[0003] Existing cooking steamers are generally installed in a bottom-mounted manner. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the steamer, since the steamer opening faces one side, when cleaning, one can only squat down to clean the inside of the steamer body, which is not very friendly to people with waist injuries. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a cooking steamer to solve the technical problem that when cleaning, one can only squat down to clean the inside of the steamer body, which is not very friendly to people with waist injuries.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A cooking steamer includes a housing. A sliding mechanism is slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the housing. The sliding mechanism includes a sliding plate. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the fixing block. A ratchet ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the sliding rod. The ratchet ring meshes with a ratchet pawl. One side of the ratchet pawl is rotatably connected to a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a sliding block.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding mechanism enables the steamer to slide and tilt within the housing, which provides great convenience for users when cleaning the steamer. Users can easily pull out and tilt the steamer to better clean its inside without having to squat or bend down, thus reducing discomfort and fatigue during cleaning.

[0007] Further, two sets of the sliding mechanisms are provided. One ends of the sliding rods of the two sets of sliding mechanisms are rotatably connected to a steamer through a rotating block, and the rotating block is fixedly connected to the steamer.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, setting two sets of sliding mechanisms provides more stable support and sliding effect for the steamer, enabling the steamer to be more stable when being pulled out and tilted, reducing the situation of shaking or instability, and further improving the user experience.

[0009] Further, baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the steamer. A sliding groove is formed on the baffle, and the sliding groove is slidably connected to the sliding block.

The sliding mechanism 2 includes a sliding plate 201. A fixed block 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate 201. A sliding rod 203 is slidably connected to the fixed block 202. A ratchet ring 204 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the sliding rod 203. The ratchet ring 204 meshes with a ratchet pawl 205. One side of the ratchet pawl 205 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 206. One end of the connecting rod 206 is rotatably connected to a sliding block 207. The meshing mechanism of the ratchet ring 204 and the ratchet pawl 205 ensures that the steam box 3 can remain stable in an inclined state, prevents the steam box 3 from accidentally sliding or falling during the cleaning process, protects the safety of users, and makes the cleaning process smoother and more efficient.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , two groups of sliding mechanisms 2 are provided. One end of the sliding rod 203 of the two groups of sliding mechanisms 2 is rotatably connected to the steam box 3 through a rotating block 208. The rotating block 208 and the steam box 3 are fixedly connected. One end of the sliding rod 203 of the two groups of sliding mechanisms 2 is rotatably connected to the steam box 3 through the rotating block 208, which enhances the stability between the steam box 3 and the sliding mechanism 2, makes the steam box 3 more flexible when tilted, and users can easily tilt the steam box 3 to a suitable angle according to needs for better cleaning or operation.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, on both sides of the steam box 3, there are fixed baffles 4. The baffles 4 are provided with sliding grooves 5, and the sliding grooves 5 are slidably connected with the sliding blocks 207. The sliding connection between the sliding grooves 5 and the sliding blocks 207 also provides a smoother operation experience for users. When the user needs to clean the steam box 3, the sliding block 207 can be easily pulled to move along the sliding groove 5, so as to pull out the steam box 3 and facilitate tilting it to a suitable angle subsequently.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, the locking groove 6 is provided on the rotating block 208, and the locking groove 6 and the fixed block 202 are arranged oppositely. The pawl 205 and the steam box 3 are rotationally connected through a torsion rotating shaft. The pawl 205 and the steam box 3 are rotationally connected through a torsion rotating shaft, enabling the pawl 205 to lock the steam box 3 by meshing with the ratchet ring 204, making the adjustment of the entire sliding mechanism 2 smoother and more reliable.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, a magnet block 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 201.

The fixation method of the magnet block 7 is simple and effective, without complex mechanical structures, reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty, and at the same time extending the service life of the steam box 3.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, a steam box door 8 is rotationally connected to the front side of the steam box 3. A tray is arranged inside the steam box 3. A first handle 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 207. When the user needs to adjust the tilting angle to clean the steam box 3, it can be achieved by simply pulling the first handle 9 without directly touching the sliding block 207, thereby reducing the direct contact between the hand and the device and improving the comfort of use.

[0037] The implementation principle of the present utility model is as follows: First, when the steam box 3 needs to be cleaned, the steam box 3 is pulled outwards, enabling the magnetic force between the magnet block 7 and the housing 1 to be overcome, and the steam box 3 is pulled outwards. After the steam box 3 is pulled out, the steam box 3 is rotated upwards. At this time, the pawl 205 moves upwards along the ratchet ring 204. When it rotates to the specified position, the pawl 205 and the ratchet ring 204 lock each other, enabling the steam box 3 to maintain an upwardly tilted state, thereby facilitating the user to wipe and clean the inside of the steam box 3;

[0038] After the cleaning is completed, pull the first handle 9, so that the first handle 9 drives the sliding block 207 to slide outwards. The sliding block 207 pulls the pawl 205 outwards through the connecting rod 206, so that the pawl 205 and the ratchet ring 204 are unlocked. Then, rotate the steam box 3 downwards. After rotating to an obliquely downward position, release the first handle 9, so that the pawl 205 and the ratchet ring 204 are locked with each other. At this time, since the steam box 3 is in an inclined state, the water for internal cleaning can flow out, avoiding the action of repeatedly draining the water and improving the speed of draining the accumulated water inside. Embodiment 2:

[0039] Refer to Figure 4 , a second handle 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the baffle 4. The second handle 10 is made of rubber.
