[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar numbers throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "assemble," "connect," and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection; direct connection, connection through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0027] The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further describe the specific embodiments of the present invention so that the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention are more clearly understood. The following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings is illustrative and intended to explain the present invention, but is not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The preferred embodiment provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 7As shown, a steaming rack structure for a cooking appliance includes a steam generating assembly 1, a first steaming rack assembly 2, a second steaming rack assembly 5, and a steamer enclosure 7. The steam generating assembly 1 includes a steam generating chamber 11 for storing water and a heating assembly 12 disposed at the bottom of the steam generating chamber 11. The heating assembly 12 heats the water to boiling to generate steam. The steamer enclosure 7 can be disposed on the first steaming rack assembly 2 and / or at least one second steaming rack assembly 5. A corresponding steamer enclosure 7 is removably disposed below each second steaming rack assembly 5. In some optional embodiments, two second steaming rack assemblies 5 and one first steaming rack assembly 2 may be provided. A steamer enclosure 7 may be disposed between the first steaming rack assembly 2 and the second steaming rack assembly 5, and another steamer enclosure 7 may be disposed between two second steaming rack assemblies 5. A pot lid may be disposed above the top second steaming rack assembly 5. The purpose of this configuration is to increase the spacing between the steaming racks by disposing the annular steamer enclosure 7, thereby allowing for the placement of food, tableware, and other items on the steaming racks. The edges of the first steaming rack assembly 2 and / or the second steaming rack assembly 5 are provided with a water passage for condensed water and a diversion notch that can divert the condensed water downward and is connected to the water passage; due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the steamer enclosure 7, condensed water is easily formed on the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7. When there is enough condensed water, the condensed water will flow down in streams; the water passage provided in this embodiment is to collect the remaining condensed water and prevent the condensed water from flowing directly into the steaming plate 6, thereby preventing the condensed water from contaminating or affecting the food; and the purpose of providing the diversion notch connected to the water passage is to divert and discharge the collected condensed water to the lower layer.

[0029] The first steaming rack assembly 2 has a disc-shaped structure and is provided with an air-passing boss 23. The air-passing boss 23 has a table-shaped structure and protrudes from the bottom surface of the first steaming rack assembly 2. The air-passing boss 23 includes at least two edge exhaust holes 233. The recessed portion of the first steaming rack assembly 2 relative to the air-passing boss 23 is used to collect waste water such as steam condensate and soup, that is, the waste water will be collected at the bottom of the first steam assembly to prevent the waste water from directly entering the clean water in the steam generating chamber 11, thereby preventing the clean water from being contaminated by the waste water, and also avoiding the problem of dirt accumulating on the side wall after being contaminated and being difficult to clean. The position of each edge exhaust hole 233 spans the top surface and side surface of the air boss 23; due to the relatively small volume of the air boss 23 or the limited height of the air boss 23, it is difficult to produce and manufacture multiple exhaust holes at different positions, and the air boss 23 has a steam flow requirement; in this embodiment, the top surface and the side surface are connected through an edge exhaust hole 233, so that a structure with a relatively large steam passage area can be formed when the height of the air boss 23 is limited, and the resistance of the top surface structure of the air boss 23 during the rising process of steam is reduced, so that the steam will not be limited to the discharge in the vertical and horizontal directions, that is, the steam can be discharged in the direction of 0~90° or 270~360° at the position of the edge exhaust hole 233, that is, the radiation angle range of the steam when it is discharged from the edge exhaust hole 233 is improved. The protruding structures on the edges of the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233 form a guide channel 235, which is used to drain the liquid accumulated on the top of the air-passing boss 23; there is a gap between the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233, and the protruding structures on the two opposite side edges of the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233 form a guide channel 235 on the top of the air-passing boss 23 to guide the flow of liquid, so that the liquid on the top surface of the air-passing boss 23 can flow to the recessed position of the first steaming rack assembly 2 through the guide channel 235, thereby achieving the effect of collecting condensed water and soup, and effectively avoiding the problem of condensed water or soup on the steaming rack assembly flowing into the steam generating chamber 11 through the exhaust holes to pollute the water source in the steam generating chamber 11 and dirty the cavity wall of the steam generating chamber 11; the aforementioned liquid can be condensed water, soup and other liquids.

