[0045] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, Embodiment 1 of the present utility model provides an installation component, which includes a cover plate 10 and a steam valve 20. An air outlet hole 11 is provided on the cover plate 10. The steam valve 20 is installed on the cover plate 10. A communication hole 211 communicated with the air outlet hole 11 and an air outlet 221 communicated with the communication hole 211 are provided on the steam valve 20. Among them, a counterbore 212 is provided on the steam valve 20, and the counterbore 212 is provided around at least part of the circumference of the communication hole 211; the air outlet hole 11 is disposed opposite to the counterbore 212.

[0047] By using the installation component provided in this embodiment, by disposing the air outlet hole 11 opposite to the counterbore 212, a situation where an uncleanable dead angle gap cannot be formed at the counterbore 212 is avoided, and thus there will be no situation where part of the stains concentrate in the dead angle gap after the steam is discharged through the air outlet hole 11. Therefore, it is convenient to clean or wash the cover plate 10. Therefore, through the installation component provided in this embodiment, the technical problem in the prior art that it is not convenient to clean the cover plate 10 can be solved.

[0048] Specifically, the steam valve 20 in this embodiment includes a lower cover 21 and an upper cover 22. The lower cover 21 is installed on the cover plate 10, and a communication hole 211 is provided on the lower cover 21. An air outlet 221 communicated with the air outlet hole 11 is provided on the upper cover 22. The upper cover 22 is movably disposed on the lower cover 21 to move to a closed position for closing the lower cover 21 or an open position for avoiding at least part of the lower cover 21, so as to facilitate cleaning the inside of the steam valve 20. Among them, a counterbore 212 is provided on the lower cover 21, and the counterbore 212 is provided around at least part of the circumference of the communication hole 211.

[0049] Specifically, the upper cover 22 in this embodiment is rotatably disposed on the lower cover 21 to facilitate opening or closing the steam valve 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, the outer shape of the air outlet 11 is adapted to the outer shape of the sunk platform 212, so that the air outlet 11 can completely match the outer shape of the sunk platform 212, so that the air outlet 11 can be opposite to the sunk platform 212, thereby avoiding the formation of dead corner gaps between the cover plate 10 and the sunk platform 212, and thus better avoiding the situation that it is not convenient to clean the steam valve 20.

[0051] Specifically, the outer peripheral edge of the air outlet 11 in this embodiment protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the sunk platform 212, that is, the outer peripheral element of the air outlet 11 is arranged to wrap the outer peripheral edge of the sunk platform 212, so as to better avoid the situation where the sunk platform 212 corresponds to the plate body of the cover plate 10, and thus avoid the situation that dead corner gaps appear between the cover plate 10 and the sunk platform 212 and it is not convenient to clean.

[0052] In this embodiment, a flanging 12 adapted to the outer peripheral edge of the air outlet 11 is provided at the outer peripheral edge of the air outlet 11. The flanging 12 is adapted to the peripheral edge of the sunk platform 212, and the flanging 12 is clamped at the peripheral edge of the sunk platform 212. With such a structural arrangement, it is convenient for installation, fixation and positioning, and at the same time, it is also convenient to better avoid the situation of dead corner gaps between the cover plate 10 and the sunk platform 212.

[0053] Specifically, the difference between the height by which the flanging 12 protrudes from the cover plate 10 and the sinking depth of the sunk platform 212 is T; wherein, -0.5 mm ≤ T ≤ 0.5 mm. With such a structural arrangement, it is convenient to ensure the tight fit between the flanging 12 and the sunk platform 212. It can not only avoid the situation that dead corner gaps are still likely to appear due to a large gap between the flanging 12 and the sunk platform 212, but also avoid the situation that the protruding top of the flanging 12 scratches the hand during cleaning or washing.

[0054] In this embodiment, the width of the air outlet 11 is D, and 7 mm < D < 15 mm. With such a structural arrangement, since the heat preservation cover plate 10 is likely to come into contact with food residues, soup, etc. during use, the opening of the air outlet 11 of the heat preservation cover plate 10 is enlarged. The above arrangement can facilitate avoiding the situation that it is not convenient to clean due to the too small opening of the air outlet 11, and can also avoid the situation that too much steam is lost due to the too large opening of the air outlet 11 and the cooking quality is affected.

[0055] Specifically, the steam valve 20 further includes a leak-proof gasket 23. At least part of the leak-proof gasket 23 is located between the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 21, and the air outlet 11 is arranged around at least part of the peripheral edge of the leak-proof gasket 23.

[0056] Specifically, the periphery of the air outlet 11 includes a first arc segment 111 and a second arc segment 112 that are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other. The diameter difference between the second arc segment 112 and the first arc segment 111 forms the width D of the air outlet 11, wherein 7mm<D<15mm. With such a structural arrangement, it is possible to further optimize the shape of the air outlet 11 and to better facilitate air outlet. In addition, it is possible to avoid the situation where the opening of the air outlet 11 is too small and inconvenient to clean, and it is possible to avoid the situation where the opening of the air outlet 11 is too large and causes excessive steam loss, thereby affecting the cooking quality. In addition, the structure of the arc segment is convenient for air outlet, avoiding dead corners and gaps that are inconvenient to clean, thereby facilitating cleaning by users.

