The terminology used in the description of the present application herein only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present application. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0040] The existing electric steamer includes a steam base and a steamer assembly. Generally, the steamer assembly and the steam base are matched by a stepped surface to limit the steamer assembly on the steam base to avoid movement of the steamer assembly relative to the steam base along the horizontal direction. When using, since the water amount is invisible, the entire steamer assembly needs to be taken down along the height direction when adding water in the middle, which is easy to be scalded by steam and the condensed water on the steamer will also scatter on the table surface, which is very inconvenient. Some existing steamer assemblies are mainly formed by plastic injection molding or hardware material stretching molding. Regardless of the material, the steamer assembly needs to be taken down as a whole when adding water. The applicant designs an electric steamer with a steamer assembly capable of sliding relative to the steam base, and the existing steamer structure cannot meet the sliding relative to the steam base.

[0041] To solve the above problems, as Figures 1 to 12 shown, the utility model provides a kind of steamer assembly 100 and electric steamer, to make steamer assembly 100 can slide relative to steam base 200, and can prevent user from being scalded.

[0042] As Figures 4 to 5 shown, specifically, steamer assembly 100 includes steamer 10 and handle 20, wherein: steamer 10 is square, and has supporting area 11 and edge area 12 located at the periphery of supporting area 11, the back of steamer 10 has matching surface 121 and sliding surface 111, matching surface 121 is located at edge area 12, sliding surface 111 is located at the inside of matching surface 121, and sliding surface 111 is lower than matching surface 121, steamer 10 has sliding direction parallel to the width direction of steamer 10;Handle 20 includes gripping portion 22 and blocking rib 21, gripping portion 22 is arranged at both ends of the length direction of steamer 10, and blocking rib 21 is protruded to the side of gripping portion 22 bottom close to steamer 10.

[0043] Wherein, steamer assembly 100 can be erected on steam base 200.And when steamer assembly 100 is erected on steam base 200, the side of steamer 10 facing upwards is front, that is, the side of steamer 10 away from steam base 200 is front;The side of steamer 10 facing downwards is back, that is, the side of steamer 10 towards steam base 200 is back.

[0044] It should be noted that the square of steamer 10 means that its cross section is generally square, such as rectangular or square, and the four corners of the square can be right angle or round angle.When steamer 10 is rectangular, the extension direction of the long side of the rectangle is the length direction of steamer 10, and the extension direction of the short side of the rectangle is the width direction of steamer 10.When steamer 10 is square, since the four sides of the square are equal in length, the extension direction of any side of the square is the length direction of steamer 10, and the direction perpendicular to the length direction of steamer 10 is the width direction of steamer 10.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the operation interface 202 of steam cooking equipment is front, that is, the front of steam cooking equipment, and the side opposite to it is back, that is, the direction of +Y axis of corresponding steam base 200.Similarly, the two sides of operation interface 202 can be understood as the left and right sides of steam cooking equipment, that is, the direction of +X axis of corresponding steam base 200.Steam 10 has sliding direction parallel to the width direction of steamer 10, that is, steamer 10 can slide along +Y axis direction relative to steam base 200, that is, front and back direction, wherein, +Y axis direction is back side, -Y axis direction is front side.The two sides between front side and back side of steamer 10 are left side of steamer 10 and right side of steamer 10 respectively, wherein, +X axis direction is right side, -X axis direction is left side.

