Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steam cooker, and more particularly to a steam cooker that can prevent flavors from mixing. Background Technology

[0002] A steam cooker is a steam-powered cooking device that uses steam as its energy source. It consists of three main parts: the pot, a stainless steel base, and a microcomputer intelligent control panel.

[0003] Steam cookers use heat convection to conduct heat, which can quickly heat food and evenly distribute heat to the food, preventing some parts of the food from overheating while others remain uncooked. The design of steam cookers makes heat utilization highly efficient, saving energy and reducing electricity consumption while ensuring rapid heating. Steam cookers also have a long-term heat preservation function, which can keep the food at a suitable temperature for occasions that require long-term heat preservation.

[0004] However, most steam cookers on the market use a mesh steam grid to store food and heat it, but this method can cause flavors to mix during the heating process. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing steam pots in that they are prone to cross-contamination of flavors, this utility model provides a steam pot that can prevent cross-contamination of flavors.

[0026] Example

[0027] Steam pots that can prevent flavor transfer, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the device includes a pot body 20, a heating device 206 at the bottom of the pot body 20, a steam generating water tank 201 above the heating device 206, and several insertion slots 205 on the front side of the pot body 20. A box body 10 is inserted into the insertion slots 205. The side wall of the box body 10 is a hollow double-layer structure, and its inner end is provided with an air inlet 101 and an exhaust 102. A steam supply and exhaust box 204 with an isolated steam inlet channel and a steam exhaust channel is provided on the upper side of the steam generating water tank 201. Several sets of spring valves 2042 that open under pressure are provided in the steam inlet channel and the steam exhaust channel respectively. After the box body 10 is inserted into the insertion slots 205, the spring valves 2042 in the steam inlet channel and the steam exhaust channel are inserted into the air inlet 101 and the exhaust 102 respectively to connect them. This solution uses a box 10 with a double-layered sidewall structure to store food ingredients, and a drawer-type structure to hold the box 10. The connection and disconnection between the box 10 and the steam inlet and outlet structure are controlled by a spring-type valve 2042, so that the steam generated by the heating device 206 heats the food ingredients through the sidewall of the box 10 and then is discharged, thus solving the problem of food flavor mixing.

[0028] Preferably, the housing 10 includes a bottom shell and an upper cover that fits onto the bottom shell. The side walls of the bottom shell are hollow and double-layered, with a partition in the middle of the two inner side walls. The air inlet 101 and the exhaust outlet 102 are located on both sides of the partition, allowing steam to enter, rotate around the side wall once, and then exit. The partition separates the side walls of the bottom shell, ensuring that steam enters from one side and exits from the other, increasing the distance the steam travels and ensuring its heating efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the heating device 206 is an electric heating plate installed inside the pot body 20.

[0030] Preferably, the steam generating water tank 201 has a steam generating chamber 2011, which is connected to the steam inlet channel.

[0031] Preferably, the side wall of the steam generating chamber 2011 is provided with a water inlet riser 202, and the water inlet riser 202 is provided with a cap 203 to cover the top opening of the water inlet riser 202. When water needs to be added, it is added through the water inlet riser 202. After adding water, the cap 203 is closed to prevent the generated steam from escaping from the cap 203. To prevent dry burning, an electronic water level gauge can be installed in the steam generating chamber 2011 to automatically cut off the power to the electric heating plate when the water level is too low.

[0032] Preferably, the steam generating water tank 201 is equipped with a steam supply riser on its upper side, and a hollow steam box is located above the steam supply riser. The steam box is divided into two chambers by a partition plate, one chamber being a steam inlet channel and the other a steam outlet channel. The two chambers of the steam box are separated by the partition plate, thereby realizing the entry and exit of steam.

[0033] Preferably, the top of the steam exhaust channel is provided with an exhaust port 2041 that communicates with the outside. The exhaust port 2041 is used to exhaust the steam after heating the box 10.

[0034] Preferably, the spring-loaded valve 2042 includes a valve body 20421 disposed on the side wall of the steam box, a spring 20425 disposed on the valve seat, and a valve core 20424 disposed in the sliding valve seat. When inserted into the housing 10, one end of the valve core 20424 is squeezed by the air inlet 101 and the exhaust 102, and the valve core 20424 slides, thereby connecting the steam inlet channel with the internal space of the side wall of the housing 10. This structure is designed so that when the housing 10 is not inserted into a certain insertion slot 205, the valve core 20424, under the action of the spring 20425, blocks the channel at the valve body 20421, preventing steam from entering. The air inlet 101 and the exhaust 102 are two insertion pipes, the inner walls of which are provided with steps for the valve core 20424 to abut against, and sealing rings are provided on the steps.

[0035] Preferably, the valve body 20421 has a tapered orifice, and the valve core 20424 includes a tapered head that matches the shape of the tapered orifice and a hollow insertion pipe connected to the tapered head. The wall of the insertion pipe has a through hole, and the insertion pipe matches the air inlet 101 and the exhaust port 102. When the valve core 20424 and the insertion pipe slide inward, the through hole, the insertion pipe, and the air inlet 101 or the exhaust port 102 are connected. Under the action of the spring 20425, the valve core 20424 blocks the tapered orifice, at which time the through hole is isolated from the steam inlet chamber.

[0036] Preferably, the valve body 20421 has a cylindrical structure with several arrayed connecting posts 20423 on its inner sidewall. A seat plate 20422 is provided in the middle of the mounting posts, and a protruding post is provided on the seat plate 20422. One end of the spring 20425 is sleeved on the protruding post. This structure serves as the mounting structure for the spring 20425, ensuring the installation of the spring 20425 and allowing steam to pass into one side of the housing 10 through the gaps between the connecting posts 20423.

[0037] It should be noted that when setting the insertion slot 205, it can be divided into multiple insertion slots 205 by setting a horizontal plate, or it can be set as a whole slot, and several grooves can be set on the side wall of the slot, and a boss extending into the groove can be set on the box body 10. When the box body 10 is inserted, the boss slides in the groove.

[0038] The steam pot for preventing odor transfer provided by this utility model has been described above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principle, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
