Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice steamer technology, specifically a rice steamer with a rotating stirring function. Background Technology
[0002] Existing rice steaming processes require multiple steps, including manual cooking, draining, water changing, and re-steaming, which are cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. While traditional rice steaming equipment uses a steaming chamber with built-in heating elements, it still has significant shortcomings: its function is limited to simple heating, lacking automatic stirring after rice and water separation, resulting in insufficient rice fluffiness; it is also difficult to disassemble, maintain, and clean, and the simple snap-fit design between the steaming chamber and the outer shell makes quick separation difficult; the equipment's sealing is insufficient, allowing steam to leak through gaps and causing heat loss; furthermore, water level control relies on manual observation, and the lack of intelligent linkage between heating and drainage processes easily leads to uneven cooking. Therefore, we propose a rice steamer with a rotating stirring function. Utility Model Content

[0041] The working principle of the rice steamer with a rotating stirring function provided by this utility model is as follows: First, rice is poured into the steaming mesh pot 52. After pouring, the steaming mesh pot 52 is placed into the rotating mesh pot 51, with the steaming mesh pot 52 fitting against the inner wall of the rotating mesh pot 51. Then, the mesh cover 53 is placed on top. The mesh cover 53 has two hooks 95 on it, which are connected to two hooks 96 under the action of four torsion springs 94. After connection, the mesh cover 53 is fixed. After the mesh cover 53 is fixed, it is moved into the steaming chamber 29. Water is added internally, and after water addition, the lid 23 is closed.

During the rice cooking stage, the PLC controller 28 controls the heating element 10 to heat the water in the cooking chamber 29. The liquid level sensor 19 monitors the water level in real time. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, water is added. The water pump 82 of component 8 automatically replenishes water to the cooking chamber 29 through the water outlet pipe 83, ensuring that the rice grains fully absorb water and expand. After the rice is cooked, the solenoid valve 14 opens the drain pipe 13 to discharge excess water. At the same time, the reduction motor 33 drives the left turntable 31 to rotate through the rotating drum 34, causing the rotating mesh chamber 51 and the internal steaming mesh pot 52 to rotate at a uniform speed. Centrifugal force is used to evenly disperse the rice grains and improve their fluffiness. After entering the constant temperature steaming stage, the temperature sensor 17 feeds back the temperature data inside the cooking chamber 29 to the PLC controller 28 in real time. Precise temperature control is achieved by dynamically adjusting the power of the heating element 10 to ensure even cooking of the rice. After steaming, the user can open the lid 23 by pulling the handle 24, pull the pull ring 73 outward to release the lock of the second square clip 62 on the turntable 31 in the second connecting component 6, and directly pull the rotating mesh liner 51 to remove the steaming mesh pot liner 52. When disassembling the steaming box 29, pull the steaming box 29 upward to make the clip 12 disengage from the slot of the outer shell 1 of the rice cooker so that the whole thing can be pulled out. At the same time, pull out the water tank 16 to clean the wastewater, realizing quick maintenance throughout the entire process.
[0042] It is worth noting that the PLC controller 28 disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically a Siemens S7-200. The display 27, geared motor 3, water pump 82, electric heating element 10, solenoid valve 14, temperature sensor 17 and liquid level sensor 19 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The PLC controller 28 controls the operation of the display 27, geared motor 3, water pump 82, electric heating element 10 and solenoid valve 14 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
