Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, in particular to a cooking utensil. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, a cooking utensil has a steaming function. The cooking utensil takes a long time and has a slow speed to emit steam, so that the cooking utensil takes a long time to reach a saturated steam state in a cooking cavity, which affects the cooking efficiency of food materials. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or the related art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present application provides a cooking utensil.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a cooking utensil, which comprises a pot body provided with a heating piece, a concentrating structure detachably arranged on the pot body, the concentrating structure being provided with a channel, an outer surface of the concentrating structure and an inner surface of the pot body enclosing a liquid storage cavity, the liquid storage cavity being communicated with the channel, the heating piece being used at least for supplying heat to the channel, a first object carrier detachably arranged on the concentrating structure, a first communication part being defined between a side portion of the concentrating structure and a side portion of the first object carrier, and a pot cover detachably arranged on the pot body, an area between the pot cover and the first object carrier being communicated with the channel through the first communication part, the channel comprising a flow guide section connected with the first communication part, a flow cross-sectional area of a side of the flow guide section facing the heating piece being smaller than a flow cross-sectional area of a side of the flow guide section facing the pot cover.

[0006] The cooking utensil provided by the present application comprises a pot body, a concentrating structure, a first object carrier and a pot cover.

[0007] The concentrating structure is detachably arranged on the pot body, the first object carrier is detachably arranged on the concentrating structure, and the pot cover is detachably arranged on the pot body. That is, the pot body and the pot cover enclose an appearance surface of the cooking utensil. The concentrating structure and the first object carrier are both located in a space enclosed by the pot body and the pot cover.

[0008] The medium is covered by the energy-gathering structure after the energy-gathering structure is placed in the pot body, so that the medium is gathered in the channel. Since the space in the channel is fixed and the medium is affected by the pressure difference, the medium only fills part of the channel, so the amount of medium in the channel can be limited. The amount of medium to be heated is less affected by the amount and temperature of the medium outside the external area of the energy-gathering structure. In this way, when the cooking utensil is working, most of the heat is absorbed by the medium in the channel of the energy-gathering structure, and the medium outside the energy-gathering structure can only absorb a small amount of heat due to the effect of the energy-gathering structure. Therefore, by heating the medium in the channel, the time for the medium to reach boiling point from room temperature and generate relatively stable steam can be greatly shortened, and the temperature rise of the medium outside the energy-gathering structure is very small. In this way, the purpose of quickly generating high-temperature steam can be achieved, and energy loss can be avoided.

[0009] Further, the food material is placed on the first carrier, and then the pot cover is placed on the pot body to enclose the food material in the area enclosed by the pot cover and the first carrier. The channel communicates the area between the pot cover and the first carrier through the first communication part, that is, the high-temperature steam generated in the channel is discharged from the energy-gathering structure through the first communication part and is directed to flow to the predetermined position of the cooking utensil. This can shorten the time for the cooking utensil to reach a saturated steam state and improve the efficiency of cooking the food material.

[0010] Further, the first communication part is defined between the edge of the energy-gathering structure and the edge of the first carrier, and has the function of guiding the flow path of the steam. The steam discharged through the first communication part flows to the side of the area between the pot cover and the first carrier, that is, the steam rises around the first carrier and circulates in the area between the pot cover and the first carrier to heat the food material in the area between the pot cover and the first carrier. In this way, the effectiveness and reliability of heating the food material can be ensured, and the situation that the steam directly contacts the bottom of the food material can be avoided, thereby reducing the condensate formed on the surface of the food material during cooking and greatly improving the cooking taste and effect of the food material.

[0011] Further, the energy-gathering structure is provided with a channel, and the outer surface of the energy-gathering structure and the inner surface of the pot body enclose a liquid storage cavity, and the channel and the liquid storage cavity are communicated. That is, the inner surface of the energy-gathering structure encloses the channel, and the outer surface of the energy-gathering structure and the inner surface of the pot body enclose the liquid storage cavity. In other words, the energy-gathering structure separates the internal space of the pot body into the channel and the liquid storage cavity. The channel and the liquid storage cavity are separated to avoid the medium in the liquid storage cavity contacting the steam to cause heat loss of the steam, so that the generated high-temperature steam can directly enter the area between the pot cover and the first carrier, thereby maximizing the use of steam heat.

