Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamer technology, and in particular to a safe steamer. Background Technology

[0002] A steamer is a cooking utensil primarily used to heat food with steam, allowing it to be heated evenly in a sealed environment to achieve the purpose of cooking or steaming. Steamers are usually made of metal (such as stainless steel, aluminum, etc.) and have one or more racks. With the development of technology, traditional steamers have gradually evolved into new forms such as electric steamers.

[0003] An electric steamer is a modern kitchen appliance that uses electricity to heat water and generate steam to cook food. Below are the main components and usage instructions for an electric steamer:

[0004] Existing electric steamers mainly consist of a water tank, heating element, steam generator, steam rack, control panel, and lid. When in use, add an appropriate amount of water to the water tank, then stack the steam racks, and place the food to be steamed inside the steam racks. Through the cooperation of the heating element and the steam generator, the inside of the steam racks is heated by steam, thereby completing the steaming process.

[0005] When using existing electric steamers, adding food to the steaming racks can easily lead to an imbalance in the weight distribution due to the multiple layers of food stacked on top of each rack. The stacking of the racks relies mainly on the fit between the protrusions on the lower surface of the rack and the openings on the upper part of the lower rack. This stacking method can easily cause the upper rack to tilt and tip over into the lower rack when the weight is uneven. Existing electric steamers lack anti-tipping structures, which poses a certain risk when using them. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a safe steamer, including a housing 1. The upper surface of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of steaming racks 2. The top of the steaming racks 2 is provided with a top cover 3. The upper surface of the housing 1 is provided with two anti-tilting components 5. The upper surface of the top cover 3 is provided with two locking components 4. The anti-tilting components 5 include a rotating plate 502 hinged to the upper surface of the housing 1. The rotating plate 502 is slidably connected to a movable plate 501. The side of the movable plate 501 is provided with teeth. The rotating plate 502 is movably connected to a rotating gear 503 that meshes with the teeth on the side of the movable plate 501.

[0031] Specifically, the rotating plate 502 has a groove inside, the movable plate 501 slides inside the groove, and both sides of the movable plate 501 are fixedly connected with limiting protrusions for limiting. The inner wall of the groove is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting protrusions. Two compression springs 504 are fixedly connected inside the rotating plate 502. A movable block 506 is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring 504 near the rotating gear 503, and an abutment block 505 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block 506 near the rotating gear 503.

[0032] Furthermore, rotate the rotating plate 502 to a vertical position, then adjust the movable plate 501 according to the height of the stacked steam racks 2, pull the movable block 506, thereby causing the abutment block 505 on the outer surface of the movable block 506 to separate from the rotating gear 503. Then, through the engagement of the rotating gear 503 with the toothed part on the side of the movable plate 501, the movable plate 501 is driven to rise, thereby abutting against the side of the steam rack 2 located at a high position. After performing the same operation on the anti-tilting components 5 on both sides.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, the locking assembly 4 includes two rotating rods 402 hinged to the top of the movable plate 501. A connecting plate 403 is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods 402. A threaded pin 406 is threadedly connected inside the connecting plate 403. Four insert rods 401 are inserted inside the connecting plate 403. The bottom end of the insert rod 401 passes through the connecting plate 403 and is hinged to a hinge seat 405. The bottom end of the hinge seat 405 is movably connected to an abutment plate 404.

[0035] Specifically, a protrusion 408 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 402 of one locking component 4 near the other locking component 4. A slot that mates with the protrusion 408 is provided at one end of the rotating rod 402 of the other locking component 4 near the protrusion 408. A locking block 409 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot. Both the outer surfaces of the locking block 409 and the protrusion 408 are provided with bevels. The bottom end of the threaded pin 406 passes through the connecting plate 403 and abuts against the upper surface of the abutment plate 404. A limit block 407 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insertion rod 401.

[0036] Furthermore, by rotating the rotating rod 402, the two rotating rods 402 on both sides are rotated and inserted together through the cooperation of the protrusion block 408 and the locking block 409, thereby achieving locking. The threaded pin 406 moves downward to abut against the abutment plate 404, so that the abutment plate 404 abuts against the upper surface of the top cover 3. The limiting block 407 on the outer surface of the insertion rod 401 prevents the insertion rod 401 from separating from the connecting plate 403. The diameter of the circular hole inside the connecting plate 403 is larger than the diameter of the insertion rod 401, so that the insertion rod 401 can tilt, thereby satisfying the movement of the abutment plate 404. The limiting rod is larger than the diameter of the circular hole inside the connecting plate 403. The bottom end of the insertion rod 401 is provided through the hinge seat 405, and the bottom of the hinge seat 405 is movably connected to the upper surface of the abutment plate 404, so that the abutment plate 404 can abut against the upper surface of the top cover 3 with a certain slope, thereby locking the top cover 3 and preventing the top cover 3 from leaking air.

[0037] Working principle: When using the steamer, after stacking the steam racks 2 on the casing 1, rotate the rotating plate 502 to a vertical position. Then, adjust the movable plate 501 according to the height of the stacked steam racks 2, pull the movable block 506, thereby causing the abutment block 505 on the outer surface of the movable block 506 to separate from the rotating gear 503. Then, through the engagement of the rotating gear 503 with the teeth on the side of the movable plate 501, the movable plate 501 is lifted up, thereby abutting against the side of the steam rack 2 located at the higher position. After performing the same operation on the anti-tilting components 5 on both sides, rotate the rotating rod 402, through the engagement of the protruding block 408 and the locking block 409. The rotating rods 402 on both sides are rotated and inserted together to lock them in place. Then, the threaded pin 406 is rotated, and the threaded pin 406 moves downward to abut against the abutment plate 404, so that the abutment plate 404 abuts against the upper surface of the top cover 3. The limiting block 407 on the outer surface of the insertion rod 401 prevents the insertion rod 401 from separating from the connecting plate 403. The bottom end of the insertion rod 401 is connected to the hinge seat 405, and the bottom of the hinge seat 405 is movably connected to the upper surface of the abutment plate 404, so that the abutment plate 404 can abut against the upper surface of the top cover 3 with a certain slope, thereby locking the top cover 3 and preventing the top cover 3 from leaking air, thus completing the use of the steamer.
