Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cookers, and in particular to a water-proof cover for an electric steamer. Background Art

[0002] An electric steamer, also known as an electric steamer, is a kitchen appliance developed based on traditional wooden steamers, aluminum steamers, bamboo steamers, etc. It uses the principle of electric steam to directly steam various foods.

[0003] Electric steamers are often equipped with a movable steaming grid to separate the steamed food from the water at the bottom of the pot, and use the steam generated by the water to heat the food on the steaming grid to achieve the purpose of steaming the food. However, the steam floating up the steaming grid in existing electric steamers is relatively scattered, especially concentrated in the bottom heating wire area; and a lot of steam directly floats up from the side of the steaming grid, making the steam unconcentrated and the heating efficiency poor, resulting in a longer time required to steam the food.

[0004] To this end, the present application provides a water-proof cover for an electric steamer to concentrate the rising steam and improve the heating efficiency. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the attached examples of the present application Figure 1-8 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0030] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present embodiment provides a water-proof cover for an electric steamer, comprising a steaming plate 1 and a plurality of legs 4 in a circular array around the steaming plate 1, wherein a ring 3 for embedding a steaming bowl is provided in the middle of the steaming plate 1, and an hourglass cover 6 is overlapped together on one side of all the legs 4 facing the axis of the steaming plate 1, wherein one end of the hourglass cover 6 faces downward and the other end of the hourglass cover is buckled under the steaming plate 1.

[0031] Principle details of this embodiment:

[0032] A water-proof cover for an electric steamer includes a steaming plate 1 made of 304 stainless steel, the steaming plate 1 includes a plurality of support rings, and a plurality of connecting steel wires are welded together at the bottom ends of the plurality of support rings to form a hollow steaming plate 1. The outermost support ring of the steaming plate 1 has the same diameter as the innermost support ring and is larger than the diameters of the other support rings. The outermost support ring of the steaming plate 1 is used to receive the supporting legs 4, and the plurality of supporting legs 4 are distributed in a circular array on the outermost support ring. The middle part of the innermost support ring of the steaming plate 1 is hollowed out to form an embedded ring 3, and a steaming bowl can be placed in the embedded ring 3, which can ensure the placement stability of the steaming bowl and prevent it from shaking. The steaming bowl is deeply inserted under the steaming plate 1 to increase the contact area between the steaming bowl and the water vapor, which can speed up the steaming speed of the food in the steaming bowl.

[0033] All the legs 4 are overlapped with an hourglass cover 6 on one side facing the axis of the steaming plate 1. The hourglass cover 6 is hourglass-shaped, with an opening at the top and bottom, and the centers of the two cover buckles at opposite ends are connected and are designed to be closed. One end of the hourglass cover 6 faces downward, and the other end of the cover buckle is under the steaming plate 1. The hourglass cover 6 is also made of 304 stainless steel.

[0034] When in use, the steaming plate 1 is placed in the electric steamer, the legs 4 stand on the bottom of the electric steamer, the steaming plate 1 is located above the water level in the electric steamer, and the lower end of the hourglass cover 6 is buckled on the water level. Place the food on the steaming plate 1 one by one, cover the pot, and start the electric steamer. The heating wire in the electric steamer heats the water to form water vapor, and most of the floating water vapor falls into the hourglass cover 6. The water vapor floats along the lower end of the hourglass cover 6 and enters the upper end of the hourglass cover 6, and escapes toward the steaming plate 1. Through the hourglass cover 6, most of the water vapor is concentrated, reducing the amount of overflow steam, so that the food on the steaming plate 1 is heated to a higher degree per unit time, avoiding that some food (such as steamed chicken, fish, etc.) is not cooked after a round of heating, improving the steam utilization rate, and thus improving the heating efficiency.

[0035] In a further embodiment of the present invention, there are three legs 4, which ensures the stability of the steaming plate 1 and reduces the number of legs 4 as much as possible, thereby reducing the overall load and production cost.

[0036] In a further embodiment of the present solution, in order to facilitate the cleaning of the hourglass cover 6 after use, one of the legs 4 is rotatably connected to the periphery of the steaming plate 1 .

[0037] Principle details of this embodiment:

[0038] A notch is provided on the support ring at the outermost end of the steaming plate 1 , and a rotating shaft is fixed at the notch. A rotating joint 7 is provided on one of the legs 4 , and the leg 4 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft via the rotating joint 7 .

[0039] When the hourglass cover 6 is taken or placed, the leg 4 is swung to deflect, so that a gap can be formed, thereby taking or placing the hourglass cover 6.

[0040] Preferably, another structure that facilitates the removal and placement of the hourglass cover 6 can be provided: a threaded hole is provided in a circular array at the bottom end of the outermost support ring of the steaming plate 1, a stainless steel screw is provided at the upper end of the support leg 4, and the support leg 4 is threadedly installed with the steaming plate 1, so that the hourglass cover 6 can be removed by removing the support leg 4.

