Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamer technology using flexible materials, and more particularly to a multifunctional flexible microwave steamer for heating food in a microwave oven. Background Technology
[0002] Microwave ovens are widely used in daily life, such as in homes and offices, because of their ability to quickly heat food. They are especially useful for working people who can bring their own food and heat it in the microwave at work – a quick and hygienic solution.
[0003] When people need to heat food in a microwave oven, they put the food in a container and then put the container in the microwave oven to heat it.
[0004] Existing microwave oven containers are generally made of materials such as glass, ceramic, and plastic. These containers have several drawbacks:
[0005] 1. The structure and function are simple. It is generally only used to hold food and heat it. It cannot perform steaming or boiling functions such as steaming rice, steaming vegetables, steaming eggs, or cooking porridge.
[0006] 2. It cannot separate sugars, fats, etc. from food.
[0007] 3. It is heavy, inconvenient to carry, and not shockproof or dropproof.

Detailed Implementation
[0085] 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.
[0086] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0087] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
[0088] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-7 This utility model proposes a multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100a, comprising: a first pot body 10, a second pot body 20, and a top cover 30, wherein the second pot body 20 is disposed between the first pot body 10 and the top cover 30. The first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30 are all made of a flexible material resistant to microwave heating temperatures. Thus, the microwave oven steamer 100a, composed of the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30, is lightweight and portable. Furthermore, due to its high-temperature resistance (e.g., withstanding 200 degrees Celsius), while microwave heating temperatures are generally around 120 degrees Celsius, the flexible material of this utility model allows the microwave oven steamer 100a to be placed in a microwave oven for heating. The flexible and microwave-resistant material of this utility model can be silicone, non-toxic soft plastic, or other similar materials.
[0089] The overall shape of the multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100 of this utility model can be designed in a variety of different shapes, such as rectangular, circular, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30 all adopt a rectangular shape.
[0090] Preferably, the multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100 of this utility model embodiment is made of silicone. Silicone is a food-grade material that is safe and hygienic.
[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, the top cover 30 of this embodiment is provided with a vent 38, and a removable vent cap 39 is provided on the vent 38. The vent 38 is used to discharge the steam generated by the steamer 100a when steaming food.
[0092] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 1 is provided with a latch 37, and the outer side wall 105 of the first pot body 10 is provided with a fastening boss 13. The latch 37 is provided with a fastening hole 371 that fastens with the fastening boss 13. Figure 2 As shown, the buckle 37 and the fastening boss 13 are in a fastening state, which can increase the firmness of the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 after they are closed.
[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the first pot body 10 is provided with a first receiving cavity 11, the upper end 111 of which is open. The upper end 111 of the first receiving cavity 11 is open to facilitate the placement of water or food into the first receiving cavity 11, and also allows the second pot body 20 to be fitted onto the upper end 111 of the first receiving cavity 11 of the first pot body 10. Like conventional pot bodies in the prior art, the bottom of the first pot body 10 is sealed and not open.
[0094] The second pot body 20 of Embodiment 1 is provided with a second accommodating cavity 21, and the upper end 211 of the second accommodating cavity 21 is open; the upper end 211 of the second accommodating cavity 21 is also open to facilitate the placement of the food to be steamed into the second accommodating cavity 21, and at the same time, the top cover can be fitted onto the upper end 211 of the second accommodating cavity 21 of the second pot body 20.
[0095] Unlike conventional pots, the second pot 20 in Embodiment 1 has a drain hole 22 at its bottom 201 that communicates with the second accommodating cavity 21. This allows the second pot 20 to be used for steaming or cooking food; steam can enter the second pot 20 through the drain hole 22 to steam or cook the food in the second accommodating cavity 21. The size of the drain hole 22 is designed to prevent food particles from leaking out, such as being smaller than the outer diameter of a typical rice grain.
[0096] The second pot body 20 can be placed on the first pot body 10, and at this time, the bottom 201 of the second pot body 20 extends into the first receiving cavity 11. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the second pot body 20 is placed on the first pot body 10, and the bottom 201 of the second pot body 20 extends into the first receiving cavity 11.
