TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric rice cookers, in particular to a plastic shell for small household appliances. BACKGROUND
[0002] Plastic shells for small household appliances play a crucial role in modern home life. They not only provide the function of protecting internal mechanical components, but also directly affect the product's aesthetics, durability, and user experience.
[0003] Chinese patent application number 202021492276.3 provides a plastic shell for small household appliances. This scheme places a weight on the placing plate to conduct pressure to the shock-absorbing spring. The shock-absorbing spring presses down to transmit the vibration to the spring base. Then, the pulling rod pulls the longitudinal spring inside the shock-absorbing box to slow down the vibration. This achieves the effect of reducing vibration of different amplitudes during movement according to road conditions. However, during the cooking process, household electric rice cookers produce a large amount of water vapor. This water vapor often adheres to the cover plate of the electric rice cooker. When the rice is cooked, the adhering water vapor will flow out when the cover plate is opened. Not only does it wet the surrounding environment, but it also requires the user to manually clean it, increasing the inconvenience of cleaning the cover plate.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a plastic shell for small household appliances. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0007] The water vapor removal component is used to remove water vapor adhering to the inside of the cover close to the electric rice cooker inner container during the rice steaming process of the electric rice cooker. The water vapor removal component includes adsorbent cotton. The adsorbent cotton is fixedly arranged on the side of the cover close to the electric rice cooker. A guide groove is formed on the side of the cover plate close to the adsorbent cotton. The guide groove is in communication with the adsorbent cotton. A storage groove is formed on the inner wall of the electric rice cooker shell. A storage box is slidingly arranged on the inner wall of the storage groove. A flow-through groove is formed on the inner wall of the cover plate. The flow-through groove is in communication with the storage groove.
[0008] Further, the adsorbent cotton has a multi-layer structure, including at least one hydrophilic layer and one hydrophobic layer. The hydrophilic layer is used to absorb water vapor, and the hydrophobic layer is used to prevent water from penetrating into other parts of the adsorbent cotton or the inner wall of the cover.
[0009] Further, the guide groove is long strip-shaped, and the extension direction of the guide groove is consistent with the opening direction of the cover body.
[0010] Further, the storage box has a detachable structure, the detachable structure comprises an elastic member, the elastic member is fixedly arranged on the surface of the storage box, and the elastic member is clamped with the storage groove.
[0011] Further, the outer wall of the inner container of the electric rice cooker is provided with a heat insulation layer, so as to reduce the heat transfer to the outer shell of the electric rice cooker.
[0012] Further, the cover body is further provided with a touch panel for observing the cooking condition in the electric rice cooker.
[0013] Further, the bottom of the outer shell of the electric rice cooker is provided with an anti-skid pad.
[0014] Further, the inner wall of the outer shell of the electric rice cooker is further provided with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor for monitoring the temperature and humidity in the electric rice cooker in real time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The utility model will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0025] Wherein same parts are indicated by same reference numerals. It should be noted that the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the words "bottom surface" and "top surface", "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a particular component.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the drawing, it is a plastic shell for small household appliance in the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and the unique feature is that a water vapor removing component 4 is designed to effectively deal with the problem of hot air adhesion generated during the rice steaming process of the electric rice cooker. The electric rice cooker inner container 2 is slidably arranged inside the electric rice cooker shell 1, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement. The cover body 3 is rotatably installed on one side of the electric rice cooker shell 1, which is convenient for opening and closing.
[0027] The water vapor removing component 4 is composed of multi-layer adsorbing cotton 5, including a hydrophilic layer and a hydrophobic layer, which are respectively used for adsorption and prevention of water penetration. The cover body 3 is provided with a long strip-shaped guide groove 6 on the side close to the adsorbing cotton 5, which is in communication with the adsorbing cotton 5, so as to guide the water vapor to flow to the storage groove 7. The inner wall of the electric rice cooker shell 1 is provided with the storage groove 7, and the detachable storage box 8 is slidably installed in the storage groove 7. The storage box 8 is clamped with the storage groove 7 through the elastic member 9, which is convenient for cleaning. The inner wall of the cover body 3 is also provided with the flow-through groove 111, which is in communication with the storage groove 7, so as to ensure that the water vapor can be smoothly discharged.
[0028] During the rice steaming process of the electric rice cooker, the generated hot air will adhere to the inside of the cover body 3. At this time, the hydrophilic layer of the adsorbing cotton 5 will quickly adsorb these water vapors to prevent them from condensing into water droplets. With the progress of the rice steaming process, the adsorbing cotton 5 gradually saturates. When the cover body 3 is opened, due to the guidance of the guide groove 6, the water vapor in the adsorbing cotton 5 will flow along the guide groove 6 to the storage groove 7, and then enter the storage box 8 through the flow-through groove 111. The user can easily detach the storage box 8 after using the electric rice cooker to clean the water and impurities in it.
[0029] Not only effectively solve the problem of water vapor attachment in the process of rice steaming, but also improve the cleanliness and service life of the electric rice cooker, at the same time, the design of the detachable storage box 8 makes the cleaning work more convenient, improves the user experience.