[0012] Further, the channel comprises a flow guide section, the flow guide section is connected to the first communication part, the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section towards the side of the heating element is smaller than the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section towards the side of the pot cover (exemplarily, the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section gradually increases along the direction from the pot body to the pot cover). That is, the flow guide section is in a flared structure, the shape of the flow guide section defines the flow path of the steam, and has the effect of converging and guiding the steam, so that the steam can be directed and quickly guided to the first communication part on the side of the energy gathering structure.

[0013] That is, the setting position of the first communication part and the shape of the channel are matched to jointly guide the flow path of the steam, so that the steam flowing out through the first communication part flows towards the side of the cooking utensil, to meet the use requirement of surrounding the steam, avoid the direct contact of the steam with the bottom of the food, thereby reducing the condensate formed on the surface of the food during cooking, and greatly improving the cooking taste and cooking effect of the food.

[0014] It can be understood that the liquid storage cavity and the channel are communicated, so that when the amount of medium in the channel decreases, the medium in the liquid storage cavity can be supplemented into the channel, to provide structural support for ensuring the amount of medium in the channel and providing structural support for meeting the continuous steam output.

[0015] At the same time, the setting makes the first carrier below have steam, and the steam can heat the first carrier, which is beneficial to uniformly heat the food from top to bottom, and when the first carrier is designed without holes, the food below can be in a dry steaming state, reducing the soaking of the food below.

[0016] Exemplarily, the first carrier is used to carry the food to be cooked.

[0017] According to the cooking utensil described above, the following additional technical features can also be provided:

[0019] In this embodiment, the energy gathering structure is further limited.

[0020] The energy gathering structure is provided with a first opening and a second opening, the first opening is communicated with the channel, and the second opening is communicated with the channel. The first opening is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body, and the first carrier cover is arranged on the second opening.

[0021] The medium flows into the passage through the first opening, and the steam flows to the first communicating portion through the second opening.

[0022] The flow guide section extends from the first opening to the second opening, i.e., the positional relationship of the flow guide section, the first opening and the second opening is defined. A part of the flow guide section stores the medium, and another part of the flow guide section has the function of guiding the steam, so that the steam can flow orderly to the first communicating portion along the flow guide section with gradually increasing flow cross-sectional area.

[0023] The passage further includes a connecting section connected between the first opening and the flow guide section, and the flow guide section is connected to the second opening. The flow cross-sectional area of the connecting section is smaller than that of the flow guide section. Exemplarily, the connecting section is a cylindrical structure. The connecting section at least has the function of storing the medium, and the flow guide section at least has the function of guiding the steam to the first communicating portion.

[0024] The structure of the connecting section can limit the amount of medium to be heated, and ensure the use requirement of rapid steam output. If the flow cross-sectional area of the connecting section is greater than that of the flow guide section, the amount of medium heated per unit time is larger, which will prolong the steam output time and cannot meet the use requirement of rapid steam output.

[0025] In some embodiments, the energy concentrating structure includes: a flow guide cylinder, one end of the flow guide cylinder is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body; a flow guide plate, the flow guide plate extends from the other end of the flow guide cylinder to the opening end of the pot body, the first object cover is arranged on the flow guide plate, and the flow guide cylinder and the flow guide plate enclose the passage.

[0026] In this embodiment, the energy concentrating structure is defined.

[0029] The shapes of the flow guide cylinder and the flow guide plate are matched to enclose the passage, and meet the use requirement that the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section of the passage gradually increases from the pot body to the pot cover.

[0030] It can be understood that the first object cover is arranged on the flow guide plate, and the energy concentrating structure has the function of supporting and fixing the first object. At the same time, the first object has the function of covering the flow guide plate, so that the steam can only flow to the area between the pot cover and the first object through the first communicating portion, to meet the use requirement of surrounding steam.

[0031] In some embodiments, optionally, the pot body is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove being communicated with the open end of the pot body; the deflector plate is provided with a first surrounding edge on the side away from the pot cover, the first surrounding edge is arranged in a spaced manner with the outer edge of the deflector plate, the portion of the deflector plate between the first surrounding edge and the outer edge of the deflector plate is arranged on the open end of the pot body, and the first surrounding edge extends into the mounting groove and abuts against the groove side wall of the mounting groove.

