Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rice steamer, specifically a rice steamer with a waterproof steam dripping function, belonging to the technical field of rice steamers. Background Technology

[0002] Rice steamers are a type of catering equipment that uses the principle of heating water to generate steam to process food, such as rice. Once set, they can automatically steam and cook food, greatly saving time and effort in monitoring and processing.

[0003] When water vapor encounters a cool surface, it forms water droplets. When these droplets fall onto rice, they create small puddles, affecting both the overall appearance and the final food quality. Current technology uses movable sponge rods inside rice steamers to absorb water droplets from the top of the steamer during cooking, preventing them from dripping. However, these devices rely solely on the sponge rods for absorption and lack a mechanism to squeeze and drain the water. This means the sponge rods need to be disassembled, cleaned, and replaced after a period of use, increasing the frequency of cleaning and making them cumbersome. Therefore, we provide a rice steamer with a waterproof steam drip function to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a rice steamer with a waterproof steam dripping function. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This rice steamer with waterproof steam drip function utilizes the cooperation between the water-absorbing sponge rod, threaded rod, and scraper. The threaded rod drives the mounting rod to move inside the rice steamer body, which in turn moves the water-absorbing sponge rod. The contact between the water-absorbing sponge rod and the top wall of the rice steamer body absorbs the generated water droplets, preventing water droplets from falling from the steam. When the water-absorbing sponge rod moves into the processing chamber, it comes into contact with the scraper. The squeezing action of multiple sets of scrapers squeezes out the water collected inside the water-absorbing sponge rod, automatically cleaning it. This makes it more convenient to use and reduces the frequency of cleaning the water-absorbing sponge rod by squeezing out the water.

[0014] 2. This rice steamer with waterproof steam dripping function is equipped with gears and toothed plates. The rotation of the threaded rod can drive the installation rod to move. The installation rod can drive the gear to move inside the fixed frame. Through the meshing of the gear and toothed plate, the gear can rotate when it moves laterally, which can further drive the water-absorbing sponge rod to rotate, so that different areas on the water-absorbing sponge rod can absorb water, improving the efficiency of water absorption and improving the stability during use.
