The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 , which is the electric steamer 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, including the main body 10 of the pot, the locking structure 20 and the water tank 30.

[0037] Among them, please refer to Figures 1 to 4, the pot body main body 10 has an installation cavity 11; a locking structure 20 is arranged inside the pot body main body 10; a water tank 30 is detachably installed in the installation cavity 11 in the horizontal direction, and the water tank 30 is provided with a rib 31. When the water tank 30 is installed in the installation cavity 11, the rib 31 and the locking structure 20 cooperate to lock, and the projection plane of the water tank 30 in the horizontal plane along the vertical direction is located within the projection plane of the pot body main body 10 in the horizontal plane along the vertical direction.

[0038] For the above-mentioned electric steam cooker 100, by detaching and installing the water tank 30 in the horizontal direction relative to the pot body main body 10, after the water tank 30 is installed in the pot body main body 10, the projection plane of the water tank 30 in the horizontal plane along the vertical direction can be located within the projection plane of the pot body main body 10 in the horizontal plane along the vertical direction, that is, the water tank 30 can be covered by the pot body main body 10, avoiding the water tank 30 occupying a separate volume and reducing the occupied volume of the entire electric steam cooker 100 during storage.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 , when the water tank 30 of this embodiment is set, for the convenience of forming the water tank 30, the water tank 30 includes a box body 32 and a cover body 33, and the box body 32 and the cover body 33 are welded together. In this way, through the separately arranged box body 32 and cover body 33, different shapes of the water tank 30 can be set as needed, which is convenient for the box body 32 and the cover body 33 to be formed with different shapes respectively, increasing the diversity of the structure of the water tank 30.

[0040] Specifically, when welding the box body 32 and the cover body 33, the box body 32 is provided with a welding rib 321, and the cover body 33 is provided with a plug-in groove 331. The welding rib 321 is inserted into the plug-in groove 331. Thus, by setting the welding rib 321 and the plug-in groove 331, the connection area between the box body 32 and the cover body 33 is increased to ensure the stability after welding. In other embodiments, a welding groove can also be provided on the box body 32 and a welding rib on the cover body 33 to achieve the welding connection between the two.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, in order to facilitate pushing the water tank 30 into the pot body main body 10, the water tank 30 is provided with a guiding rib 34, and the pot body main body 10 is provided with a positioning rib 12. The positioning rib 12 is used to cooperate with the guiding rib 34. That is, through the setting of the guiding rib 34 and the positioning of the positioning rib 12, when the water tank 30 is installed on the pot body main body 10, it can move along a predetermined route, improving the installation efficiency of the water tank 30.

[0042] Specifically, the guiding ribs 34 and the clamping ribs 31 are located on opposite sides of the water tank 30. Thus, the guiding ribs 34 and the clamping ribs 31 can not only play their own guiding and clamping roles, but also enhance the structural strength of both sides of the water tank 30. At the same time, the guiding ribs 34 and the clamping ribs 31 are arranged on opposite sides of the water tank 30, and can be adapted to the structural shape of the pot body main body 10.

[0043] Among them, when the guiding ribs 34 in this embodiment are arranged, at least one set of guiding rib groups is provided on the water tank 30. Each set of guiding rib groups includes two relatively arranged guiding ribs 34. Along the installation direction of the water tank 30, the distance between the two guiding ribs 34 in each set remains constant first and then gradually increases. That is, the guiding ribs 34 have an inclined section 341 and a parallel section 342. An obtuse angle is formed between the inclined section 341 and the parallel section 342. The parallel section 342 is parallel to the movement direction when the box body 32 is installed or disassembled. The inclined section 341 is used for guiding during the installation of the water tank 30, and the parallel section 342 is used for clamping and cooperating with the positioning ribs 12 after the water tank 30 is installed in place.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, two sets of guiding rib groups are provided on the box body 32. The two sets of guiding rib groups are separated along the direction perpendicular to the disassembly and assembly movement direction of the water tank 30. Each set of guiding rib groups has a guiding effect on the water tank 30 during installation, avoiding the situation that the water tank 30 is skewed during installation.

[0045] It can be understood that, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , water needs to be injected into the water tank 30. The water tank 30 is provided with a water injection port 35. Specifically, the water injection port 35 is arranged on the cover body 33. The water injection port 35 and the clamping rib 31 are arranged on the same side of the water tank 30. The electric steam cooker 100 further includes a sealing plug 40. The sealing plug 40 is detachably installed on the water injection port 35. Therefore, when it is necessary to inject water into the water tank 30, the water injection port 35 can be opened through the sealing plug 40.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , after the water tank 30 in this embodiment is installed in the pot body main body 10, the surface of the water tank 30 is connected with the surface of the pot body main body 10, so that the surface structure of the entire electric steam cooker 100 can maintain unity.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figures 9 to 11, in an embodiment of the present utility model, when the pot body main body 10 locks or unlocks the water tank 30, the locking structure 20 includes a mounting frame 21, a sliding frame 22 and a first elastic member 23. The mounting frame 21 is connected to the pot body main body 10. Two ends of the first elastic member 23 respectively abut against the mounting frame 21 and the sliding frame 22. The sliding frame 22 is slidably arranged relative to the mounting frame 21 and the pot body main body 10 so as to be locked or unlocked with the rib 31. That is, when the water tank 30 needs to be installed on the pot body main body 10, it is pushed into the pot body main body 10. The rib 31 exerts a force on the sliding frame 22, and the sliding frame 22 presses the first elastic member 23. The sliding frame 22 slides relative to the pot body main body 10 to make a clearance, and at this time the water tank 30 can be installed into the pot body main body 10. After the water tank 30 is installed in place, the rib 31 also passes over the sliding frame 22. The sliding frame 22 moves downward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 23 and is clamped with the rib 31. When disassembling the water tank 30, two hands hold both sides of the water tank 30 in the direction perpendicular to the installation direction and pull the water tank 30 away from the pot body main body 10. The rib 31 exerts a force on the sliding frame 22 again, and the sliding frame 22 presses the first elastic member 23. When the rib 31 passes over the sliding frame 22, the water tank 30 can be removed at this time.