[0097] The specific steaming process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, an appropriate amount of water is added to the first cavity 11 of the first pot 10, and then ingredients such as rice, meat, vegetables, and eggs are placed in the second cavity 21 of the second pot 20. The top cover 30 is then closed, and the vent cover 39 on the top of the top cover 30 is opened before placing the pot in a microwave oven for heating or steaming. Alternatively, the top cover 30 can be left open, and the stacked first pot 10 and second pot 20 can be placed directly into the microwave oven for heating or steaming. During the steaming process, the heat generated by the microwave oven simultaneously heats both the first pot 10 and the second pot 20. The water in the first pot 10 is heated and turns into steam. The steam enters the food in the second cavity 21 of the second pot 20 through the vent 22 at the bottom of the second pot 20, heating it. Thus, the food in the second cavity 21 is heated simultaneously by both the microwave oven and the steam, allowing it to cook quickly. Meanwhile, the sugar on the surface of the rice will flow into the first pot 10 through the holes 22 along with the water. Therefore, the steamer 100a of this invention can steam rice with reduced sugar content to obtain low-sugar rice flour, which is more beneficial to health. At the same time, when steaming meat, the oil produced during the steaming process will also flow into the first pot 10 through the holes 22, thereby playing a role in reducing fat.
[0098] The top cover 30 of the steamer 100a of this utility model can be placed on the second pot body 20 or on the first pot body 10. This allows the steamer 100a to be used in various combinations, such as the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30; the first pot body 10 and the top cover 30; or the second pot body 10 and the top cover 30. Users can choose the appropriate combination according to their needs. For example, if raw food needs to be steamed or cooked, the combination of the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30 provides the steaming function; if raw or cooked food needs to be simply heated, the first pot body 10 and the top cover 30 can be combined, and the cooked food can be placed in the first pot body 10 and then directly heated in a microwave oven.
[0099] The multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100a of Embodiment 1 includes at least two usage combination modes. The first usage combination mode is a combination of the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30, such as... Figures 1 to 7 This is the first usage combination mode of the steamer 100a in Embodiment 1. In this usage mode, the user can use the steamer 100a of this embodiment to put it into the microwave oven to steam rice, vegetables, eggs, etc. to realize the steaming and cooking function.
[0100] The second combination mode is the combination of the first pot body 10 and the top cover 30, such as... Figure 8 This is the second usage combination mode of the steamer 100a in Embodiment 1. In this usage mode, the user can use the steamer 100a of this embodiment to put it in the microwave oven for simple heating, such as heating cooked food. In this way, if the user has already cooked food at home and then takes it to the office or other places, there is no need to carry the second pot body 20, reducing the weight and volume of carrying it.
[0101] The steamer 100a of Embodiment 1 of this utility model not only utilizes a microwave oven for simple heating but also for steaming and cooking food, offering diverse functions. Furthermore, its combination modes can be changed according to needs. Secondly, the steamer 100a of Embodiment 1 has functions such as reducing sugar and lipids in food during the steaming and cooking process, which is beneficial to human health. Thirdly, the steamer 100a of Embodiment 1 is made of flexible materials such as silicone, making it easy to carry, shockproof, and durable.
[0102] Preferably, the first pot body 10 of this invention is provided with a second partition in the first accommodating cavity 11, dividing the first accommodating cavity 11 into at least two cavities 110. This allows different foods to be placed in the first accommodating cavity 11 of the first pot body 10, such as rice in one cavity and vegetables in the other. This prevents oil from the vegetables from flowing into the rice during heating. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in Embodiment 1, the first pot body 10 has four intersecting second partitions within the first accommodating cavity 11, dividing the first accommodating cavity 11 into four chambers 110. This allows the first pot body 10 to hold four different types of ingredients. Of course, when steaming or cooking the ingredients in the second pot body 20, all four chambers of the first pot body 10 can be filled with water. That is, the first accommodating cavity 11 of the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 1 is divided into compartments; in other embodiments, it may not be divided.
