Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steamers, specifically relating to a steamer. Background Technology
[0002] A steamer is a kitchen appliance that cooks food by conducting heat through steam. It mainly consists of a pot body, a steaming rack (steamer tray), and a lid. Its working principle is that water is poured into the bottom of the pot body and heated to generate steam. The steam rises and passes through the holes in the steaming rack, using the heat of the high-temperature steam to cook the food. To prevent the bottom of the steaming rack from being damaged by direct contact with the hot pot body and to prevent excessive heat transfer, most steamers have a heat insulation pad between the bottom of the steaming rack and the bottom of the pot. However, most existing heat insulation pads are designed to be integrally formed with the steaming rack or embedded and fixed in place, making it difficult to thoroughly remove food residue and grease during cleaning. Long-term use can easily lead to bacterial growth. Furthermore, when the heat insulation pad wears out or ages, the entire steaming rack needs to be replaced, increasing the cost of use. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steamer that addresses the aforementioned problems.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a steamer, including a pot body, a heat insulation pad, a loading inner pot, and a pot lid. The lower surface of the heat insulation pad is provided with a plurality of first support strips for supporting the bottom of the pot body. The heat insulation pad is provided with a plurality of first through holes arranged in an array. A basin-shaped groove is provided at the center of the heat insulation pad. A vertically upward fixed lifting piece is provided in the middle of the basin-shaped groove. The bottom surface of the loading inner pot is provided with an upwardly tapering clearance groove. The bottom of the basin-shaped groove is provided with second through holes on both sides of the lifting piece. The lower surface of the loading inner pot is provided with a plurality of second support strips for supporting the upper surface of the heat insulation pad. The heat insulation pad is also provided with a limiting protrusion ring for limiting and abutting the side of the second support strip. The distance between the outer wall of the loading inner pot and the inner wall of the pot body is greater than the distance between the side of the heat insulation pad and the inner wall of the pot body.
[0005] Furthermore, both sides of the lifting piece are provided with a plurality of first anti-slip protrusions.
[0006] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the heat insulation pad is provided with a number of reinforcing ribs, and any one of the reinforcing ribs is spaced apart between two adjacent first support strips.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner pot is provided with several partition plates, and a connecting column is vertically provided at the center of the inner pot. One side of each partition plate is gathered and fixed on the connecting column, and the other side is fixed on the inner surface of the inner pot.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the partition plate near the middle of the pot body extends upward to form a lifting plate. The lifting plate extends upward relative to the opening of the inner pot, and the upper end of the lifting plate is higher than the plane where the opening of the inner pot is located.
[0009] Furthermore, both sides of the lifting plate are provided with a number of second anti-slip protrusions.
[0010] This invention features a removable heat insulation pad and steamer rack, facilitating easy cleaning and replacement of the heat insulation pad. The simple installation method improves assembly and disassembly efficiency. Multiple sets of first through holes on the heat insulation pad ensure even steam conduction, preventing localized heat buildup. A vertically fixed lifting tab in the center of the groove allows users to easily lift the heat insulation pad with one hand, avoiding burns from contact with hot water at the bottom. The lifting tab is also embedded in the center of the heat insulation pad through a basin-shaped groove, preventing the inner pot's recessed slot from occupying too much space at the bottom of the inner pot. Furthermore, the second through holes within the basin-shaped groove ensure steam circulation and even heating in the center of the inner pot's bottom surface. The distance between the outer wall and the inner wall of the inner pot ensures steam circulation on the sides and top and bottom of the inner pot, resulting in high cooking efficiency.

[0020] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific examples and accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model describes a steamer, including a pot body 1, a heat insulation pad 2, an inner pot 3, and a lid 4. The lower surface of the heat insulation pad 2 is provided with several first support strips 21 for supporting the inner bottom of the pot body 1. The heat insulation pad 2 has several sets of first through holes 22 arranged in an array. A basin-shaped groove 23 is provided at the center of the heat insulation pad 2, and a vertically upward-fixed lifting piece 231 is provided in the middle of the basin-shaped groove 23. The bottom surface of the inner pot 3 tapers upwards from the center. The inner pot 3 is provided with a recessed groove 31. The bottom of the basin-shaped groove 23 is provided with second through holes 232 on both sides of the lifting piece 231. The lower surface of the inner pot 3 is provided with a plurality of second support strips 32 for supporting the upper surface of the heat insulation pad 2. The heat insulation pad 2 is also provided with a limiting protrusion ring 24 for limiting and abutting the side of the second support strip 32. The distance between the outer wall of the inner pot 3 and the inner wall of the pot body 1 is greater than the distance between the side of the heat insulation pad 2 and the inner wall of the pot body 1.
