Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam cabinet technology, and specifically to a steam cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Steamers, as a common kitchen appliance, are widely used in the processes of steaming, cooking, and keeping food warm. Their basic principle is to cook by heating a boiler to generate steam.
[0003] However, traditional steamers typically only have one large boiler. Even if the amount of food inside is small, a large amount of water still needs to be heated to power the entire steamer, resulting in energy waste and high energy consumption. In addition, different foods have different steaming requirements, and traditional steamers cannot meet the need to heat different foods simultaneously.
[0004] Because traditional steamers have a single, fixed steam vent location, and are often partially blocked by trays, and because steam tends to concentrate in certain areas when it flows out, some trays do not receive enough steam, resulting in uneven heating and poor steaming or cooking of food. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steamer that improves the poor steaming effect of existing steamers.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0042] Example
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a steamer, including a cabinet body 1; the cabinet body 1 is provided with at least one steaming chamber 10 having a cabinet door 101, and the bottom of the cabinet body 1 is provided with a steam generating part 14 communicating with the steaming chamber 10; a rotating shaft 102 and a plurality of rotating trays 1021 provided on the rotating shaft 102 are provided inside the steaming chamber 10, and a driving device 1022 for driving the rotating shaft 102 to rotate is provided on the cabinet body 1; at least one steam venting area 10211 is provided on the rotating tray 1021.
[0044] Specifically, the steamer is equipped with at least one independent steaming chamber 10, each of which can be precisely controlled in terms of temperature and steam volume via an independent control panel and boiler. In a preferred embodiment, there are two steaming chambers 10; the steam generating unit 14 includes an electrical distribution box 141, a first control panel (not shown), a second control panel (not shown), a first boiler 142, and a second boiler 143. The electrical distribution box 141 is electrically connected to the first boiler 142 and the second boiler 143, and is also electrically connected to the first and second control panels. The first control panel is electrically connected to the heater of the first boiler 142, and the second control panel is electrically connected to the heater of the second boiler 143. The first boiler 142 is connected to the first steaming chamber 10, and the second boiler 143 is connected to the second steaming chamber 10. With this design, the user can independently control the two steaming chambers 10 to meet the steaming needs of different ingredients, improve cooking efficiency, and ensure the taste and nutrition of the food. At the same time, when the amount of food to be steamed is small, only one steaming chamber 10 can be used, saving energy consumption. The dual steam chamber 10 is equipped with an independent boiler design, which reduces the size of the steam chamber 10, improves the overall thermal efficiency, and can also avoid the problem of uneven steam distribution in traditional steam cabinets to a certain extent.
[0045] Furthermore, rotating trays 1021 are equidistantly spaced vertically on the rotating shaft 102 for placing food. A first control panel is electrically connected to the drive device 1022 of the first steaming chamber 10, and a second control panel is electrically connected to the drive device 1022 of the second steaming chamber 10. Users can control the rotating trays 1021 to start or stop rotating and adjust the rotation speed via the control panels to ensure even heating of the food and avoid localized overheating or undercooking. Moreover, the rotation of the rotating trays 1021 increases the flow of steam within the steaming chamber 10, preventing steam from concentrating in one area and further improving the steaming effect. The steam permeability zones 10211 allow steam to evenly penetrate each rotating tray 1021, ensuring that each layer of food is fully heated.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one first steam port 11 connected to the first boiler 142 is provided on the bottom surface of one steam chamber 10; at least one second steam port 12 connected to the second boiler 143 is provided on the bottom surface of another steam chamber 10. The first steam port 11 and the second steam port 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding boilers to ensure that steam directly enters the corresponding steam chamber 10. Multiple first steam ports 11 and / or second steam ports 12 can be provided to increase the uniformity of steam distribution and further improve the steaming effect.
[0047] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the steam permeation zone 10211 includes two hanging plates 102111 and a steam permeation mesh 102112 disposed between the two hanging plates 102111; the rotating tray 1021 includes a hanging frame 10212 disposed on the rotating shaft 102 and a plurality of tray plates 10213, the steam permeation zones 10211 are equidistantly disposed on the hanging frame 10212, and the tray plates 10213 are hung on two adjacent hanging plates 102111 of two adjacent steam permeation zones 10211.
[0048] Specifically, the tray 10213 is detachable. In a preferred embodiment, the tray 10213 is provided with a hooking part 102131 that engages with the hanging plate 102111. The hooking part 102131 is a slot that engages with the hanging plate 102111, facilitating the removal and installation of the tray 10213 for easy cleaning and replacement by the user. The steam venting zones 10211 of adjacent rotating trays 1021 can be staggered to form a three-dimensional steam venting channel, enhancing steam circulation and ensuring that the food on each layer is heated evenly.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a water trough 13 is provided on the cabinet 1 at the bottom of the cabinet door 101, and a drain outlet 131 is provided on the water trough 13. When the steam chamber 10 is heated, steam condensation will be generated, which can be effectively collected and drained by the water trough 13 to prevent water accumulation from affecting the operation of the equipment. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the water trough 13 is provided with a slope that slopes downward toward the drain outlet 131 so that the condensation can flow smoothly to the drain outlet 131 and avoid water stagnation.
[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
