Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a steaming plate structure, a pot body component and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, a steaming plate structure is provided in the pot body so that a variety of foods can be cooked in one pot at the same time, thereby improving cooking efficiency and further enhancing the user experience.

[0003] For user convenience, the steaming tray structure can be configured with only an upper opening, allowing the steaming tray structure to be used directly to hold food. To ensure that steam from below the steaming tray structure can rise smoothly, airflow holes are also provided on the support surface above the steaming tray structure. However, if too much liquid is added to the steaming tray structure or the liquid in the steaming tray boils, the liquid in the steaming tray may flow into the pot through the airflow holes, causing the food above and below the steaming tray structure to odorize, resulting in poor cooking results. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a steaming plate structure, a pot body assembly and a cooking utensil to solve the problem in the related art that liquid in the steaming plate structure easily flows into the pot body through the air flow holes, causing food to have a flavor.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a steaming tray structure is provided, comprising: a plurality of steaming grids; a connecting edge connected above the plurality of steaming grids; a steam hole penetratingly arranged on the connecting edge; and a flow blocking member arranged at the steam hole and preventing the liquid in the steaming grid from overflowing into the steam hole.

[0006] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, steam holes are provided on the connecting edge, allowing the steaming tray to be used to directly accommodate food. Steam located below the steaming plate structure can flow through the steam holes to the top of the steaming plate structure, thereby balancing the air pressure on the upper and lower sides of the steaming plate structure. A flow baffle is provided at the steam hole and can prevent the liquid in the steaming tray from overflowing into the steam hole. Even when there is too much liquid in the steaming tray or the liquid in the steaming tray boils and splashes, the flow baffle prevents the liquid in the steaming tray from flowing through the steam hole into the pot body and affecting the taste of the food in the pot body. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can effectively solve the problem in the related art that liquid in the steaming plate structure easily flows through the air flow holes into the pot body, causing the food to have a cross-flavor.

[0007] Furthermore, the flow blocking member includes a flow blocking tube arranged around the periphery of the steam hole. The flow blocking tube is arranged around the periphery of the steam hole, which can not only block the liquid splashing onto the steam hole, but also block the liquid overflowing to the connecting edge.

[0008] Furthermore, in the direction from bottom to top, the baffle cylinder is tilted toward the center line of the steam hole. The tilted baffle cylinder facilitates the stamping and forming of the baffle cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the flow blocking member further comprises a flow blocking flange arranged above the flow blocking cylinder and extending toward the center line of the steam hole. The flow blocking flange can further block the liquid splashing onto the top of the flow blocking cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the baffle tube is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 7 mm. The height of the baffle tube within the above range can take into account both the effect of blocking splashing liquid and the ease of processing and forming the baffle tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the flow blocking member includes a waterproof, breathable membrane disposed above the steam hole. Steam within the pot body can flow upward through the waterproof, breathable membrane, while liquid that overflows or splashes above the steam hole cannot pass through the waterproof, breathable membrane and flow downward into the pot body. This prevents liquid in the steaming tray from flowing into the pot body and affecting the taste of the food inside the pot body.

[0012] Furthermore, the waterproof breathable membrane is made of polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene or polyester. Using the above materials to make the waterproof breathable membrane allows only gas to pass through and restricts liquid from passing through, thereby preventing the liquid in the steaming tray from flowing into the pot body.

[0013] Furthermore, the steam holes are arranged between two adjacent steaming grids and close to the periphery of the connecting edge. This arrangement can effectively utilize the space on the connecting edge, making the overall layout of the steaming tray structure more reasonable.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a pot assembly is provided, comprising a pot body and a removable steaming tray structure disposed on the pot body, wherein the steaming tray structure is the aforementioned steaming tray structure. The aforementioned steaming tray structure effectively solves the problem in the related art whereby liquid within the steaming tray structure easily flows through the airflow holes into the pot body, causing food to taint. The pot assembly having the aforementioned steaming tray structure also has the aforementioned advantages.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a pot assembly, wherein the pot assembly is the pot assembly described above. The pot assembly described above can effectively solve the problem in the related art whereby liquid in a steaming tray structure easily flows through the airflow holes into the pot body, causing food to have a flavorful taste. The cooking utensil having the pot assembly described above also has the aforementioned advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0036] The present application provides a steaming tray structure, wherein: Figure 1 and Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a steaming tray structure according to the present application is shown; Figure 3 and Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a second embodiment of a steaming tray structure according to the present application is shown; Figure 5 and Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the steaming tray structure according to the present application is shown.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first embodiment of the steaming tray structure of the present application includes: a plurality of steaming trays 10, a connecting edge 20, steam holes 30, and a flow blocker 40. The connecting edge 20 is connected to the top of the plurality of steaming trays 10; the steam holes 30 are provided through the connecting edge 20; and the flow blocker 40 is provided at the steam holes 30 to prevent the liquid in the steaming trays 10 from overflowing into the steam holes 30.

