overflowing steam from directly spraying onto the handle 23. At the same time, by providing the retaining rib 231, the user can be prevented from touching the main body 21 of the steaming tray 20 when holding the handle 23, thereby further enhancing the anti-scalding effect of the handle 23.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the steamer may further include a pot cover 30 covering the steaming rack 20. The edge of the pot cover 30 rests on the convex rib 211. Of course, the steamer may also include a bottomed steamer or a bottomless steamer, and the steaming rack 20 may be placed on top of a bottomed steamer or a bottomless steamer, or may be used as the "bottom" of a bottomless steamer.

[0051] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
