DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments in the implementation manner are intended to be used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] References in this specification to "one embodiment" or "an example" or "an example" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment itself may be included in at least one embodiment of the present patent disclosure. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a steamer, comprising a pot body 1 and a cooking component 2 installed on the pot body 1, the cooking component 2 is used to place food, the pot body 1 comprises a steam generating chamber 11, a heating chamber 12 and a heating component for heating the heating chamber 12 and the steam generating chamber 11, the steam generating chamber 11 is provided with at least one steam outlet 111 connected to the heating chamber 12, and the heating chamber 12 is connected to the cooking component 2; a flow guide 14 corresponding to the position of the steam generating chamber 11 is arranged in the heating chamber 12, the flow guide 14 comprises a flow blocking portion 141 extending obliquely in a direction away from the cooking component 2, and the steam outlet 111 is arranged toward the flow blocking portion 141.

[0030] In this embodiment, a steamer is provided, which includes a pot body 1 and a steaming part 2 installed on the pot body 1, and the steaming part 2 is used to place food to be steamed. The pot body 1 includes a heating chamber 12 and a steam generating chamber 11 for generating steam, and the steam generating chamber 11 is used to heat water or other liquids to boiling and generate steam. The steam generating chamber 11 is connected to the heating chamber 12 through at least one steam outlet 111, and the steam in the steam generating chamber 11 enters the heating chamber 12 from the steam outlet 111. The heating chamber 12 is used to further heat the steam, and the food placed on the steaming part 2 can directly contact the high-temperature steam rising from the heating chamber 12. A guide 14 is also provided in the heating chamber 12. The guide 14 has a baffle extending obliquely in a direction away from the steaming element 2. The steam outlet 111 is arranged toward the baffle 141, that is, the water vapor ejected from the steam outlet 111 will directly spray toward the baffle 141, and the water vapor moves along the baffle 141 in a direction away from the steaming element 2. The baffle 141 preferentially guides the steam to a position away from the steaming element 2, thereby extending the steam travel path. The steam can have a more sufficient heat exchange with the heating chamber 12, thereby increasing the temperature of the steam and the heat it carries. Subsequently, the high-temperature steam turns upward to enter the steaming element 2, and brings more heat to the food on the steaming element 2, which is conducive to thoroughly cooking the food and improving the cooking effect. In addition, in the process of the steam turning upward after the downward impact, it will be more evenly distributed in the steaming element 2, reducing the local accumulation and dead corners of the steam, so that the food is heated more evenly.

[0031] In addition, the boiling point of water is related to the air pressure of the surrounding environment. When the air pressure is standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is 100°C. When the air pressure is less than the standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point is less than 100°C, that is, at low air pressure, water will boil and become gaseous at less than 100°C and the temperature cannot be increased any further. The pressure in the steam generating chamber 11 is set to be greater than the pressure of the heating chamber 12 and the external environment of the pot body 1, which can increase the boiling point of the liquid in the steam generating chamber 11 and the temperature of the generated steam is also higher. After further heating of the steam by the heating chamber 12, the steam that is in direct contact with the food in the steaming and cooking element 2 finally has a higher temperature (preferably greater than or equal to 100°C) that can cook the food, and the cooking effect is good. It should be noted that, since a heating chamber 12 is provided in the pot body 1, the temperature of the water vapor in the pot body 1 is higher than the temperature of the water vapor in the steam-cooking part 2, and there is a certain amount of heat loss in the flow of water vapor. Therefore, the temperature of the water vapor in the steam-cooking part 2 is relatively low. When the guide member 14 is provided, the water vapor will not quickly enter the steam-cooking part 2 from the heating chamber 12, but will be fully heated in the heating chamber 12, so that the temperature of the water vapor rising to the steam-cooking part 2 is relatively high, which is convenient for cooking food.