[0022] In use, the heat insulation pad 2 is placed at the bottom of the pot body 1, and the inner pot 3 is placed on the heat insulation pad 2. The inner pot 3 is supported on the upper surface of the heat insulation pad 2 by the second support bar 32. The limiting protrusion 24 abuts against the side of the second support bar 32 to achieve horizontal positioning of the inner pot 3 and prevent the inner pot 3 from sliding. The heat insulation pad 2 is supported on the inner bottom of the pot body 1 by the circumferential first support bar 21, forming a suspended structure, which can conduct heat evenly through the bottom space. This utility model is designed with the heat insulation pad 2 and the steaming rack being detachable, which facilitates cleaning and replacement of the heat insulation pad 2. The installation method is simple and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. The multiple sets of first through holes 22 on the heat insulation pad 2 can be used to... The steam is evenly conducted, avoiding local heat accumulation. The lifting plate 231 is vertically fixed in the middle of the groove, making it easy for the user to lift the heat insulation pad 2 with one hand, avoiding contact with the hot water at the bottom and causing burns. The lifting plate 231 is embedded in the middle of the heat insulation plate through the basin-shaped groove 23, avoiding the avoidance groove 31 of the inner pot 3 occupying too much of the bottom space of the inner pot 3. In addition, the setting of the second through hole 232 in the basin-shaped groove 23 ensures the steam circulation and uniform heating in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner pot 3. The distance between the outer wall of the inner pot 3 and the inner wall of the pot body 1 ensures the circulation of steam on the sides and the top and bottom of the inner pot 3, resulting in high cooking efficiency.
[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, both sides of the lifting plate 231 are provided with a plurality of first anti-slip protrusions 2311, which effectively prevent the user from slipping due to wet hands or steam when picking up the heat insulation pad 2 by increasing the surface friction, thus ensuring the stability of operation. In addition, the tactile feedback provided by the anti-slip protrusions can also help the user to quickly locate and operate when the vision is poor, greatly improving the convenience of blind operation.
[0024] In this embodiment of the utility model, the bottom surface of the heat insulation pad 2 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 25. Each of the reinforcing ribs 25 is spaced apart between two adjacent first support bars 21. The reinforcing ribs 25 disperse the force and enhance the compressive strength of the heat insulation pad 2 when bearing the weight of the steaming rack and food, avoiding deformation or breakage due to long-term pressure. At the same time, their staggered layout forms a stable mechanical frame with the first support bars 21, maintaining the flatness of the heat insulation pad 2 during the heating process of the steamer, ensuring that steam can pass through the first through hole 22 evenly, and improving the steaming efficiency.
[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, the inner pot 3 is provided with a plurality of partition plates 33. A connecting column 34 is vertically provided at the center of the inner pot 3. One side of each of the partition plates 33 is gathered and fixed on the connecting column 34, and the other side is fixed on the inner surface of the inner pot 3. During use, the steaming area of the ingredients can be flexibly allocated according to the cooking needs, so as to avoid different foods from mixing flavors and sticking together. The fixing method of the connecting column 34 and the partition plates 33 enhances the stability of the overall structure and effectively prevents the partition plates 33 from deforming or shifting when loading heavy ingredients or steaming multiple layers.
[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the upper end of the partition plate 33 near the middle of the pot body 1 extends upward to form a lifting plate 331. The lifting plate 331 extends upward relative to the opening of the inner pot 3, and the upper end of the lifting plate 331 is higher than the plane where the opening of the inner pot 3 is located. This allows the user to easily pick up and put down the inner pot 3 by gripping the lifting plate 331 without touching the high-temperature area of the inner pot. The position of the lifting plate 331 is concentrated in the middle of the upper part of the pot body 1, which also makes it easy to adjust the lifting angle when lifting and moving the inner pot 3, so as to avoid the inner pot 3 tilting and causing the food loaded inside to spill out.
[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lifting plate 331 has a plurality of second anti-slip protrusions 3311 arranged on both sides. In addition to playing an anti-slip role, it can also evenly distribute the gripping pressure and reduce hand fatigue.
[0028] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to explain the present utility model, not to limit the present utility model. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, simplifications, modifications, etc., made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