[0103] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second pot body 20 in Embodiment 1 includes an exposed portion 23 at the top and an insertion portion 24 below the exposed portion 23. A transition step 25 is provided at the connection between the exposed portion 23 and the insertion portion 24. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the exposed portion 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion portion 24. The insertion portion 24 is used to extend into the first receiving cavity 11 of the first pot body 10. The top end 101 of the first pot body 10 and the transition step 25 of the second pot body 20 are connected by a first anti-locking structure 40, and the top cover 30 is connected to the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20 by a second anti-locking structure 50. That is, in Embodiment 1, the second pot body 20 is connected to the first pot body 10 and the top cover by an anti-locking structure. This facilitates quick assembly and connection, and the anti-locking structure can more effectively prevent deformation and poor fit at the opening of the first pot body 10 or the second pot body 20, which could lead to leakage and protrusion. It also prevents the connection from shifting left and right, and the inner and outer sides of the anti-locking structure also provide a double-layer seal.
[0104] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown in Embodiment 1, the first anti-reverse structure 40 includes: a first insertion groove 41 provided on the transition step 25 of the second pot body 20, and a first insertion protrusion 42 provided on the top end 101 of the first pot body 10. When the insertion part 24 of the second pot body 20 is inserted into the first receiving cavity 11 of the first pot body 10, the first insertion protrusion 42 can be inserted upward into the first insertion groove 41. In this embodiment, the first insertion groove 41 is a trapezoidal groove, and correspondingly, the first insertion protrusion 42 is a trapezoidal protrusion. In this embodiment, the first insertion groove 41 and the first insertion protrusion 42 form a reverse-stop structure. That is, when the second pot body 20 is inserted downwards into the first pot body 10, the first insertion protrusion 42 of the first pot body 10 is inserted upwards into the first insertion groove 41 of the second pot body 20. The two have a trapezoidal fit. This reverse-stop structure serves two purposes: First, it prevents the opening at the upper end 111 of the first pot body 10 from deforming and expanding outwards, affecting aesthetics and sealing. This reverse-stop structure also prevents the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20 from moving left or right. Second, this reverse-stop structure ensures a sealed fit between the second pot body 20 and the first pot body 10 at the transition step 25, improving sealing and preventing air leakage during the cooking process.
[0105] The first anti-stop structure 40 in Embodiment 1 can also be configured in the opposite direction, specifically including a first insertion protrusion 42 provided on the transition step 25 of the second pot body 20, and a first insertion groove 41 provided on the top end 101 of the first pot body 10.
[0106] In this embodiment, after the insertion part 24 extends into the first accommodating cavity 11, the outer side wall 241 of the insertion part 24 is tightly fitted with the inner side wall 102 of the first pot body 10, which can improve the tight sealing effect after the second pot body 20 and the first pot body 10 are inserted and fitted.
[0107] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the outer wall 241 of the insertion part 24 is provided with a sealing rib 242, and the inner wall 102 of the first pot body 10 is provided with a sealing groove 103. The sealing rib 242 is embedded in the sealing groove 103. This can further increase the firmness of the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20, and at the same time further improve the sealing effect at the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20. The fitting of the sealing rib 242 and the sealing groove 103 can also prevent the opening position of the upper end 111 of the first pot body 10 from deforming, thus avoiding the situation where the anti-corrosion structure is not tightly fitted, resulting in leakage and protrusion deformation. At the same time, it can also prevent the connection from moving up and down, which further improves the sealing effect at the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20.
[0108] The sealing rib 242 and sealing groove 103 in Embodiment 1 can also be arranged in reverse, that is, the sealing groove 103 is provided on the outer side wall 241 of the insertion part 24, and the sealing rib 242 is provided on the inner side wall 102 of the first pot body 10.
[0109] The first anti-reverse structure 40 formed by the first insertion groove 41 and the first insertion protrusion 42, and the fitting structure of the sealing rib 242 and the sealing groove 103, respectively correspond to two types of locking positions at the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20. These two locking positions prevent the connection between the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20 from moving up and down or left and right, while also providing a double sealing effect. The anti-reverse structure can more effectively prevent deformation of the opening of the first pot body 10 or the second pot body 20 and leakage and protrusion deformation due to poor sealing of the sealing rib, and prevent tension deformation of the opening of the pot body below the connection, while also providing a double-layer seal.
