[0035] Example 1

[0036] In order to solve the problem in the related art that the inner pot of the rice cooker is limited by the structure and can only be used in conjunction with a vertically arranged steamer, and the water vapor in the inner pot of the rice cooker will return to the pot after condensation, resulting in a problem that the use of food is affected.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 3 , a rice cooker liner, used in a rice cooker 400, comprising: an liner body 100 and a limiting assembly 200. The liner body 100 is used to heat a steamer 300 or to perform steaming. The limiting assembly 200 is arranged at the edge of the liner body 100, and the limiting assembly 200 is away from the bottom of the liner body 100. The limiting assembly 200 comprises a limiting element, a recessed portion is provided on the limiting element, a first limiting area 220 is formed on a side of the recessed portion facing the liner body 100, and the bottom of the steamer 300 can abut against the first limiting area 220. A second limiting area 230 is formed on a side of the recessed portion away from the liner body 100, and the cover 500 of the liner body 100 can abut against the second limiting area 230.

[0038] Specifically, when using the rice cooker inner pot of this embodiment, the steamer 300 is directly placed in the first limiting area 220 of the inner pot body 100, and the steamer 300 is stably and reliably supported by the inner pot body 100. In this way, the inner pot body 100 can heat the steamer 300 and the food in the steamer 300.

[0039] In the related art, the vertically arranged steamer 300 is placed on the inner liner body 100 in this embodiment, and the main body of the steamer 300 is not restricted by the inner liner body 100, that is, the steamer 300 can be set to any shape according to actual needs, so as to facilitate the use of the user. For example, in this embodiment, the steamer 300 is set to have a larger upper opening and a smaller bottom area, so that it is more convenient for the user to take food into and out of the steamer 300.

[0040] When the rice cooker liner of the present embodiment is used for steaming without the steamer 300, the cover 500 can be directly buckled onto the liner body 100, and the second limiting area 230 of the liner body 100 can stably and reliably support the cover 500.

[0041] In the related art, after the cover 500 is buckled onto the liner body 100, the water vapor in the liner body 100 condenses when encountering the cover 500, and the condensed water will slide back into the liner body 100 along the cover 500. The edge of the cover 500 of this embodiment corresponds to the recessed portion of the limit assembly 200, that is, when the liner body 100 is in use, the generated water vapor condenses when encountering the cover 500, and flows to the edge of the cover 500 and falls into the recessed area 210, preventing the condensed water on the cover 500 from returning to the liner body 100 and affecting the food in the liner body 100, thereby improving the practicality of this embodiment.

[0042] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting area 220 includes a first supporting portion 221, and a first supporting portion 310 is provided at the bottom of the steamer 300, and the first supporting portion 310 can abut against the first supporting portion 221. Through the cooperation between the first supporting portion 310 and the first supporting portion 221, the liner body 100 can reliably support the steamer 300, ensuring that the steamer 300 can work normally.

[0043] It should be noted that, by cooperating with the first supporting portion 221 and the first supporting portion 310, the inner liner body 100 supports the steamer 300. In this way, during production and processing, the position where the inner liner body 100 and the steamer 300 contact each other can adopt a material with higher structural strength and greater wear resistance to prevent relative wear between the inner liner body 100 and the steamer 300, thereby improving the reliability and service life of this embodiment.

[0044] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting area 220 also includes a first guide portion 222, which is arranged on a side of the first support portion 221 close to the bottom of the liner body 100; the bottom of the steamer 300 is provided with a protrusion 320, and the protrusion 320 can slide along the first guide portion 222. When placing the steamer 300 on the liner body 100, it is only necessary to roughly align the steamer 300 with the liner body 100, and then move the steamer 300 to make it contact with the liner body 100, and the protrusion 320 of the steamer 300 can cooperate with the first guide portion 222 of the liner body 100, slide along the first guide portion 222, and make the steamer 300 and the liner body 100 move relative to each other to a suitable position. The protrusion 320 and the first guide portion 222 improve the convenience of this embodiment, making the use process of this embodiment more convenient.

[0045] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the second limiting area 230 includes a stopper 231, and the cover 500 includes a second supporting portion, the second supporting portion can abut against the first supporting portion 221, and the edge of the cover 500 can abut against the stopper 231. In this way, when placing the cover 500 on the liner body 100, it is also only necessary to align the cover 500 roughly with the liner body 100 and then directly place it. The first supporting portion 221 supports the second supporting portion to ensure that the cover 500 can be stably and reliably placed in a suitable position, and the stopper 231 can limit the position of the cover 500 to avoid the relative position of the cover 500 and the liner body 100 from being offset, thereby improving the stability and reliability of this embodiment.

