Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamer technology, and in particular to a steamer with steam regulation function. Background Technology
[0002] Steaming, as one of the oldest and most important cooking methods in Chinese culinary culture, is highly favored for its ability to retain the original flavor, nutrients, and moisture of food to the greatest extent. A traditional steamer usually consists of a pot body, a rack, and a lid; its working principle is that the water in the bottom of the pot is heated to boiling, generating a large amount of high-temperature steam, and the food placed on the steaming rack is cooked by the heat and convection of the steam.
[0003] Once a traditional steamer is heated, the amount of steam it produces depends entirely on the power of the bottom heating element and the amount of water. Users cannot precisely adjust the intensity and flow of the steam. When the heat is turned up to the maximum, the steam is intense; when the heat is turned down, the steam is weak or even interrupted. This "on or off" mode cannot meet diverse cooking needs.

The fixing bolts 13 are sleeved in the countersunk holes 12 and threadedly connected in the first threaded grooves 10.
[0018] Working principle: When adjusting the amount of steam in the steamer, the adjusting bolt 7 is rotated, which drives the push block 6 to move to the left. The push block 6 pushes the second drain plate 5 to slide on the bottom surface of the first drain plate 2. At the same time, the spring is compressed, so that the holes of the first drain plate 2 and the second drain plate 5 are staggered. By changing the overlapping area of the drain holes between the first drain plate 2 and the second drain plate 5, the size of the steam channel is physically adjusted, thereby controlling the steam flow. When cleaning the first drain plate 2 and the second drain plate 5 is required, rotate the adjusting bolt 7 to move the push block 6 to the far right, allowing the spring to return to its initial position. Then, use the handle 3 to remove the first drain plate 2 together with the second drain plate 5 from the pot body 1, separating the second drain plate 5 from the push block 6. Next, remove the fixing bolt 13 from the bottom of the mounting plate 11 and remove the mounting plate 11 from the mounting groove 9 on the bottom of the second drain plate 5. Then, slide the second drain plate 5 to the right, causing the dovetail block 16 to slide out of the dovetail groove 15 and the mounting groove 9, thereby separating the second drain plate 5 from the first drain plate 2 and separating the dovetail block 16 from the support rod 18. Finally, remove the spring from the dovetail groove 15. Then, the first drain plate 2 and the second drain plate 5 can be disassembled and cleaned. After cleaning, the spring is installed back into the dovetail groove 15 and fitted onto the outer edge of the support rod 18. Then, the dovetail block 16 of the second drain plate 5 is installed into the dovetail groove 15, so that the support rod 18 passes through the through hole 17 on the side of the dovetail block 16, so that the two ends of the spring contact the inner wall of the dovetail groove 15 and the left side of the dovetail block 16 respectively. Then, the mounting plate 11 is installed back into the mounting groove 9 and fixed with the fixing bolt 13. Then, the first drain plate 2 and the second drain plate 5 are installed back into the pot body 1. The fixing plate 8 in the pot body 1 supports the first drain plate 2, so that the right side of the second drain plate 5 contacts the push block 6.