[0110] Preferably, the outer wall 241 of the insertion part 24 and the inner wall 102 of the first pot body 10 are provided with two sets of interlocking sealing ribs 242 and sealing grooves 103, so that a double-layer sealing effect can be achieved in the vertical direction.
[0111] like Figure 7 As shown, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 1 includes a cover body 31 and a locking protrusion 32 provided at the bottom end 311 of the cover body 31. The second anti-reverse structure 50 includes a U-shaped groove 51 provided on the locking protrusion 32 facing the side of the second pot body 20, and a U-shaped protrusion 52 provided at the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20. In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove 51 is provided in an inverted state. When the top cover 30 is closed on the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20, the U-shaped protrusion 52 of the exposed portion 23 can be inserted upward into the U-shaped groove 51. In this embodiment, the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 are closed by the insertion connection of the U-shaped groove 51 and the U-shaped protrusion 52. In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove 51 and the U-shaped protrusion 52 of the exposed portion 23 also constitute a reversible structure. That is, when the top cover 30 is placed downwards over the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20, the U-shaped protrusion 52 of the exposed portion 23 is inserted upwards into the U-shaped groove 51. This reversible structure also has the following effects: First, it can prevent the opening position of the upper end 211 of the second pot body 20 from deforming and expanding outwards, affecting the aesthetics and sealing, thereby preventing the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 from moving left and right. Second, this reversible structure ensures a sealed fit between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 at the connection point. The U-shaped protrusion 52 and the U-shaped groove 51 are an interference fit to ensure a tight fit and improve sealing performance.
[0112] The second anti-stop structure 50 in Embodiment 1 can also be configured in the opposite direction, specifically including a U-shaped protrusion 52 provided on the side of the engaging protrusion 32 facing the second pot body 20, and a U-shaped groove 51 provided on the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20.
[0113] Preferably, a sealing groove 512 is provided on the engaging protrusion 32 within the groove wall 511 of the U-shaped groove 51, and a sealing rib 232 is provided on the inner side wall 231 of the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20, which is embedded in the sealing groove 512. The cooperation between the sealing rib 232 and the sealing groove 512 further enhances the firmness and sealing of the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30. The fitting cooperation between the sealing rib 232 and the sealing groove 512 can also prevent deformation of the opening position of the upper end 211 of the second pot body 20, thus avoiding poor fit of the anti-corrosion structure, leakage, and protrusion deformation. It can also prevent the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 from moving up and down, and further improve the sealing effect at the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30.
[0114] In Embodiment 1, the sealing rib 232 and the sealing groove 512 can also be arranged in reverse, that is, the locking protrusion 23 is provided in the groove wall 511 of the U-shaped groove 51, and the sealing groove 232 is provided on the inner side wall 231 of the top end 230 of the exposed part 23 of the second pot body 20.
[0115] Example 2, as Figure 9 As shown, Embodiment Two also provides a multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100a. The difference between Embodiment Two and Embodiment One is that, in Embodiment Two, the second pot body 20 has a first partition 212 within the second accommodating cavity 21, dividing the second accommodating cavity 21 into at least two cavities 210. At least one cavity 210 has a drain hole 22 at its bottom, while at least the other cavity 210 does not have a drain hole 22 at its bottom, thus keeping the bottom sealed. That is, Embodiment Two divides the second pot body 20 into two cavities 210, one cavity 210 has a drain hole 22 at its bottom, while the other cavity 210 does not have a drain hole 22 at its bottom. Figure 7 In the second embodiment, the second pot body 20 has two cavities 210. The bottom of the left cavity 210 is provided with a leakage hole 22, while the bottom of the right cavity 210 is closed and is not provided with a leakage hole 22. Therefore, the left cavity 210 can communicate with the first accommodating cavity 11 of the first pot body 10. The steam generated by heating in the first accommodating cavity 11 can enter the cavity 210. Thus, the left cavity 210 of the second pot body 20 in the second embodiment can be used to steam rice and vegetables, while the right cavity 210 can be used to cook porridge, stew eggs, etc., thereby expanding the steaming and cooking functions of the second pot body 20.
[0116] Example 3, as Figures 10 to 14 As shown, Embodiment 3 also provides a multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100b. The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30 of Embodiment 3 are all circular.
