Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steaming and cooking technology, specifically to a multi-layer steamer structure for steaming black rice. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-layer steamer for glutinous rice is a traditional cooking tool specifically designed for steaming glutinous rice or other steamed foods. Glutinous rice is typically cooked by steaming to retain its aroma and soft, sticky texture. The traditional method involves soaking the glutinous rice (usually soaked in the juice of the leaves of the *Cinnamomum camphora* tree) beforehand to allow it to fully absorb water. The soaked rice is then placed in a steamer and steamed over high heat for about 20-40 minutes, until the grains are fully cooked. This type of steamer can be stacked in multiple layers, allowing for the simultaneous steaming of glutinous rice with different ingredients, such as white sugar, brown sugar, purple sweet potatoes, red dates, pork belly, ham, and shiitake mushrooms, thus improving cooking efficiency.

[0003] The existing technology, as disclosed in CN206062936U, discloses a steamer basket comprising a basket wall, a handle, a basket bottom plate, a support frame, and a water collection trough. The support frame is located at the bottom of the basket wall, and the water collection trough is located between the bent part of the support frame and the basket wall. A drainage hole is provided on the horizontal part of the support frame. In use, soaked black glutinous rice is placed on the support frame. However, some catering businesses often stack baskets containing different flavors together or place them in the same pot for steaming when making black glutinous rice. Therefore, after steaming, it is not possible to clearly distinguish the flavor of the black glutinous rice in the basket, and it is necessary to open them one by one to observe, which is inconvenient. Therefore, we have made an improvement and proposed a multi-layer steamer basket structure for black glutinous rice. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that it is currently impossible to clearly distinguish the flavor of the steamed black rice in the steamer, requiring the steamer to be opened one by one for observation, which is cumbersome.

[0029] Example: A multi-layer steamer structure for steaming black rice, including a steamer body 1, and further including: a support plate 2 installed inside the steamer body 1, the support plate 2 having a plurality of holes for ventilation; a connecting ring 4 fixedly installed at the lower end of the steamer body 1, the connecting ring 4 being used to insert into the interior of another steamer body 1; an outer shell 5 installed on the outer periphery of the steamer body 1; an annular plate 10 rotatably installed inside the outer shell 5; a plurality of magnetic blocks 11 arranged in a ring array on the annular plate 10; and a through hole opened on the outer shell 5 for observing the magnetic blocks 11.

[0030] Specifically, the ring plate 10 is made of a material that can attract magnets, such as iron. Before use, a mark is made on the first magnetic block 11, such as the flavor and date. When using, according to the flavor of the black rice placed on the support plate 2, the ring plate 10 is rotated to rotate the corresponding first magnetic block 11 to the through hole for easy observation. Then, the steamer body 1 containing the black rice is stacked on another steamer body 1 through the connecting ring 4. After steaming, the flavor mark on the first magnetic block 11 can be observed to classify, transport, sell, and store the products according to the needs. This is convenient for observation and avoids confusion. In addition, products with the date written on them can be disposed of in a timely manner if they are past their expiration date, realizing the dual functions of flavor identification and shelf life management.

[0031] It also includes: a plurality of semicircular grooves 12 formed on the annular plate 10, the semicircular grooves 12 being distributed on the upper and lower sides of the first magnetic block 11; a stop rod 13 slidably mounted on the outer shell 5; and a return spring 14 mounted between the stop rod 13 and the outer shell 5.

[0032] Specifically, the end of the abutment 13 is semi-circular, and the abutment 13 cooperates with the semi-circular groove 12 to position the annular plate 10, so as to prevent the annular plate 10 from rotating during the cooking process or during transportation.

[0033] The outer shell 5 and the first magnetic block 11 each contain two, and the two outer shells 5 and the first magnetic block 11 each form a circle. The outer shell 5 has a groove, and a semi-circular rod 3 is rotatably installed in the groove. The steamer body 1 has an insert block 8 fixedly installed on the outside. The inner wall of the outer shell 5 has an insertion hole 9.

[0034] Specifically, during installation, align the insert block 8 and the insertion hole 9, insert the outer shell 5 into the outer periphery of the steamer body 1, at which point the outer shell 5 forms a circle. Then rotate the semi-circular rod 3 to connect the two outer shells 5, thus completing the assembly of the outer shell 5. This is suitable for when the label needs to be replaced as a whole or when the outer shell 5 is dirty and needs cleaning.

[0035] It also includes: a cover plate 6 rotatably mounted on the outer casing 5, the cover plate 6 being used to close and open the through hole; and a stop plate 7 rotatably mounted on the outer casing 5.

[0036] Specifically, by setting the cover plate 6, the problem of steam generated during cooking being allowed to flow onto the first magnetic block 11, causing oil and other impurities in the steam to adhere to the first magnetic block 11, is prevented.

[0037] It also includes: a mounting plate 15 rotatably mounted inside the housing 5; and a second magnetic block 16 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 15.

[0038] Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the first magnetic block 11, rotate the mounting plate 15, which will then place the second magnetic block 16 near the first magnetic block 11. At this time, the sides of the second magnetic block 16 and the first magnetic block 11 facing each other are mutually repulsive. Then rotate the second magnetic block 16 to change the relationship between the two to mutually attractive. At this time, the first magnetic block 11 can be removed from the annular plate 10, and operations such as cleaning and changing the markings on the first magnetic block 11 can be performed, which is convenient to use.

[0039] The steamer body 1 is slidably connected to the support plate 2 in a vertical manner;

[0040] Specifically, when more glutinous rice is placed on the lower layer and the capacity needs to be expanded, simply slide the steamer body 1 upwards to increase the capacity. The operation is simple and the steaming capacity can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that each steamer maintains a suitable spacing and steam circulation when multiple layers are stacked.

[0041] Working principle: Before use, mark the first magnetic block 11 with a mark such as flavor and date. When using, rotate the ring plate 10 according to the flavor of the black rice placed on the support plate 2, and rotate the corresponding first magnetic block 11 to the through hole for easy observation. Then, stack the steamer body 1 containing the black rice on another steamer body 1 through the connecting ring 4. After steaming, the flavor mark on the first magnetic block 11 can be observed to classify, transport, sell and store the products according to the needs. This is convenient for observation and avoids confusion. The date marked on the first magnetic block 11 can be used to promptly discard expired products, realizing the dual functions of flavor identification and shelf life management.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