[0030] The steam generating assembly 1 includes a steam generating chamber 11, a heating assembly 12 at the bottom of the chamber 11, and an L-shaped support platform 13 positioned at the edge of the chamber 11. The two sides of the L-shaped support platform 13, facing the interior of the chamber 11, respectively abut against the horizontal support section 211 and the vertical retaining section 212 of the first support plate 21. The L-shaped support platform 13 is designed to support the first steaming rack assembly 2 and to limit its horizontal displacement.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gas boss 23 further includes a central vent 231. The edge of the central vent 231 is provided with a first, annular protrusion 232 protruding from the top surface of the gas boss 23. The first protrusion 232 protrudes from the top surface of the gas boss 23 and surrounds the edge of the central vent 231, preventing wastewater on the top surface of the gas boss 23 from flowing into the steam generating chamber through the central vent 231 and contaminating the clean water. Second protrusions 234 are provided on both sides and the top edge of the edge vent 233, protruding from the outer surface of the gas boss 23. The second protrusion 234 is annular and surrounds the edge of the edge vent 233. In some alternative embodiments, the second protrusion 234 may also be a semi-enclosed structure, enclosing the top and sides of the edge vent 233. The primary purpose of the second protrusion 234 is to prevent excess wastewater on the top surface of the gas boss 23 from flowing into the edge vent 233, thereby preventing the wastewater from entering the steam generating chamber 11 and contaminating the clean water. Two opposing second protrusions 234 in adjacent edge exhaust holes 233 form a guide channel 235; the outer contour of the edge exhaust hole 233 is generally a rounded rectangular, runway-shaped, or elliptical structure. The purpose of this arrangement is to form an "inverted eight-shaped" trumpet-shaped structure at the upper portion of the second protrusions 234 of the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233, thereby guiding wastewater from a large area of ​​the top surface of the air-passing boss 23; the lower portion of the second protrusions 234 of the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233 can be an "eight-shaped" trumpet-shaped structure, the purpose of which is to reduce the rate of wastewater diversion when it is diverted downward without affecting the steam flow rate of the edge exhaust holes 233, thereby improving the wastewater diversion capability; in some embodiments, the lower portion of the second protrusions 234 of the two adjacent edge exhaust holes 233 can also be a rectangular channel structure, the main purpose of which is to guide the wastewater to the bottom of the first steaming rack assembly 2 and prevent the wastewater from entering the edge exhaust hole 233 from the side surface of the air-passing boss 23 during the wastewater guidance process.

[0032] In the embodiment, the first steamer assembly 2 comprises a first receiving plate 21 in L shape and a first supporting table 22 extending upward at one end of a horizontal receiving section 211 of the first receiving plate 21; the horizontal receiving section 211 of the first receiving plate 21 can be used to support the lower edge of the steamer surrounding plate 7, the vertical surrounding section 212 at the other end of the first receiving plate 21, the horizontal receiving section 211 and the outer side wall of the first supporting table 22 form a channel-shaped water passing channel; the steamer surrounding plate 7 is placed on the horizontal receiving section 211, and also on the water passing channel; due to the problem of large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the steamer surrounding plate 7, condensate water is easily formed on the inner side wall of the steamer surrounding plate 7, and when the condensate water accumulates enough, it will flow down along the inner side wall of the steamer surrounding plate 7, and the water passing channel can collect the condensate water flowing down from the inner side wall of the steamer surrounding plate 7. The upper surface of the first supporting table 22 is used to support the receiving tray 4; the first supporting table 22 supports the receiving tray 4, and the first supporting table 22 has a certain width, in order to avoid that the force of the receiving tray 4 is too concentrated, causing the structure of the receiving tray 4 to be fatigued or even damaged; the receiving tray 4 is usually made of metal plate material by bending process, and the edge position is folded downward and inward, in order to avoid that the edge of the receiving tray 4 is too sharp to scratch the user. The first supporting table 22 is provided with a first avoiding ring groove 221 for avoiding the edge of the receiving tray 4; the first avoiding ring groove 221 is used to adapt to the folding structure of the edge position of the receiving tray 4, avoiding that the overall load of the receiving tray 4 is concentrated on the folding structure, improving the carrying capacity and stability of the receiving tray 4. The first supporting table 22 is provided with a first notch 222 flush with the horizontal receiving section 211; the flow guide notch comprises the first notch 222; the first notch 222 is communicated with the water passing channel, which can realize that the water passing channel can collect the condensate water flowing down from the inner side wall of the steamer surrounding plate 7 through the first notch 222 into the first steamer assembly 2.

