Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a steamer and cooking container. Background Technology

[0002] A steamer is a cooking utensil used for steaming food, commonly used to make steamed dishes, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and other similar foods. A steamer consists of a pot body and a steaming rack. The steaming rack is placed on the pot body, and the food to be steamed is placed on the rack. In existing steamers, when the steaming rack needs to be removed from the steamer for cleaning, the user has to directly touch and handle it, which is inconvenient and poses a risk of burns. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a steamer and a cooking container, which is easy to remove from the cooking container and can reduce the risk of burns to the user when handling the steamer.

[0004] This application provides a steamer rack, which includes steaming plates, a connector, and a lifting member. The steaming plates have through holes; the connector is detachably connected to the steaming plates and covers the through holes; one end of the lifting member passes through the through holes and is detachably connected to the connector, so that the steaming plates and the lifting member are detachably connected through the connector.

[0005] In this design, users can easily remove the steaming rack from the container body using the lifting mechanism, reducing the risk of burns. Firstly, when the user pulls the lifting mechanism, force is transmitted to the steaming rack via a connecting piece. This connecting piece protects the steaming rack during connection, effectively reducing wear and tear and extending its lifespan. Secondly, both the lifting mechanism and the connecting piece are detachable from the steaming rack. For subsequent maintenance, simply replacing the connecting piece ensures the steaming rack functions properly. Furthermore, the steaming rack, lifting mechanism, and connecting piece can be disassembled during packaging and transportation, saving storage space and improving the user experience.

[0006] Optionally, the steamer includes two connectors, which are located on both sides of the steaming plate along the thickness direction and clamp the steaming plate. The lifting member is detachably connected to the two connectors.

[0007] In this solution, the two connectors can clamp the steaming plate along the thickness direction of the steaming rack, which improves the connection stability between the steaming plate and the connectors. Users can steadily pick up the steaming rack. Furthermore, the connection method of the two connectors clamping the steaming plate does not require the steaming plate to have a structure that cooperates with the connectors, which simplifies the structure of the steaming plate.

[0008] Optionally, the connector includes a body portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being located on the outer periphery of the body portion along the thickness direction of the steam rack, the body portions of the two connectors being located within the through hole, and the connecting portions of the two connectors overlapping the two end faces of the steam rack along the thickness direction.

[0009] In this design, the body and the connecting part have a height difference along the thickness direction of the steam rack. This allows the connecting part to better press against the two end faces of the steam rack along the thickness direction when connected to the steam rack, improving the reliability of the connection between the connector and the through hole. Furthermore, the body does not protrude from the through hole, allowing the through hole to protect the body of the connector and extend its service life.

[0010] Optionally, the connection between the connecting part and the body part has an arc-shaped part, the sidewall of the through hole has a rounded corner, and the arc-shaped part wraps around the rounded corner.

[0011] In this design, the arc-shaped portion of the connector, when fitted with rounded corners, reduces wear. The arc-shaped transition between the body and the connector ensures uniform stress distribution, reducing the risk of stress concentration and extending the connector's service life. Furthermore, the larger contact area between the connector and the sidewall of the through-hole allows for better fit and improves the reliability of the connection between the connector and the steam plate.

[0012] Optionally, a gap exists between the body portions of the two connectors along the thickness direction of the vapor plate.

[0013] In this design, the two connectors and the lifting element have a longer connection length along the thickness direction of the steaming plate, which makes the connection between the connector and the lifting element more reliable, and thus the connection between the lifting element and the steaming plate more reliable. During the use of the steaming rack, the lifting element is less likely to fall off the connector.

[0014] Optionally, the connector is further provided with a connecting hole, the lifting member has a recessed portion, the lifting member passes through the connecting hole, and the sidewall of the connecting hole extends into the recessed portion.

