The end panel 110 adopts an integral pressing method, eliminating the need for traditional welding connection steps, reducing production steps, and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing surface appearance of the end panel 110.

[0029] The fourth step surface 114 is higher than the third step surface 113, the third step surface 113 is higher than the second step surface 112, and the second step surface 112 is higher than the first step surface 111; the first step surface 111 is located at the center of the end panel 110, and a steam hood 130 is provided at the center of the first step surface 111.

[0030] In this technology, the food steamer is used in conjunction with a steamer basket. The steamer basket is placed on the end panel 110, and the steam generated by the steam generating component 140 is sent upward through the steam outlet hood 130 to heat and cook the food in the steamer basket.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this technology, the second step surface 112 is suitable for placing a circular steamer of the first specification. The circular steamer of the first specification is supported on the second step surface 112 and waits for the food to be heated.

[0032] Optionally, a second type of round steamer with a larger diameter than the first type of round steamer can be placed on the third step surface 113; the second type of round steamer is supported on the third step surface 113 and waits for the food to be heated.

[0033] Optionally, a third type of square steamer can also be placed on the third step surface 113, with the third type of square steamer supported on the third step surface 113, waiting for the food to be heated.

[0034] This technology, with its multi-tiered stepped surface, can accommodate steamers of various sizes, making it more versatile.

[0035] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The end panel of the main body 100 is square, and the main body 100 as a whole is also cubic in shape; the cubic main body 100 has four sides, all of which are connected and enclosed by metal plates;

[0036] Alternatively, the end panel of the main body 100 can be rectangular, and the main body 100 as a whole can also be rectangular;

[0037] Alternatively, the end panel of the main body 100 can be circular, and the main body 100 as a whole can be barrel-shaped.

[0038] In this technology, a through hole is provided at the center of the first step surface 111, and the steam eye mask 130 can be fixed at the center of the first step surface 111 by welding or by adhesive.

[0039] Inside the main body 100, the steam generating component 140 is connected to the steam outlet hood 130, and high-temperature steam is delivered through the steam outlet hood 130;

[0040] The steam generating assembly 140 can be an electric steam generator or a gas-fired steam generator, depending on the requirements. The specific structure and principle of the electric steam generator and the gas-fired steam generator are based on technologies commonly used in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the steam-emitting eye mask 130 is cylindrical and has steam outlet holes on its periphery. The steam generated by the steam generating assembly 140 is finally sent out through the steam outlet holes.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first step surface 111 is provided in a concave arc shape, and the projection of the first step surface 111 on the horizontal plane is circular.

[0043] Furthermore, the second step surface 112 is arranged in a ring shape and is connected to the outer edge of the first step surface 111;

[0044] When using the first type of round steamer, place the first type of round steamer on the second step surface 112. The condensate produced by the first type of round steamer when heating the food will collect on the first step surface 111 and will then be discharged to a designated place through the return hole.

[0045] In one embodiment, the third step surface 113 is connected to the outer edge of the second step surface 112; the fourth step surface 114 is connected to the outer edge of the third step surface 113; the fourth step surface 114 is located at the edge of the end panel 110.

[0046] The first step surface 111, the second step surface 112, the third step surface 113 and the fourth step surface 114 extend outward from the center of the end panel 110 and are distributed with increasing height, which is suitable for placing various sizes of steamers; and facilitates the integral molding of the entire end panel 110.

[0047] At the same time, the fourth step surface 114 can act as a water barrier to prevent backflow water from dripping onto the ground.

[0048] Since the first step surface 111, the second step surface 112, the third step surface 113 and the fourth step surface 114 are distributed with increasing height from the end panel 110 and there is a height difference, the connecting surface between adjacent step surfaces can be a vertical plane or a slope with a certain inclination, and the connection between the slope and the step surface can be a rounded transition, which makes the feel better.

[0049] In one embodiment, a return hole 103 is provided at the first step surface 111. The return hole 103 can be connected to an underground drain outlet through a pipe to directly discharge the return water to the underground drain outlet.

[0050] Alternatively, the return hole can be connected to a wastewater collection tank via a pipe to recycle wastewater. The wastewater collection tank can be cleaned periodically.

[0051] Alternatively, the reflux port can be connected to the steam generator via a pipe to reuse the reflux water; however, in this case, a filter assembly needs to be installed along the path of the reflux water to filter out food broth, grease, etc.

[0052] In one embodiment, a return hole 103 is provided at the third step surface 113. Similarly, the return hole 103 can be connected to an underground drainage outlet through a pipe to directly discharge the return water.

[0053] Alternatively, the return hole can be connected to a wastewater collection tank via a pipe to recycle wastewater. The wastewater collection tank can be cleaned periodically.

[0057] In one embodiment, the main body 100 has an upper groove 1011 at the upper edge of the opening 101, with the opening of the upper groove 1011 facing downwards; and a lower groove 1012 at the lower edge of the opening 101, with the opening of the lower groove 1012 facing upwards; the upper end of the door body 120 is inserted into the upper groove 1011 and the lower end is inserted into the lower groove 1012 for stable installation; the distance from the inner top surface of the upper groove 1011 to the inner bottom surface of the lower groove 1012 is greater than the height of the door body 120.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, 102 is the edge 102 of the opening of the main body 100, and 1013 is the baffle. The specific purpose of the baffle 1013 will be explained below.

[0059] like Figure 4As shown, during installation, the upper end of the door 120 is tilted and inserted into the upper groove 1011. When the door 120 is fully inserted into the upper groove 1011 and contacts the inner top surface of the upper groove 1011, the lower end of the door 120 has not yet entered the lower groove 1012. Then, the door 120 is moved down and inserted into the upper groove 1011. The door 120 is supported by gravity on the inner bottom surface of the lower groove 1012. At this time, the upper edge of the door 120 is located in the upper groove 1011 and the lower edge is located in the lower groove 1012, thus completing the installation of the door 120.

[0060] During disassembly, lift the door 120 upwards until it contacts the inner top surface of the upper groove 1011. At this point, the lower end of the door 120 is away from the lower groove 1012. Then, tilt the lower end of the door 120 outwards to offset it from the lower groove 1012, and then move it downwards so that the upper end of the door 120 is away from the upper groove 1011. In this way, the door 120 is removed. Both disassembly and assembly are very convenient, reducing the use of clip components.

[0061] In one embodiment, baffles 1013 are provided on the left and right edges of the opening 101. The baffles 1013 abut against the left and right edges of the door body 120. Specifically, after the door body 120 is installed, the baffles 1013 abut against the left and right edges of the door body 120, making the door body 120 more stable to assemble.
