Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric steamers, and in particular relates to a guide water seal structure. Background Art

[0002] Electric steamer is also called electric steamer. Electric steamer is a kind of kitchen appliance developed on the basis of traditional wooden steamer, aluminum steamer, bamboo steamer, etc., which uses electric steam principle to directly steam various delicacies. Some electric steamers with zoned cooking have multiple independent steaming spaces inside. It is necessary to transport the steam generated in the steam chamber of the bottom water tank to each steaming space through a pipe to steam different foods separately to prevent the food from odor. However, due to the large distance between each steaming space and the steam chamber of the water tank, multiple pipes are generally used to connect and splice into a longer delivery pipe. However, the splicing method is easy to produce gaps at the joints between adjacent pipes, causing steam to easily overflow from the gaps, resulting in a reduction in the amount of steam transported to the corresponding steaming space, making it difficult to quickly steam the food. Some existing practices are to use sealing rings to seal the joints of two adjacent pipes, but this method requires consumables, is not environmentally friendly, and the sealing ring will fall off particles after aging after long-term use, which is easy to contaminate food and affect human health. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0004] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a guide water seal structure to solve the technical problems that the existing steam conveying channels of the electric steamer for zoned cooking have poor sealing performance, which easily causes steam to overflow from the gaps, resulting in a reduction in the amount of steam, making it difficult to quickly steam the food in the corresponding cooking space, affecting the steaming efficiency, and using a sealing ring to seal the joints of two adjacent pipes constituting the steam conveying channel of the electric steamer, and the particles falling off the sealing ring after aging after long-term use easily contaminate food and affect human health.

[0005] (II) Technical solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions provided by this application are as follows:

[0007] A guide water seal structure comprises: a first channel with an exhaust port formed at the upper end, a collecting chamber formed by condensed water formed after steam liquefaction and concave downward around the exhaust port, and a second channel with a lower end sleeved on the outside of the exhaust port and a gap formed between the lower end and the outer wall of the exhaust port for condensed water to flow through and into the collecting chamber;

[0008] The present application optimizes the opening structure of the first channel. When the steam flows upward along the first channel and the second channel and contacts the inner wall of the second channel, the temperature drops to form condensed water. Then the condensed water flows downward to enter the collecting chamber, thereby sealing the gap between the first channel and the second channel to prevent steam from overflowing and ensure the cooking speed. Compared with using sealing rings and other materials to seal the gap between the first channel and the second channel, using condensed water for sealing does not require material consumption, is more environmentally friendly, and can prevent particles that fall off after aging of the sealing ring from contaminating food.

[0009] In some embodiments, the side wall of the exhaust port is inclined toward the collecting chamber to form a guide slope for guiding the condensed water into the collecting chamber;

[0010] The shape of the exhaust port is optimized so that condensed water can quickly and massively enter the collecting chamber along the guide slope to achieve a quick and good sealing effect.

[0011] In some embodiments, a gap communicating with the atmosphere is formed at a position where the upper end of the first channel and the lower end of the second channel are connected;

[0012] By opening a gap at the joint of two adjacent channels, the air pressure in the collection chamber can be made the same as the air pressure in the electric steamer, thereby preventing condensed water from quickly entering the collection chamber due to the high internal air pressure caused by the sealed structure of the collection chamber.

[0025] Specifically, two independent first steaming spaces and second steaming spaces are formed inside the electric steamer of the present application. During the steaming process, different types of food are placed in the first steaming space and the second steaming space respectively. The water tank steam chamber 1 heats the water inside, and a part of the generated steam passes through the corresponding first channel 202-second channel 501-second vent 502 to enter the first steaming space to steam the food, and another part of the steam passes through the corresponding first channel 202-second channel 501-steam channel 8-third vent 801 to enter the second steaming space to steam the food.

[0026] Specifically, a heating component 6 is provided at the bottom of the water tank steam chamber 1. Water needs to be added into the water tank steam chamber 1 before steaming. The heating component 6 is started to heat the water in the water tank steam chamber 1 to form water vapor.

[0027] Specifically, when the steam flows upward along the first channel 202 and the second channel 501 and contacts the inner wall of the second channel 501 , it will cool down to form condensed water, and then the condensed water will flow downward into the collection chamber 204 . The condensed water can seal the gap between the first channel 202 and the second channel 501 .

[0028] See also Figure 4-Figure 7 Preferably, the present application tilts the side wall of the exhaust port 203 toward the collecting chamber 204 to form a guide slope 205 that guides the condensed water into the collecting chamber 204. The guide slope 205 can allow the condensed water to quickly and in large quantities enter the collecting chamber 204 to achieve a fast and good sealing effect.

[0029] Furthermore, a gap connected to the atmosphere is formed at the docking position between the upper end of the first channel 202 and the lower end of the second channel 501, so that the air pressure in the collection chamber 204 can be the same as the air pressure in the electric steamer, thereby preventing condensed water from quickly entering the collection chamber 204 due to the high air pressure inside the collection chamber 204 being a sealed structure.
