[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A smart steamer with protective functions includes a body 1, a support base 2, a switch door 3, a protective plate 4, and a connecting mechanism 5. The support base 2 is located at the bottom of the body 1, and several support bases 2 are provided. The switch door 3 is located on the front of the body 1 and has an observation window. The protective plate 4 is connected to the switch door 3 via the connecting mechanism 5. The connecting mechanism 5 includes a limiting block 6, a first electromagnet 7, a second electromagnet 8, an electric push rod 9, a connecting plate 10, a locking block 11, a locking groove 12, and a third electromagnet 13. One end of the limiting block 6 is connected to the switch door 3, and the other end of the limiting block 6 is connected to the protective plate. 4. Contact: One end of the first electromagnet 7 is disposed on the limiting block 6, and the other end of the first electromagnet 7 is attracted to the protective plate 4. One end of the second electromagnet 8 is attracted to the switch door 3, and the other end of the second electromagnet 8 is in contact with one side of the protective plate 4. One end of the electric push rod 9 is connected to the side of the body 1, and the other end of the electric push rod 9 is connected to the connecting plate 10. One end of the locking block 11 is connected to the connecting plate 10. The locking slot 12 is opened on the protective plate 4. One end of the third electromagnet 13 is connected to the locking block 11. A controller 14 is provided on the front of the body 1, and the controller 14 is electrically connected to the body 1.

[0023] Working principle: Place the device in the designated location, and support the body 1 with the support base 2 (the bottom of the support base has a wear-resistant layer to enhance anti-slip and wear-resistant performance). Then connect the device to external AC power supply. Figure 1 As shown, open the switch door 3 and place the food into the machine body 1. Use its built-in conventional intelligent steamer function for cooking. When it is necessary to observe the food's condition inside the machine body 1, the operator first turns off the first electromagnet 7, preventing it from adhering to the martensitic stainless steel protective plate 4. Then, push the protective plate 4 so that the slot 12 on the protective plate aligns with the locking block 11. When the locking block 11 extends into the slot 12 to a certain position, the side of the protective plate 4 contacts the third electromagnet 13. At this point, the third electromagnet 13 is activated to attract the protective plate. Then, the electric push rod 9 is activated, extending and moving the protective plate 4 to separate it from the limit block 6, fully exposing the observation window on the switch door 3 for inspection. After the food is cooked, the equipment must be returned to its original position. Figure 1In the current state, ensure the protective plate 4 covers the observation window. If cooking is not complete, return the protective plate to its original position. Repeat the observation steps after a few minutes until cooking is complete. Close the machine body 1, wear protective gloves, open the switch door 3, and remove the food. When the equipment is not in use, keep the protective plate 4 covering the observation window to prevent damage from external objects. When the protective plate 4 needs to be replaced, if... Figure 1 As shown, first turn off the first electromagnet 7 so that it no longer attracts the protective plate 4, then turn off the second electromagnet 8 so that it no longer attracts the martensitic stainless steel switch door 3 and remove the second electromagnet 8. Then push the protective plate 4 so that it loses the limit of the second electromagnet 8 and separates from the limit block 6. The protective plate 4 can then be removed and replaced with a new part provided by the manufacturer (the installation steps are standard industry practice and will not be described here). The electric push rod 9 in the text adopts conventional technology on the market and is composed of a telescopic shell, motor, lead screw transmission structure and switch, etc. Its working principle is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The observation window in the article uses double-layer tempered glass. The inner layer is resistant to high-temperature steam, and the outer layer is covered with an explosion-proof film. Even if it is broken by external impact, it can prevent glass from flying. Together with the external protective plate 4, it forms double protection.

[0025] The unit is a standard smart steamer on the market. The interior mainly includes a steaming chamber, heating elements, and a steam generator. The heating elements are usually electric heating tubes, which heat the water in the water tank to generate steam by turning on electricity. The steam is then introduced into the steaming chamber through pipes to steam the food. The chamber walls are mostly made of stainless steel to ensure high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Multiple steaming racks may be set inside to place the food.

[0026] Its working principle is as follows: the user sets parameters such as temperature and time through the controller 14. After the device is powered on, the heating element works to convert water into steam and send it into the cavity. The cavity maintains a constant temperature environment to steam the food. During the process, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the cavity in real time and feeds it back to the controller 14 to adjust the heating power to ensure the steaming accuracy. The steam generator can control the amount of steam as needed. Some models have functions such as automatic water shortage alarm and over-temperature protection to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. This conventional intelligent steamer uses electric heating and steam circulation to cook food. It is easy to operate and has practical functions.