[0033] In the embodiment, the receiving tray 4 comprises a receiving cavity 41 formed by sinking in the middle, a drain groove 42 and a drain hole 43 arranged at the bottom of the drain groove 42. The receiving tray 4 is manufactured by stamping forming process; the receiving tray 4 has many groove structures and hole structures; the receiving tray 4 is generally in a disc shape, with a receiving cavity 41 formed by sinking in the middle; the receiving cavity 41 is used to support the falling food materials or other debris in the upper cooking cavity, and to avoid the food materials or other debris from directly falling into the steam generating cavity 11 and polluting the clean water; the bottom of the receiving cavity 41 is provided with a sink-shaped drain groove 42 and a drain hole 43 arranged at the bottom of the drain groove 42, in order to form a space for wastewater to pass through in the drain groove 42, and to flow out to the first steamer assembly 2 below through the drain hole 43.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second steaming rack assembly 5 includes a horizontally disposed second receiving plate 51 and a second supporting platform 52 protruding from one end of the second receiving plate 51. The second receiving plate 51 is used to support the lower edge of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid. The other end of the second receiving plate 51 extends upward to form a first vertical enclosure 511, which is disposed on the outer side of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid. The second receiving plate 51, the first vertical enclosure 511, and the outer sidewalls of the second supporting platform 52 together form a trough-shaped water passage. The steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid is placed on the water passage and on the second receiving plate 51. Due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid, condensation is easily formed on the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid. When sufficient condensation accumulates, it will flow down along the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid. The water passage can collect the condensation flowing down the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7 or pot lid. The upper surface of the second supporting platform 52 is used to support the steaming tray 6. The second supporting platform 52 is provided with a second avoidance annular groove 521 for avoiding the edge of the steaming tray 6. The second avoidance annular groove 521 is used to adapt to the folding structure at the edge of the steaming tray 6, preventing the entire load of the steaming tray 6 from being concentrated on the folding structure, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the steaming tray 6. The second supporting platform 52 is provided with a second notch 522 that is flush with the second receiving plate 51. The diversion notch includes the second notch 522. The second notch 522 is connected to the water passage, which can collect condensed water flowing down the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7 through the second notch 522 and flow into the first steaming rack assembly 2 or to the inner wall of the steamer enclosure 7 below the second steaming rack assembly 5.

[0035] In the embodiment, the second supporting table 52 further comprises a vertical mounting portion 523, a second vertical fence 524 arranged outside the vertical mounting portion 523, and a third vertical fence 525 arranged inside the vertical mounting portion 523. The vertical mounting portion 523 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the steamer fence 7 by fasteners. It should be noted that the type of fasteners is not limited, such as buckle and slot connection, screw thread connection, etc., which all belong to conventional technical means. Correspondingly, corresponding structures are arranged in the steamer fence 7 and the vertical mounting portion 523, which will not be described here. In some embodiments, the steamer fence 7 is made of a metal plate by stamping process and bending process. The cross section of the upper portion of the steamer fence 7 is substantially in a horizontal "Z" shape structure, which comprises two vertical structures and a horizontal structure between the two vertical structures. The transition of the two vertical structures and the horizontal structure forms a second bending portion 72 close to the cooking cavity and a first bending portion 71 away from the cooking cavity. The vertical mounting portion 523 abuts against the horizontal structure, and the vertical mounting portion 523 and the horizontal structure have corresponding mounting holes and are fixedly connected by screws. The second vertical fence 524 and the third vertical fence 525 jointly clamp the two side surfaces of the steamer fence 7. The second vertical fence 524 and the third vertical fence 525 abut against the two vertical structures respectively. The second vertical fence 524 extends downward of the second steamer assembly 5 and beyond the position where the first bending portion 71 is located. The main purpose of this arrangement is to form a covering structure on the side wall of the steamer fence 7, so as to avoid the intrusion of external substances into the structure gap formed by the steamer fence 7 and other structures, and also to reduce the occurrence of steam leakage in the cooking cavity, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the product.