[0032] In this embodiment, the steam generating chamber 11 is connected with the heating chamber 12 through the steam outlet 111, that is, the steam generating chamber 11 is a semi-enclosed space. By reducing the diameter of the steam outlet 111 and increasing the power of the heating element so that the steam generation speed (i.e., the evaporation amount) is greater than the speed at which the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 111, the steam pressure in the steam generating chamber 11 will continue to increase, so that the pressure in the steam generating chamber 11 is greater than the pressure in the heating chamber 12. Alternatively, only the diameter of the steam outlet 111 can be reduced or the power of the heating element can be increased, as long as the steam generation speed can be greater than the speed at which the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 111. Specifically, the way to reduce the diameter of the steam outlet 111 can be to set a filler in the outlet 111; or when making the steamer, the steam outlet 111 is constructed with a smaller diameter and the diameter size of the outlet 111 is determined through multiple tests, so that the steam generation speed in the steam generating chamber 11 is greater than the speed at which the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 111 after the heating element is started.

[0033] The steam generating chamber 11 is provided with a plurality of steam outlets 111 along its circumference, and the baffle 141 is disposed around the steam generating chamber 11 .

[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of steam outlets 111 are distributed along the circumference of the steam generating chamber 11, so that the steam can enter the heating chamber 12 from different angles and directions, thereby avoiding excessive concentration of steam in a specific area, and improving the uniformity of the distribution of steam in the entire heating chamber 12. At the same time, due to the large number of steam outlets 111, the escape speed of the steam will also be more stable, reducing the turbulence and impact of the steam during the escape process. And the baffle 141 surrounds the steam generating chamber 11, so it can guide the water vapor ejected from the steam outlet 111 in all directions, so that the steam is fully heated in the heating chamber. In other embodiments, the steam outlet 111 can also be set only in a partial area of ​​the steam generating chamber 11, in which case the baffle should also correspond to the position of the steam outlet 111, that is, at least be set near the steam outlet 111.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the steam generating chamber 11 has an opening 112 at one end facing the steam cooking element 2 , and the flow guiding element 14 includes a sealing portion 142 covering the opening 112 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the sealing portion 142 is used to close the opening 112, which significantly improves the sealing performance of the steam generating chamber 11, so that the steam generated in the steam generating chamber 11 can only leave from the steam outlet 111 and enter the heating chamber 12, preventing the steam from directly entering the cooking element 2 without passing through the heating chamber 12, thereby effectively controlling the flow path of the steam.

[0037] The flow guide 14 further includes a flange portion 143 disposed below the sealing portion 142 , and the flange portion 143 extends into the opening 112 .

[0038] In the present embodiment, the flange portion 143 is configured in an annular shape, and the annular flange portion 143 is embedded in the opening 112 to close the opening 112 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the guide member 14 is a straight structure. In other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer edge of the air guide 14 may also be configured as an upwardly bent flange.

[0040] A heat source is arranged at the bottom of the pot body 1 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the pot body 1 can be directly placed on an external heat source such as a gas or electromagnetic cooker for heating. In other embodiments, a heat source can also be set at the bottom of the pot body, and the heat source is a heating element that matches the bottom of the pot body 1, and the heating element matches the bottom of the pot body 1, and the heating element corresponds to the position of the heating chamber 12 and the steam generating chamber 11. Specifically, the heating element is closely matched with the bottom of the pot body 1 to directly transfer heat to the bottom of the pot body 1. The working mode of the heating element can also be a non-contact heating form such as electromagnetic heating, that is, the heating element is not fitted with the pot body 1. The heating element is set at a position corresponding to the heating chamber 12 and the steam generating chamber 11 on the bottom of the pot body 1, and the heating chamber 12 area and the steam generating chamber 11 area are accurately and efficiently heated, and the heat transfer is more uniform and efficient, reducing energy waste. When the bottom of the pot body 1 only includes the heating chamber 12 area and the steam generating chamber 11 area, the heating element can fit the entire bottom of the pot. When the heating chamber 12 and the steam generating chamber 11 can also only occupy part of the bottom of the pot, the heating element can be only set below the heating chamber 12 and the steam generating chamber 11.