[0033] The pot body is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove being communicated with the open end of the pot body, and the deflector plate is arranged on the open end of the pot body.

[0034] Specifically, the deflector plate is provided with a first surrounding edge on the side away from the pot cover, the first surrounding edge is arranged in a spaced manner with the outer edge of the deflector plate, the portion of the deflector plate between the first surrounding edge and the outer edge of the deflector plate is arranged on the open end of the pot body, and the first surrounding edge extends into the mounting groove and abuts against the groove side wall of the mounting groove.

[0035] The first surrounding edge has the function of positioning the energy focusing structure. That is, the first surrounding edge and the outer edge of the deflector plate cooperate to not only meet the use requirement that the deflector plate is arranged on the open end of the pot body, but also have the function of limiting the cooperation size of the pot body and the energy focusing structure, so that the energy focusing structure is stably and reliably assembled to the pot body.

[0036] In some embodiments, optionally, the first surrounding edge is arranged around the deflector cylinder.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cooperation structure of the first surrounding edge and the deflector cylinder is further defined.

[0038] The first surrounding edge is arranged around the deflector cylinder. This arrangement increases the cooperation area and cooperation angle of the energy focusing structure and the pot body, can position the energy focusing structure from multiple directions and multiple angles, and at the same time, this structure arrangement also has the function of sealing the liquid storage cavity, so that the liquid storage cavity and the channel can be effectively isolated, the medium in the liquid storage cavity is prevented from contacting the steam to cause the heat loss of the steam, the generated high-temperature steam can directly reach the area between the pot cover and the first load object, and thus the steam heat can be used with the maximum efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, optionally, the inner bottom wall of the pot body is provided with a cylindrical groove, the deflector cylinder is inserted into the cylindrical groove, and the liquid storage cavity and the channel are communicated through the cylindrical groove.

The medium in the liquid storage chamber can flow to the channel of the energy-concentrating structure through the cylindrical groove to ensure that the amount of medium in the channel can meet the needs of continuous steam output.

[0043] Therefore, it can be seen that the cylindrical groove not only serves as a limiting guide tube, but also connects the liquid storage chamber and the channel.

[0044] In some embodiments, optionally, the outer edge of the guide plate opposite to the pot body is provided with a plurality of first support ribs, the plurality of first support ribs are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the guide tube, the first load is resting on the plurality of first support ribs, and two adjacent first support ribs and the first load form a first connecting portion.

In this way, the effectiveness and reliability of heating the food material are ensured, and the situation that the steam directly contacts the bottom of the food material is avoided, so that the condensate formed on the surface of the food material during cooking is reduced, and the cooking taste and effect of the food material are greatly improved.

[0057] At the same time, the steam flows to the second sub-cavity through the second communication part, and the steam rises around the second carrier and circulates in the second sub-cavity to heat the food material in the second sub-cavity sufficiently.

[0058] It can be understood that the steamer can be assembled or disassembled according to actual conditions. For example, when only the area between the pot cover and the first carrier is used to cook food material, only the pot body, the energy-gathering structure, the first carrier and the pot cover can be assembled, that is, the first carrier is arranged on the energy-gathering structure, and the pot cover is directly arranged on the pot body.

[0105] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0106] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figures 1 to 10 A cooking utensil 10 of some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0107] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , a cooking utensil 10 according to some embodiments of the present application includes a pot body 100, an energy-gathering structure 200, a first load object 400 and a pot cover 600.

[0108] The pot body 100 is provided with a heating element 110.

[0109] The energy-gathering structure 200 is detachably arranged in the pot body 100.

[0110] The energy-gathering structure 200 is provided with a channel 210.

[0111] The outer surface of the energy-gathering structure 200 and the inner surface of the pot body 100 enclose a liquid storage cavity 300.

[0112] The liquid storage cavity 300 is in communication with the channel 210.

[0113] The heating element 110 is at least used to supply heat to the channel 210.

[0114] The first load object 400 is detachably covered on the energy-concentrating structure 200.