[0015] In this design, the structure allows for easy detachable connection between the lifting component and the connecting component. The increased friction between the connecting component and the lifting component improves the reliability between them, thereby ensuring a high level of reliability in the connection between the lifting component and the steaming plate, which in turn guarantees the normal operation of the steaming rack.

[0016] Optionally, the lifting member has a threaded section that passes through one end of the connecting hole and is connected to a fastener, the threaded section forming the recess.

[0017] In this design, one end of the threaded section passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the fastener, so that the lifting member is threadedly connected to the fastener. The fastener can prevent the lifting member and the steaming plate from separating from each other along the thickness direction of the steaming grid.

[0018] Optionally, the through hole is located at the center of the vapor plate.

[0019] In this design, the through hole is located at the center of the steaming plate, ensuring that the steaming plate is subjected to uniform force when the user drives the lifting device, and preventing tilting during the picking process, thus improving the user experience.

[0020] Optionally, a pull ring is also connected to the end of the lifting member that is opposite to the connecting member.

[0021] In this design, when the user needs to remove the steaming rack, the pull ring moves upward along the thickness of the steaming plate, making it easy for the user to remove the steaming rack; when the steaming rack is placed on the main body of the cooking container, the pull ring hangs down along the thickness of the steaming plate, without taking up the volume of the food in the steaming rack.

[0022] This application also provides a cooking container, which includes a container body, a container lid, and a steaming rack, wherein the container lid can be closed onto the container body, and the steaming rack can be placed on the container body.

[0046] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0047] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0050] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0051] This application provides a cooking container, which includes a container body, a container lid, and a steaming rack. The container lid can be closed onto the container body, and the steaming rack can be placed on the container body. The container lid closing onto the container body or the steaming rack creates a relatively sealed space inside the cooking container, ensuring that the food inside is cooked through.

[0052] The cooking container can be equipped with one or more steaming racks. When multiple steaming racks are used, they can be stacked sequentially, with gaps between each layer to allow steam to circulate between the layers, thus achieving steaming and cooking of food within the multi-layered steaming racks. The bottom wall of each steaming rack has multiple evenly distributed ventilation holes to allow steam to pass through and cook the food evenly.

[0053] In some embodiments, the cooking container may be a steamer, a saucepan, a stew pot, a multi-functional pot, etc. This application does not limit the specific type of cookware.

[0054] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a steamer rack, which includes a steaming plate 1, a connector 2, and a lifting member 3. The steaming plate 1 has a through hole 11, the connector 2 is detachably connected to the steaming plate 1, and one end of the lifting member 3 passes through the through hole 11 and is detachably connected to the connector 2, so that the steaming plate 1 and the lifting member 3 are detachably connected through the connector 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, the steamer rack is equipped with a lifting member 3, allowing the user to easily remove the steamer rack from the container body and reducing the risk of burns during handling. Furthermore, the steaming plate 1 and the lifting member 3 are indirectly connected via a connector 2. When the user drives the lifting member 3, force is transmitted to the steaming plate 1 through the connector 2. The connector 2 provides protection during the connection between the lifting member 3 and the steaming plate 1, effectively reducing wear on the material of the steaming plate 1 and extending its lifespan. Additionally, the steaming plate 1, connector 2, and lifting member 3 are detachable, allowing all three to be removed from the steaming plate 1. For subsequent maintenance, simply replacing the connector 2 ensures the steamer rack remains functional. Moreover, the steaming plate 1, lifting member 3, and connector 2 can be disassembled during packaging and transportation, saving storage space and improving the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the steamer includes two connectors 2, which are located on both sides of the steaming plate 1 along the thickness direction and clamp the steaming plate 1. The lifting member 3 is detachably connected to the two connectors 2.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the lifting member 3 is connected to the connecting member 2, the two connecting members 2 can clamp the steaming plate 1 along the thickness direction of the steaming rack, which improves the connection stability between the steaming plate 1 and the connecting member 2. The user can steadily pick up the steaming rack. Moreover, the connection method of the two connecting members 2 clamping the steaming plate 1 does not require setting a structure on the steaming plate that cooperates with the connecting member 2, which simplifies the structure of the steaming plate 1.