[0046] In the working state, the matching surface 121 of the steaming rack 10 can be lapped on the supporting top surface 201 of the steam base 200, the steam base 200 is completely covered by the steaming rack assembly 100, the internal structure of the steam base 200 is not exposed, and leakage of steam in the steam base 200 is avoided. Since the sliding surface 111 is lower than the matching surface 121, a first step structure capable of limiting the steaming rack assembly 100 is formed between the sliding surface 111 and the matching surface 121. Under the action of no external force, the steaming rack assembly 100 can be stably erected on the steam base 200. When it is necessary to observe the water level in the steam base 200 or to add water into the steam base 200, the user can hold the holding part 22 and control the steaming rack assembly 100 to slide relative to the steam base 200 along the sliding direction to be opened to a sliding state. In the sliding state, the matching surface 121 of the steaming rack 10 and the sliding surface 111 can be lapped on the supporting top surface 201 of the steam base 200 together, so that the steaming rack assembly 100 is stably erected on the steam base 200 through the matching surface 121 and the sliding surface 111, and the steaming rack assembly 100 is partially misaligned with the steam base 200, so that the internal structure of the steam base 200 is partially exposed. The user can observe the water level in the steam base 200 or add water into the steam base 200 through the misaligned part of the steaming rack assembly 100 and the steam base 200. Finally, the user holds the holding part 22 again and controls the steaming rack assembly 100 to slide reversely relative to the steam base 200 to be reset to the working state, so that the steaming rack assembly 100 is lapped on the supporting top surface 201 of the steam base 200 through the matching surface 121 again.

[0047] Furthermore, as Figures 10 to 12As shown, when the fitting surface 121 is lapped on the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200, the bottom of the steam rack 10 is in contact with the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200 along the circumferential direction of the steam rack 10, and steam in the steam base 200 will escape to the outside and form condensed water between the fitting surface 121 and the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200, which forms a sealing water film to seal the gap between the fitting surface 121 and the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200. When the user controls the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200, the sealing water film will be destroyed when the fitting surface 121 and the sliding surface 111 are lapped on the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200, and since the sliding surface 111 is lower than the fitting surface 121, there is a gap between the bottom of the steam rack 10 and the support top surface 201 of the steam base 200 along the circumferential direction of the steam rack 10, and steam in the steam base 200 will overflow through the gap. The blocking rib 21 can block the steam overflowing from the steam base 200 from flowing towards the holding portion 22, preventing the user from being scalded by high-temperature steam. At the same time, when the sliding direction of the steam rack 10 deviates, the blocking rib 21 will interfere with the steam base 200, so that the steam rack 10 can only slide along the ±Y-axis direction, so as to limit the sliding direction of the steam rack 10 relative to the steam base 200. When the user needs to lift the steam rack assembly 100 from the steam base 200, the steam rack assembly 100 can be first controlled to slide open relative to the steam base 200, so that the steam in the steam base 200 overflows through the misaligned part between the steam rack assembly 100 and the steam base 200, and then the steam rack assembly 100 is lifted, so as to prevent the user from being scalded when lifting the steam rack assembly 100.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, the steam rack assembly 100 is arranged on the steam base 200, and the steam rack assembly 100 is capable of sliding open relative to the steam base 200. Figure 3 As shown, the support area 11 of the steam rack 10 is provided with a plurality of steam holes 112, and the steam base 200 is capable of heating water to generate steam, which flows upward through the steam holes 112 to heat the food placed on the support area 11.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the steam rack assembly 100 is arranged on the steam base 200, and the steam rack assembly 100 is capable of sliding open relative to the steam base 200. Figures 1 to 2 As shown in an embodiment, the steam rack assembly 100 can slide open forward relative to the steam base 200 and also slide open backward relative to the steam base 200. Specifically, the user can hold the holding portions 22 on both sides and push the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 along the +Y-axis direction, and then pull the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 along the -Y-axis direction in the reverse direction; or the user can hold the holding portions 22 on both sides and pull the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 along the -Y-axis direction, and then push the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 along the +Y-axis direction in the reverse direction.

[0050] In another embodiment, the steam rack assembly 100 is only capable of sliding open relative to the steam base 200 in the backward direction, and the user can hold the two holding portions 22 and push the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 in the +Y axis direction, and then pull the steam rack assembly 100 to slide back relative to the steam base 200 in the -Y axis direction. Alternatively, the steam rack assembly 100 is only capable of sliding open relative to the steam base 200 in the forward direction, and the user can hold the two holding portions 22 and pull the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200 in the -Y axis direction, and then push the steam rack assembly 100 to slide back relative to the steam base 200 in the +Y axis direction.