[0117] Meanwhile, in Embodiment 3, the top cover 30 is provided with an exhaust hole 38 and a handle 301, the side wall of the second pot body 20 is provided with a first handle 28, and the side wall of the first pot body 10 is provided with a second handle 14. The handle 301, the first handle 28, and the second handle 14 facilitate lifting and handling.
[0118] Meanwhile, the multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100b of Embodiment 3 also has the following differences:
[0119] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 3 includes a cover body 31, a first insertion wall 33 disposed downward at the bottom end 311 of the cover body 31, and a fastening step 34 disposed on the outside of the first insertion wall 33. The second anti-reverse structure 50 of Embodiment 3 includes: a second insertion groove 53 disposed on the fastening step 34, and a second insertion protrusion 54 disposed at the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20; when the top cover 30 is closed on the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20, the second insertion protrusion 54 can be inserted upward into the second insertion groove 53.
[0120] The structure of the top cover 30 in Embodiment 3 differs from that in Embodiment 1. When the top cover 30 of Embodiment 3 is closed with the second pot body 2, the first insertion wall 33 of the top cover 30 is inserted into the inside of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20 to achieve an interference fit. Combined with the cooperation of the second anti-reverse structure 50 between the top cover 30 and the second pot body 20 in Embodiment 3, the closing connection between the top cover 30 and the second pot body 10 in Embodiment 3 is more secure and has better sealing. The second insertion groove 53 in Embodiment 3 is a trapezoidal groove, and correspondingly, the second insertion protrusion 54 is a trapezoidal protrusion. The second anti-stop structure 50 formed by the second insertion groove 53 and the second insertion protrusion 54 in Embodiment 3 is also an anti-stop structure. That is, when the top cover 30 is placed downwards on the top end 230 of the exposed part 23 of the second pot body 20, the second insertion protrusion 54 is inserted upwards into the upper second insertion groove 53, and the two are in a trapezoidal structure. This anti-stop structure also has the following effects: First, it can prevent the opening position of the upper end 211 of the second pot body 20 from deforming and expanding outwards, so that this anti-stop structure can prevent the connection between the second pot body 10 and the top cover 30 from moving left and right; Second, this anti-stop structure makes the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 sealed, improves the sealing performance, and prevents air leakage during the cooking process.
[0121] The second anti-stop structure 50 in Embodiment 3 can also be configured in the opposite direction, specifically including: a second insertion protrusion 54 provided on the fastening step 34, and a second insertion groove 53 provided on the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20.
[0122] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 As shown in Embodiment 3, a sealing rib 332 is provided on the outer wall 331 of the first insertion wall 33 of the top cover 30, and a sealing groove 233 is provided on the inner wall 231 of the top end 230 of the exposed portion 23 of the second pot body 20. The sealing rib 332 is embedded in the sealing groove 233. The fitting of the sealing rib 332 on the first insertion wall 33 of the top cover 30 with the sealing groove 233 of the inner wall 231 of the exposed portion 23 further improves the connection firmness and sealing performance. The fitting of the sealing rib 332 with the sealing groove 233 can also prevent the opening position of the upper end 211 of the second pot body 20 from deforming, thus avoiding the situation where the anti-reverse structure at the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30 is not tightly fitted, resulting in leakage and protrusion deformation. It can also limit and block the vertical movement of the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30, and further improve the sealing effect at the connection between the second pot body 20 and the top cover 30.
[0123] In Embodiment 3, the sealing rib 332 and the sealing groove 233 can also be arranged in reverse, that is, a sealing groove 233 is provided on the outer wall 331 of the first insertion wall 33, and a sealing rib 332 is provided on the inner wall 231 of the top end 230 of the exposed part 23 of the second pot body 20.
[0124] The height of the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 3 is greater than that of the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 1, which makes it easier to use the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 3 for steaming eggs, cooking porridge, etc., and also provides a larger capacity. Meanwhile, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 3 can be used independently, either on the second pot body 20 or on the first pot body 10. Figure 14 As shown, this is the combination of the top cover 30 and the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 3. Both the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20 in Embodiment 3 can be divided into compartments or not.
