Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam cabinet technology, specifically to an intelligent, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving steam cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] A steamer is a kitchen appliance that uses steam to heat and cook food. It typically consists of a closed steam chamber and a control system.
[0003] CN219422612U discloses a new type of energy-saving and environmentally friendly intelligent rice steamer, including a cabinet body. A hinge is bolted to one side of the cabinet body, and a cabinet door is bolted to the other side of the hinge. A transparent panel is embedded inside the cabinet door. Partitions are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the cabinet. A heating element is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the cabinet. Universal wheels are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cabinet in a matrix arrangement. An inverted conical disc is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cabinet. This new energy-saving and environmentally friendly intelligent rice steamer, through the inverted conical disc at the top of the cabinet, allows water vapor to adhere to the surface of the disc while evaporating water from the water storage tank at the bottom of the cabinet. After steaming, opening the cabinet door allows the adhered water vapor to flow back into the water storage tank through the inner wall at the rear of the cabinet, saving workers the time of cleaning the inside of the cabinet and also ensuring the reuse of some water.
[0004] However, the steamer in this patent still has some drawbacks:
[0005] In this patent, when it is necessary to remove the rice tray from the steamer, the traditional method is still required. The operator holds a wet towel in the cabinet to hold the two ends or the front end of the rice tray, and then pulls the rice tray out. Because the temperature inside the cabinet is high and it is filled with hot steam, the operation is inconvenient and easy to get burned. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0030] 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.
[0031] Example: Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving steamer, including a cabinet body 1, a base 2, a cabinet door 3, a rice tray 4, and a heating box 5. The cabinet body 1 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 2. The cabinet door 3 is hinged to the opening of the cabinet body 1. A sealing plate 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet door 3, and the sealing plate 31 is in movable contact with the side wall at the opening of the cabinet body 1. The heating box 5 is fixedly installed inside the base 2. A water inlet pipe 51 and a drain pipe 52 are fixedly installed on one side of the heating box 5. Heating water can be added into the heating box 5 through the water inlet pipe 51, and the drain pipe 52 is used to discharge the heating water in the heating box 5. The rice tray 4 is movably installed inside the cabinet body 1. Food is placed inside the rice tray 4, which is then placed inside the cabinet 1. As the cabinet door 3 closes, the heating box 5 heats the water electrically, generating high-temperature steam that cooks the food in the rice tray 4. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a sliding component 6 for the rice tray 4. By setting the sliding component 6, the operator can easily pull out the rice tray 4 to avoid burns. The cabinet door 3 and the sealing plate 31 are equipped with a cooling component 7. By setting the cooling component 7, the cooling component 7 can cool the sliding component 6 to a certain extent, reducing the temperature during operation and further preventing burns.
[0032] The sliding assembly 6 includes two mounting plates 61. Threaded holes 69 are provided at the four corners of the mounting plates 61. Several mounting bolts 68 are threadedly installed on both sides of the cabinet 1. One end of each mounting bolt 68 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 69. By setting the mounting bolts 68 and the threaded holes 69, the mounting plates 61 can be fixed inside the cabinet 1. At the same time, the mounting plates 61 can be disassembled by the mounting bolts 68 for easy maintenance. Several L-shaped support plates 62 are evenly distributed on opposite sides of the two mounting plates 61. The bottom of the rice tray 4 is in contact with the upper surface of the L-shaped support plate 62. By setting the L-shaped support plates 62, the two L-shaped support plates 62 can support the rice tray 4, allowing the rice tray 4 to be stably placed inside the cabinet 1.
[0033] Two mounting plates 61 are each fixedly provided with several evenly distributed fixing strips 63 on opposite sides. A slot 64 is provided on one side of the fixing strip 63. A locking block 65 is fixedly provided at one end of the L-shaped tray 62. The locking block 65 and the inner wall of the slot 64 are slidably connected. By setting the locking block 65 and the slot 64, the locking block 65 can slide horizontally along the inner wall of the slot 64, thereby ensuring that the L-shaped tray 62 moves horizontally. The other end of the two L-shaped trays 62 is fixedly provided with a U-shaped pull rod 66. A rubber sleeve 67 is fixedly provided in the middle of the U-shaped pull rod 66. By setting the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67, the rubber sleeve 67 can facilitate the operation of the operator. By holding the rubber sleeve 67 and pulling the U-shaped pull rod 66, the U-shaped pull rod 66 makes the two L-shaped trays 62 move horizontally in the cabinet 1. The two L-shaped trays 62 make the rice tray 4 move synchronously, thereby making it easy to remove the rice tray 4.
