[0030] A steamer is a commonly used cooking utensil. Existing steamers are generally made of wood, bamboo, or metal. Generally, they are heated and steamed by water vapor in a closed space. However, during the food processing process, users cannot see the state of the food in the steamer, making it difficult to master the steaming situation of the food and not meeting the usage requirements.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5, the present utility model provides a glass steamer, which includes a steamer 100, a steamer assembly 200 and a lid. The steamer 100 is provided with an evaporation chamber 120 having an opening 110 at the upper part. The evaporation chamber 120 is used for containing water to heat and generate steam. The steamer assembly 200 is a transparent glass product and is arranged above the steamer 100. The bottom of the steamer assembly 200 can abut against the edge of the opening 110 to close the evaporation chamber 120. The steamer assembly 200 includes a bottom plate 230 and a peripheral plate 220. The peripheral plate 220 is a circular ring-shaped glass plate. The bottom plate 230 is connected to the bottom of the peripheral plate 220 and is provided with a through hole for carrying food and allowing steam to pass through. The peripheral plate 220 includes three arc-shaped plates 221 spliced together, and the two arc-shaped plates 221 are fixed by a connecting member 300. The lid is covered on the top of the steamer assembly 200 to close the steamer assembly 200. The lid is connected with a handle 500. The handle 500 is connected to the lid through a lid torsion seat 400. The lid torsion seat 400 is provided with a rotating shaft 410, and the end of the rotating shaft 410 is provided with an installation groove 411. The handle 500 is provided with a through sleeve 510. The sleeve 510 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 410, and the handle 500 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 410 to approach or move away from the surface of the lid. It can be understood that when in use, clear water is placed in the steamer 100, and the water in the evaporation chamber 120 at the bottom of the steamer 100 is heated to generate steam. The steamer assembly 200 is covered on the steamer 100, and the food to be heated is placed on the bottom plate 230. The heated steam diffuses through the bottom plate 230 throughout the steamer assembly 200 to heat the food. The peripheral plate 220 of the steamer assembly 200 or the whole steamer assembly 200 is made of glass products, so as to facilitate users to observe the food processing state and meet the use requirements. It is easy to understand that the peripheral plate 220 is formed by splicing three arc-shaped plates 221 pairwise and fixed by a connecting member 300, rather than being integrally formed. Its manufacturing difficulty is low, the production cost is low, and it is convenient to disassemble and assemble. If it is damaged, only the corresponding arc-shaped plate 221 needs to be replaced, which optimizes the use. When the user needs to open the pot lid to observe the cooking situation or add seasonings during the cooking process, by rotating the handle 500 to increase the angle between the handle 500 and the lid, and placing the end of the handle 500 and the edge of the pot lid against the horizontal plane vertically, the stability of the vertical placement can be improved, and it further facilitates the user's need to observe the food state during cooking.

[0032] It should be noted that after cooking, the user rotates the handle 500 towards the lid until the end of the handle 500 abuts against the surface of the lid, minimizing the space occupied by the handle 500, which is beneficial for storage.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the connecting member 300 includes two fixing plates 310 of the same specification. The two fixing plates 310 are respectively located outside and inside the peripheral plate 220 to sandwich the arc-shaped plate 221. The fixing plate 310 is provided with a first fixing hole 311, and a fastening member passes through the first fixing hole 311. The arc-shaped plate 221 is correspondingly provided with a second fixing hole 223, and the fastening member passes through the first fixing hole 311 and the second fixing hole 223 to fix the fixing plate 310 and the arc-shaped plate 221. Specifically, there are 4 first fixing holes 311, and the 4 first fixing holes 311 are evenly arranged in a matrix. Two second fixing holes 223 are respectively arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 221 along the length direction, and the 4 second fixing holes 223 of two adjacent arc-shaped plates 221 correspond to the 4 first fixing holes 311. Two adjacent arc-shaped plates 221 are fixed by one connecting member 300. The fastening member can be a screw, a bolt, etc., and is not uniquely limited here. It should be noted that to ensure the connection stability, the number of the first fixing holes 311 and the second fixing holes 223 can be 6, 8 or even more, but preferably an even number to ensure that the number of fastening members pressed by two adjacent arc-shaped plates 221 is equal and the stress is equal.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4 , the connecting member 300 further includes a limiting plate 320. The limiting plate 320 is located between the two fixing plates 310 and is in an "I" shape. The middle part of the limiting plate 320 has a spacer plate 321, and the side walls of two adjacent arc-shaped plates 221 respectively abut against both sides of the spacer plate 321. The limiting plate 320 is provided with 4 third fixing holes, and the positions of the 4 third fixing holes correspond to the positions of the first fixing holes 311. Two groove-shaped structures are formed on both sides of the limiting plate 320 with the spacer plate 321 as the center. The side walls of the arc-shaped plate 221 are inserted into the grooves and abut against the spacer plate 321, which can realize the quick splicing of the arc-shaped plate 221 and the connecting member 300 and facilitate the fixation.

