Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking appliance technology, and in particular to a partitioned steamer. Background Technology

[0002] An electric steamer is a small kitchen appliance that uses electric heating to directly heat food and steam ingredients. Electric steamers typically feature multi-layered food racks, allowing for the simultaneous steaming of multiple items. They are now mainly used in homes, restaurants, canteens, and eateries for steaming or stewing fish, shrimp, poultry, eggs, meat, and pasta dishes. Due to their convenience and time-saving advantages, electric steamers are increasingly favored by more and more families.

[0003] When using existing electric steamers, the drip tray needs to be placed inside the steamer first, and then the steaming tray or rack is placed on top of the drip tray. If the drip tray is not properly installed and its position is offset, it will affect the position of the steaming tray or rack. Therefore, the common solution is to add a limiting structure to the outer shell of the steamer to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed. During use, the user needs to align the drip tray with the limiting structure on the outer shell of the steamer to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed. Since both the drip tray and the steamer body are non-transparent structures, it is difficult to observe the internal installation status. Therefore, even with the addition of a limiting structure to the steamer body, it is still difficult to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a partitioned steamer.

[0005] This application provides a partitioned steamer, including a pot body and a drip tray located at the bottom edge of the pot body. The pot body is provided with a partition plate, and the lower surface of the drip tray is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove at a position corresponding to the partition plate, and snaps into the partition plate.

[0006] The lower surface of the juice receiving tray is provided with a foolproof structure, which is located on at least one side of the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove; the foolproof structure extends from one side of the snap-fit ​​groove toward the side wall of the juice receiving tray to form a protrusion; or, the foolproof structure includes a protrusion located on the lower surface of the juice receiving tray, and the distance between the protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove is less than the width of the partition plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the protrusion is disposed below the top surface of the partition plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the lower surface of the protrusion is configured as an inclined guide surface, the guide surface being inclined upward in a direction close to the snap-fit ​​groove, and one end of the guide surface being directly connected to the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0009] In some embodiments, the protrusion includes a first rib protruding from the lower surface of the drip tray.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first rib is disposed along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the drip tray is recessed downward on at least one side of the slot in the width direction to form the protrusion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the drip tray is provided with two spaced-apart second ribs, and the snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the two second ribs.

[0013] In some embodiments, the number of protrusions is two, the two protrusions are spaced apart, and the opposing surfaces of the two protrusions form the inner sidewall of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drip tray is recessed downward to form a recessed area and a flange disposed around the recessed area, and the protrusion is formed in the recessed area.

[0015] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove, the distance between the end of the protrusion away from the snap-fit ​​groove and the first edge of the recessed area is L, and the distance between the outer side wall of the corresponding side of the snap-fit ​​groove and the first edge of the recessed area is M, where M>2L; the first edge of the recessed area is the edge of the side of the recessed area opposite to the second end.

[0016] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] The partitioned steamer provided in this application embodiment has a foolproof structure on at least one side of the locking groove. When the drip tray is not properly installed (i.e., the locking groove is not aligned with the partition plate), the foolproof structure will interfere with the partition plate, causing the drip tray to be lifted and noticeably tilted, indicating to the user that the drip tray is not installed correctly. Even if the internal installation status cannot be observed during assembly, the user can clearly perceive whether the drip tray is properly installed. The operation is simple, and there is no need to worry about installation errors. This improves the convenience of drip tray assembly and the safety of using the partitioned steamer. Furthermore, the foolproof structure extends from one side of the snap-fit ​​groove towards the side wall of the drip tray to form a protrusion; alternatively, the foolproof structure includes a protrusion on the lower surface of the drip tray, the distance between the protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove being less than the width of the partition plate. That is, one end of the protrusion can directly abut against the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove, or there may be a gap between the protrusion and the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove, but this gap prevents the partition plate from engaging. In other words, even if the drip tray is slightly misaligned along the width of the snap-fit ​​groove, the protrusion will still interfere with the partition plate, indicating that the drip tray is not properly installed. The fact that the protrusion can directly abut against the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove or have a gap with it provides different mating relationships between the protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove, making the design of the protrusion more flexible and enriching the options for the protrusion's molding process.

