Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam cabinet technology, and in particular to an intelligent multi-functional steam cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Steam cooking is one of the earliest cooking techniques mastered by humankind, dating back to the pottery steamer of the Neolithic Age. This steamer used boiling water steam in the lower layer to cook the grains on top, marking the initial application of steam cooking. As history has progressed, steam cooking tools have been continuously innovated, from pottery steamers to bronze steamers, and then to various modern steam cabinets. Steam cooking technology has gradually matured and is widely used in the processing of various ingredients.
[0003] Most steamers on the market use boiling water and steam from the bottom to cook grains on the top, which can only perform single-function steaming and cannot steam dishes according to space, time, temperature and other requirements. Therefore, a smart, multi-functional steamer is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent multi-functional steamer that solves the problem that most existing steamers use boiling water steam from the lower layer to cook grains on the upper layer, and can only perform single-function steaming, without being able to steam dishes according to space, time, temperature and other requirements.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent multi-functional steamer, comprising a steamer body, a supporting base column at the bottom of the steamer body, a lower door panel on the bottom side wall of the steamer body, a PLC intelligent control panel on the outer wall of the lower door panel, a cabinet door on the side wall of the steamer body, a hinge at the connection between the steamer body and the cabinet door, a door latch on one side of the hinge, a threaded groove on the inner wall of the steamer body, a support plate inside the steamer body, a first threaded bolt at the connection between the threaded groove and the support plate, a sliding groove on the side wall of the first threaded bolt, a basin on one side of the sliding groove, and a rice steamer above the basin.
[0006] Preferably, a pressure valve is provided at the top of the main body of the steamer, a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the main body of the steamer, a water collection trough is provided on the lower side of the cabinet door, and a second threaded bolt is provided at the connection between the water collection trough and the main body of the steamer.
[0007] Preferably, the placement support plate forms a detachable structure with the main body of the steamer through a threaded groove and a first threaded bolt, and the placement support plate forms a sliding structure with the placement basin through a sliding groove.
[0008] Preferably, the placement support plate is provided with multiple sets of equally spaced distribution inside the main body of the steamer, and the side wall contour of the rice steaming basin is adapted to the inner wall contour of the main body of the steamer.
[0009] Preferably, the cabinet door is connected to the main body of the steamer via hinges to form a rotating structure.
[0010] Preferably, the water collection trough in front of the door is detachably connected to the main body of the steamer via a second threaded bolt.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This intelligent multi-functional steamer is equipped with a rice steaming basin and a placement basin. The rice steaming basin can heat and steam grains, while the placement basin can hold plates or soup bowls for steaming dishes. The threaded groove and first threaded bolt allow for easy disassembly and assembly of the placement support plate to adjust the distance between the support plates, making it convenient to place taller dishes or plates. Furthermore, the device is equipped with a PLC intelligent control panel for setting water level, anti-dry burning, temperature, and time. This avoids the limitations of traditional steamers that primarily use boiling water and steam from the lower layer to cook grains, which can only perform simple cooking and cannot steam dishes according to space, time, temperature, or other requirements.
[0013] 2. This intelligent multi-functional steamer is equipped with a water collection tray and a drain valve at the front of the door. After the food is cooked in the multi-functional steamer, the door needs to be opened to take out the food. Since the food has just been steamed, a lot of water droplets will remain on the inner wall of the door. Opening the door will allow the water droplets to flow down. The water collection tray at the front of the door can collect these droplets and prevent water stains from dripping onto the floor and causing slippery conditions. Secondly, the drain valve can drain excess or used water for subsequent use. Furthermore, the second threaded bolt allows the water collection tray at the front of the door to be disassembled and cleaned, increasing its aesthetic appeal. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an intelligent multi-functional steamer includes a steamer body 1, a supporting base column 2 at the bottom of the steamer body 1, a lower door panel 3 on the bottom side wall of the steamer body 1, a PLC intelligent control panel 4 on the outer wall of the lower door panel 3, a cabinet door 6 on the side wall of the steamer body 1, a hinge 5 at the connection between the steamer body 1 and the cabinet door 6, a door latch 7 on one side of the hinge 5, a threaded groove 8 on the inner wall of the steamer body 1, a support plate 9 inside the steamer body 1, a first threaded bolt 10 at the connection between the threaded groove 8 and the support plate 9, a sliding groove 11 on the side wall of the first threaded bolt 10, a basin 13 on one side of the sliding groove 11, a rice steaming basin 12 above the basin 13, and a steam generating component at the bottom of the interior of the steamer body 1. This component is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0022] The placement support plate 9 forms a detachable structure with the main body 1 of the steamer through the threaded groove 8 and the first threaded bolt 10, and the placement support plate 9 forms a sliding structure with the placement basin 13 through the sliding groove 11.
[0023] Multiple sets of support plates 9 are evenly distributed inside the main body of the steamer 1, and the side wall contour of the rice steamer 12 is adapted to the inner wall contour of the main body of the steamer 1. The rice steamer 12 can be used to heat and steam grains, while the placement basin 13 can be used to place plates or soup bowls for steaming dishes.