[0036] The third vertical fence 525 extends downward of the second steamer assembly 5 and the lower edge of the third vertical fence 525 is flush with the lower surface of the second bending portion 72. In some alternative embodiments, the lower edge of the third vertical fence 525 can also be arranged to beyond the position where the second bending portion 72 is located, or arranged between the upper edge of the steamer fence 7 and the lower surface of the second bending portion 72. The purpose of this arrangement is to form a covering structure on the side wall of the steamer fence 7, so as to avoid the intrusion of external substances into the structure gap formed by the steamer fence 7 and other structures, and also to reduce the occurrence of steam leakage in the cooking cavity, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the product.

[0037] In the embodiment, a handle 3 is further arranged on the outer side wall of the first steamer assembly 2 and / or the second steamer assembly 5. The handle 3 comprises a horizontal holding plate 32 connected to the outer side wall of the first steamer assembly 2 and / or the second steamer assembly 5 at one end, side support plates 33 arranged on both sides of the horizontal holding plate 32, and side support plates 34 arranged at the other end of the horizontal holding plate 32. In some alternative embodiments, the horizontal holding plate 32 can be horizontally extended outward at the end of the first vertical fence 511.

[0038] The handle 3 can be formed from sheet metal by stamping or plastic by injection molding. Due to the unique nature of the molding process, the thickness of each part of the handle 3 must be kept to a minimum. Therefore, the handle 3 is implemented using multiple plate-like structures. The horizontal gripping plate 32, side support plates 33, and side support plates 34, along with the side walls of the first steaming rack assembly 2 or the second steaming rack assembly 5, form a downward-opening groove. The central space within this groove provides a gripping space. The ends of the side support plates 33 are connected to the outer wall and side support plates 34, respectively. The height of the side support plates 33 gradually decreases from their base to the side support plates 34. The height of the side support plates 34 should not be too high. If the side support plates 34 are too high, the user's fingers will not be able to fully contact the horizontal gripping plate 32 when grasping the handle 3. This will concentrate the load at the connection between the side support plates 34, making them more susceptible to breakage or damage, and may even cause food to spill and burn the user. This is also the significance of setting the height of the side support plate 33 to change linearly. While ensuring that the user can have a good grip and low manufacturing cost, the load-bearing capacity of the entire handle 3 structure and the stability of the handle 3 are improved.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, at least one downwardly recessed gripping groove 32 may be provided on the upper surface of the horizontal gripping plate 32 to enhance the user's grip stability on the handle 3 or improve the user's gripping experience when gripping the handle 3. The handle 3 may be provided on the outer wall of the first steaming rack assembly 2 or the second steaming rack assembly 5, or on the outer walls of both the first steaming rack assembly 2 and the second steaming rack assembly 5. It should be noted that the handles 3 are typically provided in pairs, i.e., generally, two handles 3 are provided on either side of the first steaming rack assembly 2 and / or on either side of the second steaming rack assembly 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, a fourth vertical barrier 526 is further provided. The other end of the second steaming rack assembly 5 extends downward to form the fourth vertical barrier 526. A gap is formed between the fourth vertical barrier 526 and the steamer panel 7. The fourth vertical barrier 526 protects the user's hands and prevents burns caused by accidental contact of fingers with the steamer panel 7 while gripping the handle 3.

[0041] In the embodiment, the first steamer assembly 2 and the second steamer assembly 5 can be nested with each other, and the two adjacent steamer enclosure plates 7 can be nested with each other. There is a gap structure between the fourth vertical enclosure 526 and the second vertical enclosure 524, which is a groove-shaped assembly part 527 in the cross-sectional view. The vertical enclosure segment 212 of the first receiving plate 21 in the first steamer assembly 2 can be nested in the assembly part 527. The purpose of such arrangement is to pack the components into the turnover packaging box in a nested manner during product packaging, so as to reduce the packaging volume, increase the transportation capacity of the unit container, and reduce the transportation cost. In some optional embodiments, the first vertical enclosure 511 of the second receiving plate 51 of the second steamer assembly 5 can also be nested in the assembly part 527. When there are multiple second steamer assemblies 5 in the components of the product, the foregoing design can greatly reduce the product volume.

[0042] In the embodiment, the steaming tray 6 comprises a cavity 61 formed by sinking the middle part, a plurality of receiving protrusions 63, and a gas passing hole 62 arranged between the adjacent two receiving protrusions 63.