[0042] In addition, the steamer can also include a base detachably connected to the bottom of the pot body 1, a heating element is arranged at one end of the base facing the pot body, and a control circuit for controlling the heating element is arranged in the base. The base is used to support the pot body 1 and the base integrates components such as the heating element and the control circuit. The heating element is arranged at one end of the base facing the pot body 1, and when the base is connected to the pot body 1, the heating element can directly contact the bottom of the pot body 1, reducing energy loss and improving cooking efficiency. The control circuit can control the working state of the heating element, such as automatically adjusting the power and working time of the heating element according to the cooking program or temperature requirements set by the user, simplifying the user's operation and improving the accuracy and repeatability of cooking. The base is detachably connected to the pot body 1, so that the base and the pot body 1 can be cleaned and maintained independently. Of course, the base and the pot body 1 can also be combined in an inseparable manner to improve the stability of the steamer. The heating element can be constructed as a heating plate with a heating plane, the bottom of the pot body 1 is constructed as a plane, and the bottom of the pot body 1 is in contact with the heating plane of the heating element. When the heating plate is powered on, its heating surface will heat up rapidly and transfer heat to the liquid in the steam generating chamber 11 and the heating chamber 12. As the liquid is heated, steam begins to be generated, and through the synergistic effect of the steam generating chamber 11 and the heating chamber 12, the steam eventually enters the steaming part 2 and contacts the food, thus completing the cooking process. In addition, the heating plate is made of a metal material with a physical non-stick function (e.g., a plurality of micropores are formed on the heating surface), so after removing the pot body 1, the heating plate can also be used as a frying pan for making pancakes, frying eggs, etc., which increases the functionality and practicality of the steamer.

[0043] The side wall of the steaming and cooking part 2 extends in a direction away from the pot body 1 to form a cooking cavity 21 with a rim portion 22 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the cooking part 2 is configured as a cage-shaped structure, the bottom wall of the cooking part 2 is configured as a circle, and its side walls extend in a direction away from the pot body 1 to enclose a cooking cavity 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the cooking part 2 can also be configured as a disc-shaped, multi-layer rack, etc.

[0045] The steamer comprises a pot cover 3 , the bottom wall of the steaming and cooking component 2 is placed on the mouth of the pot body 1 , and the pot cover 3 is engaged with the edge 22 of the steaming and cooking component 2 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the steaming and cooking component 2 is placed on the mouth of the pot body 1, and the steaming and cooking component 2 is located above the pot body 1, so that the user can easily remove the steaming and cooking component 2 and the food in the steaming and cooking component 2. The pot cover 3 is connected to the edge 22 of the steaming and cooking component 2 to seal the cooking cavity 21 of the steaming and cooking component 2 and the pot body 1. In other embodiments, the steaming and cooking component 2 can also be set in the pot body 1. In addition, after removing the steaming and cooking component 2, the inner cavity of the pot body 1 can also be used as a cooking utensil such as a hot pot to cook food.

[0047] The bottom wall of the steaming and cooking part 2 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, so that steam can enter the steaming and cooking part 2 through the ventilation holes to steam the food.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the pot body 1 includes a water tank 13 arranged on the bottom wall of the pot body 1 , a steam generating chamber 11 is formed inside the water tank 13 , and a heating chamber 12 is formed outside the water tank 13 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the water tank 13 divides the pot body 1 into a heating chamber 12 and a steam generating chamber 11, which optimizes the steam generation process and improves the efficiency and effect of cooking. The water tank 13 is arranged on the bottom wall of the pot body 1. When the water in the water tank 13 is heated, the water will quickly heat up and be converted into steam, realizing efficient steaming and cooking.

[0050] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the steamer further comprises a pipe 4 installed on the side wall of the pot body 1 , one end of the pipe 4 is located outside the pot body 1 , and the other end passes through the heating chamber 12 and extends into the steam generating chamber 11 .

[0051] When the size of the steamer is large, it is inconvenient to remove the pot cover 3 to add water into the pot body 1, and the pipe 4 can be used to inject water into the steam generating chamber 11 without opening the pot body 1. A cover can also be provided at one end of the pipe 4 outside the pot body 1 to prevent steam from escaping from the pipe 4. The pipe 4 can be made of a transparent high-temperature resistant material to facilitate observation of the water level change in the steam generating chamber 11, or other materials such as metal can be used.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, in other embodiments, the pipeline 4 may also be connected only to the steam generating chamber 11 without passing through the heating chamber 12 .

[0053] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims.