[0057] Specifically, the steam valve 20 further includes an anti-leakage pad 23 , at least part of which is located between the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 21 , and the first arc segment 111 is located on a side of the second arc segment 112 close to the anti-leakage pad 23 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the minimum width of the connecting hole 211 is d, d>5mm. With such a configuration, it is easy to guide the steam out and avoid the situation where the steam outflow is greatly blocked. In addition, since the soup and the like during cooking are more likely to remain between the cover plate 10, the upper steaming cover 22 and the lower cover 21, it is also easier to clean.

[0059] Specifically, the steam valve 20 is provided with one air outlet 221 or multiple air outlets 221 are arranged at intervals, so as to better discharge steam according to actual conditions. Specifically, the air outlet 221 on the upper cover 22 generally only flows through steam water, and the flow cross section of the overall air outlet 221 can be appropriately reduced, and multiple small air outlets 221 can be correspondingly arranged, so as to evenly discharge air and better prevent overflow.

[0060] Specifically, the connecting hole 211 and the gas outlet 221 are arranged in a staggered manner so that the steam in the steam valve 20 has a certain tortuous path, thereby effectively preventing overflow.

[0061] In this embodiment, the steam valve 20 includes a lower cover 21 and an upper cover 22 connected to each other, the lower cover 21 is provided with a connecting hole 211, the upper cover 22 is provided with an air outlet 221, and the upper cover 22 is movably provided on the lower cover 21 to move to a closed position for closing the lower cover 21 or an open position to avoid at least part of the lower cover 21. The lower cover 21 includes a main body 213 and a guide part 214 connected to each other, the guide part 214 is provided protruding from the main body 213, and the guide part 214 surrounds the connecting hole 211; the upper cover 22 is provided with a retaining rib 222; when the upper cover 22 is in the closed position, at least part of the retaining rib 222 is arranged opposite to the guide part 214. With such a structural arrangement, it is convenient to better control the discharge of steam.

[0062] Specifically, the lower cover 21 in this embodiment is fixed to the cover plate 10 by rivets, and the cover plate 10 may be a heat-insulating structure. The upper cover 22 is rotatably mounted on the lower cover 21 by a rotating shaft 30, and is buckled by a lock 40. The user can open the upper cover 22 to clean the interior of the steam valve 20 by turning the lock 40.

[0063] Specifically, in order to avoid excessive steam loss during cooking, the flow area S1 of the air outlet 221 of the upper cover 22, the flow area S2 of the connecting hole 211 of the lower cover 21, and the height H1 of the retaining rib 222 can be adjusted to jointly control the total air outlet area and exhaust speed. Since only steam and water generally flow through the air outlet 221 of the upper cover 22, the area of ​​the air outlet 221S1 can be appropriately reduced or multiple small air outlets 221 can be set. In addition, since the upper cover 22 of the steam valve 20 can be opened for cleaning, the height H1 of the retaining rib 222 of the upper cover 22 of the steam valve 20 can be increased to control the exhaust speed of steam.

[0064] Specifically, the flow area of ​​the air outlet 221 is S1, the flow area of ​​the connecting hole 211 is S2, the height of the retaining rib 222 is H1, and the height between the lower cover 21 and the upper cover 22 is H; wherein 0<S1<600mm 2 ; and / or, 50 mm 2 <S2≤600mm 2 ; and / or, 50 mm 2 <S1+S2≤600mm 2 ; and / or, 0

[0065] Specifically, in one embodiment, the height H between the lower cover 21 and the upper cover 22 can be understood as the maximum height between the lower cover 21 and the upper cover 22. In one embodiment, the flow area of ​​the air outlet 221 can be understood as the area corresponding to the flow cross section surrounded by the periphery of the air outlet 221, and the flow area of ​​the connecting hole 211 can be understood as the area corresponding to the flow cross section surrounded by the periphery of the connecting hole 211.

[0066] Specifically, the flow area of ​​the air outlet 221 is S1, the flow area of ​​the connecting hole 211 is S2, the height of the retaining rib 222 is H1, and the height between the lower cover 21 and the upper cover 22 is H; wherein, 50mm 2 <S1+S2≤300mm 2 , 0 2 <S1+S2≤600mm 2 ​​, 1 / 2 < H1 / H < 1. In this way, when the area of S1 + S2 is small, the height of the baffle rib 222 can be set to be small to facilitate the smooth discharge of steam; when the area of S1 + S2 is large, the height of the baffle rib 222 can be set to be large to effectively prevent overflow under the premise of ensuring steam discharge.

[0067] Embodiment 2 of the present utility model provides a rice cooker, including the installation component provided in Embodiment 1 above.

[0068] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present utility model achieve the following technical effects: by setting the shape of the sunken platform of the lower cover to be the same as that of the air outlet hole of the cover plate, the blocked dead-angle gap is eliminated, and the cleaning dead angle is reduced. At the same time, by increasing the flow cross-section of the air outlet hole, it is convenient to clean. After the flow cross-section of the air outlet hole is increased, the air outlet area can be controlled by adjusting the air outlet area of the upper and lower covers of the steam valve and the height of the baffle rib on the upper cover of the steam valve to ensure that a large amount of steam will not evaporate during cooking. This solution can avoid the cleaning dead angle between the lower cover of the steam valve and the heat preservation cover plate, making it more convenient for users to clean, avoiding phenomena such as mildew and peculiar smell after long-term use, and improving the user experience.
