In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0014] In the description of the utility model, it should be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, or integrally connected; can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection; can be directly connected, can also be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] For example, Figure 1As shown, the electric rice steamer preheating recovery system, the electric rice steamer includes a box 1, the box 1 is internally provided with a rice steaming chamber 2, the rice steaming chamber 2 is provided with a plurality of rice steaming trays 3, the lower end of the box 1 is provided with a steam chamber 4, the preheating recovery system includes a heat exchange chamber 5 arranged at the upper end of the box 1, the heat exchange chamber 5 is provided with a heat exchange pipe 6, one end of the heat exchange pipe 6 extends out of the box 1 to form an air outlet portion 7, the other end of the heat exchange pipe 6 is communicated with the rice steaming chamber 2, the box 1 is provided with a water feeding pipe 8 communicated with the heat exchange chamber 5, the heat exchange chamber 5 is communicated with the steam chamber 4 through a water outlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 9 is provided with an electric control valve 10, the steam chamber 4 is provided with an electric heater 11, the steam chamber 4 and the rice steaming chamber 2 are provided with a gas hole plate 12, the gas hole plate 12 is provided with a plurality of gas holes 13. The water in the steam chamber 4 is heated by the electric heater 11 to form water vapor, the water vapor enters the rice steaming chamber 2 through the gas holes 13 to steam the food in the steam chamber 4. The air pressure in the rice steaming chamber 2 gradually increases, the water vapor enters the heat exchange pipe 6, and is discharged from the air outlet portion 7, and exchanges heat with the water in the heat exchange chamber 5 in the heat exchange pipe 6, so that the water in the heat exchange chamber 5 is preheated. The preheated water in the heat exchange chamber 5 enters the steam chamber 4 from the water outlet pipe 9.

[0016] Further, the upper end of the box 1 is provided with a water collecting bucket 14, the lower end of the water collecting bucket 14 is connected with a water return pipe 15, the water return pipe 15 is communicated with the steam chamber 4, the upper end of the water collecting bucket 14 is covered with a pressure cover 16, the periphery of the pressure cover 16 is provided with a plurality of air vents 17, and the air outlet portion 7 is located inside the water collecting bucket 14. The uncondensed water vapor flowing out of the air outlet portion 7 enters the water collecting bucket 14, is pressed by the pressure cover 16, continues to condense into water on the pressure cover 16, and is collected by the water collecting bucket 14. The water collected by the water collecting bucket 14 returns to the steam chamber 4 from the water return pipe 15. When the air pressure in the water collecting bucket 14 is not high, the air vents 17 are used for pressure relief. When the air pressure in the water collecting bucket 14 is too high, the pressure cover 16 can be automatically pushed open for pressure relief.

The liquid level gauge 19 reflects the water level state in the heat exchange chamber 5 in real time. When the water level in the heat exchange chamber 5 is too low or there is no water, the water at the natural temperature is supplemented into the heat exchange chamber 5 from the water feeding pipe 8 in time.

[0018] Further, the lower end of the water outlet pipe 9 is bent upwards to form a water storage portion 20, and then is bent downwards to communicate with the steam chamber 4. The water storage portion 20 can always store a part of water to prevent the water vapor in the steam chamber 4 from entering the water outlet pipe 9.

[0019] Further, the lower end of the backwater pipe 15 is communicated with the lower end of the steam chamber 4, and the upper end of the air outlet 7 is located at the middle position of the water collecting basin 14.

[0020] Further, the water collecting basin 14 and the pressure cover 16 are made of stainless steel or glass. The water collecting basin 14 and the pressure cover 16 are easy to clean and replace, and have good heat conductivity.

[0021] It is worth mentioning that the electric heater 11, the thermometer 18 and the liquid level meter 19 and other technical features involved in the utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control mode and spatial arrangement mode of these technical features can be selected by using the conventional selection in the field, and should not be regarded as the invention point of the utility model patent. The utility model patent will not be further expanded and described in detail.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes according to the concept of the utility model without creative labor. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment on the basis of the prior art according to the concept of the utility model should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