[0018] In some embodiments, when the juice tray is assembled, the divider plate engages with the slot. At this time, the lower surface of the protrusion is lower than the top surface of the divider plate. Therefore, if the juice tray is not assembled correctly, the lower surface of the protrusion will interfere with the top surface of the divider plate, causing the juice tray to be lifted, prompting the user to adjust the position of the juice tray.

[0019] In some embodiments, an inclined guide surface is provided on the lower surface of the protrusion. When the juice tray is not assembled properly and the protrusion interferes with the partition plate, the partition plate slides into the snap-fit ​​groove along the guide surface under the action of gravity, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the juice tray.

[0020] In some embodiments, the protrusion is implemented by a first rib protruding from the lower surface of the drip tray, providing a foolproof structure with a simple molding method and low production cost. Furthermore, it does not affect the size of the cavity between the lower surface of the drip tray and the lower surface of the pot body, and does not reduce the space of the heating chamber.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first rib is provided along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove, which ensures the range of error prevention and improves the utilization rate of the protrusion in the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0022] In some embodiments, the protrusion is formed by recessing the drip tray downwards, eliminating the need for additional structures on the drip tray. It can be formed by stamping, casting, or molding, without increasing material costs, and at the same time increases the distance between the drip tray and the upper steaming tray or steaming rack, thus expanding the capacity of the drip tray.

[0023] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​groove is formed by providing a second rib on the lower surface of the drip tray, which is a simple process with low cost.

[0024] In some embodiments, two protrusions are provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove in the width direction, and the snap-fit ​​groove is defined by the surfaces of the snap-fit ​​groove that are arranged opposite to each other. No additional structure is needed to form the snap-fit ​​groove, which is simple in process and low in cost.

[0025] In some embodiments, the drip tray is designed with a recessed area and a flared edge. On the one hand, the flared edge can better fit the rim of the pot, and on the other hand, the recessed area increases the distance between the drip tray and the upper steaming tray or steaming rack, thereby increasing the capacity of the drip tray.

[0026] In some embodiments, the distance between the end of the protrusion away from the snap-fit ​​groove and the first edge of the recessed area is less than half the distance between the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove and the first edge of the recessed area, ensuring that there is a foolproof structure at more than half the distance between the first edge and the snap-fit ​​groove, thus avoiding the problem of insignificant foolproof effect due to the shortness of the foolproof structure.

[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this application that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0044] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0045] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the "above" or "below" of the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0046] When using existing electric steamers, the drip tray needs to be placed inside the steamer first, and then the steaming tray or rack is placed on top of the drip tray. If the drip tray is not properly installed and its position is offset, it will affect the position of the steaming tray or rack. Therefore, the common solution is to add a limiting structure to the outer shell of the steamer to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed. During use, the user needs to align the drip tray with the limiting structure on the outer shell of the steamer to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed. Since both the drip tray and the steamer body are non-transparent structures, it is difficult to observe the internal installation status. Therefore, even with the addition of a limiting structure to the steamer body, it is still difficult to ensure that the drip tray is properly installed.

[0047] In the publicly available technologies, the limiting structure is only used in single-zone steamers, while the related technologies for multi-zone steamers have not yet disclosed designs to prevent improper assembly.

[0048] Therefore, this application provides a partitioned steamer with a foolproof structure on the drip tray. When the drip tray is not properly assembled, the foolproof structure interferes with the partition plate inside the steamer, reminding the user that it is not properly assembled, so that the user can adjust the position of the drip tray in time.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 11As shown, the partitioned steamer provided in this application embodiment includes a pot body 1 and a drip tray 2 located at the bottom of the rim 102 of the pot body 1. A partition plate 101 is provided inside the pot body 1. A snap-fit ​​groove 201 is provided on the lower surface of the drip tray 2 at a position corresponding to the partition plate 101. The snap-fit ​​groove 201 snaps into the partition plate 101. The lower surface of the drip tray 2 is also provided with a foolproof structure 202. The foolproof structure 202 is provided on at least one side of the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The foolproof structure 202 extends from one end of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 toward the side wall of the drip tray 2 to form a protrusion. Alternatively, the foolproof structure 202 includes a protrusion on the lower surface of the drip tray 2. The distance between the protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is less than the width of the partition plate 101. Specifically, the foolproof structure 202 has one end close to the snap-fit ​​groove 201 and a second end away from the snap-fit ​​groove 201. In the width direction along the snap-fit ​​groove 201, the distance between the first end and the outer wall of the side corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is greater than or equal to zero and less than the width of the partition plate 101 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 201.

