[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a steamer, including a steamer basket structure and a lid structure. One steamer basket structure and one lid structure are used.

[0036] The steamer structure in this embodiment includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2, and a steaming plate 3;

[0037] In this embodiment, a baffle 101 is provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1; the inner cylinder 2 is embedded in the outer cylinder 1 and one end is attached to the baffle 101 to form an inner ring portion, and the other end extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 1 to form a retaining ring portion; a baffle 201 is provided on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 2, and the steaming plate 3 is placed in the inner cylinder 2 and one end is attached to the baffle 201.

[0038] Specifically, the main structures of the outer cylinder 1, inner cylinder 2, and steaming plate 3 are all made of bamboo. An aluminum alloy ring can also be attached to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1 to strengthen the structure. Baffle 101 and baffle 201 can be multiple spaced blocks protruding from the inner wall, or they can be annular protrusions.

[0039] In this embodiment, the distances between the baffle 201 and the two ports of the inner cylinder 2 are H1 and H2, respectively, with H1 being greater than H2. Furthermore, H1 can be 2 or 3 times H2. The principle behind this setting is that when using a single steamer structure, the upright and inverted inner cylinder 2 cause the distance between the baffle 201 and the upper port of the inner cylinder 2 to switch, i.e., H1 and H2. A distance of H1 facilitates the placement of thicker food items, while a distance of H2 is used to place thinner food items to facilitate their removal from the steamer structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the steaming plate 3 includes a seat ring 301, a fixed rod 302 disposed on the seat ring 301 and parallel to each other, and a rotating rod 303 sleeved on the fixed rod 302. The advantage of this arrangement is that when the steaming plate 3 is removed from the inner cylinder 2 and scrubbed, the rotating rod 303 can rotate under the action of force, further reducing cleaning dead corners.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cage cover structure is placed on the outer cylinder 1, and its inner wall fits against the outer wall of the retaining ring to improve sealing. The cage cover structure is provided with a lifting part 403 to prevent burns.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the number of steamer structures used is two or more, and the number of lid structures used is one.

[0044] The distance between the end of the baffle 101 furthest from the inner ring and the port of the outer cylinder 1 is H3, and the height of the baffle ring protruding from the outer cylinder 1 is H4, where H3 is greater than H4. The purpose of H3 being greater than H4 is to ensure that when the steamer structures are stacked, the baffle ring on the lower steamer structure can be inserted into the upper steamer structure without the baffle 101 obstructing its entry, thus ensuring a tight external connection between the two steamer structures and preventing steam escape.

[0045] When using the stacked steamer structures, the upright and inverted inner cylinder 2 can form a variety of combinations. One combination worth explaining is: the distance between the baffle 201 in the lower steamer structure and the upper port of the inner cylinder 2 is H1, and the distance between the baffle 201 in the upper steamer structure and the upper port of the inner cylinder 2 is H2. Compared with using a single steamer structure, the maximum thickness of food that can be placed in the combined steamer structure is increased, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Compared to the steamer in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment adds the following structure: a sliding groove 102 is provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1; and a positioning strip 202 is provided on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove 102.

[0048] The positioning strip 202 extends to the retaining ring portion, and the inner wall of the cage structure is provided with a positioning opening groove 401 that matches the positioning strip 202.

[0049] By connecting the sliding groove 102 and the positioning opening groove 401 respectively by the positioning strip 202, the tightness of the connection between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1 is strengthened, preventing stains from entering the gap between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, and the tightness of the connection between the lid structure and the drawer structure is also strengthened.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] Compared to the steamer in Embodiments 1, 2, or 3, this embodiment adds the following structure: a handle 103 is provided on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The handle 103 includes a horizontal plate 103a, and a vertical plate 103b is provided on the end of the horizontal plate 103a away from the outer cylinder 1; the baffle ring, the horizontal plate 103a, and the vertical plate 103b together form a storage part for placing the steamer lid structure. Furthermore, an inclined baffle 103b1 is formed on the side wall of the vertical plate 103b near the baffle ring; the steamer lid structure has an inclined surface 402 that matches the inclined baffle surface.

[0052] Wherein, the horizontal plate 103a refers to the plate perpendicular to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1, and the shape of the horizontal plate 103a is preferably an arc shape matching the outer cylinder 1; the vertical plate 103b refers to the plate perpendicular to the surface of the horizontal plate 103a, and the shape of the vertical plate 103b is preferably an arc shape matching the horizontal plate 103a. The cooperation between the inclined baffle 103b1 and the inclined surface 402 increases the contact area between the cage cover structure and the handle, preventing the cage cover structure from being placed stably.

[0053] The use case where the lid is placed on the handle is as follows: When it is necessary to open the lid to observe the cooking process or to use the steamer as a food container after cooking, placing the lid directly on the countertop will increase the risk of contamination. Therefore, placing the lid on the handle allows it to be suspended in the air, which is beneficial for maintaining food safety.

[0054] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
