[0042] As Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a rice humidifier 100, which relates to the technical field of catering equipment and is mainly used for humidifying rice. Of course, it can also be used for humidifying noodles, rice noodles and other common staple foods. The application range of the rice humidifier 100 is not limited here. In order to facilitate the description of the beneficial effects, the following will take rice as an example for description.

[0043] In combinationFigure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rice humidifier 100 provided in this embodiment includes: a humidifier body 110, a heating element 120, a heating element 130, a water tank 140, and an air outlet 150.

[0044] The humidifier body 110 is provided with an air vent 1111 and a water channel 1112. The heating element 120 is disposed inside the humidifier body 110 and is provided with a heating groove 121. The heating groove 121 is connected to the air vent 1111 and the water channel 1112 respectively. The heating element 130 is connected to the heating element 120 and is used to generate heat and transfer heat to the heating element 120. The water tank 140 is disposed on the humidifier body 110 and is used to add water into the water channel 1112. The air outlet 150 is connected to the humidifier body 110 and defines an air outlet channel 153 that communicates with the air vent 1111, and is provided with an air outlet 154 that communicates with the air outlet channel 153.

[0045] For example, the heating element 120 can be a component with good thermal conductivity, such as an aluminum heating plate or a stainless steel heating plate. The heating element 130 can be a component capable of generating heat, such as a heating core or a heating wire. No specific limitations are made on the types of heating elements 120 and 130 here.

[0046] It is understood that when using the rice humidifier 100 provided in this embodiment, water is added to the water channel 1112 through the water tank 140. The water channel 1112 introduces the water into the heating tank 121 of the heating element 120. The heating element 130 generates heat and transfers the heat to the heating element 120, causing the heating element 120 to heat up. After heating up, the heating element 120 heats and evaporates the water into water vapor through the heating tank 121. The water vapor enters the air outlet channel 153 of the air outlet 150 from the air vent 1111 and is finally discharged from the air outlet 154 of the air outlet 150. The water vapor acts on the rice to increase the humidity of the rice, thereby improving the taste of the rice after it is served.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the water tank 140 includes a tank body 141, a tank cover 142, and a control valve 143. The tank body 141 has a water storage chamber 1411, the tank cover 142 is connected to the tank body 141, and is provided with a water outlet 1421 that communicates with the water storage chamber 1411 and the water guide channel 1112 respectively. The control valve 143 is used to open or close the water outlet 1421.

[0048] Understandably, by setting the control valve 143, it is convenient to open the water outlet 1421 when it is necessary to humidify the rice, and convenient to close the water outlet 1421 when it is not necessary to heat the rice.

[0049] As shown in Figures 7 to 9 Further, the control valve 143 comprises a valve film 1431, an elastic member 1432 and a valve core 1433. The valve film 1431 is arranged at the water outlet 1421. The valve core 1433 is arranged through the water outlet 1421 and connected with the valve film 1431. The valve core 1433 is used to move along the direction close to or away from the box body 141. The elastic member 1432 is connected between the valve core 1433 and the box cover 142.

[0050] Exemplarily, the elastic member 1432 can be a spring, a spring sheet or other element capable of generating elastic force, which is not specifically limited here. When the elastic member 1432 is a spring, the spring can be sleeved on the valve core 1433, so as to save space and make the structure of the control valve 143 more compact.

[0051] It should be noted that the valve film 1431 has elasticity and can open the water outlet 1421 under the action of external force. After losing the external force, the valve film 1431 can be elastically reset to close the water outlet 1421.

[0052] It can be understood that in the working state, the valve core 1433 moves along the direction close to the box body 141 to drive the valve film 1431 to open the water outlet 1421, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the water outlet amount of the water tank 140 and the addition of water into the heating groove 121 for the heating element 120 to heat and evaporate the water into water vapor. In the non-working state, the elastic member 1432 drives the valve core 1433 to move along the direction away from the box body 141 to drive the valve film 1431 to close the water outlet 1421.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the humidifier body 110 comprises a first shell 111 and a second shell 112 connected together, and the first shell 111 and the second shell 112 jointly define a containing cavity 113. The first shell 111 is provided with an air inlet 1111 and a water guide channel 1112. The air outlet element 150 and the water tank 140 are respectively connected to the first shell 111. The heating element 120 is located in the containing cavity 113 and is sealingly connected to the first shell 111.