[0034] The cooling assembly 7 includes a storage cavity 72, into which bagged ice can be placed. Several storage cavities 72 are provided, equidistantly distributed on the cabinet door 3. Each storage cavity 72 has a cover 71, which seals the front of the cavity. Opening the cover 71 allows bagged ice to be placed inside. A protrusion 711 is fixedly provided on one side of the cover 71, facilitating downward pressure by the operator to open the front of the storage cavity 72. A U-shaped sealing strip 74 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the cover 71, making contact with the inner wall of the storage cavity 72. The U-shaped sealing strip 74 improves the seal between the cover 71 and the storage cavity 72, preventing cold air leakage. The cabinet door 3 has equidistantly distributed... Several shrinkage grooves 721 are located below and connected to the storage cavity 72. Several Z-shaped elastic elements 73 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the shrinkage grooves 721. One end of the Z-shaped elastic elements 73 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the cover plate 71. By setting the shrinkage grooves 721 and Z-shaped elastic elements 73, when the cover plate 71 is pressed down by the protrusion 711, the cover plate 71 can enter the shrinkage grooves 721, and at the same time, the Z-shaped elastic elements 73 contract. When the downward pressing of the protrusion 711 stops, the Z-shaped elastic elements 73 extend and reset, pushing the cover plate 71 and the U-shaped sealing strip 74 to rise, sealing and closing the front side of the storage cavity 72. A sponge pad 75 is movably installed in the storage cavity 72. By setting the sponge pad 75, when bagged ice is placed inside the storage cavity 72, the cold air emitted by the ice can be absorbed by the sponge pad 75. At the same time, the sponge pad 75 can block the high-temperature water vapor in the cabinet 1 to a certain extent.
[0035] The sealing plate 31 has several equally spaced storage slots 76. The storage cavity 72 is connected to the storage slots 76. The storage slots 76 are horizontally aligned with the U-shaped pull rod 66. A storage slot 77 is provided in the middle of the storage slot 76. The rubber sleeve 67 is horizontally aligned with the storage slot 77. By setting the storage slots 76 and 77, when the cabinet door 3 is closed, the U-shaped pull rod 66 enters the storage slot 76 and the rubber sleeve 67 enters the storage slot 77. The sponge pad 75 contacts the outer wall of the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67. The low-temperature sponge pad 75 can cool the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67 to prevent them from getting too hot.
[0036] Working principle: When in use, the operator presses down on the protrusion 711, which causes the cover plate 71 and the U-shaped sealing strip 74 to move downward into the shrinkage groove 721. The Z-shaped elastic element 73 contracts, and then the bagged ice cubes are placed in the storage cavity 72 (the frequency of filling ice cubes depends on the melting speed of the ice cubes, not on filling after each steaming). Then, the protrusion 711 is released, and the Z-shaped elastic element 73 extends and resets, pushing the cover plate 71 and the U-shaped sealing strip 74 to rise vertically and reset, sealing the front side of the storage cavity 72.
[0037] At this time, the cold air emitted by the ice cubes is absorbed by the sponge pad 75, and the sponge pad 75 is in a low temperature state. The low temperature state of the sponge pad 75 cools the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67, preventing the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67 from getting too hot. At the same time, the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67 are hidden in the first storage slot 76 and the second storage slot 77, which to a certain extent isolates the high temperature steam in the cabinet 1, preventing the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67 from getting too hot.
[0038] After the food in the rice dish 4 is steamed, the operator opens the cabinet door 3. As the cabinet door 3 is opened, the U-shaped pull rod 66 and the rubber sleeve 67 gradually separate from the first storage slot 76 and the second storage slot 77.
[0039] Subsequently, the operator holds the rubber sleeve 67 and pulls the U-shaped lever 66. The U-shaped lever 66 moves the rice tray 4 horizontally out of the cabinet 1 through the two L-shaped support plates 62, thus facilitating the quick removal of the rice tray 4. Compared with the existing technology that operates inside the cabinet 1, this avoids burns to the hands.

The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0041] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
