[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A multifunctional intelligent steamer includes a body 1 and a placement mechanism 2. A door 10 is hinged to one side of the front of the body 1, and a handle 11 is provided on the door 10. A controller 12 is electrically connected to the body 1 on the other side of the front of the body 1. The placement mechanism 2 is located on the top of the body 1 and includes a telescopic cylinder 3, a block 4, an electromagnet 5, a draining frame 6, a collection frame 7, and a limiting block 9. One end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to the body 1. The top is connected, and the other end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to one end of the block 4. The other end of the block 4 extends into the drain frame 6. The drain frame 6 has a groove that matches the block 4. One end of the electromagnet 5 is set on the block 4, and the other end of the electromagnet 5 is attracted to the bottom of the drain frame 6. The collection frame 7 is placed on the top of the body 1. One end of the limiting block 9 is on the drain frame 6, and the other end of the limiting block 9 extends into the collection frame 7. The collection frame 7 has a limiting groove that matches the limiting block 9.

[0025] Working principle: When using this multi-functional intelligent steamer, first place the device in the designated location and correctly connect the power cord on the main body 1 to the external mains socket to power the device. Details regarding the specific connection method and socket requirements will not be elaborated here. Then, the consumer holds the handle 11 on the switch door 10 to open the switch door 10, carefully places the food to be processed into the main body 1, and closes the switch door 10 after placing it properly. Next, start the main body 1 by operating the controller 12. At this time, the main body 1 will begin to process the food. It should be noted that...

[0026] The unit adopts the classic structure of common smart steamers on the market. Its internal structure is ingeniously designed, with each part working together to achieve efficient steaming. The main components of the unit include a steam generation system, a temperature control system, and an inner liner assembly. The steam generation system is one of the core parts of the steamer. It rapidly converts water into high-temperature steam through a heating device, typically using an electric heating element or a steam generator. When the power is turned on, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, causing the water to boil and produce steam. This steam is transported to the inner liner through pipes to provide the heat required for steaming the food. The temperature control system is responsible for precisely regulating the temperature inside the inner liner. It consists of a temperature sensor and a controller. The unit consists of a heating device and a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature inside the inner pot in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 12. The controller 12 automatically adjusts the power of the heating device according to the preset temperature value to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range to meet the steaming requirements of different ingredients. The inner pot component, which serves as the space for placing food, is usually made of stainless steel, which has good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Its sealed design ensures that steam will not leak, improves thermal efficiency, and is easy to clean, preventing food residue from breeding bacteria. With these structures working together, the unit 1 can stably and efficiently complete the steaming task, bringing users a convenient cooking experience.

[0027] After the food is processed, due to the high temperature inside the steamer, consumers need to wear protective gloves before taking out the food to prevent burns. If there is other food to be processed while the machine is processing food, it can be temporarily stored in the draining basket 6. The draining basket 6 has a draining function, which allows the water on the food to drain naturally. This water will flow down the draining basket 6 into the collection basket 7 below. The size of the collection basket 7 is designed to be larger than that of the draining basket 6, so as to effectively prevent water stains from not flowing into the collection basket 7.

[0028] When it is found that too much water has accumulated in the drain box 6 and needs to be emptied, consumers can follow the instructions. Figure 1 As shown in the operation method, start the telescopic cylinder 3. After the telescopic cylinder 3 extends, it will drive the drain frame 6 to rise, so that the limiting block 9 on the drain frame 6 separates from the limiting groove opened on the collection frame 7. At this time, the operator holds the handle 8 on the front of the collection frame 7 and slowly pulls the collection frame 7 to separate it from the machine body 1. Then the water in the collection frame 7 can be poured into the sewer or other suitable places. When pulling the collection frame 7, be sure to operate slowly to prevent the water in the frame from splashing out due to shaking and causing unnecessary trouble.

[0029] If the drain box 6 needs cleaning after prolonged use, please refer to the above instructions. Figure 1First, the consumer turns off the power to the electromagnet 5, causing it to lose its attraction to the bottom of the drain frame 6. Since the drain frame 6 is made of martensitic stainless steel, which can be attracted by the electromagnet 5, the attraction disappears after the electromagnet 5 is turned off. Then, the consumer lifts the drain frame 6 upwards, causing the block 4 to detach from the groove on the drain frame 6. This separates the drain frame 6 from the main body 1. The separated drain frame 6 can be rinsed and cleaned with tap water. The specific cleaning method and tools can be selected according to the actual situation, and no special restrictions are imposed here.

[0030] The telescopic cylinder 3 mentioned in this article uses a commonly used electric drive mode. This drive mode uses stable electricity as a power source. Its working process relies on the operation of the motor to drive a series of mechanical structures, thereby achieving the extension and retraction of the cylinder. When the power is turned on, the motor starts to run and generate power. This power is transmitted to the transmission components connected to it. The transmission components cooperate with each other to cleverly convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, pushing the piston rod of the cylinder to extend or retract. Throughout the process, the stability of the electric drive enables the telescopic cylinder 3 to perform its actions accurately and reliably, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of related equipment.

[0031] In actual use, it was found that the collection box 7 was inconvenient to pull. In order to effectively solve this problem, this embodiment has made a targeted design. Two handles 8 are symmetrically arranged on the front of the collection box 7. The handles 8 are fixed to the collection box 7 with a firm connection method, such as welding or high-strength bonding, to ensure that they will not loosen during frequent use, so that users can pull the collection box 7 more easily and steadily.

[0032] When operating this smart steamer, users often find it inconvenient because they cannot directly observe the internal condition of the machine body 1. To solve this problem, this embodiment has been specially optimized in design. An observation window 13 is precisely embedded in the front of the door 10. The observation window 13 is made of a high-temperature resistant and highly transparent material, which does not affect the structural strength of the door and allows users to clearly see the processing status of the food inside the machine body 1 at any time, greatly improving the user experience.

[0033] The original equipment had many inconveniences during operation, which seriously affected the user experience. In order to improve this situation, this embodiment has been optimized by electrically connecting the controller 12 to the telescopic cylinder 3 and the electromagnet 5 respectively. In this way, the user can conveniently control the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 3 and the attraction and release of the electromagnet 5 by operating the controller 12, making the operation of the equipment simpler and more efficient.

[0034] Considering that the stability of the equipment is crucial during operation, this embodiment has been optimized and improved to further enhance the overall performance. In the placement mechanism, several telescopic cylinders 3, blocks 4, and electromagnets 5 are set. Multiple telescopic cylinders 3 work together to more smoothly support and move the drain frame 6; multiple blocks 4 and electromagnets 5 cooperate to enhance the connection stability, effectively prevent the components from shaking or shifting, and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

[0035] In practical use, in order to enhance the connection between the collection frame 7 and the drain frame 6 and ensure the reliability of the equipment, the structure of this embodiment has been optimized. The limiting block 9 is fixedly connected to the drain frame 6 by welding or high-strength adhesive, which ensures that the limiting block 9 will not easily loosen or fall off. This makes the fit between the drain frame 6 and the collection frame 7 tighter and more stable, and improves the overall practicality of the equipment.

[0036] The dimensions and shapes of all components in this structure are not specifically limited here and need to be produced according to the actual situation. The control method of this utility model is controlled by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in this field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail here.

[0037] 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.
