Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice steamers, specifically a central kitchen rice steamer. Background Technology
[0002] A rice steamer is a large kitchen baking device that uses electricity or gas to heat and steam rice. It uses a stainless steel steaming tray as a container and is often used in large canteens in hotels, military units, schools and factories.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220158060U, which discloses a rice steamer, particularly an energy-saving rice steamer for a central kitchen. This utility model provides an energy-saving rice steamer for a central kitchen, comprising a control console, a base plate, a cabinet body, protective doors, and storage boxes. Two base plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the control console, and the cabinet body is fixedly connected to the control console. Protective doors are rotatably installed on the left and right sides of the front of the cabinet body, and storage boxes are evenly spaced and slidably installed inside the cabinet body.
[0004] Existing rice steamers typically use slots in the inner wall of the cabinet to support the trays, resulting in poor stability and preventing timely release of air pressure inside the cabinet, making users susceptible to air blasts when opening the door. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a central kitchen rice steamer that solves the problem that the partitions used to support the trays in existing rice steamers are generally supported by grooves on the inner wall of the cabinet, resulting in poor stability. It also solves the problem that the air pressure inside the cabinet cannot be released in time, and users are easily impacted by air waves when opening the cabinet door.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a central kitchen rice steamer, comprising a cabinet body, multiple partitions slidably connected to the inner side of the cabinet body, a positioning and installation mechanism shared between the partitions and the cabinet body, an electric heating coil provided at the bottom inner side of the cabinet body, rollers installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet body, a drain pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the cabinet body, a cabinet door installed on the front of the cabinet body, a pressure relief pipe fixedly connected to the upper right side of the cabinet body, and a pressure relief mechanism provided on the inner side of the pressure relief pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning and installation mechanism includes a support block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet. The support block contacts the partition, and a positioning block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition. The positioning block engages with the support block. A locking pin is slidably connected inside the support block. One end of the locking pin is inserted into the positioning block, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the other end of the locking pin. A guide block is fixedly connected to the locking pin and slidably connected inside the support block. A guide rod is fixedly connected inside the support block, and the guide rod passes through the guide block and is slidably connected to it. This positioning and installation mechanism allows for rapid installation and positioning of the partition with high stability.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the guide block is provided with ball bearings, and the ball bearings are in contact with the inner surface of the support block. By providing ball bearings, the relative friction between the guide block and the support block can be reduced.
[0009] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the guide block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support block. By providing the spring, the elastic force can be applied to the locking pin through the guide block.
[0010] Preferably, the pressure relief mechanism includes a tapered tube and a filter screen fixedly connected to the inside of the pressure relief pipe. A hollow sleeve is fixedly connected to the filter screen, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow sleeve. A plug is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod, and the plug is slidably connected to the inside of the narrow opening of the tapered tube. A second spring is provided on the inside of the hollow sleeve. By setting up the pressure relief mechanism, the pressure inside the cabinet can be automatically released.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the slide rod, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the hollow sleeve. By providing the second spring, the elastic force can be applied to the plug, thus assisting in its repositioning.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the slide rod, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the hollow sleeve. The limiting block limits the relative sliding of the slide rod within the hollow sleeve.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model provides an installation and positioning mechanism at the bottom of the partition used to support the tray. After the positioning block at the bottom of the partition is inserted into the support block, it can be locked and fixed by a spring-loaded locking pin. This not only makes the partition easy to install and position, but also ensures high stability after installation.
[0015] 2. This utility model provides a pressure relief pipe on the side wall of the cabinet, with a pressure relief mechanism inside the pipe. When the air pressure inside the cabinet rises, the air pressure pushes against the plug and releases the pressure. After the pressure inside the cabinet stabilizes, the plug resets under the action of the spring and re-seals the cone pipe. This process repeats to achieve automatic pressure relief of the cabinet.

A ball bearing 38 is located at the bottom of the guide block 35, contacting the inner surface of the support block 31. The ball bearing 38 reduces the relative friction between the guide block 35 and the support block 31. A spring 37 is fitted onto the outer side of the guide rod 36; one end of the spring 37 is fixedly connected to the guide block 35, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support block 31. The spring 37 allows the elastic force to be applied to the locking pin 33 via the guide block 35.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A pressure relief mechanism 8 is provided inside the pressure relief pipe 7. This mechanism allows for the automatic release of pressure within the cabinet 1. The pressure relief mechanism 8 includes a tapered pipe 81 and a filter screen 82 fixedly connected to the inside of the pressure relief pipe 7. A hollow sleeve 83 is fixedly connected to the filter screen 82. A sliding rod 84 is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow sleeve 83. A plug 85 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 84 and slidably connected to the inside of the narrow opening of the tapered pipe 81.

This completes the positioning and fixing of the partition 2. Then, the food is placed on the partition 2 through the tray. After the cabinet door 9 is closed, the electric heating coil 4 generates steam by heating the water at the bottom of the cabinet 1, thereby heating the food. When the air pressure in the cabinet 1 rises, the air pressure will push the plug 85 and release the pressure. After the pressure in the cabinet 1 stabilizes, the plug 85 will be reset under the action of the spring 86 and re-seal the cone tube 81. This process is repeated to achieve the purpose of automatic pressure relief in the cabinet 1.
