Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a sealing structure, in particular to a container sealing structure and an egg boiler. Background Art
[0002] Many containers used in high-temperature steam require sealing in order to maintain the temperature inside the container and the relative pressure of the steam, such as some small kitchen appliances. However, for cost and process considerations, ordinary small household kitchen appliances do not have a reliable sealing structure, resulting in high-temperature steam leaking from the lid and the container body during use, which greatly prolongs the food processing time.
[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Utility Model Content
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model discloses a container sealing structure and an egg boiler.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A container sealing structure, the container comprises: a container body, a side wall of which is provided with a concave mounting position; a storage structure, installed in the container body, comprising: a storage tray; a hanging structure, connected to the storage tray and detachably hung on the mounting position; a sealing structure comprising: a first part, arranged at the mounting position; a second part, arranged at the hanging structure; wherein: the second part is embedded with the first part, so that the hanging structure is tightly fitted with the contact part of the mounting position.
[0007] A further technical solution is that the first part includes a first groove arranged in the installation position and along the side wall of the container body; the second part includes a first protrusion arranged on the lower surface of the suspension structure; when the suspension structure is installed in the installation position, the first protrusion is embedded in the first groove.
[0008] Its further technical solution is that the first part includes a second protrusion, which is arranged at the end of the first groove and protrudes toward the middle of the first groove; the second part includes a second groove, which is arranged on the side of the suspension structure and recessed toward the middle of the suspension structure; when the suspension structure is installed in the installation position, the second protrusion is embedded in the second groove.
[0009] A further technical solution is that the hanging structure extends out from the side wall of the container body in the installation position.
[0010] A further technical solution is that the container further comprises an upper cover, the upper cover is covered on the container body, and the upper cover presses the suspension structure so that the suspension structure and the contact part of the installation position are tightly fitted.
[0011] A further technical solution is that a first plane is provided on the edge of the side wall of the container body, and a second plane is provided on the suspension structure. When the suspension structure is installed at the installation position, the first plane and the second plane are combined into an annular plane, and the edge of the upper cover presses the annular plane.
[0012] A further technical solution is that a first blocking position is provided on one side edge of the first plane, and a second blocking position is provided on the second plane. When the suspension structure is installed at the installation position, the first blocking position and the second blocking position are assembled into an annular blocking structure surrounding the edge of the upper cover.
[0013] An egg boiler comprises a container sealing structure as described above, wherein the container body is a cooking pot; the storage structure is an egg-boiling rack; the egg-boiling rack is hung on the cooking pot through a hanging structure, so that the contact position of the storage rack and the container body is tightly fitted through the sealing structure.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the utility model are as follows:
[0015] In the embodiment of the utility model, a sealing structure is provided between the container body and the storage structure, and the sealing structure includes a first part and a second part, which can be interlocked with each other so that the hanging structure and the contact part of the installation position are closely fitted. When the container is used as a kitchen utensil, during the heating process of the container, the heat will not be lost, thereby increasing the heating temperature.
[0016] In particular, the first part includes a first groove arranged in the installation position and along the curvature direction of the side wall of the container body, and the second part includes a first protrusion arranged on the lower surface of the suspension structure. When the suspension structure is installed in the installation position, the first protrusion is embedded in the first groove to seal the container body and the storage structure.
[0017] When the embodiment of the utility model is an egg boiler or other similar small kitchen appliances that use steam to cook food, when the container is in use, water vapor will adhere to the small gap between the first groove and the first protrusion, and the first protrusion will be pressed in the first groove, so that the water vapor fills the small gap, and the gap through which steam can leak is blocked by the tension of water. Even if the storage structure and the container body are detachable, it does not affect the effectiveness of the seal, and the problem of easy steam leakage is solved at a low cost.
[0018] Furthermore, in addition to the bottom being sealed, the side of the suspension structure can be sealed by the second groove and the second protrusion, and the upper cover can be pressed downward by its own gravity to increase the sealing effect. Due to the bottom sealing and side sealing, plus the sealing effect formed by the upper cover under the influence of its own gravity pressure, the entire structure becomes a low-cost but good sealing structure.

[0029] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the sealing structure of the container in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the container includes a container body 1 and a storage structure 2 installed in the container body 1. The storage structure 2 is placed in the container body 1. When in use, the container body 1 and the storage structure 2 can be used to hold different items. A sealing structure 3 is provided at the contact position between the container body 1 and the storage structure 2 to ensure that the container body 1 and the storage structure 2 are sealed when in use. In this way, when the container is used as a kitchen utensil, heat will not be lost during the heating process of the material in the container, thereby increasing the heating temperature and the heating efficiency.
[0030] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the storage structure in the embodiment of the utility model in a disassembled state. Figure 2 As shown, a concave mounting position 11 is provided on the side wall of the container body 1. There is a pair of mounting positions 11, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the container body 1. The storage structure 2 includes a storage tray and a hanging structure 21. There is also a pair of hanging structures 21, which are respectively connected to both sides of the storage tray and are detachably hung on the mounting positions 11 to fix the storage structure 2 as a whole inside the container body 1.