[0035] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the handle 500 is covered with a gland 600. The gland 600 is provided with a mounting hole 601, and a fastening member passes through the mounting hole 601. When the sleeve 510 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 410, the gland 600 covers the sleeve 510 and is located on the side close to the mounting groove 411, and the fastening member is inserted into the mounting groove 411 to fix the handle 500 and the cover torsion seat 400. Thus, it is convenient to fix the attitude state of the handle 500.

[0036] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8, Further, the handle 500 is provided with a receiving groove 520. The receiving groove 520 is arranged around the sleeve 510. A damping spring 521 is embedded in the receiving groove 520. One end of the damping spring 521 abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 520, and the other end abuts against the gland 600. The gland 600 is fixedly connected to the cover torsion base 400 through fasteners, and the handle 500 is sleeved on the cover torsion base 400 through the sleeve 510. The damping spring 521 is pressed by the gland 600 and sleeved in the receiving groove 520, generating an elastic force against elastic deformation. The two ends of the damping spring 521 respectively abut against the handle 500 and the gland 600. When the handle 500 rotates, the gland 600 and the cover torsion base 400 do not rotate. The elastic force generated by the damping spring 521 in the handle 500 increases the friction force with the gland 600, thereby playing a role in increasing the damping force when the handle 500 rotates. It should be noted that for the convenience of assembly, the sleeve 510 of the handle 500 and the rotating shaft 410 are not in interference fit. It is difficult for the handle 500 to maintain its posture after rotating around the rotating shaft 410, and the handle 500 will rotate by itself due to the action of gravity, which is likely to cause the pot lid in the upright state to be unstable. The damping spring 521 can ensure that the handle 500 can rotate while maintaining its position and posture without external force influence, improving the stability of the pot lid placed upright.

[0037] Further, the cover torsion base 400 is provided with a positioning groove 420, and the gland 600 is connected with a positioning boss 610. The positioning boss 610 is clamped in the positioning groove 420 to determine the posture of the gland 600. Preferably, there are 2 positioning grooves 420 and positioning bosses 610 respectively, which is beneficial to quickly install the gland 600.

[0038] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , A plurality of adjusting bosses 530 are arranged on the side wall of the handle 500. The plurality of adjusting bosses 530 are circumferentially arranged around the axis of the sleeve 510. The cover torsion base 400 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged adjusting slots 430. When the handle 500 rotates, the adjusting bosses 530 are inserted into or away from the corresponding adjusting slots 430. It is easy to understand that the adjusting bosses 530 and the adjusting slots 430 are similar to the meshing of two gears, which is beneficial to increasing the damping force when the handle 500 rotates, ensuring that the handle 500 will not rotate and drop by itself. While improving the rotational stability of the handle 500, users can also obtain feedback when rotating the handle 500 to judge the rotation angle of the handle 500.

[0039] Refer to Figure 2, a limiting ring 240 is provided around the top of the peripheral plate 220. The limiting ring 240 can simultaneously engage with the top walls of three arc-shaped plates 221 to reinforce the peripheral plate 220, further enhancing the stability of the splicing of the arc-shaped plates 221. Further, a positioning step 241 is provided on the top of the limiting ring 240, and the periphery of the upper cover 210 abuts against the positioning step 241, which is beneficial to the covering of the upper cover 210.

[0040] Refer to Figure 2 , a clamping platform 222 is provided on the inner wall of the peripheral plate 220. There are three clamping platforms 222, which are respectively located at the middle lower positions of one arc-shaped plate 221 and are used to abut against the bottom wall of the bottom plate 230. By directly placing the bottom plate 230 against the clamping platform 222, it is convenient for disassembly, cleaning and further optimizes the use.