[0041] In a further embodiment of the present scheme, each of the legs 4 is provided with a slat 5 on the side facing the axis of the steaming plate 1. It is used to place the hourglass cover 6. The distance between the connection between the slat 5 and the legs 4 and the axis of the steaming plate 1 is greater than the radius of the lower port of the hourglass cover 6, and the distance between the suspended end of the slat 5 and the axis of the steaming plate 1 is less than the radius of the lower port of the hourglass cover 6. The three slats 5 satisfy the following conditions: when the side wall of the hourglass cover 6 abuts against two legs 4, another slat 5 is separated from the hourglass cover 6. This prevents the slat 5 on the leg 4 from buckling against the bottom end of the hourglass cover 6 and being unable to deflect when the rotatably mounted leg 4 needs to be deflected.

[0042] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a friction layer is provided at the rotation connection between the supporting legs 4 and the steaming plate 1 to increase the friction damping of the deflection of the supporting legs 4 and prevent the supporting legs 4 from easily deflecting and causing the steaming plate 1 to deflect to the side.

[0043] In a further embodiment of the present scheme, the hourglass cover 6 includes a gas collecting cover 601 buckled down and a gas releasing cover 602 buckled up at the lower end of the steaming plate 1, and the gas collecting cover 601 and the gas releasing cover 602 are plugged into each other at the closing part. The gas collecting cover 601 is used to collect the floating water vapor, and the water vapor floats up from the narrow closing part into the gas releasing cover 602, and is released from the gas releasing cover 602 to the steaming plate 1, thereby completing the transportation of water vapor. The hourglass cover 6 is divided into two parts, which is convenient for cleaning the narrow part where the two parts communicate with each other. A friction ring 603 is provided at the closing plug-in part of the gas collecting cover 601 and the gas releasing cover 602. The tightness of the connection between the gas collecting cover 601 and the gas releasing cover 602 is increased to prevent leakage caused by easy separation.

[0044] In a further embodiment of the present scheme, the water vapor floats up into the hourglass cover 6 and floats up from the narrow closing part. However, if the steaming bowl is not placed in the embedded ring 3, the water vapor may be discharged directly from the embedded ring 3 to the top of the steaming plate 1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the embedded ring 3 is embedded with a tray 2, and the side wall of the tray 2 is evenly distributed with a number of air holes. The water vapor floats up from the closing part of the hourglass cover 6 and impacts on the tray 2, thereby spreading around the bottom of the steaming plate 1, so that the water vapor is evenly dispersed, which can not only make the food on the steaming plate 1 evenly heated, but also prevent the water vapor from directly floating over the steaming plate 1, thereby reducing the utilization rate of the water vapor.

[0045] In a further embodiment of this solution, the bottom end of the tray 2 is an arc-shaped surface to guide the water vapor to diffuse outward.

[0046] In a further embodiment of the present scheme, the support leg 4 includes a support plate 401 with a V-shaped vertical cross-section and two buckle rings 402. The support plate 401 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. A buckle groove 403 is provided at the bend at the bottom end of the support plate 401. The two buckle rings 402 are symmetrically fixed at the upper end of the support plate 401 along the vertical center plane of the support plate 401.

[0047] The V-shaped support plate 401 provides dual support on both sides of the buckle 402, making it more stable for the buckle 402 to buckle the steaming plate 1. The support plate 401 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which can reduce the space occupied by the lower end of the support leg 4 and reduce obstacles (such as placing boiled eggs in the electric steamer); and can provide sufficient stable support for the buckle 402. In addition, the support leg 4 is designed in a V shape, and the opposite side of the support plate 401 is hollowed out, which can also reduce the weight of the support leg 4, thereby reducing the weight of the entire device, making it lighter to use.

[0048] When stacking is required, the buckle groove 403 at the lower end of the support plate 401 of the leg 4 of the upper water-proof cover is buckled on the connecting wire on the steaming plate 1 of the lower water-proof cover, thereby completing the stacking of the water-proof covers.

[0049] In this solution, the water-proof cover has different models, and the steaming tray 1 of different models has different sizes; and the legs 4 on the same model of water-proof cover, that is, the steaming tray 1 of the same size, also have different height types, so as to accommodate different types of food and improve the utilization rate of the use space.

[0050] In this solution, the shape of the steaming plate 1 is not only disc-shaped, but also rectangular (rectangular, square). The rectangular steaming plate 1 has at least four legs 4 evenly distributed around the steaming plate 1. At this time, the shape of the hourglass cover 6 also changes accordingly, and the upper and lower ports of the hourglass cover 6 are deformed into a rectangle that matches the rectangular steaming plate 1. In order to facilitate the placement of the hourglass cover 6, all the legs 4 on the same side of the steaming plate 1 need to be rotated or screwed.

[0051] In this solution, since the hourglass cover 6 is removable, the hourglass cover 6 can be placed according to actual needs; it can be removed when not needed, reducing the subsequent cleaning process.
