Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric steamer technology, specifically a combined multi-functional electric steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Electric steamers, also known as electric steamers, are kitchen appliances developed based on traditional wooden, aluminum, and bamboo steamers. They use electric heating steam to steam various foods. Existing electric steamers have the following main shortcomings in use.

[0003] For example, if the height of the existing steamer cannot be changed, some ingredients may be too tall or prone to tilting, causing the upper steamer to be lifted up, preventing the upper steamer from completely closing with the lower steamer, resulting in a large amount of steam loss.

[0004] For example, the heat source and steam of an electric steamer are usually concentrated in a specific location. During the steaming process, some of the food in the steamer is far away from the heat source and the location where the steam is concentrated, which causes this part of the food to cook more slowly. After the other food has been heated and cooked, this part of the food is still not cooked. To address this, we have proposed a combined multi-functional electric steamer. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined multi-functional electric steamer, including an electric cooker body 1, steamer components 2 stacked on top of each other, a lid 3 movably installed on the top of the electric cooker body 1, and the steamer components 2 located between the electric cooker body 1 and the lid 3. It also includes a steamer component 2, which is movably installed on the electric cooker body 1. The steamer component 2 includes a connecting frame 202, a fixing frame 203, an operation box 205, a movable steaming tray 206, a support rod 209, a transmission roller 211, and a rotating block 212.

[0027] The movable steaming tray 206 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the steamer assembly 2. A connecting frame 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer assembly 2 at the side of the movable steaming tray 206. A fixing frame 203 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 202. An operation box 205 is fixedly connected to the outside of the steamer assembly 2. A support rod 209 is movably installed below the movable steaming tray 206.

[0028] Furthermore, the steamer assembly 2 also includes a movable opening 201 and a limiting block 210. The movable opening 201 is located at the bottom of the steamer assembly 2. The movable steaming tray 206 is movably installed above the movable opening 201. The connecting frame 202 and the fixed frame 203 are interconnected. The support rod 209 is movably installed in the connecting frame 202 or the fixed frame 203. The limiting block 210 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support rod 209.

[0029] When the support rod 209 moves downward and lands on the fixed frame 203 under the action of gravity, the limiting block 210 is located on the side of the fixed frame 203 and is locked with the fixed frame 203, making it difficult for the support rod 209 to fall off, and allowing the movable steaming tray 206 to be limited to the position above the support base 208.

[0030] Working principle: By tilting and moving the support rod 209, the support rod 209 enters the corresponding connecting frame 202. Several fixed frames 203 are set on the side of the connecting frame 202. The support rod 209 is moved up and down, and a fixed frame 203 of appropriate height is selected. The support rod 209 is rotated to the side so that the support rod 209 enters the fixed frame 203. Then it is naturally lowered so that the support rod 209 falls on the fixed frame 203 under the action of gravity. After the limiting block 210 locks the fixed frame 203, the movable steaming tray 206 is installed on the support base 208. The insertion rod 207 is inserted into the through hole of the support base 208, thereby changing the height of the movable steaming tray 206. By adjusting the height of the movable steaming tray 206, the two steamer components 2 connected at the top and bottom can easily accommodate some taller ingredients, improving the convenience of using the steamer components 2.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides another technical solution: the transmission roller 211 is located on the side of the movable steaming tray 206, the rotating block 212 is rotatably installed in the operation box 205, and the rotating block 212 is movably installed with the transmission roller 211. The steamer assembly 2 also includes a plug rod 207 and a support base 208. The plug rod 207 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the movable steaming tray 206, and the other end of the support rod 209 is fixedly connected to the support base 208. A through hole is provided at the center of the support base 208, and the plug rod 207 is movably installed in the through hole of the support base 208.

[0033] Furthermore, the steamer assembly 2 also includes a positioning rod 204, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer assembly 2, and the transmission roller 211 is rotatably connected to the positioning rod 204.

[0034] A through hole is provided at the center of the transmission roller 211, and the positioning rod 204 is movably installed in the through hole at the center of the transmission roller 211, so that the transmission roller 211 can be easily disassembled for cleaning.

[0035] Furthermore, the steamer assembly 2 also includes a knob 213, a plug 214, and a slot 215. The plug 214 is fixedly connected to the lower position of the knob 213, and the slot 215 is opened at the upper position of the control box 205 and the center position of the plug 212. The knob 213 is movably mounted on the control box 205, and the plug 214 is movably mounted in the slot 215 of the control box 205 and the plug 212.

[0036] Place the rotating block 212 into the operating box 205. After the slot 215 of the rotating block 212 is aligned with the slot 215 on the top of the operating box 205, move the knob 213 from top to bottom so that the insert 214 is inserted into the slot 215 of the operating box 205 and the rotating block 212 in sequence. Rotate the knob 213, and the insert 214 drives the rotating block 212 to rotate, so that the rotating block 212 rotates on the bottom wall of the operating box 205. The volume of the operating box 205 is much larger than that of the rotating block 212, making it easier to clean the inside of the operating box 205.

[0037] Furthermore, the steamer assembly 2 also includes an anti-slip edge 216, which is fixedly connected to the edge of the movable steaming tray 206, and the transmission roller 211 is movably installed with the anti-slip edge 216.

[0038] The anti-slip edge 216 is located at the edge of the movable steaming tray 206. It prevents the tray from slipping when it rotates and increases friction, making it easier for the transmission roller 211 to operate the movable steaming tray 206 to rotate.

[0039] Working principle: Rotating knob 213 causes knob 213 to rotate rotating block 212 via insert block 214. Rotating block 212 and the lower part of transmission roller 211 are mutually transmitted. When rotating block 212 rotates, transmission roller 211 rotates accordingly. Transmission roller 211 rubs against the anti-slip edge 216 of movable steaming tray 206, pushing movable steaming tray 206 to rotate on support base 208 via insert rod 207. This rotation of movable steaming tray 206 adjusts the position of the food in movable steaming tray 206, rotating the food to a position where the heat source and steam are concentrated, making the food heated more evenly and accelerating cooking.

[0040] This structure facilitates disassembly. When the steamer assembly 2 is placed upright, the movable steaming tray 206 can be moved upward and removed. After the support rod 209 is rotated and tilted, it can be moved from the fixed frame 203 into the connecting frame 202 and then disengaged. The transmission roller 211 and the knob 213 can be directly removed upward, and the rotating block 212 can be removed from the operation box 205, making the steamer assembly 2 easy to clean.
