[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A vertical rice steamer with steam circulation function includes a body 1. One side of the body 1 is connected to a door by a hinge, and the other side of the body 1 is provided with an inspection cover. The bottom inner wall of the body 1 is provided with a water heating box 2. The bottom inner wall of the water heating box 2 is fixed with a heating pipe 3 by bolts. The water in the water heating box 2 is heated by the heating pipe 3. Multiple steam circulation pipes 4 are fixed with bolts on both sides of the inner wall of the body 1. Multiple vent pipes 5 are welded to the top of the body 1. A small amount of steam can be discharged from the vent pipes 5.

[0025] Both sides of the top of the housing 1 are bolted to a connecting box 6. A motor 11 is bolted to the top outer wall of the connecting box 6. Two rotating shafts 7 are rotatably mounted on the bottom inner wall of the connecting box 6 via embedded bearings. Multiple rotating rods 8 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the connecting box 6 via embedded bearings. The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top end of one of the rotating rods 8. Gears 9 are keyed to the outer walls of the rotating rods 8 and the outer walls of the rotating shafts 7, with adjacent gears 9 meshing. Multiple fan blades 10 are bolted to the bottom end of the rotating rod 8. The fan blades 10 are located at the steam... Inside the circulation pipe 4, water vapor rises from bottom to top. Then, driven by the motor 11 and the meshing of the adjacent gear 9, it drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blade 10 to rotate. A negative pressure is generated inside the steam circulation pipe 4, and water vapor enters from the top of the steam circulation pipe 4. Then, under the blowing of the fan blade 10, the water vapor flows downward along the steam circulation pipe 4. Then, the water vapor is discharged from the bottom of the steam circulation pipe 4 and re-enters the box 1. Next, the water vapor rises from bottom to top along the placement rack 15, thereby realizing steam circulation and making the heating uniform.

[0026] The bottom outer wall of the connecting box 6 is fixed with a support frame 12 by bolts, and the bottom end of the rotating rod 8 passes through the support frame 12, thereby providing support for the rotation of the rotating rod 8.

[0027] A support plate 13 is integrally formed between the inner walls of the box 1 on multiple sides. The support plate 13 is provided with multiple through holes 14 so that water vapor can pass through the through holes 14 for heating. The condensate generated during the circulation process will flow down the pipe wall and flow back into the water heating box 2 through the through holes 14.

[0028] A rack 15 is placed on top of the support plate 13. Multiple support rods 17 are welded to the inner walls of both sides of the rack 15. A steaming tray 16 is placed between two opposing support rods 17.

[0029] The top of the vent pipe 5 is threaded with a dustproof mesh cover 18 to prevent dust from falling into the vent pipe 5.

[0030] The top outer wall of the housing 1 is fixed with two top brackets 19 by bolts. A top cover 20 is provided between the two top brackets 19. Two first magnetic blocks 21 are glued to the bottom of the top cover 20, and a second magnetic block 22 is glued to the top of the top brackets 19. The second magnetic block 22 attracts the first magnetic block 21, which facilitates the fixed installation of the top cover 20 and protects the dustproof mesh cover 18. The second magnetic block 22 and the first magnetic block 21 can be made of high temperature resistant UH grade neodymium iron boron magnets or samarium cobalt magnets.

[0031] A baffle 23 is welded to one side of the bottom end of the steam circulation pipe 4 to prevent water vapor from directly entering the steam circulation pipe 4.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, first, open the inspection cover, pour water into the water heating box 2, and then close the inspection cover. Then, place the steaming tray 16 between the two opposing support rods 17, and then close the door. Next, heat the water in the water heating box 2 through the heating tube 3. Then, the steam rises through the through hole 14 and then rises from bottom to top along the placement rack 15, thereby heating. Then, the steam enters from the top of the steam circulation pipe 4, and under the drive of the motor 11 and the meshing of the adjacent gear 9, it drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blade 10 to rotate. Then, under the blowing of the fan blade 10, the steam flows downward along the steam circulation pipe 4. Then, the steam is discharged from the bottom of the steam circulation pipe 4. Then, the steam rises from bottom to top along the placement rack 15, thereby realizing steam circulation and making the heating uniform.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