[0050] It should be noted that "closer" and "farther" are relative terms. "Closer" refers to the two ends of an object along a certain direction, with one end closer to or farther from the other than the other. For example, in some embodiments of this application, the foolproof structure 202 is located on one or both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 in the width direction. The first end of the foolproof structure 202 is closer to the snap-fit ​​groove 201 than the second end, and the second end is farther from the snap-fit ​​groove 201 than the first end.

[0051] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the partition plate 101 is a flat plate structure formed inside the pot body 1. The partition plate 101 is vertically arranged inside the pot body 1, dividing the internal space of the pot body 1 into two heating chambers 103 on the left and right. These two heating chambers 103 are used to install heating components. When the drip tray 2 is assembled onto the pot body 1, the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is sealed with the partition plate 101. The two heating chambers 103 are independent of each other. At least two layers of steaming trays 3 or steaming racks are arranged above the drip tray 2. The two heating chambers 103 heat the at least two layers of steaming trays 3 or steaming racks through independent channels. By controlling the heating time and heating power of the heating components in the two heating chambers 103, independent heating and independent temperature control can be achieved for the at least two layers of steaming trays 3 or steaming racks.

[0052] It should be noted that a drip tray 2 is provided below each layer of steaming tray 3 or steaming rack. The drip tray 3 of the bottom layer can be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 201 and a foolproof structure 202. A pot lid 4 is provided above the top layer of steaming tray 4 or steaming rack. The pot lid 4 and the top layer of steaming tray 3 or steaming rack cooperate to form a steaming cavity. A steaming cavity is also formed between two adjacent layers of steaming tray 3 or steaming rack. Each steaming cavity can be independently heated and independently temperature controlled by the heating components in the two heating chambers 103.

[0053] The foolproof structure 202 protrudes from the lower surface of the drip tray 2, forming a raised portion. When the drip tray 2 is properly assembled with the pot body 1, the locking groove 201 on the drip tray 2 engages precisely with the partition plate 101 inside the pot body 1. If the drip tray 2 shifts during installation, the locking groove 201 and the partition plate 101 become misaligned. The partition plate 101 cannot accurately engage with the locking groove 201 and instead interferes with the foolproof structure 202 located on at least one side of the locking groove 201. The drip tray 2 is then lifted up, resulting in a noticeable tilt, indicating to the user that the drip tray 2 is not properly installed. Even if the internal installation status cannot be observed during assembly, the user can clearly perceive whether the drip tray 2 is properly assembled. The operation is simple, and there is no need to worry about installation errors. This improves the convenience of assembling the drip tray 2 and the safety of using the partitioned steamer. Furthermore, the distance between the first end of the anti-mistake structure 202 and the outer wall of the corresponding side of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is greater than or equal to zero and less than the width of the partition plate 101. This means that the first end of the anti-mistake structure 202 directly abuts against the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, or there is a gap between the anti-mistake structure 202 and the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, but this gap is insufficient to allow the partition plate 101 to engage. In other words, even if the drip tray 2 is slightly offset along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, the anti-mistake structure 202 will still interfere with the partition plate 101, indicating that the drip tray 2 is not properly installed. The fact that the anti-mistake structure 202 can directly abut against the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 or have a gap with it provides different mating relationships between the anti-mistake structure 202 and the snap-fit ​​groove 201, making the design of the anti-mistake structure 202 more flexible and enriching the selection of molding processes for the anti-mistake structure 202.