[0031] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged view of part A is as follows: Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, the sealing structure 3 includes a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is arranged in the installation position 11, and the second part is arranged on the suspension structure 21. When the suspension structure 21 is suspended in the installation position 11, the first part and the second part are interlocked and combined into the sealing structure 3, so that the contact part of the suspension structure 21 and the installation position 11 fits tightly to play a sealing role. The combination of the storage structure 2 and the container body 1 does not affect the sealing of the entire container after installation.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the first part includes a first groove 31 disposed in the mounting position 11 and along the arc direction of the side wall of the container body 1, and the second part includes a first protrusion 32 disposed on the lower surface of the suspension structure 21. The shape, size and position of the first protrusion 32 are corresponding to the first groove 31. When the suspension structure 21 is suspended in the mounting position 11, the first protrusion 32 can be embedded in the first groove 31. The first groove 31 and the first protrusion 32 seal the mounting position between the container body 1 and the storage structure 2 from the top and bottom directions.
[0033] In order to achieve better sealing effect, further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first part also includes a second protrusion 33, which is arranged at the two ends of the first groove 31 and relatively protrudes toward the middle of the first groove 31, and the height of the second protrusion 33 is higher than the depth of the first groove 31. Correspondingly, the second part also includes a second groove 34, which is arranged at the two sides of the suspension structure 21 and is recessed toward the middle of the suspension structure 21, and the shape, position and size correspond to the second protrusion 33. When the suspension structure 21 is installed in the installation position 11, the second protrusion 33 is embedded in the second groove 34. The second protrusion 33 and the second groove 34 further seal the installation position between the container body 1 and the storage structure 2 from the left and right directions.
[0034] Figure 4 for Figure 2 Cross-sectional view of . Figure 5 for Figure 4 Magnified view of part B. Figure 2 to Figure 5After the first part and the second part of the sealing structure 3 are engaged, the assembly part of the storage structure 2 and the container body 1 can be ensured to be sealed. When the container is used as a kitchen utensil for heating, heat loss is reduced and the heating speed is accelerated. In particular, the first groove 31 is set in a concave shape, which can gather a small amount of water vapor that escapes when the container is heated. A small amount of steam water is bonded in the local small gap between the suspension structure 21 and the installation position 11. When the first protrusion 32 is engaged in the first groove 31, the first protrusion 32 is pressed in the first groove 31 with a small amount of steam water, filling the small gap between the first protrusion 32 and the first groove 31, and using the physical properties of water tension to block the small gap that can leak a small amount of water vapor, so that the sealing effect is better. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another angle of the storage structure in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 6 In the storage structure 2, the structure and relative positions of the first protrusion 32 and the second groove 34 can be seen.
[0035] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the upper cover covering the container body in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 7 As shown, the container further comprises an upper cover 4, which covers the container body 1 and presses the suspension structure 21, so that the suspension structure 21 is closely fitted with the contact part of the mounting position 11. The pressure generated by the weight of the upper cover 4 further enhances the sealing effect.
[0036] like Figure 2 to Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation and taking of the storage structure 2, the hanging structure 21 extends out of the side wall of the container body 1 in the installation position 11, that is, the hanging structure 21 has an extended end 22 for hand-holding or operation and taking.
[0037] Under the premise of having such a structure, in order to ensure that the lower container can be completely and well sealed when the upper cover 4 is closed, an arc-shaped first plane 13 surrounding the inner side wall of the container body 1 is provided on the side wall of the container body 1 at a position other than the installation position 11, and in coordination therewith, when the hanging structure 21 is installed at the installation position 11, the second plane 24 on the upper surface of the hanging structure 21 is combined with the first plane 13 to form a complete annular plane. When the upper cover 4 is covered on the container body 1, the lower edge of the upper cover 4 presses the second plane 24 and the first plane 13 to form an annular plane, so that even if the storage structure 2 is designed to be detachable and has an extended end 22 structure extending from the side wall of the container body 1, it does not affect the sealing state of the entire container at all.
[0038] like Figure 2 to Figure 5As shown, further, a first blocking position 12 in the vertical direction is arranged around the outer edge of the first plane 13, and a second blocking position 23 in the vertical direction is arranged between the second plane 24 and the protruding end 22. When the hanging structure 21 is installed at the installation position 11, the first blocking position 12 and the second blocking position 23 are combined into a complete annular blocking structure. When the upper cover 4 is covered on the container body 1, the annular blocking structure surrounds the outer edge of the upper cover 4, and plays a positioning role in the blind operation of the upper cover 4. In addition, when a large amount of water vapor is generated during the use of the kitchenware, the cooperation with the lower edge of the upper cover 4 can further play a sealing role, so that the sealing effect of the sealing structure 3 is further enhanced.
[0039] In some prior art, small kitchen appliances similar to egg cookers or those that cook food using similar principles require the use of high-temperature steam to cook food during use. However, this type of small kitchen appliances is a low-end product among kitchen appliance products. Considering cost and process, it is difficult to design a sealing structure that has both low cost and good sealing effect. This causes the egg cooker to easily leak high-temperature steam from the gap between the cover and the egg-cooking rack when cooking food, greatly prolonging the time used to cook food. In this embodiment, the container can be an egg cooker, and the storage structure 2 is an egg-cooking rack, which is installed in the egg cooker through a hanging structure 21. When in use, water is placed in the container body 1, eggs are placed in the storage structure 2, the storage structure 2 is installed in the installation position 11, and then the upper cover 4 is covered to achieve a reliable seal for the egg cooker. Even if the built-in storage structure 2 is provided with an exposed extension end 22 extending from the side wall of the container body 1 for easy operation and hand-holding, and the storage structure 2 is detachable, it does not affect the good and reliable sealing performance between the storage structure 2 and the container body 1 during use, and no air leakage occurs. It is easy to understand that other small steaming and cooking appliances similar to the egg boiler can also use the container sealing structure disclosed in this embodiment.
[0040] 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.
[0041] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