[0115] The first communication part 500 is defined between the edge of the energy-concentrating structure 200 and the edge of the first load object 400.

[0116] The pot cover 600 is detachably covered on the pot body 100, and the area between the pot cover 600 and the first load object 400 and the channel 210 are communicated through the first communication part 500.

[0117] The channel 210 comprises a flow guide section 212 connected to the first communication part 500.

[0118] The flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section 212 towards the side of the heating element 110 is smaller than the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section 212 towards the side of the pot cover 600.

[0119] The cooking appliance 10 provided by the present application comprises a pot body 100, an energy-concentrating structure 200, a first load object 400 and a pot cover 600.

[0120] The energy-concentrating structure 200 is detachably arranged in the pot body 100, the first load object 400 is detachably covered on the energy-concentrating structure 200, and the pot cover 600 is detachably covered on the pot body 100. That is, the pot body 100 and the pot cover 600 enclose the appearance surface of the cooking appliance 10. Both the energy-concentrating structure 200 and the first load object 400 are located in the space enclosed by the pot body 100 and the pot cover 600.

[0121] After the energy-concentrating structure 200 is arranged in the pot body 100, the energy-concentrating structure 200 covers the medium, so that the medium is gathered in the channel 210. Since the space in the channel 210 is fixed, and under the action of pressure difference, the medium will only fill part of the channel 210, so the amount of the medium located in the channel 210 can be limited. Thus, the amount of the medium to be heated is less affected by the amount and temperature of the medium outside the energy-concentrating structure 200. In this way, when the cooking appliance 10 is working, most of the heat is absorbed by the medium in the channel 210 of the energy-concentrating structure 200, and the medium outside the energy-concentrating structure 200 can only absorb very little heat due to the effect of the energy-concentrating structure 200. Therefore, by heating the medium in the channel 210, the time for the medium to be heated from room temperature to boiling and to generate relatively stable steam can be greatly shortened, and the temperature rise of the medium outside the energy-concentrating structure 200 is very small. In this way, the purpose of quickly generating high-temperature steam can be achieved, and energy loss is avoided.

[0122] Further, the food is placed on the first carrier 400, and then the pot cover 600 is covered on the pot body 100 to enclose the food into the area enclosed by the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400. The channel 210 is communicated between the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400 through the first communication part 500, that is, the high-temperature steam generated in the channel 210 is discharged from the energy-gathering structure 200 through the first communication part 500 and is directed to flow to the predetermined position of the cooking utensil 10, which can shorten the time for the cooking utensil 10 to reach the saturated steam state and can improve the efficiency of cooking the food by the cooking utensil 10.

[0123] Further, the first communication part 500 is defined between the edge of the energy-gathering structure 200 and the edge of the first carrier 400, and the first communication part 500 has the function of the flow path of the steam flow, so that the steam discharged through the first communication part 500 flows to the side of the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400, that is, the steam rises around the first carrier 400 and circulates in the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400 to sufficiently heat the food in the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400, which can avoid the direct contact between the steam and the bottom of the food, thereby reducing the condensate formed on the surface of the food during cooking and greatly improving the cooking taste and cooking effect of the food while ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of heating the food.

[0124] Further, the energy-gathering structure 200 is provided with the channel 210, the outer surface of the energy-gathering structure 200 and the inner surface of the pot body 100 enclose the liquid storage cavity 300, and the channel 210 and the liquid storage cavity 300 are communicated. That is, the inner surface of the energy-gathering structure 200 encloses the channel 210, and the outer surface of the energy-gathering structure 200 and the inner surface of the pot body 100 enclose the liquid storage cavity 300. In other words, the energy-gathering structure 200 divides the internal space of the pot body 100 into the channel 210 and the liquid storage cavity 300. The channel 210 and the liquid storage cavity 300 are separated to avoid the contact between the medium in the liquid storage cavity 300 and the steam to cause the heat loss of the steam, so that the generated high-temperature steam can directly reach the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400, thereby maximizing the utilization of the heat of the steam.