[0054] It can be understood that the first shell 111 is arranged to facilitate the assembly of the heating element 120, the air outlet element 150 and the water tank 140. By sealingly connecting the heating element 120 to the first shell 111, the risk of water or water vapor leaking from the gap between the first shell 111 and the heating element 120 can be reduced.

[0055] As shown in Figures 4 to 6 Further, the rice humidifier 100 further comprises a sealing element 161 located in the containing cavity 113. The sealing element 161 is arranged along the circumference of the air inlet 1111 and abuts between the first shell 111 and the heating element 120.

[0056] Exemplarily, the sealing member 161 can be a silica gel sealing ring, a rubber sealing ring, a sponge sealing ring, or the like, which has an elastic sealing effect, and is not specifically limited here.

[0057] It can be understood that, by arranging the sealing member 161 along the circumference of the air vent 1111, that is, arranging the sealing member 161 around the air vent 1111, and at the same time, abutting the sealing member 161 between the heating member 120 and the first shell 111, the sealing connection of the heating member 120 and the first shell 111 can be achieved, so as to reduce the risk of water or water vapor leaking from the gap between the first shell 111 and the heating member 120.

[0058] As shown in Figure 4 Further, the heating member 120 is provided with a limiting groove 123, and at least part of the sealing member 161 is arranged in the limiting groove 123.

[0059] It can be understood that, by the limiting groove 123, the movement of the sealing member 161 relative to the heating member 120 can be limited, the stability of the sealing member 161 is increased, and the sealing member 161 can better block the gap between the heating member 120 and the first shell 111.

[0060] Of course, the limiting groove 123 can also be arranged on the first shell 111, which can further increase the stability of the sealing member 161, so as to further improve the sealing effect.

[0061] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 Further, the rice humidifier 100 further comprises a heat insulation member 162 and a fastener, the heating member 120 is provided with a connecting hole 122, at least part of the heat insulation member 162 is arranged in the connecting hole 122, and the fastener is arranged in the heat insulation member 162 and the sealing member 161 respectively and connected with the first shell 111.

[0062] Exemplarily, the fastener can be a screw, a bolt, a buckle, a rivet, or the like, and is not specifically limited here. When the fastener is a screw, the screw is arranged in the heat insulation member 162 and the sealing member 161 respectively and is threadedly connected with the first shell 111. In addition, the heat insulation member 162 can be heat insulation cotton, heat insulation silica gel, or the like, and is not specifically limited here.

[0063] It can be understood that, since at least part of the heat insulation member 162 is arranged in the connecting hole 122, and the fastener is arranged in the heat insulation member 162 and the sealing member 161 respectively and connected with the first shell 111, that is, the heat insulation member 162 wraps the fastener in the connecting hole 122. In this way, the possibility that the heat of the heating member 120 is transmitted to the fastener and then to the first shell 111 can be reduced, so as to avoid causing the first shell 111 to be too hot and causing people to be scalded.

[0064] As shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, the air outlet member 150 includes a first air outlet support 151 and a second air outlet support 152, the second air outlet support 152 is detachably connected with the humidifier body 110, the first air outlet support 151 is detachably connected with the second air outlet support 152, the first air outlet support 151 and the second air outlet support 152 jointly define an air outlet passage 153, and the first air outlet support 151 and the second air outlet support 152 are respectively provided with air outlets 154. Figures 1 to 3

[0065] It can be understood that, since the second air outlet support 152 is detachably connected with the humidifier body 110, and the first air outlet support 151 is detachably connected with the second air outlet support 152, it is convenient for assembling the air outlet member 150 and installing the air outlet member 150 on the humidifier body 110.

[0066] It should be noted that the water tank 140 can also be detachably connected with the humidifier body 110, for example, by clamping, inserting, or the like, so as to facilitate detaching the water tank 140 from the humidifier body 110, adding water to the water storage cavity 1411 of the water tank 140, or cleaning the inside of the tank body 141.