[0125] Example 4, as Figures 15 to 19 As shown, Embodiment 4 also provides a multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100c. The difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 1 is that the first pot body 10, the second pot body 20, and the top cover 30 in Embodiment 4 are all set in a circular shape.
[0126] Meanwhile, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 4 is provided with an exhaust hole 38 and a handle 301, the side wall of the second pot body 20 is provided with a first handle 28, and the side wall of the first pot body 10 is provided with a second handle 14.
[0127] Meanwhile, the multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100c of Embodiment 4 also has the following differences:
[0128] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the second pot body 20 of Embodiment 4 includes an insertion part 24 and a first overlapping step 26 disposed on the outer side 243 of the top end of the insertion part 24. The inner side 104 of the top end of the first pot body 10 is provided with a second overlapping step 12. After the insertion part 23 of the second pot body 20 extends into the first receiving cavity 11 of the first pot body 10, the first overlapping step 26 of the second pot body 20 overlaps with the second overlapping step 12 of the first pot body 10.
[0129] The structure of the second pot body 20 in Embodiment 4 differs from that in Embodiment 1. The second pot body 20 in Embodiment 4 lacks the exposed upper portion 23; instead, it has a first overlapping step 26 protruding outwards on the outer side 243 of the top of the insertion portion 24. Correspondingly, the first pot body 10 in Embodiment 4 also has a second overlapping step 12 protruding inwards on the inner side 104 of its top. Thus, the connection between the second pot body 20 and the first pot body 10 is an overlapping connection, rather than the insertion connection of Embodiment 1. This overlapping connection facilitates quick placement and removal between the second pot body 20 and the first pot body 10.
[0130] The top cover 30 of Embodiment 4 includes a cover body 31, a second insertion wall 35 disposed downward at the bottom end 311 of the cover body 31, and a cover plate 36 disposed outside the second insertion wall 35. The cover plate 36 can press against the first overlapping step 26 or the second overlapping step 12. That is, when the top cover 30 of Embodiment 4 is placed on the second pot body 20, the second insertion wall 35 of the top cover 30 will be inserted into the inner wall of the second pot body 20 for an interference fit to ensure a tight fit, while the cover plate 36 of the top cover 30 covers the first overlapping step 26.
[0131] Preferably, such as Figure 18 As shown, in Embodiment 4, the outer wall 351 of the second insertion wall 35 is provided with a sealing rib 352, and the inner side 244 of the top end of the insertion part 24 of the second pot body 20 is provided with a sealing groove 245, in which the sealing rib 352 is embedded. The sealing rib 352 on the second insertion wall 35 of the top cover 30 and the sealing groove 245 on the inner side 244 of the top end of the insertion part 24 are fitted together, further improving the firmness and sealing effect of the connection between the top cover 30 and the second pot body 20.
[0132] In Embodiment 4, the sealing rib 352 and the sealing groove 245 can also be arranged in reverse, that is, the sealing groove 245 is provided on the outer side wall 351 of the second insertion wall 35, and the sealing rib 352 is provided on the inner side 244 of the top end of the insertion part 24 of the second pot body 20.
[0133] Meanwhile, the top cover 30 of Embodiment 4 can be placed on the second pot body 20, or it can be placed on the first pot body 10 for separate use, such as... Figure 19 As shown, this is a configuration where the top cover 30 and the first pot body 10 are used together in Embodiment 4. In this configuration, the first pot body 10 is used alone to process or hold food. Both the first pot body 10 and the second pot body 20 in Embodiment 4 can be divided into compartments or not.
[0134] The multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamer 100c of Embodiment 4 also has the same microwave oven use effect of reducing sugar, low carb and fat as in Embodiment 1. The steamer 100c of Embodiment 4 is more convenient for draining noodles, vegetables and fruits. For example, after microwave heating or soaking noodles, the top layer can be lifted to drain. It is also suitable for washing and draining fruits and vegetables, similar to a drain rack.
[0135] The multifunctional flexible microwave oven steamers 100a, 100b, and 110c described above can all be used in a microwave oven to steam rice, vegetables, meat, eggs, and cook porridge, thus enriching the product's functions and enhancing the user experience.
[0136] The above description is merely an example to clearly illustrate the present utility model and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the embodiments here. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of the technical solution of the present utility model under the concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
