Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular relates to a supporting component and an electric rice cooker. Background Art

[0002] An electric rice cooker is a kitchen appliance that can perform a variety of cooking operations such as steaming, boiling, stewing, simmering, and braising. It can not only cook food but also keep it warm.

[0003] The working environment of the rice cooker needs to be placed on a plane as horizontal as possible to fully heat the food. In order to prevent the operator from being scalded by hot air and steam when the rice cooker is working, the stability of the rice cooker should be ensured. Therefore, the existing rice cookers need to undergo a tilt test before leaving the factory. The specific process is: first prepare a flat inclined plane, and the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal direction is 25°; then place the rice cooker to be tested on the inclined plane. If the rice cooker does not slide down the inclined plane, it means that the rice cooker has passed the tilt test. If the rice cooker slides down the inclined plane, it means that the rice cooker has failed the tilt test.

[0004] In order to pass the tilt test, the existing electric rice cooker is usually provided with a foot under the bottom cover of the electric rice cooker, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electric rice cooker includes six feet, and the feet have two structures, namely Figure 1 In 2a and 2b, two feet with different structures are arranged alternately along the central axis of the rice cooker. A total of six feet are needed to pass the tilt test. However, many users report that this arrangement is not aesthetically pleasing. If the number of feet is simply reduced, the tilt test cannot be passed. Utility Model Content
