[0002] The drain valve of a rice steamer is usually located at the bottom. Existing rice steamers are typically placed in the kitchen and directly on the floor. Therefore, when the rice steamer needs cleaning, it must be lifted to expose the drain valve at the bottom; that is, the rice steamer needs to be raised and elevated before cleaning. This cleaning method is labor-intensive and extremely inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a load-bearing platform for a rice steamer.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a rice steamer support platform, including a support frame, the edge of which is adapted to the rice steamer, and when the rice steamer is placed on the support frame, the end of the support frame abuts against the bottom of the rice steamer, the lower part of the support frame is hollowed out, and the drain valve of the rice steamer extends out of the support frame and is placed in the hollowed-out area below the support frame.

[0005] The load-bearing frame is equipped with a water level tray, which is located below the drain valve. The water level tray is inclined towards the end face of the drain valve to form a slope. A drain hole is opened at the bottom end of the slope. The drain hole is connected to the municipal sewer through a pipe. The water level tray and the drain valve form a first maintenance area for inspecting and repairing the drain valve.

[0006] A wastewater bucket is installed in the hollowed-out area, and the wastewater bucket is inserted into the hollowed-out area and positioned below the drain valve.

[0007] The load-bearing frame is provided with a surrounding panel, and an inspection port is provided on the surrounding panel for inspecting the drain valve. A sealing plate is provided at the inspection port, and the sealing plate is detachably provided on the surrounding panel.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-2 A support platform for a rice steamer 2 includes a load-bearing frame 1. The edge of the load-bearing frame 1 is adapted to the rice steamer 2. When the rice steamer 2 is placed on the load-bearing frame 1, the end of the load-bearing frame 1 abuts against the bottom of the rice steamer 2. The bottom of the load-bearing frame 1 is hollowed out, and the drain valve 21 of the rice steamer 2 extends out of the load-bearing frame 1 and is placed in the hollowed-out area below the load-bearing frame 1. That is, during normal use, the bottom of the rice steamer 2 is in a raised state, so that the area between the bottom of the rice steamer 2 and the ground can be used for operating or replacing the drain valve 21. The load-bearing frame 1 is made of square tube welded so that the bottom of the load-bearing frame 1 is actually in a hollow state. This hollowed-out area is actually for the drain valve 21 to extend out for operation and maintenance, making it more convenient to use.

[0026] In the first embodiment, the wastewater discharged by the drain valve 21 can be connected to the municipal sewer network. Specifically, a water leveling tray 11 is provided on the load-bearing frame 1. The water leveling tray 11 is located below the drain valve 21, and the water leveling tray 11 is inclined towards the end face of the drain valve to form a slope. A drain hole 12 is opened at the bottom end of the slope, and the drain hole 12 is connected to the municipal sewer through a pipe. A first maintenance area for inspecting and repairing the drain valve 21 is formed between the water leveling tray 11 and the drain valve 21. That is, the drain valve 21 is suspended below the water leveling tray 11, and the first maintenance area between the drain valve 21 and the water leveling tray 11 facilitates user operation or maintenance of the drain valve 21.

[0027] In the second embodiment, unlike the previous embodiment, the water discharged from the drain valve 21 is not directly discharged into the municipal sewer network. Specifically, unlike the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, the load-bearing frame 1 does not have a water tray 11; instead, a wastewater bucket 13 is provided in the hollow area. The wastewater bucket 13 is inserted into the hollow area and placed below the drain valve 21. That is, the wastewater discharged from the drain valve 21 flows into the wastewater bucket 13 until the wastewater bucket 13 is full, at which point it can be manually emptied or the wastewater bucket 13 can be directly replaced.

[0028] In the two embodiments described above, a surrounding plate 14 may be provided on the outer side of the load-bearing frame 1. An inspection port 15 is provided on the surrounding plate 14 for inspecting and maintaining the drain valve 21. A sealing plate 151 is provided at the inspection port 15, and the sealing plate 151 is detachably provided on the surrounding plate 14. The inspection port 15 facilitates the operation and maintenance of the drain valve 21.

[0029] Based on the second embodiment, to facilitate timely replacement or emptying of the wastewater tank 13 when it is full, the load-bearing frame 1 is improved. In this embodiment, the wastewater tank 13 is in contact with the load-bearing frame 1. Specifically, the load-bearing frame 1 has a cover plate 16 on its left, right, and rear sides. A baffle 17 is rotatably connected to the front of the load-bearing frame 1. A pair of crossbeams 18 are provided on the load-bearing frame 1. A fly liner 131 is provided at the opening of the wastewater tank 13. When the wastewater tank 13 is inserted into the hollow area, the fly liner 131 and the end faces of the crossbeams 18 are in contact. The crossbeams 18 are hollow to form an installation cavity. A driving component 19 is provided in the installation cavity. When the wastewater tank 13 is empty, the driving component 19 supports the wastewater tank 13 and suspends it. When the wastewater tank 13 is full, the wastewater tank 13 pushes the driving component 19 back into the installation cavity. The end of the driving component 19 contacts the baffle 17. When the driving component 19 retracts into the installation cavity, the driving component 19 pushes the baffle 17 to rotate. The mounting cavity opens at one end facing the baffle 17. The driving component 19 includes a driving rod 191 and a driving block 192. The driving rod 191 is inserted into the mounting cavity through the opening. A through hole is opened on the side of the mounting cavity facing the fly 131. The driving block 192 is placed inside the mounting cavity, and one end of the driving block 192 extends out of the mounting cavity through the through hole and contacts the fly 131. A compression spring 196 is provided between the driving block 192 and the mounting cavity. A driving rack 193 is provided at the bottom of the driving block 192. A gear 195 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity. A driven rack 194 is provided on the driving rod 191. The driving rack 193 and the driven rack 194 mesh with the gear 195 respectively. When the driving rack 193 moves towards the bottom of the mounting cavity, the driven rack 194 drives the driving rod 191 to extend out of the opening of the mounting cavity. When the wastewater tank 13 is empty, the fly rim of the wastewater tank 13 is supported on the crossbeam 18. At this time, there is a gap between the bottom of the wastewater tank 13 and the ground. The drive block 192 extends out from the crossbeam 18 to support the fly edge 131, thus forming a gap between the wastewater tank 13 and the ground. As the wastewater tank 13 gradually fills up, its weight increases, pressing the drive block 192 downwards. Ultimately, the meshing of the gear 195 and rack pushes the drive rod 191 out of the opening of the mounting cavity. At this time, the drive rod 191 pushes the baffle 17 to rotate, thereby prompting the staff to replace the wastewater tank 13. This makes it more convenient to use and prevents the wastewater in the wastewater tank 13 from overflowing.

[0030] Compared to existing technologies, the rice steamer 2 of this utility model can be placed directly on the support platform during actual use, with the support frame 1 surrounding it to hide the drain valve 21 at the bottom of the rice steamer 2, making it more aesthetically pleasing. Simultaneously, an inspection port 15 is provided at the location corresponding to the drain valve 21, and the inspection port 15 is sealed with a separate sealing plate 151. When maintenance or opening the drain valve 21 is required, the sealing plate 151 can be directly removed, making it more convenient to use. Furthermore, the support platform in this embodiment can be directly connected to the municipal sewer or use a wastewater tank 13 to collect water. When the wastewater tank 13 is full, the baffle 17 rotates to indicate that the wastewater tank 13 should be replaced in time, preventing water from overflowing, making it even more convenient to use.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