[0125] Further, the channel 210 comprises a flow guide section 212 connected to the first communicating part 500, and the flow guide section 212 has a cross-sectional area of the flow passage towards one side of the heating element 110 smaller than a cross-sectional area of the flow passage towards one side of the pot cover 600 (for example, the cross-sectional area of the flow passage of the flow guide section 212 gradually increases in the direction from the pot body 100 to the pot cover 600). That is, the flow guide section 212 has a flared structure, and the shape of the flow guide section 212 defines a flow path of the steam, and has the effect of converging and guiding the steam, so that the steam can be directed and quickly guided to the first communicating part 500 on the side of the energy concentrating structure.

[0126] That is, the first communicating part 500 is arranged at a position and the channel 210 has a shape suitable for jointly guiding the flow path of the steam, so that the steam flowing out through the first communicating part 500 flows towards the side of the cooking utensil 10, so as to meet the requirement of surrounding the steam, and avoid the situation that the steam directly contacts the bottom of the food, thereby reducing the condensate formed on the surface of the food during cooking, and greatly improving the cooking taste and cooking effect of the food.

[0127] It can be understood that the liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210 are in communication, and therefore, when the amount of medium in the channel 210 decreases, the medium in the liquid storage cavity 300 can be supplemented into the channel 210, so as to provide structural support for ensuring the amount of medium in the channel 210 and for meeting the continuous steam output.

[0128] At the same time, the arrangement makes the first carrier 400 below have steam, and the steam can heat the first carrier 400, so as to be beneficial to uniformly heating the food from top to bottom, and when the first carrier 400 is designed without holes, the food below can be in a dry steaming state, reducing the soaking of the food below.

[0129] For example, the first carrier 400 is used for carrying food to be cooked.

[0130] Specifically, the medium comprises a liquid, or the medium comprises a liquid and a gas. When the medium is a liquid, the liquid can be water.

[0131] Specifically, a cross section of the channel 210 is taken along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the channel 210, and in the cross section, an area enclosed by an inner contour line of the channel 210 is a cross-sectional area of the flow passage of the channel 210.

[0132] Specifically, a cross section of the flow guide section 212 is taken along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the flow guide section 212, and in the cross section, an area enclosed by an inner contour line of the flow guide section 212 is a cross-sectional area of the flow passage of the flow guide section 212.

[0133] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 8 The energy concentrating structure 200 is provided with a first opening 220 and a second opening 230.

[0134] The first opening 220 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body 100.

[0135] The first carrier 400 is arranged on the second opening 230.

[0136] The channel 210 is in communication with the first opening 220 and the second opening 230.

[0137] The flow guide section 212 extends from the first opening 220 to the second opening 230.

[0138] In this embodiment, the energy gathering structure 200 is further defined.

[0139] The energy gathering structure 200 is provided with the first opening 220 and the second opening 230, the first opening 220 is in communication with the channel 210, and the second opening 230 is in communication with the channel 210. The first opening 220 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body 100, and the first carrier 400 is arranged on the second opening 230.

[0140] The medium flows into the channel 210 through the first opening 220, and the steam flows to the first communication part 500 through the second opening 230.

[0141] The flow guide section 212 extends from the first opening 220 to the second opening 230, that is, the positional relationship of the flow guide section 212, the first opening 220 and the second opening 230 is defined. A part of the flow guide section 212 stores the medium, and another part of the flow guide section 212 has the function of guiding the steam, so that the steam can orderly flow to the first communication part 500 along the flow guide section 212 with gradually increasing flow cross-sectional area.

[0142] Optionally, along the first opening 220 to the first communication part 500, the flow guide section 212 includes a first sub-section and a second sub-section connected in series, and the variation amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the first sub-section is less than that of the second sub-section.

[0143] The shape of the first sub-section is different from that of the second sub-section. Specifically, the variation amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the first sub-section is less than that of the second sub-section. Wherein, along the first opening 220 to the first communication part 500, the variation amount of the flow cross-sectional area refers to the difference between the flow cross-sectional area at the end position and the flow cross-sectional area at the initial position within a unit length.

[0144] It can be understood that the first sub-section is located between the first opening 220 and the second sub-section, and the function of the first sub-section at least includes storing the medium, and the function of the second sub-section at least includes guiding the steam to the first communication part 500.