[0046] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the cover 500 is set to a conical surface, and the edge of the conical surface is provided with a rounded corner. First, as a common kitchen utensil, this embodiment needs to be in frequent contact with the user, and the cover 500 is provided with a rounded corner to ensure the softness of the cover 500 and prevent the cover 500 from causing harm to the user. Secondly, the cover 500 is set to a conical surface, which can enable the water vapor in the liner body 100 to condense on the cover 500 after floating to contact with the cover 500 during the use of the cover 500, and the condensed water generated after the condensation can flow along the conical surface and flow to the edge of the cover 500, that is, on the rounded corner of the cover 500. Furthermore, rounded corners are provided at the edges of the cover body 500. On the one hand, after the condensed water flows to the cover body 500, it can continue to flow along the rounded corners to the limiting assembly 200 to drain the condensed water and prevent the condensed water from flowing back into the inner liner body 100 and affecting the food. On the other hand, rounded corners are provided at the edges of the cover body 500 to ensure that the cover body 500 and the inner liner body 100 are reliably matched and the relative sealing inside the inner liner body 100 is ensured, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect of the inner liner body 100 of this embodiment and further making this embodiment easy to use.

[0047] It should be noted that the cover 500 is provided with an air outlet connected to the outside world. When the cover 500 is placed on the liner body 100, part of the water vapor in the liner body 100 will escape to the outside world from the air outlet, and the remaining part of the water vapor will contact the cover 500 and condense, so that the condensed water flows along the cover 500 into the water storage tank. In this way, when the edge of the cover 500 is relatively sealed with the liner body 100, the liner body 100 of this embodiment can also be connected to the outside world through the air outlet, and there will be no safety hazards due to the increase of the internal air pressure of the liner body 100 caused by heating, which further makes the structure of this embodiment more reasonable and improves the practicality and safety of this embodiment.

[0048] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, when the cover 500 abuts against the second limiting area 230, the fillet overlaps with the recessed portion in the horizontal direction. In this way, the condensed water flowing along the cover 500 to the fillet will continue to flow along the fillet and drip down at the edge of the fillet. The fillet overlaps with the recessed portion in the horizontal direction, that is, after dripping, the condensed water will fall into the recessed portion, and the condensed water will be collected by the recessed portion to prevent the condensed water from flowing back into the inner tank body 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the concave portion is provided with a water storage tank, the height of the water storage tank in the vertical direction is H1, the height of the first limiting area 220 in the vertical direction is H2, and the height of the second limiting area 230 in the vertical direction is H3, satisfying: H1<H2≤H3. The two sides of the water storage tank are the first limiting area 220 and the second limiting area 230, respectively. The heights of the first limiting area 220 and the second limiting area 230 in the vertical direction are both higher than the water storage tank, that is, the condensed water falling into the water storage tank will not flow back to the inner liner body 100 across the first limiting area 220 or the second limiting area 230, thereby ensuring the taste of the food inside the inner liner body 100 and improving the practicality of this embodiment.

[0050] In some embodiments, illustratively, the height of the first limiting area 220 in the vertical direction is lower than that of the second limiting area 230. In this way, after the cover 500 abuts against the first limiting area 220, the edge of the cover 500 will not be higher than the second limiting area 230, that is, the edge of the cover 500 can abut against the stopper 231 of the second limiting area 230. When the condensed water on the cover 500 drips along the rounded corner, it will not splash to the outside of the second limiting area 230. The second limiting area 230 shields the dripping area and the water storage tank of the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from directly contacting the user, thereby improving the safety of this embodiment and making this embodiment easy to use.

[0051] Furthermore, when the present embodiment is used for a long time and the water tank is not cleaned regularly, a certain amount of liquid accumulates in the water tank. Since the second limiting area 230 is higher than the first limiting area 220, even if the liquid in the water tank overflows, it will not overflow from the second limiting area 230, thereby preventing the high-temperature liquid from coming into contact with the user and preventing the user from being burned by the high-temperature liquid, further improving the safety of the present embodiment and making the present embodiment easy to use.

[0052] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a guide surface is provided between the water storage tank and the first limiting area 220 and the second limiting area 230, and the guide surface is inclined. In order to make this embodiment easy to use, the diameter of the limiting component 200 of the inner tank body 100 is larger than the diameter of the cover body 500, that is, after the cover body 500 is placed on the inner tank body 100, there may be shaking between the inner tank body 100, and a short displacement may occur between the cover body 500 and the inner tank body 100. The condensed water dripping from the cover body 500 may drip onto the guide surface close to the first limiting area 220 and the second limiting area 230. The inclined guide surface can make the condensed water that may drip onto the guide surface slide into the water storage tank. It is prevented that the condensed water falls back into the inner tank body 100 after the displacement of the cover body 500 and the inner tank body 100, further improving the water collection capacity of the water storage tank of this embodiment and improving the practicality of this embodiment.

[0053] In some embodiments, for example, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the steamer 300 is set to an inverted cone shape, the area of ​​the bottom surface of the steamer 300 is S1, and the area of ​​the end of the steamer 300 away from the bottom surface is S2, which satisfies: S1<S2. The steamer 300 is set to an inverted cone shape, that is, the opening is larger, which is convenient for the user to place or take out food in the steamer 300, and also increases the space in the steamer 300, making the steamer 300 easy to use.