[0038] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, steam holes 30 are provided on the connecting edge 20, allowing the steaming tray 10 to directly hold food. Steam located below the steaming tray structure can flow through the steam holes 30 to the top of the steaming tray structure, thereby balancing the air pressure above and below the steaming tray structure. A flow blocker 40 is provided at the steam holes 30 and prevents liquid in the steaming tray 10 from overflowing into the steam holes 30. Even if there is excessive liquid in the steaming tray 10 or the liquid in the steaming tray 10 boils and splashes, the flow blocker 40 prevents the liquid in the steaming tray 10 from flowing through the steam holes 30 into the pot body 50 and affecting the taste of the food inside the pot body 50. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in related arts where liquid in the steaming tray structure easily flows through the air holes into the pot body, causing food to transfer flavors.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 40 includes a baffle tube 41 arranged around the periphery of the steam hole 30. The baffle tube is arranged around the periphery of the steam hole 30, which can not only block the liquid splashing to the steam hole 30, but also block the liquid overflowing to the connecting edge 20.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the height of the baffle 41 is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 7 mm. Within the above-mentioned range, the height of the baffle 41 can balance the blocking effect on splashing liquid and the ease of processing and forming the baffle 41. If the height of the baffle 41 is too low, the blocking effect on liquid is poor, and some splashing liquid may flow over the baffle 41 and enter the steam port 30. If the height of the baffle 41 is too high, it is difficult to stamp and form the baffle 41. Preferably, the height of the baffle 41 can be 3 mm, 5 mm, or 7 mm.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the baffle tube 41 extends in the vertical direction or has only a very small angle (5° or less than 5°) with the vertical direction.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the steam holes 30 are arranged between two adjacent steaming trays 10 and close to the outer periphery of the connecting edge 20. Such an arrangement can effectively utilize the space on the connecting edge 20, making the overall layout of the steaming tray structure more reasonable.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting edge 20 includes a middle connecting edge 21 connecting between the plurality of steaming trays 10 and a connecting peripheral edge 22 surrounding the periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 10 .

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting edge 22 includes a first transverse edge 221 connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 10 and extending outward, a vertical edge 222 connected to the outer end of the first transverse edge 221 and extending upward, and a second transverse edge 223 connected to the upper end of the vertical edge 222 and extending outward. This arrangement allows the connecting edge 22 to cooperate with the stepped structure on the inner side wall of the pot body 50, allowing the steaming tray structure to be stably placed within the pot body 50.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of the second transverse surrounding edge 223 is flush with or higher than the top surface of the baffle cylinder 41 .

[0046] Figure 3 and Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the steaming plate structure according to the present application is shown. The following mainly describes the parts of the second embodiment that are different from the first embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same parts of the two embodiments are not repeated here.

[0047] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the specific structure of the baffle 40. Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 41 is tilted upward toward the centerline of the steam hole 30. This tilt facilitates stamping of the baffle 41. Furthermore, the baffle 41 extends inward from bottom to top, positioning its upper end farther from the edge of the steamer 10, further reducing the chance of liquid splashing into the baffle 41.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the baffle member 40 further includes a baffle flange 42 disposed above the baffle cylinder 41 and extending toward the center line of the steam hole 30. The baffle flange 42 can further block the liquid splashing above the baffle cylinder 41.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steaming tray structure can be formed by stamping. The flow blocking member 40 is formed by first stamping an upward convex structure on the connecting edge 20, then punching a hole in the top wall of the convex structure, and the remaining portion of the top wall of the convex structure forms the flow blocking flange 42.

[0050] Figure 5 and Figure 6A structural schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the steaming plate structure according to the present application is shown. The following mainly describes the parts of the third embodiment that are different from the first embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same parts of the two embodiments are not repeated here.

[0051] Specifically, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies primarily in the specific structure of the flow baffle 40. The flow baffle 40 comprises a waterproof, breathable membrane 43 disposed above the steam hole 30. The membrane 43 allows gas to flow through while restricting liquid flow. Specifically, steam within the pot body 50 can flow upward through the membrane, while liquid that overflows or splashes above the steam hole 30 cannot flow downward through the membrane 43 into the pot body 50. This prevents liquid from the steaming tray 10 from flowing into the pot body 50 and affecting the taste of the food inside.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the waterproof breathable membrane 43 is connected to the connecting edge 20 by bonding.

[0053] In this embodiment, the waterproof breathable membrane 43 is made of polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, or polyester. Using these materials to make the waterproof breathable membrane 43 allows only gas to pass through and restricts the passage of liquid, thereby preventing the liquid in the steamer 10 from flowing into the pot body 50.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the present application also provides a pot assembly comprising a pot body 50 and a steaming tray structure removably disposed on the pot body 50, wherein the steaming tray structure is the above-mentioned steaming tray structure. The above-mentioned steaming tray structure can effectively solve the problem in the related art where liquid in the steaming tray structure easily flows into the pot body through the air flow holes, causing food to have a flavor. The pot assembly having the above-mentioned steaming tray structure also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pot body assembly also includes dividing ribs arranged in the pot body 50, which divide the space in the pot body 50 into multiple sub-chambers, wherein the dividing ribs are supported below the middle connecting edge 21 of the steaming plate structure, further improving the stability of the steaming plate structure placed in the pot body 50.

[0056] The number of steaming grids 10 is the same as the number of sub-chambers, and multiple steaming grids 10 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple sub-chambers. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the steaming grid 10 and the number of the sub-chambers are both two. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the number of the steaming grid and the sub-chambers can also be three or more.

[0057] like Figure 8As shown, the present application also provides a cooking utensil including a pot assembly, wherein the pot assembly is the pot assembly described above. The pot assembly described above can effectively solve the problem in the related art whereby liquid in a steaming tray structure easily flows through the air flow holes into the pot body, causing food to have a flavor. The cooking utensil having the pot assembly described above also has the aforementioned advantages.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, the cooking appliance further includes a pot assembly 60 and a cover assembly 70 that is openably and closably disposed on the pot assembly 60 , and the pot assembly is disposed in the pot assembly 60 .

[0059] In the present embodiment, the cooking utensil is an electric cooker. Of course, in embodiments not shown in the figures, the cooking utensil can also be products such as an electric rice cooker, a low-pressure rice cooker, a soybean milk maker, a food processor, a cooking machine, an electric stew pot, a multi-function pot, etc.

[0060] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0061] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0062] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