[0067] As shown in the drawings, further, one of the humidifier body 110 and the second air outlet support 152 is provided with a slot 1113, and the other is provided with an insertion portion 1521, and the insertion portion 1521 is inserted into the slot 1113. In this way, the detachable connection of the second air outlet support 152 and the humidifier body 110 is achieved, and the installation and maintenance of the air outlet member 150 are facilitated. Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, exemplarily, the humidifier body 110 is provided with the slot 1113, the slot 1113 communicates with the water guide passage 1112, the second air outlet support 152 is provided with the insertion portion 1521, the insertion portion 1521 is inserted into the slot 1113, and there is a gap between the insertion portion 1521 and the bottom wall of the slot 1113. In this way, not only the detachable connection of the second air outlet support 152 and the humidifier body 110 is achieved, but also the water guide passage 1112 can introduce water from the water tank 140 into the heating groove 121 of the heating member 120.

[0068] Figure 2 Of course, the second air outlet support 152 can be provided with the slot 1113, and the humidifier body 110 can be provided with the insertion portion 1521, and the insertion portion 1521 is inserted into the slot 1113, and the detachable connection of the second air outlet support 152 and the humidifier body 110 is also achieved.

[0069] Of course, the second air outlet support 152 can be provided with the slot 1113, and the humidifier body 110 can be provided with the insertion portion 1521, and the insertion portion 1521 is inserted into the slot 1113, and the detachable connection of the second air outlet support 152 and the humidifier body 110 is also achieved. ​​

[0070] It should be noted that when the humidifier body 110 includes the first shell 111 and the second shell 112, the insertion slot 1113 can be arranged on the first shell 111, and the insertion part 1521 of the second air outlet support 152 is inserted into the insertion slot 1113, so that the detachable connection of the first shell 111 and the air outlet member 150 is achieved.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , further, the first air outlet support 151 is provided with a first clamping part 1511 at one end close to the air inlet 1111, the first air outlet support 151 is provided with a second clamping part 1512 at one end close to the air outlet 154, the second air outlet support 152 is provided with a first limiting part 1522 at one end close to the air inlet 1111, the second air outlet support 152 is provided with a second limiting part 1523 at one end close to the air outlet 154, the first clamping part 1511 is clamped with the first limiting part 1522, and the second clamping part 1512 is clamped with the second limiting part 1523. In this way, the detachable connection between the first air outlet support 151 and the second air outlet support 152 is achieved, and the assembly of the air outlet member 150 is facilitated.

[0072] Specifically, when the air outlet member 150 is installed to the humidifier body 110, the first air outlet support 151 and the second air outlet support 152 can be connected to form the air outlet member 150 first, and then the entire air outlet member 150 is installed to the humidifier body 110.

[0073] As shown in Figure 5 , further, the shape of each air outlet 154 is a strip shape.

[0074] It can be understood that the strip-shaped air outlet 154 can increase the coverage range of water vapor and make the water vapor more evenly diffuse, so that the rice can be better humidified.

[0075] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the rice humidifier 100 further comprises a temperature control switch 163 and a current blocking member 164, the temperature control switch 163 and the current blocking member 164 are arranged on the heating member 120 respectively, and the current blocking member 164 is electrically connected between the heating member 130 and the temperature control switch 163.

[0076] It can be understood that through the above design, when there is no water in the heating groove 121 of the heating member 120 and the temperature exceeds the limit of the temperature control switch 163, the power supply of the heating member 130 can be cut off, thereby reducing the risk of safety accidents and component damage.

[0077] Exemplarily, the current breaking piece 164 can be a temperature fuse, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC thermistor), or the like, which is not specifically limited here.

[0078] In summary, the main working principle of the rice humidifier 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is as follows: in the working state, i.e., when the rice needs to be humidified, the valve core 1433 moves in the direction close to the box body 141, thereby driving the valve film 1431 to open the water outlet 1421 of the box cover 142, the water guide channel 1112 guides the water into the heating groove 121 of the heating piece 120, the heating piece 130 generates heat and transmits the heat to the heating piece 120 to make the heating piece 120 warm up, the heated heating piece 120 heats and evaporates the water in the heating groove 121 to form water vapor, the water vapor enters the air outlet channel 153 of the air outlet piece 150 from the air inlet 1111, and is finally discharged from the air outlet 154 of the air outlet piece 150; in the non-working state, i.e., when the rice does not need to be humidified, the valve core 1433 is driven by the elastic piece 1432 to move in the direction away from the box body 141, thereby driving the valve film 1431 to reset and close the water outlet 1421.