[0145] The change amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the first sub-section is small, so that the amount of the medium to be heated can be limited, and the use requirement of rapid steam output can be ensured. If the change amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the first sub-section is greater than the change amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the second sub-section, the amount of the medium heated per unit time is large, so that the steam output time is prolonged, and the use requirement of rapid steam output cannot be met.

[0146] The change amount of the flow cross-sectional area of the second sub-section is large, so that the generated steam can flow to the first communication part 500 in a large range and rapidly, and the steam flowing out of the energy gathering structure 200 through the first communication part 500 can flow to the surrounding in a direction with a small included angle with the horizontal direction, thereby providing structural support for meeting the use requirement of surrounding steam.

[0147] That is, the setting meets the use requirements of rapid steam output and surrounding steam.

[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 The energy gathering structure 200 is provided with a first opening 220 and a second opening 230.

[0149] The first opening 220 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the kettle body 100.

[0150] The first carrier 400 is arranged on the second opening 230.

[0151] The channel 210 communicates the first opening 220 and the second opening 230.

[0152] Alternatively, the channel 210 further includes a connecting section 214.

[0153] The connecting section 214 is connected between the first opening 220 and the flow guiding section 212.

[0154] The flow guiding section 212 is connected to the second opening 230.

[0155] The flow cross-sectional area of the connecting section 214 is smaller than that of the flow guiding section 212.

[0156] In this embodiment, the energy gathering structure 200 is further limited.

[0157] The energy gathering structure 200 is provided with the first opening 220 and the second opening 230, the first opening 220 is in communication with the channel 210, and the second opening 230 is in communication with the channel 210. The first opening 220 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the kettle body 100, and the first carrier 400 is arranged on the second opening 230.

[0158] The medium flows into the channel 210 through the first opening 220, and the steam flows to the first communication part 500 through the second opening 230.

[0159] The channel 210 further comprises a connecting section 214 connected between the first opening 220 and the flow guide section 212 connected to the second opening 230, and the flow cross-sectional area of the connecting section 214 is smaller than that of the flow guide section 212. Exemplarily, the connecting section 214 is a cylindrical structure. The connecting section 214 is configured to store the medium, and the flow guide section 212 is configured to guide the steam to the first communication part 500.

[0160] The structure of the connecting section 214 can limit the amount of medium to be heated, and meet the requirement of fast steam output. If the flow cross-sectional area of the connecting section 214 is larger than that of the flow guide section 212, the amount of medium to be heated per unit time is larger, which prolongs the steam output time and cannot meet the requirement of fast steam output.

[0161] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the energy concentrating structure 200 comprises a flow guide cylinder 240 and a flow guide plate 250.

[0162] One end of the flow guide cylinder 240 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body 100.

[0163] The flow guide plate 250 extends from the other end of the flow guide cylinder 240 to the opening end 130 of the pot body.

[0164] The first carrier 400 is arranged on the flow guide plate 250.

[0165] The flow guide cylinder 240 and the flow guide plate 250 enclose the channel 210.

[0166] In this embodiment, the energy concentrating structure 200 is defined.

[0167] The energy concentrating structure 200 comprises the flow guide cylinder 240 and the flow guide plate 250.

[0168] One end of the flow guide cylinder 240 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the pot body 100, and the flow guide plate 250 extends from the other end of the flow guide cylinder 240 to the opening end 130 of the pot body.

[0169] The shapes of the flow guide cylinder 240 and the flow guide plate 250 are matched to enclose the channel 210, and meet the requirement that the flow cross-sectional area of the flow guide section 212 of the channel 210 gradually increases from the pot body 100 to the pot cover 600.

[0170] Understandably, the first load-bearing component 400 is placed on the guide plate 250, and the energy-concentrating structure 200 serves to support and fix the first load-bearing component 400. Simultaneously, the first load-bearing component 400 also serves to cover the guide plate 250, ensuring that steam can only flow through the first connecting portion 500 to the area between the pot lid 600 and the first load-bearing component 400, thus meeting the requirement for steam to circulate.

[0171] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the pot body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 120, which connects to the open end 130 of the pot body. The guide plate 250 is provided with a first rim 252 on the side opposite to the pot lid 600.

[0172] The first perimeter 252 is arranged at intervals with the outer edge of the guide plate 250.

