Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically a four-piece platter for a rice cooker steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cookers are essential kitchen appliances for steaming and cooking in daily life. Steaming trays are a common type of dish that can be placed inside the steamer basket of a rice cooker for steaming or reheating food. When steaming food in a rice cooker, because the steamer basket is cylindrical with a circular cross-section, if a common round steaming tray is used, the diameter of the tray is usually about half the cross-sectional diameter of the steamer basket. In order to place the tray smoothly inside the steamer basket, multiple trays cannot be placed inside. This not only limits the amount of food that can be steamed at one time, but also makes full use of the remaining space inside the steamer basket, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0031] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 1-7In one embodiment of this utility model, a four-piece steamer basket for a rice cooker includes a fan-shaped steaming tray 1 for holding food. The four steaming trays 1 are arranged in a circle. To save space, the outer arc edge of the steaming trays 1 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, allowing them to be stacked for storage. The radius of the fan-shaped cross-section of the steaming trays 1 is 2.5-3.5cm smaller than the inner radius of the steamer basket. Four steaming trays can be placed inside the steamer basket at once, making full use of the space inside the basket, increasing the amount of steamed or heated food that can be cooked at one time, and increasing the variety of foods that can be steamed simultaneously. This achieves full utilization of electricity and steam resources and avoids excessive steam generation. To prevent the waste of resources, the fan-shaped steaming tray 1 has a circular angle of 90°. The four steaming trays 1 are joined together to form a 360° circle. After the four steaming trays 1 are joined together, a circular cavity with a diameter of 2.5-3cm is reserved in the center for the trays to be placed and removed from the steamer. The bottom of the steaming tray 1 has multiple steam collecting chambers 11 for accumulating steam. The multiple steam collecting chambers 11 are circular groove-shaped structures with a depth of 0.5-1cm. The multiple steam collecting chambers 11 are irregularly distributed at the bottom of the steaming tray 1. During the steaming process, the multiple steam collecting chambers 11 can accumulate steam for a certain period of time, so that the steam is concentrated at the bottom of the steaming tray 1, which can improve the heating and heat preservation effect of the food.

[0033] Furthermore, a bottom edge 2 is fixed at the bottom of the steaming tray 1 at a distance of 1-1.5cm from the edge. Multiple steam collection chambers 11 are located inside the bottom edge 2. The thickness of the bottom edge 2 is 0.1-0.3cm greater than the thickness of the side wall of the steaming tray 1. Each radius and arc length side of the bottom edge 2 is provided with multiple downward-facing notches 21. The height of the notches 21 is less than the height of the bottom edge 2 to allow steam to circulate inside and outside the bottom edge 2, preventing steam from accumulating inside the bottom edge 2 and causing the steaming tray 1 to shake. At the same time, the bottom edge 2 facilitates the stacking of multiple steaming trays 1, which helps to save space occupied when storing the steaming trays 1.

[0034] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove 12 is provided at the bottom edge of the steaming tray 1 near the central corner, and a baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the steaming tray 1 near the central corner. A pick-and-place assembly 3 for picking up and placing the trays is provided at the center of the four steaming trays 1. The pick-and-place assembly 3 includes a base plate 31 that fits against the bottom of the four steaming trays 1. Four outer clamping plates 32 that penetrate into the groove 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 31. Four inner clamping plates 33 located inside the outer clamping plates 32 are also fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 31. The inner clamping plates 33 fit against the outer arc wall of the steaming tray 1 near the central corner. A retractable lifting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base plate 31. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom edge 2 is similar to that of the steaming tray 1. Similarly, the slot 12 is located on the outside of the bottom edge 2 and the distance between the two is 0.5-0.8cm. The depth of the slot 12 is the same as the height of the outer card plate 32. When the outer card plate 32 is engaged in the slot 12, the connection between the two can be made more secure. The top of the inner card plate 33 is attached to the bottom of the baffle 13. The baffle 13 provides a stable support point for the inner card plate 33. The top of the lifting rod 34 is fixed with a horizontal handle for hand gripping. The entire pick-and-place assembly 3 is held by gripping the handle at the top of the lifting rod 34. The lifting rod 34 is telescopic. When the handle is lifted upward, the lifting rod 34 is stretched to increase the distance between the hand and the steaming tray, so as to avoid the arm being burned by the steaming tray and improve the flexibility and practicality of use in real life.

[0035] In this embodiment, when steaming vegetables using a steamer, firstly, the four steaming trays 1 are respectively secured to the pick-and-place component 3. Specifically, the slots 12 at the bottom of the steaming trays 1 are fastened to the outer retaining plate 32 in the pick-and-place component 3, so that the top of the inner retaining plate 33 is against the edge of the steaming tray 1 and touches the bottom of the baffle 13. Then, the vegetables are placed in the four different steaming trays 1. Finally, holding the handle at the top of the lifting rod 34, the four upper steaming trays 1 secured to the pick-and-place component 3 are placed into the steamer, with the edges of the four steaming trays approximately 0.5-0.8 cm from the edge of the steamer. The handle is then released and... Once the lifting rod 34 retracts to the point where it does not obstruct the steamer lid, steaming can begin. During the steaming process, the multiple steam collection chambers 11 at the bottom of the steaming tray 1 can accumulate steam for a certain period of time, allowing the steam to concentrate at the bottom of the steaming tray 1, which can improve the heating and heat preservation effect of the food. Multiple notches 21 are provided on the bottom rim 2 of the steaming tray 1 to facilitate the flow of steam and prevent the steam from accumulating on the inside of the bottom rim 2 and causing the steaming tray 1 to shake. At the same time, the bottom rim 2 facilitates the stacking of multiple steaming trays 1, which helps to save the space occupied by the steaming trays 1 when storing them.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
