Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a steamer. Background Art

[0002] Steamers are common cooking utensils. Conventional steamers consist solely of a steamer body, making them inadequate for diverse work environments. Therefore, Chinese utility model patent CN 212521536 U discloses a steamer with hinged support legs on its bottom. When deployed, these legs support the steamer body, raising the steamer. When retracted, the legs lower the steamer. However, this feature suffers from the disadvantage that the legs are not locked in place when retracted, making them susceptible to movement or misuse (for example, lifting the steamer legs can easily cause them to unfold). Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing steamer, the utility model provides a steamer that is safer to use.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem with a technical solution as follows: a steamer, comprising a steamer body, a bottom surface of the steamer body being provided with an articulated frame, and legs being articulated on the articulated frame;

[0005] The support legs include a first support rod and a second support rod that are arranged opposite to each other, the end of the first support rod and the end of the second support rod being connected by a bottom rod, the head end of the first support rod and the head end of the second support rod being hinged on the hinge frame, so that the support legs can be unfolded after flipping over and the steamer body can be propped up by using the support legs as support, and the support legs can be close to the bottom surface of the steamer body after flipping over to achieve the folding of the support legs;

[0006] The feature is that a positioning device is provided on the hinged frame or the bottom surface of the steamer body, and the supporting legs are retracted after being turned over, and the first support rod and the second support rod can be deformed inwardly and positioned in the positioning device.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning device includes a first positioning hook corresponding to the first support rod and a second positioning hook corresponding to the second support rod. When the support leg is flipped, the first support rod and the second support rod can be relatively close to each other, so that the first support rod can enter the first positioning hook and the second support rod can enter the second positioning hook.

[0008] Furthermore, the articulated frame is further provided with a first limiting plate corresponding to the first support rod and a second limiting plate corresponding to the second support rod;

[0009] After the supporting legs are flipped and unfolded, the first support rod abuts against the first limiting plate, and the second support rod abuts against the second limiting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the first end of the first support rod is bent outward to form a first hinge rod, and the first end of the second support rod is bent outward to form a second hinge rod;

[0011] The hinge frame is provided with a first hinge plate and a second hinge plate. The first hinge rod passes through the first hinge plate, and the second hinge rod passes through the second hinge plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning device is provided on the articulated frame;

[0013] The hinge frame, the first positioning hook, the second positioning hook, the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate, the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are integrally formed.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that a positioning device is provided on the hinged frame or the bottom surface of the steamer body, and when the supporting legs are retracted after being flipped, the first support rod and the second support rod can be deformed inwardly and positioned in the positioning device, so that the supporting legs can be positioned when they are retracted after being flipped, and shaking and malfunction will not occur.

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-6 A steamer comprises a steamer body 1, the bottom surface of the steamer body 1 is provided with a hinged frame 2, and the hinged frame 2 is hinged with a support leg 3.

[0023] The support legs 3 include a first support rod 4 and a second support rod 5 arranged opposite to each other. The end of the first support rod 4 and the end of the second support rod 5 are connected by a bottom rod 6. The head end of the first support rod 4 and the head end of the second support rod 5 are hinged on the hinged frame 2, so that the support legs 3 can be unfolded after flipping and the support legs 3 are used as support to prop up the steamer body 1. The support legs 3 can be close to the bottom surface of the steamer body 1 after flipping to achieve the folding of the support legs 3.

[0024] A positioning device is provided on the hinge frame 2 or on the bottom surface of the steamer body 1. After the support legs 3 are turned over and the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5 are retracted, they can be deformed inwards and positioned in the positioning device.

[0025] The positioning device can take various forms. For example, the positioning device is a block provided on the hinged frame 2 or the bottom surface of the steamer body 1. The block is provided with a buckle groove, and the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5 can be buckled into the buckle groove after being flipped and folded.

[0026] In one embodiment, the positioning device includes a first positioning hook 7 corresponding to the first support rod 4 and a second positioning hook 8 corresponding to the second support rod 5. When the support leg 3 is flipped, the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5 can move closer to each other, so that the first support rod 4 can enter the first positioning hook 7 and the second support rod 5 can enter the second positioning hook 8. That is, due to the shape design of the support leg 3, it is deformable. When the support leg 3 is flipped from the unfolded support state to the folded and retracted state, the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5 of the support leg can be pinched by hand to deform inward so that they can be smoothly hooked into the first positioning hook 7 and the second positioning hook 8; similarly, when the support leg 3 is flipped from the folded and retracted state to the unfolded support state, the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5 of the support leg can be pinched by hand to deform inward so that they can be smoothly disengaged from the first positioning hook 7 and the second positioning hook 8.

[0027] In one embodiment, the articulated frame 2 is further provided with a first limit plate 9 corresponding to the first support rod 4 and a second limit plate 10 corresponding to the second support rod 5; after the support leg 3 is flipped and unfolded, the first support rod 4 is against the first limit plate 9, and the second support rod 5 is against the second limit plate 10, so that when the support leg 3 is unfolded to support the steamer body, the support leg 3 is more stable.

[0028] In one embodiment, the head end of the first support rod 4 is bent outward to form a first hinge rod 11, and the head end of the second support rod 5 is bent outward to form a second hinge rod 12; the hinge frame 2 is provided with a first hinge plate 13 and a second hinge plate 14, the first hinge rod 11 passes through the first hinge plate 13, and the second hinge rod 12 passes through the second hinge plate 14. The hinge structure is simple and the manufacturing process is also relatively simple.

[0029] In one embodiment, the positioning device is provided on the articulated frame 2; the articulated frame 2, the first positioning hook 7, the second positioning hook 8, the first limiting plate 9, the second limiting plate 10, the first hinge plate 11, and the second hinge plate 12 are integrally formed, which is convenient for molding and manufacturing.