[0173] The portion of the guide plate 250 located between the first circumference 252 and the outer edge of the guide plate 250 is mounted on the opening end 130 of the pot body, and the first circumference 252 extends into the mounting groove 120 and abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 120.

[0174] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the pot body 100 and the energy-concentrating structure 200 is further defined.

[0175] The pot body 100 is provided with an installation groove 120, which is connected to the opening end 130 of the pot body, and the guide plate 250 rests on the opening end 130 of the pot body.

[0176] Specifically, the guide plate 250 has a first rim 252 on the side away from the pot lid 600. The first rim 252 is spaced apart from the outer edge of the guide plate 250. The portion of the guide plate 250 located between the first rim 252 and the outer edge of the guide plate 250 rests on the opening end 130 of the pot body, and the first rim 252 extends into the mounting groove 120 and abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 120.

[0177] The first perimeter 252 serves to position the energy-concentrating structure 200. That is, the first perimeter 252 cooperates with the outer edge of the guide plate 250, which not only meets the usage requirements of the guide plate 250 resting on the opening end 130 of the pot body, but also limits the matching dimensions of the pot body 100 and the energy-concentrating structure 200, so that the energy-concentrating structure 200 is stably and reliably assembled on the pot body 100.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first perimeter 252 is optionally provided around the guide tube 240.

[0179] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first perimeter 252 and the guide tube 240 is further defined.

[0180] The first surrounding edge 252 is arranged around the flow guide cylinder 240. This arrangement increases the fitting area and fitting angle of the energy gathering structure 200 and the pot body 100, and can position the energy gathering structure 200 from multiple directions and multiple angles. Meanwhile, this structure arrangement can also seal the liquid storage cavity 300, so that the liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210 can be effectively isolated, avoiding the contact between the medium in the liquid storage cavity 300 and the steam, which can cause the loss of steam heat. The generated high-temperature steam can directly reach the area between the pot cover 600 and the first carrier 400, so that the steam heat can be used with maximum efficiency.

[0181] In other embodiments, the number of the first surrounding edges 252 is multiple, and the multiple first surrounding edges 252 are arranged along the circumference of the flow guide cylinder 240.

[0182] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the inner bottom wall of the pot body 100 is provided with a cylindrical groove 140.

[0183] The flow guide cylinder 240 is inserted into the cylindrical groove 140.

[0184] The liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210 are communicated through the cylindrical groove 140.

[0185] In this embodiment, the fitting structure of the pot body 100 and the flow guide cylinder 240 is further limited.

[0186] The inner bottom wall of the pot body 100 is provided with a cylindrical groove 140, the flow guide cylinder 240 is inserted into the cylindrical groove 140, and the outer surface of the flow guide cylinder 240 and the flow guide plate 250 and the inner surface of the pot body 100 enclose the liquid storage cavity 300.

[0187] The liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210 are communicated through the cylindrical groove 140, and the medium in the liquid storage cavity 300 can flow to the channel 210 of the energy gathering structure 200 through the cylindrical groove 140, so as to ensure the amount of the medium in the channel 210, which can meet the use demand of continuous steam output.

[0188] Therefore, the cylindrical groove 140 not only has the function of limiting the flow guide cylinder 240, but also has the function of communicating the liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210.

[0189] In other embodiments, the flow guide cylinder 240 is provided with a gap, and the gap communicates the liquid storage cavity 300 and the channel 210.

[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the outer edge of the deflector 250 away from the pot body 100 is provided with a plurality of first support ribs 254.

[0191] The plurality of first support ribs 254 are arranged along the circumference of the deflector cylinder 240.

[0192] The first load object 400 is supported on the plurality of first support ribs 254.

[0193] The first load object 400 and any two adjacent first support ribs 254 enclose a first communication part 500.

[0194] In this embodiment, the cooperation structure of the deflector 250 and the first load object 400 is further defined.

[0195] The outer edge of the deflector 250 away from the pot body 100 is provided with a plurality of first support ribs 254, and the plurality of first support ribs 254 are arranged along the circumference of the deflector cylinder 240. The first load object 400 is supported on the plurality of first support ribs 254, that is, the plurality of first support ribs 254 have the function of supporting and fixing the first load object 400.