[0058] In other embodiments, the steaming plate 1 and the connector 2 can be connected in other ways, such as by snap-fit, i.e., the steaming plate 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the connector 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​mating part, so that the steaming plate 1 and the connector 2 are snap-fitted together. Therefore, the embodiments of this application do not limit the detachable connection method of the steaming plate 1 and the connector 2.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 2 includes a body part 21 and a connecting part 22. The connecting part 22 is located on the outer periphery of the body part 21 along the thickness direction of the steaming rack. The body parts 21 of the two connectors 2 are located inside the through hole 11, and the connecting parts 22 of the two connectors 2 overlap the two end faces of the steaming plate 1 along the thickness direction.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the body portion 21 of the connector 2 is located inside the through hole 11, and the connecting portion 22 overlaps the end face of the steaming plate 1, there is a thickness difference between the body portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 along the thickness direction of the steaming rack. This allows the connecting portion 22 to better press against the two end faces of the steaming plate 1 along the thickness direction when connected to the steaming plate 1, improving the reliability of the connection between the connector 2 and the through hole 11. In addition, the body portion 21 does not protrude from the through hole 11, allowing the through hole 11 to protect the body portion 21 of the connector 2 and improving the service life of the connector 2.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 2 can be a ring structure, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the connector 2 when it overlaps with the through hole 11. In other embodiments, the specific structure of the connector can be a ring-shaped toothed structure, etc. This application does not limit the specific shape of the connector.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two connectors 2 cover the through hole 11 along the thickness direction of the steam plate 1, and the outer periphery of the two connectors 2 overlaps the two end faces of the steam plate 1 along the thickness direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connector 2 covers the through hole 11 of the steaming plate 1, ensuring that the outer circumference of the connector 2 overlaps with the end face of the steaming plate 1, increasing the overlap area between the connector 2 and the steaming plate 1, and thus improving the reliability of the connection between the connector 2 and the through hole 11. Furthermore, when the connector 2 covers the through hole 11 through which one end of the lifting member 3 passes, it can also seal the through hole 11, preventing food from falling through it.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the connecting part 22 has an arc-shaped part 23 at the position where it connects to the main body part 21, and the side wall of the through hole 11 has rounded corners, with the arc-shaped part 23 covering the rounded corners.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connector 2 is provided with an arc-shaped portion 23 with a certain curvature. The arc-shaped portion 23 is located between the connecting portion 22 and the main body portion 21, that is, the main body portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 transition through the arc-shaped portion 23, so that the stress on the connector 2 is uniform, reducing the risk of stress concentration at various points on the connector 2 and improving the service life of the connector 2. In addition, the sidewall of the through hole 11 is rounded. The arc-shaped portion 23 of the connector 2 can wrap around the rounded corner of the through hole 11, so that the connector 2 and the sidewall of the through hole 11 can have a larger contact area and better fit, improving the connection reliability between the connector 2 and the steaming rack 1. When the arc-shaped portion 23 of the connector 2 cooperates with the rounded corner, it can also reduce wear, thereby improving the connection reliability and stability between the connector 2 and the steaming rack 1, allowing the user to steadily pick up the steaming rack, and improving the service life of the connector 2 and the steaming rack 1.

[0066] In one specific embodiment, the main body 21, the arcuate part 23 and the connecting part 22 of the connector 2 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the risk of stress concentration in the connector 2 and ensuring the integrity of the connector 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap 6 between the body parts 21 of the two connectors 2 along the thickness direction of the steam plate 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the two connectors 2 clamp the steaming plate 1, and there is a gap 6 between the body parts 21 of the two connectors 2 along the thickness direction of the steaming plate 1, the two connectors 2 and the lifting member 3 have a larger connection length along the thickness direction of the steaming plate 1 (this connection length is the part of the lifting member 3 between the body parts 21 of the two connectors 2), which makes the connection between the connectors 2 and the lifting member 3 more reliable, and thus makes the connection between the lifting member 3 and the steaming plate 1 more reliable. During the use of the steaming rack, the lifting member 3 is not easy to fall off the connectors 2.

