Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice steamer technology, specifically a rice steamer designed to prevent scalding. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional rice steamers often expose the trays directly when opened, posing a high risk of high-temperature steam leakage, and multiple trays are prone to misalignment and detachment during operation. This invention addresses these problems by providing a structurally optimized, scald-proof rice steamer. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scalding-proof rice steamer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a scald-proof rice steamer, comprising:

[0005] The cabinet body has a cabinet cover hinged to an opening on one side.

[0006] Along the guide frame, inside the cabinet, a travel groove is opened at the bottom, and several slots are provided on the inner wall, with protrusions provided on the inside of the slots;

[0007] The travel insert is fixed to the bottom of the cabinet and slides with the travel groove to guide the displacement along the guide frame;

[0008] The tray is connected to the guide rail via the slot, and the tray has a groove that engages with a protrusion in the slot.

[0009] The hinge assembly includes a first hinge frame and a second hinge frame. The first hinge frame is hinged to the guide frame, and the second hinge frame is hinged to the other end of the first hinge frame. The bottom of the second hinge frame is slidably connected to the cabinet cover.

[0010] The hinge assembly causes the cabinet cover to extend the tray out of the cabinet body along the guide frame during the opening process, and the extended tray is distributed in a stepped shape from top to bottom;

[0011] The limiting mechanism has a limiting block fixed at the bottom of the second hinge frame, and a limiting groove is opened on the cabinet cover corresponding to the limiting block. The limiting block is slidably connected in the limiting groove to limit the relative displacement between the second hinge frame and the cabinet cover.

[0012] Preferably, the protrusion is an elastic protrusion structure that generates a damping sensation when engaged with the groove, preventing the tray from detaching due to inertia during movement along the guide frame.

[0013] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cabinet cover to improve the convenience of flipping the cabinet cover.

[0014] Preferably, the slots are arranged in decreasing lengths to adapt to the stepped distribution of the tray, thus optimizing the steam isolation and anti-scalding effect during multi-layer steaming.

[0015] Preferably, the double-hinged linkage structure of the hinge assembly enables synchronous displacement along the guide frame and cabinet cover, ensuring stable extension of the tray and preventing steam leakage from the cabinet opening.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] Preventing burns: The stepped trays along the guide rails reduce contact with steam during tray handling.

[0018] Stability: Elastic bump damping and limiting mechanism improve structural stability and prevent pallet detachment or component misalignment.

[0019] Convenience: The handle and stepped design optimize operation, adapting to multi-layer steaming and cooking, and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a scalding-proof rice steamer, comprising:

[0026] Cabinet 1, with a cabinet cover 2 hinged to an opening on one side; a guide frame 3, located inside the cabinet 1, with a travel groove 5 at the bottom and several slots 6 on the inner wall, each slot 6 having a protrusion 9 inside; a travel insert 4, fixed to the bottom of the cabinet 1, slidingly engaging with the travel groove 5 to guide the displacement of the guide frame 3; a tray 7, connected to the guide frame 3 via slots 6, with a groove 8 on the tray 7 that engages with the protrusion 9 in the slot 6; and a hinge assembly, including a first hinge frame 10 and a second hinge frame 11, the first hinge frame 10 and the guide frame 3... The cabinet is hinged, with the second hinge frame 11 hinged to the other end of the first hinge frame 10, and the bottom of the second hinge frame 11 slidably connected to the cabinet cover 2. The hinge assembly allows the cabinet cover 2 to push the tray 7 out of the cabinet body 1 along the guide frame 3 during opening, and the extended tray 7 is arranged in a stepped pattern from top to bottom. A limiting mechanism is used, with a limiting block 12 fixed to the bottom of the second hinge frame 11, and a limiting groove 13 corresponding to the limiting block 12 on the cabinet cover 2. The limiting block 12 is slidably connected within the limiting groove 13, limiting the relative displacement between the second hinge frame 11 and the cabinet cover 2. The protrusion 9 is an elastic protrusion structure that generates damping when engaged with the groove 8, preventing the tray 7 from detaching due to inertia during movement along the guide frame 3. A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cabinet cover 2, improving the ease of flipping the cabinet cover 2. The slots 6 are designed with decreasing lengths to accommodate the stepped distribution of the tray 7, optimizing steam isolation and anti-scalding effects during multi-layer steaming. The double-hinged linkage structure of the hinge assembly allows the guide frame 3 and the cabinet cover 2 to move synchronously, ensuring the stable extension of the tray 7 and preventing steam leakage from the opening of the cabinet 1.

[0027] Specifically, when opened: the cabinet cover 2 flips over and forms a double-hinged linkage structure through the first hinge frame 10 and the second hinge frame 11 inside the hinge assembly, so that the cabinet cover 2 moves synchronously along the guide frame 3 and the travel spokes 4 along the guide frame 3, and the tray 7 extends in a stepped shape to disperse steam and reduce the risk of burns; the elastic protrusion 9 dampens to prevent the tray 7 from falling off.

[0028] Specifically, when closed: the cabinet cover 2 flips over and retracts into the interior of the cabinet 1 along the guide frame 3 under the push of the hinge assembly, and the tray 7 resets along the guide frame 3.

[0029] When steaming rice, the heating mechanism installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1 can generate heat and steam, thereby heating the tray 7.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