[0196] Any two adjacent first support ribs 254 and the first load object 400 enclose a first communication part 500, which meets the use requirement that the area between the pot cover 600 and the first load object 400 and the channel 210 are communicated through the first communication part 500, and also provides structural support for the steam to rise around the first load object 400.

[0197] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the cooking utensil 10 further comprises a steamer 800 and a second load object 1000.

[0198] The steamer 800 is in a cylindrical structure.

[0199] The steamer 800 is detachably connected between the pot body 100 and the pot cover 600.

[0200] The steamer 800 surrounds the first load object 400.

[0201] The inner circumferential wall of the steamer 800 and the outer edge of the energy concentrating structure 200 enclose a cylindrical gap 1800.

[0202] The steamer 800 is provided with a second communication part 900.

[0203] The second load object 1000 is detachably arranged on the side of the steamer 800 away from the pot body 100.

[0204] The second communication part 900 is located on the circumferential side of the second load object 1000.

[0205] The second carrier 1000, the steamer 800 and the first carrier 400 enclose the first sub-cavity 1100.

[0206] The second carrier 1000 and the pot cover 600 enclose the second sub-cavity 1200.

[0207] The cylindrical gap 1800 communicates the first communicating part 500 and the first sub-cavity 1100.

[0208] The second communicating part 900 communicates the first sub-cavity 1100 and the second sub-cavity 1200.

[0209] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking utensil 10 is further defined.

[0210] The cooking utensil 10 further comprises the steamer 800 and the second carrier 1000.

[0211] The steamer 800 is a cylindrical structure, which is detachably arranged on the pot body 100, and the pot cover 600 is detachably arranged on the side of the steamer 800 away from the pot body 100. The pot body 100, the steamer 800 and the pot cover 600 enclose the appearance surface of the cooking utensil 10.

[0212] The first carrier 400 is detachably arranged on the energy-concentrating structure 200, and the second carrier 1000 is detachably arranged on the side of the steamer 800 away from the pot body 100. The second carrier 1000, the steamer 800 and the first carrier 400 enclose the first sub-cavity 1100, and the second carrier 1000 and the pot cover 600 enclose the second sub-cavity 1200.

[0213] Specifically, the foodstuff can be placed in the first sub-cavity 1100, specifically, on the first carrier 400, and then the second carrier 1000 is arranged on the steamer 800 to enclose the foodstuff in the first sub-cavity 1100.

[0214] Specifically, the foodstuff can be placed in the second sub-cavity 1200, specifically, on the second carrier 1000, and then the pot cover 600 is arranged on the steamer 800 to enclose the foodstuff in the second sub-cavity 1200.

[0215] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the steamer 800 surrounds the first carrier 400, and the inner circumferential wall of the steamer 800 and the outer edge of the energy-concentrating structure 200 enclose the cylindrical gap 1800. The steamer 800 is provided with the second communicating part 900, which is located on the circumferential side of the second carrier 1000. Figure 6 Figure 7 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the steamer 800 surrounds the first carrier 400, and the inner circumferential wall of the steamer 800 and the outer edge of the energy-concentrating structure 200 enclose the cylindrical gap 1800. The steamer 800 is provided with the second communicating part 900, which is located on the circumferential side of the second carrier 1000.

[0216] ​When the cooking utensil 10 is in operation, steam flows to the cylindrical gap 1800 through the first communication part 500 between the energy-concentrating structure 200 and the first carrier 400, so that the steam rises around the first carrier 400 and circulates in the first sub-cavity 1100 to sufficiently heat the food in the first sub-cavity 1100. In this way, the steam can not directly contact the bottom of the food, so that the condensate formed on the surface of the food during cooking can be reduced, and the cooking taste and effect of the food can be greatly improved.

[0217] At the same time, the steam flows to the second sub-cavity 1200 through the second communication part 900, so that the steam rises around the second carrier 1000 and circulates in the second sub-cavity 1200 to sufficiently heat the food in the second sub-cavity 1200. In this way, the steam can not directly contact the bottom of the food, so that the condensate formed on the surface of the food during cooking can be reduced, and the cooking taste and effect of the food can be greatly improved.

[0218] It can be understood that the steamer 800 can be disassembled according to actual conditions.