[0069] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connector 2 is also provided with a connecting hole 211, and the lifting member 3 has a recessed portion. The lifting member 3 passes through the connecting hole 211, and the side wall of the connecting hole 211 extends into the recessed portion.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the lifting member 3 is connected to the connecting member 2, one end of the lifting member 3 passes through the connecting hole 211, and the side wall of the connecting hole 211 can extend into the recess, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the lifting member 3 and the connecting member 2. This structure can easily achieve a detachable connection between the lifting member 3 and the connecting member 2. In addition, the friction of the connecting member 2 increases when it is connected to the lifting member 3, which improves the reliability between the connecting member 2 and the lifting member 3, thereby making the connection reliability between the lifting member 3 and the steaming plate 1 higher, and providing a guarantee for the normal operation of the steaming rack.

[0071] The lifting component 3 has at least two recesses, which are used to cooperate with the two connecting components 2 respectively.

[0072] In one specific embodiment, the lifting member 3 and the connecting member 2 are detachably connected by a fastener 5. That is, the lifting member 3 has a threaded section 31, and one end of the threaded section 31 passes through the connecting hole 211 and is connected to the fastener 5, so that the lifting member 3 and the fastener 5 are threadedly connected. The fastener 5 can prevent the lifting member 3 and the steaming plate 1 from separating from each other along the thickness direction of the steaming grid.

[0073] In this embodiment, the space between adjacent threads of the external thread of the lifting member 3 forms the aforementioned recess, that is, the body portion 21 of the connector 2 can be engaged between adjacent threads, thereby making the connector 2 and the external thread of the lifting member 3 detachably connected.

[0074] The fastener 5 can be a nut, which can abut against the connector 2 to support the connector 2.

[0075] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 11 is located at the center of the steam plate 1.

[0076] In this embodiment, the through hole 11 is located at the center of the steaming plate 1, which ensures that the steaming plate 1 is subjected to uniform force when the user drives the lifting component 3, and there will be no tilting during the picking process, thus improving the user experience.

[0077] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting hole 211 of the connector 2 is also located in the center, so that when the connector 2 is connected to the lifting member 3, the lifting member 3 is located in the center of the connector 2, and the force on the connector 2 is even when the user drives the lifting member 3, which improves the user experience.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, a pull ring 4 is also connected to one end of the lifting component 3 that is away from the connecting component 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the user needs to take the steaming rack, the pull ring 4 moves upward along the thickness direction of the steaming plate 1, making it easy for the user to take the steaming rack; when the steaming rack is placed on the main body of the cooking container, the pull ring 4 hangs down along the thickness direction of the steaming plate 1, without taking up the volume of the food in the steaming rack.

[0080] The lifting member 3 has a mounting hole 32 at the end away from the steaming plate 1. The pull ring 4 can be detachably installed in the mounting hole 32, and the pull ring 4 can rotate relative to the lifting member 3 along the thickness direction of the steaming plate 1.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, to ensure that the user has sufficient space to drive the lifting component 3, the end of the lifting component 3 away from the steaming plate 1 has a certain length. The specific structure of the lifting component 3 can be cylindrical. In other embodiments, the specific structure of the lifting component 3 can also be a conical column, etc. This application does not limit the specific structure of the lifting component 3.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the steaming rack 1 has a flange 12 extending outward along the thickness direction of the steaming rack. The flange 12 is used to overlap with the side wall of the pot body to improve the installation stability of the steaming rack in the cooking container.

[0083] The above descriptions are merely specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, but the protection scope of the embodiments of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of the embodiments of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