[0051] As shown in Figure 11 , the steam rack 10 further comprises a handle assembly portion 15, which is protruded from the side of the steam rack 10 and used to mount the holding portion 22. The handle 20 and the handle assembly portion 15 are provided in a split structure, which can facilitate the processing of the steam rack 10. In addition, the handle 20 can be made of a material with a low thermal conductivity, such as plastic or silicone rubber, to prevent the user from being scalded.

[0052] As shown in Figures 5 to 6 , the blocking rib 21 comprises a first blocking rib 211, which extends along the length direction of the side of the steam rack 10 where the holding portion 22 is provided. The first blocking rib 211 can prevent the steam overflowing from the gap between the side of the steam rack 10 where the holding portion 22 is provided and the steam base 200 from flowing directly towards the holding portion 22, thereby preventing the user from being scalded by the high-temperature steam.

[0053] As shown in Figures 5 to 6 , the blocking rib 21 further comprises two second blocking ribs 212, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the first blocking rib 211 and extend towards the side away from the steam rack 10. The second blocking ribs 212 can prevent the overflowing steam from flowing towards the holding portion 22 from the two sides of the holding portion 22 after bypassing the first blocking rib 211; and the second blocking ribs 212 can also block the overflowing steam from flowing towards the holding portion 22 from the part of the steam rack assembly 100 that is misaligned with the steam base 200, thereby improving the effect of the blocking rib 21 in blocking the steam.

[0054] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the steam rack 10 is also provided with a backflow groove 13, which includes an annular first backflow groove 132, the bottom surface of the first backflow groove 132 being the sliding surface 111. The first backflow groove 132 is a downwardly recessed structure, and the groove bottom of the backflow groove 13 is lower than other areas on the steam rack 10. The condensed water on the steam rack 10 can flow into the first backflow groove 132, preventing the condensed water from accumulating on the support area 11 and affecting the cooking effect. By using the bottom surface of the first backflow groove 132 as the sliding surface, the structure of the steam rack 10 is also simple, facilitating production and processing. In an embodiment, the first backflow groove 132 is provided at the edge of the support area 11, or alternatively, the first backflow groove 132 can be provided at the joint between the support area 11 and the edge area 12, so that there is enough area inside the support area 11 to process other structures such as steam holes 112, avoiding the condensed water in the first backflow groove 132 affecting the cooking effect, while also avoiding the size of the edge area 12 increasing due to the first backflow groove 132 being provided at the edge area 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the first backflow groove 132 can be provided at other positions of the support area 11 or the edge area 12 as needed.

[0055] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in an embodiment, the backflow groove 13 also includes a second backflow groove 133 near one side of the handle 20, the bottom surface of the second backflow groove 133 being lower than the bottom surface of the first backflow groove 132, and the second backflow groove 133 being in communication with the first backflow groove 132. In this way, the bottom surface of the second backflow groove 133 and the sliding surface 111 form a second step structure that can limit the position of the steam rack assembly 100. When the user controls the steam rack assembly 100 to slide open relative to the steam base 200, the second step structure will abut against the steam base 200. The user can stop controlling the steam rack assembly 100 to continue sliding when the second step structure abuts against the steam base 200, avoiding the distance of the steam rack assembly 100 sliding relative to the steam base 200 being too large, causing the overall center of gravity of the steam rack assembly 100 to be located outside the steam base 200 and causing the steam rack assembly 100 to overturn. Thus, the second step structure formed between the bottom surface of the second backflow groove 133 and the sliding surface 111 can limit the sliding range of the steam rack assembly 100 relative to the steam base 200. Moreover, the second backflow groove 133 can also increase the capacity of the backflow groove 13, preventing too much condensed water in the backflow groove 13 from overflowing onto the support area 11.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, a limiting rib (not shown in the figure) can also be separately provided on the bottom surface of the support area 11, the bottom surface of the limiting rib being lower than the sliding surface 111. The limiting rib is preferably provided at positions near the two ends of the support area 11 in the sliding direction.