[0048] It can be understood that when disassembling the water tank 30, since two hands press on both sides of the water tank 30 and pull the water tank 10 horizontally, it can avoid the hands contacting the water vapor above the pot body main body 10 and avoid scalding the hands.

[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 9 、 Figure 10 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the pot body main body 10 of this embodiment. The pot body main body 10 includes an upper wall 13, a middle wall 14, a bottom wall 15 and a surrounding wall 16. The upper wall 13, the middle wall 14 and the bottom wall 15 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The surrounding wall 16 connects the upper wall 13, the middle wall 14 and the bottom wall 15. The bottom wall 15, the middle wall 14 and the surrounding wall 16 enclose to form an installation cavity 11, and the upper wall 13, the middle wall 14 and the surrounding wall 16 enclose to form a receiving space 17.

[0050] Among them, when setting the locking structure 20, the mounting frame 21 is installed on the middle wall 14 and is received in the receiving space 17. The sliding frame 22 is slidably arranged relative to the middle wall 14 and the mounting frame 21 respectively. Thus, the receiving space 17 can hide the sliding frame 22 and the mounting frame 21 so that the middle wall 14 can be attached to the water tank 30.

[0051] Specifically, the sliding frame 22 includes a sliding body 221, and mounting posts 222 and arc-shaped protrusions 223 provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding body 221. The sliding body 221 and the mounting posts 222 are received in the receiving space 17. The mounting posts 222 are for sleeving the first elastic member 23. The arc-shaped protrusions 223 are slidably arranged relative to the middle wall 14 to be locked or separated from the clamping member 31. Thus, the arrangement of the mounting posts 222 can guide the expansion and contraction of the first elastic member 23 to prevent the first elastic member 23 from being skewed. Through the cooperation of the arc-shaped protrusions 223 and the clamping member 31, the clamping ribs 31 slide on the surface of the arc-shaped protrusions 223 to telescopically press the sliding frame 22.

[0052] Further, the sliding frame 22 further includes a guide post 224. The guide post 224 is installed on the sliding body 221 and is slidably arranged relative to the mounting frame 21. By further providing the guide post 224, the up and down sliding of the sliding body 221 is guided to ensure that the sliding body 221 can move in a straight line direction.

[0053] Among them, two clamping ribs 31 are provided on the water tank 30 in this embodiment. The electric steamer 100 includes two locking structures 20. One locking structure 20 cooperates with one clamping rib 31 to lock. Thus, through the setting of two locking positions, the stable installation of the water tank 30 on the pot body main body 10 is ensured.

[0054] Among them, the clamping rib 31 in this embodiment is provided on the bottom wall 15.

[0055] Among them, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , after the water tank 30 is installed on the pot body main body 10, the water tank 30 needs to be docked with the pot body main body 10 to output the water in the water tank 30.

[0056] Specifically, the electric steamer 100 further includes a water pump assembly 50 and a docking assembly 60. The water pump assembly 50 is installed on the pot body main body 10. An installation port 36 is provided on the water tank 30. The docking assembly 60 is installed on the installation port 36. When the water tank 30 is installed on the pot body main body 10, the water pump assembly 50 and the docking assembly 60 are docked in the horizontal direction, so as to realize the conduction between the water pump assembly 50 and the water tank 30, and the water in the water tank 30 is pumped out through the water pump assembly 50.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the docking assembly 60 includes a back plate 61, a mounting bracket 62, a movable plug 63 and a second elastic member 64;

[0058] The mounting bracket 62 is installed in the water tank 30 and is provided with a communication port 621 communicating with the water tank 30;

[0059] The back plate 61 covers the installation opening 36, is provided with a docking port 611 for docking with the water pump assembly 50, and is connected to the mounting bracket 62;

[0060] The movable plug 63 and the second elastic member 64 are installed in the mounting bracket 62. The two ends of the second elastic member 64 respectively abut against the movable plug 63 and the mounting bracket 62. When the water tank 30 is installed in place, the water pump assembly 50 is inserted into the docking port 611 of the back plate 61 and pushes the movable plug 63. The movable plug 63 compresses the second elastic member 64, and the water pump assembly 50 is communicated with the communication port 621 on the mounting bracket 62. When the water pump assembly 50 is turned on, the water in the water tank 30 can be pumped out.

[0061] Further, in order to ensure the sealing of the water tank 30, the docking assembly 60 further includes a sealing ring 65. The sealing ring 65 is arranged in the docking port 611 and between the back plate 61 and the mounting bracket 62. Thus, when the water tank 30 is not docked with the water pump assembly 50, the movable plug 63 abuts against the sealing ring 65 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 64 to achieve the sealing of the water tank 30; when the water pump assembly 50 is docked with the water tank 30, the plug 51 in the water pump assembly 50 is inserted into the back plate 61 and the sealing ring 65, and the plug 51 contacts the sealing ring 65 to achieve the sealing effect.

[0062] It can be understood that when the electric steamer 100 is in use, a lid is also required. The lid covers the pot body main body 10 so that food can be placed in the closed space formed by the lid, thereby achieving the effect of high-temperature steaming.

[0063] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
