Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a low-pressure electric rice cooker. [Background Technology]

[0002] Existing rice cookers close the lid to the inner pot while cooking rice, and the lid does not have a pressure relief valve. Therefore, when the gas pressure in the inner pot rises during the cooking process, it pushes the lid up. After the lid is pushed up to release pressure, it falls back onto the inner pot under the influence of gravity, causing a series of abnormal collision noises. At the same time, the inner pot is constantly depressurizing and pressurizing, making it difficult to cook the rice quickly and retain its nutrients. On the other hand, during the process of the lid being pushed up to release pressure, water vapor can leak out from the side of the lid, which can easily cause danger. [Utility Model Content]

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a low-pressure rice cooker includes a pot body 1, an inner pot 2, and a lid 3. The inner pot 2 is disposed inside the pot body 1, and a heating plate 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the pot body 1, which contacts the inner pot 2. The lid 3 is closed on the inner pot 2 and is provided with multiple pressure-relieving components 5. The pot body 1 is provided with two pot body handles 64, and the pot body handles 64 are provided with locking components 6 for pressing against the upper side of the lid 3 to lock the lid 3 onto the inner pot 2. During cooking, the lid 3 is locked onto the inner pot 2 by the locking components 6. During the cooking process, the heating plate 4 heats the inner pot 2, pressurizing it. When the pressure in the inner pot 2 reaches a certain level, the pressure is released outward through the pressure relief component 5. At this time, the inner pot 2 maintains a micro-pressure cooking state, which saves electricity and allows food to cook faster under micro-pressure, better preserving the nutrients in the food. It also makes the cooked food taste better, and the micro-pressure makes the rice grains fuller and softer, while also preserving the aroma of the rice and preventing the lid 3 from jumping.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the pot lid 3 is provided with two pressure relief components 5, and the two pressure relief components 5 are symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the pot lid 3, which can make the inner pot 2 release pressure evenly and better maintain a micro-pressure state.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the pressure relief assembly 5 includes a lid through-hole 51 on the lid 3 and a pressure relief cap 52 that covers and seals the lid through-hole 51. A pressure relief connecting pipe 53, extending into and passing through the lid through-hole 51, is connected to the lower side of the pressure relief cap 52. A stop 54, extending outwards to prevent the pressure relief connecting pipe 53 from disengaging from the lid through-hole 51, is provided on the lower side of the pressure relief connecting pipe 53. A pressure relief hole 55, communicating with the inner pot 2, is provided on the side of the pressure relief connecting pipe 53. When the pressure in the inner pot 2 reaches a certain level, the steam pushes the pressure relief cap 52 outwards, at which point the pressure relief connecting pipe 53 is pushed out, allowing the pressure relief hole 55 to communicate with the outside. Steam then releases pressure through the pressure relief hole 55, thereby maintaining the inner pot 2 in a low-pressure state.

[0027] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the locking assembly 6 includes a locking slider 61. The bottom surface of the locking slider 61 has a downwardly extending slider sliding portion 62. The side of the slider sliding portion 62 has an outwardly extending and laterally positioned slider guide portion 63. The upper side of the pot handle 64 has a handle groove 65 that cooperates with the slider sliding portion 62 to allow the locking slider 61 to slide and press against the pot lid 3. The side of the handle groove 65 has a guide slot 66 that cooperates with the slider guide portion 63 to guide the slider sliding portion 62 along the handle groove 65. After the pot lid 3 is closed onto the inner pot 2, pushing the locking slider 61 inward causes the slider sliding portion 62 and the slider guide portion 63 to slide inward along the handle groove 65 and guide slot 66 respectively, causing the locking slider 61 to press against the top surface of the pot lid 3, thus locking the pot lid 3 onto the inner pot 2. To unlock, pushing the locking slider 61 outward disengages it from the top surface of the pot lid 3.

[0028] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the front end of the bottom of the locking slider 61 is provided with a limiting block 610 that cooperates with the edge of the opening of the inner pot 2 to limit the maximum locking sliding position of the locking slider 61. When the locking slider 61 slides inward to the maximum position and presses against the locking lid 3, the limiting block 610 of the locking slider 61 cooperates with the edge of the opening of the inner pot 2 to prevent the locking slider 61 from continuing to slide inward.

[0029] like Figure 5-6 As shown, a handle groove 67 is provided on the upper side of the pot body handle 64, and a handle slide groove 65 is provided in the handle groove 67. The handle groove 67 is open to the inner pot side; the handle slide groove 65 is open to the inner pot 2 end, and the guide slot 66 is open to the inner pot 2 end, so that the locking slider 61 can be directly inserted through the side.

[0030] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the bottom surface of the locking slider 61 is provided with two spaced slider sliding parts 62, and the upper side of the pot handle 64 is provided with two handle grooves 65 that respectively cooperate with the two slider sliding parts 62, so that the locking slider 61 slides more stably on the pot handle 64 and applies sufficient pressure locking force to the pot lid 3.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper side of the locking slider 61 is provided with a slider recess 68, and the slider recess 68 is provided with anti-slip texture 69, which facilitates pushing the locking slider 61 to slide.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