[0027] In this embodiment, to achieve intelligent operation of the equipment, the controller 14 establishes electrical connections with the electric push rod 9, the first electromagnet 7, the second electromagnet 8, and the third electromagnet 13, respectively. Through this design, the controller 14 can precisely control the working state of each component: when the protective plate 4 needs to be moved, the controller 14 sends a command to the electric push rod 9 to extend or retract, thereby moving the protective plate; at the same time, by controlling the on and off of the first electromagnet 7, the second electromagnet 8, and the third electromagnet 13, the protective plate 4 is attracted or released, thereby completing the exposure and coverage operation of the observation window, ensuring the automated operation of the equipment in different scenarios such as protection and observation, and improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0028] To improve equipment stability, the support base 2 in this embodiment adopts a symmetrical arrangement. Specifically, several support bases 2 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the central axis of the machine body 1 as the reference. By evenly bearing the weight of the machine body and the internal load, the tilting or shaking of the equipment caused by the shift of the center of gravity is effectively avoided. This design not only uses the mechanical balance principle of symmetrical structure to improve the support strength, but also forms a stable support surface through symmetrical fulcrums when placed on uneven surfaces, further enhancing the stability of the equipment during operation. It is especially suitable for the use needs of frequent operation or heavy load in commercial scenarios.

[0029] To facilitate the smooth insertion of the locking block 11 into the locking slot 12, the locking block 11 and the locking slot 12 in this embodiment adopt a matching design. Specifically, the outer dimensions and cross-sectional shape of the locking block 11 strictly correspond to the inner wall contour of the locking slot 12. For example, the locking block 11 can be designed as a trapezoidal or rectangular protrusion, and the locking slot 12 is a corresponding groove structure. The gap between the two is controlled within 0.5mm, which can ensure the smooth insertion of the locking block 11 and prevent the protective plate 4 from shaking during movement through tight fitting. This matching design not only facilitates the electric push rod 9 to drive the locking block 11 and the locking slot 12 to quickly dock, but also forms a reliable mechanical limit when the protective plate 4 covers the observation window. Together with the electromagnet adsorption structure, it forms a double fixation, improving the stability and safety of the protective plate 4 after installation.

[0030] To improve the connection between the support base 2 and the body 1, this embodiment uses welding to fix the two. Specifically, the support base 2 is made of a metal material, such as stainless steel, that is compatible with the outer shell material of the body 1. The bottom of the support base is continuously welded to the bottom frame of the body using arc welding or argon arc welding. The weld height is not less than 3mm, ensuring that the welding strength can withstand the weight of the equipment under full load, typically ≥50kg. After welding, the interface needs to be ground to remove burrs and sprayed with an anti-rust coating to avoid connection failure due to welding stress or corrosion. Compared with bolt connection, this process can reduce the risk of loosening and has no exposed connecting parts, which not only enhances the stability of the overall structure of the equipment but also facilitates daily cleaning. It is suitable for high humidity and frequent movement usage scenarios in kitchen environments.

[0031] To address the issue of wear and tear on the bottom of the support base 2 due to prolonged contact with the ground or objects, this embodiment adds a wear-resistant layer to the bottom of the support base 2. This wear-resistant layer is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base. Specifically, the wear-resistant layer is made of wear-resistant materials with a hardness ≥60HRC, such as tungsten carbide alloy, polyurethane rubber, or ceramic patches. It is tightly bonded to the bottom of the support base 2 through a hot vulcanization process or high-strength structural adhesive, with a thickness controlled between 2-5mm. This design allows the support base 2 to withstand equipment weight typically ≥50kg while reducing bottom wear by more than 70%, extending the service life of the support base. For example, when using a polyurethane rubber wear-resistant layer, its friction coefficient can reach 0.3-0.5, maintaining stable support performance even in humid or oily environments. Furthermore, the surface of the wear-resistant layer can be designed with anti-slip textures to further enhance the stability when the equipment is placed, making it suitable for high-frequency use scenarios such as home kitchens or commercial canteens.

[0032] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

[0033] 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.
