Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking pot technology, and more specifically, to an energy-saving cooking pot that utilizes steam recycling. Background Technology

[0002] A cooking pot is a sealed pressure vessel used for heating, cooking, sterilizing, or extracting materials. It is widely used in food processing (such as cooking meat, beans, and grains), pharmaceutical preparations (material sterilization, traditional Chinese medicine extraction), and chemical production (raw material pretreatment). Its core function is to cook, sterilize, or extract components from materials at high temperatures using steam, electric heating, or other methods. Depending on the application and heating method, it can be classified into various types.

[0003] However, traditional steam cookers do not have a structure for recycling steam. As a result, after the steam is directly discharged from the steam cooker, the water in the cooker will gradually decrease. Therefore, when steaming for a long time, water needs to be added frequently, which is quite inconvenient to use. Furthermore, after using the cooking pot, the lid and the steaming tray inside need to be removed. Since the temperature of these parts is high after use, removing them directly can easily cause burns. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an energy-saving cooking tank with steam recycling, which solves the technical problem mentioned in the background art that traditional cooking pots do not have a structure for recycling steam, resulting in less and less water in the tank after the steam is directly discharged from the cooking tank, and thus requiring frequent water replenishment during long-term cooking, which is quite troublesome.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving cooking tank for steam recycling, comprising a tank body, an electric heating module at the bottom of the tank body, an observation window on the outer wall of the tank body, a water level line on the outer wall of the observation window, a circulation pipe fixedly installed at the upper end of the observation window and on the outer wall of the tank body, an air inlet pipe fixedly installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the tank body, a condensation assembly connected to the other end of the air inlet pipe, a water outlet of the condensation assembly connected to one end of the circulation pipe, a control pump installed on the circulation pipe, and a support rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank body. The support rod is L-shaped, and an internal threaded ring is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod, the internal threaded ring being located at the top of the tank body.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a heat insulation column is provided inside the internal threaded ring, the heat insulation column is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the internal threaded ring, a cover is rotatably provided at the lower end of the heat insulation column, a handwheel is fixedly provided at the upper end, a positioning ring is fixedly provided at the lower end face of the cover, and a positioning groove is correspondingly provided on the upper end face of the tank body, the positioning ring is located inside the positioning groove, which facilitates the sealing installation of the cover.

[0007] The present invention is further provided with a rubber ring fixedly provided at the lower end of the cover and at the periphery of the positioning ring. The rubber ring can prevent air leakage and achieve the effect of energy saving.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a pad is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the tank, a steamer is movably provided on the upper end surface of the pad, an installation tube is fixedly provided on the upper end surface of the steamer and located in the middle position, and a handle is movably provided inside the installation tube to facilitate the removal of the steamer.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that the outer wall of the mounting tube is provided with sliding holes on both sides, the inner wall of the sliding holes is provided with locking holes at the bottom, and the bottom of the grip is provided with locking posts corresponding to the locking holes, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the grip.

[0010] The present invention is further provided with an exhaust pipe on the upper end face of the cover, and a safety valve on the exhaust pipe, which facilitates the increase of the safety of the device during use.

[0011] The present invention is further provided with a support ring fixedly provided on the lower end face of the tank body, so as to facilitate support of the bottom of the device.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that both the circulation pipe and the air inlet pipe are equipped with one-way valves to facilitate the guidance of steam and recovered water and prevent backflow.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an energy-saving cooking tank with steam recycling, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting up an air inlet pipe, a circulation pipe, and a condenser assembly, when the device is in use, steam will enter the condenser assembly through the air inlet pipe to cool it into water. Then, the control pump will be turned on to allow the steam to enter the tank through the circulation pipe, thus replenishing the water and making the device more energy-efficient. In addition, by setting up an observation window and a water level line, the amount of water added can be easily checked to prevent water from overflowing the circulation pipe, making it convenient to use.

[0014] 2. By incorporating an internal threaded ring, heat insulation column, cover, and handwheel, the user can rotate the heat insulation column by turning the handwheel, which in turn moves the cover upwards, opening it to facilitate the removal of the food inside and reduce the risk of burns. Furthermore, the inclusion of a positioning ring and rubber ring increases the sealing between the cover and the tank, reducing air leakage and thus energy consumption.

[0015] 3. By setting up a steamer, mounting tube, and handle, the handle can be separated from the steamer when using the device to avoid contact with hot air. When it is necessary to remove the steamer, the locking pin at the bottom of the handle can be installed into the locking hole through the sliding hole. Then the steamer can be lifted by the handle to make it easy to take out the steamed food and prevent burns. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In this embodiment, a heat insulation column 11 is provided inside the internal threaded ring 10. The heat insulation column 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the internal threaded ring 10. A cover 12 is rotatably provided at the lower end of the heat insulation column 11, and a handwheel 13 is fixedly provided at the upper end. A positioning ring 14 is fixedly provided at the lower end face of the cover 12. A positioning groove 15 is correspondingly provided on the upper end face of the tank body 1. The positioning ring 14 is located inside the positioning groove 15. A rubber ring 16 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the cover 12 and at the periphery of the positioning ring 14.

[0023] More specifically, when using the device, steam enters the condenser assembly 7 through the air inlet pipe 6 to cool it into water. Then, the control pump 8 is turned on to allow the steam to enter the tank 1 through the circulation pipe 5, thus replenishing the water and making the device more energy-efficient. Furthermore, the observation window 3 and water level line 4 allow for easy monitoring of the amount of water added, preventing water from overflowing the circulation pipe 5 and facilitating use.