[0054] For example, when assembling the juice tray 2, the length direction of the locking groove 201 usually faces the user, and the width direction of the locking groove 201 is the user's left-right direction; Figures 9 to 11As shown, when the anti-foolproof structure 202 is only installed on the left side of the snap-fit ​​slot 201, the juice tray 2 shifts to the right during assembly, and the snap-fit ​​slot 201 is located slightly to the right above the partition plate 101. At this time, the anti-foolproof structure 202 is located directly above the partition plate 101, and the anti-foolproof structure 202 interferes with the partition plate 101, which will lift the juice tray 2, causing the juice tray 2 to tilt, indicating to the user that it is not installed correctly. When the anti-foolproof structure 202 is only installed on the right side of the snap-fit ​​slot 201, the juice tray 2 shifts to the left during assembly, and the snap-fit ​​slot 201 is located slightly to the right above the partition plate 101. Positioned slightly to the left above the partition plate 101, the foolproof mechanism is located directly above the partition plate 101. The foolproof structure 202 interferes with the partition plate 101, lifting the juice tray 2 and causing it to tilt, indicating to the user that it is not installed correctly. When foolproof structures 202 are installed on both the left and right sides of the slot 201, regardless of whether the juice tray 2 shifts to the left or right during assembly, the foolproof structure 202 will interfere with the partition plate 101, lifting the juice tray 2 and causing it to tilt, indicating to the user that it is not installed correctly.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, when the juice tray 2 is assembled in place, that is, when the snap-fit ​​groove 201 engages with the partition plate 101, the lower surface of the foolproof structure 202 is lower than the top surface of the partition plate 101. In this way, if the juice tray 2 is not properly assembled, the foolproof structure 202 will interfere with the partition plate 101 to ensure that the foolproof structure 202 can function, causing the juice tray 2 to be lifted, prompting the user to adjust the position of the juice tray 2.

[0056] Combination Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the lower surface of the foolproof structure 202 is configured as an inclined guide surface 2021. The guide surface 2021 is inclined upward in the direction close to the snap-fit ​​groove 201, and one end of the guide surface 2021 is connected to the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. Specifically, the inclined surface has a third end close to the snap-fit ​​groove 201 and a fourth end away from the snap-fit ​​groove 201 in the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The fourth end is disposed close to the first end, and the third end coincides with the first end. The guide surface 2021 is gradually inclined upward from the fourth end to the third end, that is, the height of the foolproof structure 202 gradually decreases in the direction from the fourth end to the third end. When the juice tray 2 is not properly assembled and the guide surface 2021 interferes with the partition plate 101, the partition plate 101 slides into the locking groove 201 along the guide surface 2021 under the action of gravity. This avoids repeatedly lifting and moving the juice tray 2 left and right to align the locking groove 201 with the partition plate 101, thus improving the assembly efficiency of the juice tray 2.

[0057] Combination Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the foolproof structure 202 includes a first rib 202a protruding from the lower surface of the drip tray 2. The first rib 202a is a long strip of sheet material, providing a foolproof structure 202 with a relatively simple molding method and low production cost. Furthermore, it does not affect the size of the cavity between the lower surface of the drip tray 2 and the lower surface of the pot body 1, and does not reduce the space size of the heating chamber 103.

[0058] The first protruding rib 202a is disposed on one or both sides of the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The first protruding rib 202a can be curved or straight along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, and can be disposed along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 or at a certain angle to the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. In some embodiments of this application, the first protruding rib 202a is disposed along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, which ensures the range of error prevention and improves the utilization rate of the error prevention structure 202.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the anti-foolproof structure 202 can also be formed by recessing the juice tray 2 downwards. The recessed area is formed on at least one side of the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. It can be that the juice tray 2 is recessed as a whole on at least one side of the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, or it can be partially recessed.

[0060] For example, in combination Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, recessed surfaces 202b are formed by simultaneously recessing downwards on both sides of the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The dimension of the recessed surface 202b along the length direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is equal to the length of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, ultimately forming a foolproof structure 202 with a large flat bottom. The overall recessed design increases the distance between the drip tray 2 and the upper steaming tray 3 or steaming rack, thus expanding the capacity of the drip tray 2. In other embodiments of this application, the dimension of the recessed area 21 along the length direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 can also be very small, resulting in a small, elongated flat bottom surface of the foolproof structure 202. By forming the foolproof structure 202 through a downward recess, no additional structure needs to be added to the drip tray 2. It can be formed by stamping, casting, or molding, without increasing material costs.

