Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a small-capacity energy-saving electric slow cooker that can be used for both stewing and steaming. Background Technology
[0002] Steam pots all require a bottom pot for boiling water and producing steam. The steam is transformed into soup, making the soup more nutritious, healthier, and more delicious. Therefore, the market for steam pots is gradually increasing. With the arrival of the single economy and the aging population (with only 1-2 elderly people in the family), the market demand for steam pots for 1-2 people is growing. Traditional stew pots, stewing pots, electric stew pots, and electric slow cookers all involve adding water directly for boiling or simmering, and they only have one layer, making them single-purpose. The steam produced for boiling soup or water evaporates, and they cannot be used for two or more purposes, which is a waste of energy. Therefore, we propose a small-capacity, energy-saving electric slow cooker that can be used for both stewing and steaming. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the fact that the steam generated by traditional pots for simmering soup and boiling water evaporates, and that they cannot be used for multiple purposes, thus wasting energy. The invention proposes a small-capacity, energy-saving electric slow cooker that can be used for both stewing and steaming.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A small-capacity, energy-saving electric slow cooker for both stewing and steaming includes a pot body set in a heating base, a steam pot set on the top of the pot body, a skirt integrally formed on the top of the steam pot, the steam pot being placed on the top of the pot body and limited by the skirt, a flared tube integrally formed in the middle of the steam pot, the center of the flared tube being through and communicating with the inside of the pot body for steam to pass through, and a top cover set on the top of the steam pot.
[0006] The top of the cover is provided with a set of exhaust holes, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the amount of air output is provided on one side of the exhaust holes.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top cover is compatible with both the pot body and the steam boiler.
[0008] As a further improvement of this invention, a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the pot body.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a lifting block is fixedly installed on the top of the top cover, and the circumference of the lifting block is integrally formed with an annular groove.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of through filter holes are provided on one side of the pot body, and a spout is fixedly installed on one side of the pot body, with all filter holes located on one side of the spout.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is fixed to the surface of the top cover and the vent is located inside the fixed frame. A through plate is inserted into one side of the fixed frame, and a push-pull plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the through plate.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed cover, which is fixed to the surface of the top cover and the vent is located inside the fixed cover. The surface of the fixed cover is provided with a plurality of through adjustment holes, which are evenly distributed. The top of the fixed cover is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve, and a semi-circular pressure plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating sleeve.
[0013] In this application, when stewing, the pot body is placed in the heating base and the top cover is placed on the pot body for stewing. The filter hole allows for both venting and easy pouring of the soup in the pot body. When steaming is required, the top cover is removed, and the steam pot is placed in the pot body. At the same time, the steam pot covers the filter hole to reduce the release of steam, thereby allowing more steam to enter the steam pot. After placing the ingredients, the top cover is closed, and the steam generated during stewing in the pot body enters the steam pot through the horn pipe to steam the ingredients. Excess steam is discharged through the vent hole, and the venting volume can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism to adapt to different ingredients, making it flexible to use and improving the steaming effect (dense ingredients (such as pumpkin) require less air permeability, while delicate ingredients (such as fish fillets) require more air permeability).
[0014] During adjustment, the insert plate is pulled by the push-pull plate, thereby changing the distance between the insert plate and the inner wall of one end of the fixed frame, thus adjusting the air output.
[0015] During adjustment, rotating the rotating sleeve causes the pressure plate to rotate, which in turn opens or closes the adjustment hole, thereby adjusting the air output.
[0016] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the small-capacity energy-saving electric slow cooker that combines stewing and steaming improves cooking efficiency and saves energy through the coordinated use of the pot body, steam pot, and top lid. Simultaneously, the small steam pot inside is not visible during use, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall design that saves space, combining two cooking methods in one pot. This solves the problems of small steam pots lacking efficient bottom pots and stew pots, and the energy consumption and inefficiency of using electric slow cookers alone.
[0017] In this utility model, the small-capacity stewing and steaming energy-saving electric slow cooker, through the setting of the adjustment mechanism, allows the steam output to be adjusted according to different ingredients when steaming, thus adapting to different ingredients, making it flexible to use and improving the effect of steaming dishes.
[0018] This invention improves cooking efficiency and saves energy. The internal steam pot is not visible during use, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and space-saving design, combining two cooking methods in one pot. It solves the problems of small steam pots lacking an efficient bottom pot and stew pot, and the energy consumption and inefficiency of using electric slow cookers alone. Furthermore, the steam output can be adjusted according to different ingredients, making it adaptable to various foods and improving the steaming effect. Attached Figure Description

The combined use of the pot body 2, steam pot 4, and top cover 7 improves cooking efficiency and saves energy. The steam pot 4 is not visible during use, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and space-saving design, integrating two cooking methods in one pot. This solves the problems of the steam pot 4 lacking an efficient bottom pot and stew pot, and the energy consumption and inefficiency of using a single electric slow cooker.
[0026] The top of the cover 7 is provided with a set of vent holes 9. The vent holes 9 are used to exhaust steam and prevent excessive steam pressure. An adjustment mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the vent holes 9 to adjust the amount of steam. The amount of steam vented by the adjustment mechanism 12 can be adjusted to adapt to different ingredients, making it flexible to use and improving the effect of steaming.
[0027] In this utility model, the top cover 7 is compatible with both the pot body 2 and the steam pot 4, so that the top cover 7 can cover both the pot body 2 and the steam pot 4.
[0028] In particular, a handle 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the pot body 2, which makes it easy to pick up the pot body 2.
[0029] It should be noted that a lifting block 8 (which can be annular, hemispherical or square) is fixedly installed on the top of the top cover 7. The circumference of the lifting block 8 is integrally formed with an annular groove (the groove depth is preferably 3-5mm), and the lifting block 8 makes it easy to lift the top cover 7.
[0030] In this utility model, a plurality of through filter holes 10 are provided on one side of the pot body 2, and a spout 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the pot body 2.

[0031] In particular, the adjustment mechanism 12 includes a fixed frame 13, which is fixed to the surface of the top cover 7 and the exhaust hole 9 is located inside the fixed frame 13. A through-hole plate 14 is inserted into one side of the fixed frame 13. A push-pull plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the plate 14. By pulling the plate 14 through the push-pull plate 15, the distance between the plate 14 and the inner wall of one end of the fixed frame 13 is changed, thereby adjusting the air output.
[0032] Example 2, Reference Figure 4 An improved version of Example 1 is a small-capacity, energy-saving electric slow cooker that can be used for both stewing and steaming.
[0033] In this utility model, the adjustment mechanism 12 includes a fixed cover 16, which is fixed to the surface of the top cover 7 and the exhaust hole 9 is located inside the fixed cover 16. The surface of the fixed cover 16 is provided with a plurality of through adjustment holes 17, which are equidistantly distributed. The top of the fixed cover 16 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 18, and the surface of the rotating sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 19 (the pressure plate 19 can be a semi-circular, fan-shaped or petal-shaped structure, and its coverage area is adjustable to 30-70% of the total area of the adjustment holes 17). When the rotating sleeve 18 is rotated, the rotating sleeve 18 drives the pressure plate 19 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the adjustment holes 17 to adjust the air output.
[0034] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the heating base 1 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0035] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto.