[0057] As shown in Figures 4 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the first reflux trough 132 and the second reflux trough 133 is provided with reflux holes 131. The condensate on the steam rack 10 can first flow into the first reflux trough 132 and the second reflux trough 133, and then drip into the steam base 200 through the reflux holes 131, preventing excessive condensate in the first reflux trough 132 and the second reflux trough 133 from overflowing onto the support area 11. Of course, in other embodiments, only the bottom of the second return trough 133 may have a return hole 131. The condensate on the steam rack 10 can first flow into the first return trough 132, and then the condensate in the first return trough 132 flows into the second return trough 133. Finally, the condensate in the second return trough 133 drips into the steam base 200 through the return hole 131, thereby guiding the condensate on the steam rack 10 so that the condensate can drip into the steam base 200 along the first return trough 132, the second return trough 133, and the return hole 131. Alternatively, only the bottom of the first return trough 132 may have a return hole 131.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second return channel 133 is located on the edge of the support area 11 near the handle 20 and is correspondingly positioned to the handle 20. The second return channel 133 is correspondingly positioned to the handle 20 because the projection of the handle 20 onto the edge of the support area 11 near the handle 20 at least partially overlaps with the second return channel 133. The second return channel 133's proximity to the handle 20 allows some of the steam flowing towards the side of the steam rack 10 with the grip 22 to escape through the return hole 131 at the bottom of the second return channel 133. This reduces the amount of steam overflowing from the gap between the side of the steam rack 10 with the grip 22 and the steam base 200, further preventing burns to the user. Specifically, when the two handles 20 are respectively located on the two short sides of the steam rack 10, the number of second return channels 133 can also be two, and they are respectively located on the edges of the two short sides of the support area 11; when the two handles 20 are respectively located on the two long sides of the steam rack 10, the two second return channels 133 are respectively located on the edges of the two long sides of the support area 11.

[0059] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, a transition section 14 is provided between the sliding surface 111 and the mating surface 121, and the transition section 14 and the sliding surface 111 have an obtuse angle α. The transition section 14 allows for a smooth connection between the sliding surface 111 and the mating surface 121, and the inclined arrangement of the transition section 14 serves as a guide. Through the cooperation between the transition section 14 and the steam base 200, an effective upward thrust is generated on the steam rack assembly 100, making it easier for the user to slide the steam rack assembly 100 open relative to the steam base 200.

[0060] like Figures 8 to 9As shown, the included angle a between the transition section 14 and the sliding surface 111 satisfies: 135°≤a≤175°. Among them, the included angle a can be 135°, 140°, 150°……170°, 175°, etc. within the range of 135°≤a≤175°. And the larger the included angle a, the smaller the force required by the user to control the steamer assembly 100 to slide relative to the steam base 200, and the smoother the user operation; however, the included angle a is too large, which causes the first step structure formed between the sliding surface 111 and the matching surface 121 to have poor limiting effect on the steamer assembly 100, so it is preferred that 155°≤a≤170°. Thus, while ensuring the limiting effect of the first step structure formed between the sliding surface 111 and the matching surface 121 on the steamer assembly 100, it is convenient for the user to control the steamer assembly 100 to slide relative to the steam base 200.

[0061] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The utility model embodiment further provides an electric steamer, including steam base 200 and cover body 300, steam base 200 has support top surface 201, still including above-mentioned steamer assembly 100, steamer assembly is located between steam base 200 and cover body 300, in working condition, matching surface 121 is overlapped on support top surface 201, in sliding condition, matching surface 121 and sliding surface 111 are overlapped on support top surface 201 jointly. Further, the electric steamer can also include cage (not shown in the drawings), when only one layer of steamer assembly 100 needs to be arranged, cover body 300 can be covered on steamer assembly 100;When multiple layers of steamer assembly 100 need to be arranged, the cage can be arranged on the bottom layer of steamer assembly 100, and the second layer of steamer assembly 100 is arranged on the cage, and so on, finally, cover body 300 is covered on the top layer of steamer assembly 100. When cover body 300 is covered on steamer assembly 100, the bottom surface of cover body 300 can be attached to the top surface of steamer 10, the steam between steamer assembly 100 and cover body 300 will escape around, and form condensate water between the bottom surface of cover body 300 and the top surface of steamer 10, the condensate water forms a sealed water film to seal the gap between the bottom surface of cover body 300 and the top surface of steamer 10.