[0061] Combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the lower surface of the juice receiving tray 2 is provided with two spaced-apart second ribs 20, and a snap-fit ​​groove 201 is formed between the two second ribs 20. The second ribs 20 are elongated strips protruding from the lower surface of the juice receiving tray 2, and the two second ribs 20 form the two sidewalls of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. The lower surface of the juice receiving tray 2 located between the two second ribs 20 forms the bottom wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201. By setting the second ribs 20 to form the snap-fit ​​groove 201, the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the card slot 201 can also be defined in other ways. For example, two foolproof structures 202 can be provided, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the card slot 201. The surfaces of the two foolproof structures 202 that are disposed opposite each other define the card slot 201. Taking the form of a first protrusion 202a as an example, two first protrusions 202a are provided at intervals in the left-right direction (width direction of the card slot 201). The surfaces of the two first protrusions 202a that are disposed opposite each other form the side wall of the card slot 201. The lower surface of the drip tray 2 located between the two first protrusions 202a forms the bottom wall of the card slot 201. The card slot 201 formed in this way does not require additional structure, but is defined by the setting of the foolproof structure 202, which makes the structure simpler and the cost lower.

[0063] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the drip tray 2 is recessed downwards to form a recessed area 21 and a flange 22 surrounding the recessed area 21. A foolproof structure 202 is formed in the recessed area 21. Specifically, the recessed area 21 is generally rectangular in shape, and the flange 22 is formed at the four edges of the recessed area 21 and is continuously arranged around the four edges of the recessed area 21. When the drip tray 2 is assembled in place, the flange 22 engages with the rim 102 at the upper end of the pot body 1, and the recessed area 21 sinks into the pot body 1. On the one hand, the flange 22 can better engage with the rim 102 of the pot body 1; on the other hand, the recessed area 21 also increases the distance between the drip tray 2 and the upper steaming tray 3 or steaming rack, thereby increasing the capacity of the drip tray 2.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, along the width direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 201, the distance between the second end and the first edge of the recessed area 21 is L, and the distance between the corresponding outer side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 and the first edge of the recessed area 21 is M, where M>2L; the first edge of the recessed area 21 is the edge of the side of the recessed area 21 opposite to the second end.

[0065] Taking the foolproof structure 202 on the right side of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 as an example, the first edge of the recessed area 21 is the right edge of the recessed area 21. The distance between the second end of the foolproof structure 202 and the right edge of the recessed area 21 is L, where L≥0. The distance between the outer wall of the right side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 and the right edge of the recessed area 21 is M, where M>2L. The second end of the foolproof structure 202 should extend as far as possible to the first edge of the recessed area 21, that is, the foolproof structure 202 should cover one side of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 as much as possible. If the drip tray 2 is misaligned during assembly, it can alert the user.

[0066] The distance between the second end of the anti-mistake structure 202 and the first edge of the recessed area 21 is less than half the distance between the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 and the first edge of the recessed area 21. This ensures that the anti-mistake structure 202 is present at more than half of the distance between the first edge and the snap-fit ​​groove 201, thus avoiding the problem of insignificant anti-mistake effect due to the short anti-mistake structure 202.

[0067] In summary, the partitioned steamer provided in this application embodiment has a foolproof structure 202 on at least one side of the locking groove 201. When the drip tray 2 is not properly assembled, the foolproof structure 202 interferes with the partition plate 101 inside the pot body 1, causing the drip tray 2 to tilt and prompting the user that the drip tray 2 is not properly assembled. Even if the internal installation status cannot be observed during assembly, the user can clearly perceive whether the drip tray 2 is properly assembled. The operation is simple, and there is no need to worry about installation errors, thus improving the convenience of assembling the drip tray 2 and the safety of using the partitioned steamer.
