[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6An electric steamer that is easy to add water includes a pot body 1 and several steaming baskets 2 disposed on the pot body 1. The pot body 1 includes an inner liner 11 for holding clean water and a heating component 12 disposed at the bottom of the inner liner 11 for heating the clean water in the inner liner 11. The heating component 12 is composed of a surface substrate of 304 stainless steel and a bottom heating element by brazing. This achieves zero coating on the high-heat-generating parts, high safety performance, and high heat transfer effect of the brazing process. A control panel is provided on the outside of the pot body 1 for controlling the operation of the heating component 12. A drip tray 3, covering the inner pot 11, is provided on the pot body 1. The drip tray 3 has a steam hole 31 communicating with the inner pot 11. A water inlet 32, also communicating with the inner pot 11, is located on the outer side of the drip tray 3. A water inlet 4 is rotatably connected to the water inlet 32. The water inlet 4 has a water inlet trough 41 communicating with the water inlet 32. The water inlet 4 has two positions: outward and inward. When in the outward position, the water inlet trough 41 is open to the outside; when in the inward position, the water inlet 4 is retracted into the water inlet 32. This drip tray 3 effectively prevents residual water from dripping into the water in the inner pot 11 during cooking; it also prevents the boiling water in the inner pot 11 from being mixed with oil from the food, greatly improving the machine's practicality and aesthetics; and the water in the inner pot 11 can be boiled and reused multiple times. Meanwhile, water is added via the water filling component 4, which effectively avoids the hassle of consumers lifting the entire steamer 2 and adding water. After adding water, it can be pushed back and integrated with the body, perfectly preserving the appearance of the body. This achieves a space-saving, unobstructed view of the usage scene and a clean and tidy appearance, thereby improving consumer safety and the convenience of the product.

[0028] In this design, the water filling assembly 4 includes a hinge shaft 42 disposed on the left or right side of the water inlet 32, and a water filling plate 43 rotatably disposed on the hinge shaft 42. The water filling plate 43 is fan-shaped, and a water filling trough 41 is disposed on the water filling plate 43. The inner side of the water filling plate 43 has an opening 431 that communicates with the water inlet 32. The water filling plate 43 can open and close up to 111°, thereby allowing the water filling plate 43 to rotate out and back within the water inlet 32, thus adding water to the inner tank 11.

[0029] In this design, the bottom of the water filling tray 43 is provided with a limiting mechanism to restrict the rotation position of the water filling tray 43. The limiting mechanism includes a first limiting protrusion 432 disposed on the inner side of the water filling tray 43 and a second limiting protrusion 433 disposed in the middle of the water filling tray 43. The bottom of the first limiting protrusion 432 is lower than the bottom of the second limiting protrusion 433. In this way, the first limiting protrusion 432 can prevent the water filling tray 43 from detaching from the water inlet 32 ​​when the water filling tray 43 rotates out, while the second limiting protrusion 433 can better house the water filling tray 43 within the water inlet 32 ​​and prevent it from rotating out. In addition, there is a certain gap between the first limiting protrusion 432 and the second limiting protrusion 433. After the water filling tray 43 rotates out, the two can be locked on the lower edge of the drip tray 3, preventing the water filling tray 43 from swinging during the water filling process, which would result in the inability to add water and water spilling onto the pot body 1, causing a safety accident.

[0030] In this design, the outer side of the water filling tray 43 and the end away from the hinge shaft 42 is provided with an inwardly recessed pull part 434, so as to facilitate the hand to pull the water filling tray 43 to rotate it out from the water inlet 32.

[0031] In this design, the upper side of the juice receiving tray 3 is provided with a juice receiving groove 33, and the water inlet 32 ​​is located on the lower side of the juice receiving tray 3 and spaced apart from the juice receiving groove 33. The bottom wall of the juice receiving groove 33 has an upward-facing protrusion 34. The steam holes are arc-shaped and evenly distributed 31 on the outer edge of the upper end of the protrusion 34. This effectively prevents the juice in the juice receiving groove 33 from entering the inner liner 11 through the steam holes 31. The area of ​​the steam holes 31 can reach 8.61 cm². 2 This design maximizes the area of ​​the steam holes 31 while preventing juices from dripping into the inner pot 11. Furthermore, the number of steam holes 31 is four, ensuring more even heating of the food and facilitating rapid upward steam flow for cooking the food in the steamer 2. Additionally, the protrusion 34 has upward-protruding partitions 35 located outside the steam holes 31, with adjacent partitions 35 forming a guide groove 36. This allows juices dripping onto the protrusion 34 to flow through the guide groove 36 into the juice collection tank 33, preventing them from entering the inner pot 11 through the steam holes 31.

[0032] In this design, the outer side of the drip tray 3 is provided with an outer edge 37 that can cover the upper end of the inner pot 11, and a handle 38 is provided on the outer edge 37 to facilitate the removal of the drip tray 3 from the pot body 1 for cleaning.

[0033] In this design, the bottom of the drip tray 3 is provided with an energy-concentrating ring structure 39, which is an integral part of the drip tray 3. The energy-concentrating ring structure 39 can quickly heat water to boiling, accelerate steam output, and greatly improve the cooking performance of the product. Furthermore, the design of the energy-concentrating ring structure 39 and the drip tray 3 as a combined integral part, compared with the traditional design of the energy-concentrating ring as a separate part, can better optimize the product's mold cost, labor cost, and significantly improve production assembly efficiency.

[0034] In this design, a visible water window 13 is provided on the outer side of the pot body 1 below the water inlet 32, which can be used to observe the water level in the inner pot 11. By fitting a transparent viewing window to the side of the inner pot 11 in conjunction with the visible water window 13, the water level can be clearly observed during use, making it convenient for consumers to add the appropriate amount of water according to the actual cooking situation.

[0035] In this solution, the steamer 2 is made of bamboo and wood. Compared with traditional pot lids, the bamboo and wood steamer 2 has the advantage of preventing water vapor from condensing and dripping onto the food surface, thus affecting the taste and user experience. At the same time, it meets the health concept and healthy eating pursuit of the majority of consumers.

[0036] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
