Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamers used to assist in steaming during cooking, and in particular to a split-type steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Most metal steamers currently on the market are one-piece structures, meaning they are formed by stretching and stamping a single sheet of metal. They use stretching hardware molds, which is costly, and the product surface requires polishing. At the same time, when stretching a one-piece structure, excessive stretching can easily lead to uneven metal thickness, resulting in patterns or scratches on the surface, which not only affects the product's lifespan but also its quality. Some existing split structures require assembly using bolts or other external structural interference. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular steamer that allows for easy assembly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

[0005] A split-type steamer includes a steamer bottom plate and a side wall structure detachably disposed on the steamer bottom plate. The side wall structure forms a baffle cavity that matches the steamer bottom plate, and the two ends of the side wall structure are nested and connected to form a closed baffle cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, at least one end of the sidewall structure forms a wrapping cavity, and the other end is embedded in the wrapping cavity and forms a reverse pulling force with the wrapping cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the packaging cavity has an opening, and the other end is inserted along the opening and bent to form a fitting part that fits against the side of the packaging cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the two ends of the sidewall structure respectively form a first covering cavity and a second covering cavity with openings in opposite directions, and the first covering cavity and the second covering cavity are nested within each other.

[0009] Furthermore, a transition section is formed between the first covering cavity and / or the second covering cavity and the sidewall structure, and the transition section forms a transition protection section at the bottom of the second covering cavity and / or the bottom of the first covering cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the sidewall structure is formed by stamping to create the enclosure cavity, and a margin length is reserved near the enclosure cavity to form the nest.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the steamer is nested and connected to the side wall structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the steamer extends to form a bent structure, and the bottom of the side wall structure is bent to form a covering cavity of the bent structure.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] See attached document Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment of a split-type steamer includes a steamer base plate 110 and a side wall structure 200 detachably mounted on the steamer base plate 110. The side wall structure 200 forms a enclosure cavity 210 that matches the steamer base plate 110. The two ends of the side wall structure 200 are nested together to form a closed enclosure cavity 210. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has two improvements. First, compared with the integrated pressing structure, this embodiment uses a split structure, which allows for separate pressing and stretching, effectively improving the stretching quality. Second, the side wall structure 200 is constructed using a nested configuration instead of an integrated closed structure. This method facilitates the opening or assembly of the side wall, and the ends are directly connected, eliminating the need for additional inserts or rivets and other unnecessary external structures.

[0019] The assembly of the side wall structure 200 is as follows: In this embodiment, instead of directly forming a ring or similar structure through integral extrusion, the sidewall structure is not connected, allowing it to form two ends at the opening. At least one end forms a covering cavity 220, and the other end is located within the covering cavity 220. These two ends exert opposing forces, creating a closed cavity during use. Food or similar substances acting on the nesting position further reinforces the fit due to the opposing forces. For example, the first end can form a covering cavity 220, such as a U-shaped cavity, and the second end can be inserted into the U-shaped cavity. Adding hooks or similar structures creates opposing forces with the U-shaped cavity. When food or similar substances press on this area, the two ends move in opposite directions, making the nesting assembly even more secure and robust.

[0020] To facilitate the nesting and insertion of the curved shape, a semi-closed cavity is selected. That is, one end of the wrapping cavity 220 has an opening, and the other end is bent along the opening to form a fitting part 221 that fits against the side of the wrapping cavity 220. Here, the fitting part 221 forms a barrier at the bottom of the wrapping cavity 220, away from the opening, thereby protecting the open wrapping cavity 220.

[0021] To ensure a secure nesting and extend service life, in this embodiment, a first covering cavity 221 and a second covering cavity 223 with opposite openings are formed at both ends of the sidewall structure 200, and the first covering cavity 222 and the second covering cavity 223 are nested within each other. In this embodiment, the nesting of the two covering cavities results in a more secure assembly compared to having only one covering cavity. In subsequent production, it is only necessary to press one covering cavity into the other to complete the pressing assembly. In this embodiment, along the height direction of the steamer, the nesting in the sidewall structure 200 extends from the top to the bottom, resulting in a certain height of nesting rather than partial nesting, thus forming a more robust enclosure cavity.

[0022] To further protect the nesting, a transition section 230 is formed between the first covering cavity 222 and / or the second covering cavity 223 and the side wall structure 200. The transition section 230 forms a transition protection section at the bottom of the second covering cavity 223 and / or the bottom of the first covering cavity 222. At this time, the transition section 230 is arc-shaped, forming a support for the bottom of the covering cavity.

[0023] In actual production, the side wall structure 200 is formed into the enclosure cavity 210 by stamping, and a margin is reserved near the enclosure cavity 210 to form the nesting. At this time, the side wall and the steamer bottom plate 100 are stamped separately, reducing the amount of material stretching. Now, only the individual stamping of the side wall structure 200 and the steamer bottom plate 100 needs to be considered, and the influence of stamping between the two does not need to be considered.

[0024] Unlike existing technologies such as snap-fit ​​connections, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 100 of the steamer and the side wall structure 200 are also nested. This nested connection allows the two structures to be directly embedded into and enclosed to complete the assembly without the need for screws, and the enclosing design ensures a secure assembly.

[0025] In this embodiment, when nesting the steamer bottom plate 100 and the side wall structure, the steamer bottom plate 100 is first extended to form a bent structure 110, and the bottom of the side wall structure 200 is bent to form the covering cavity 240 of the bent structure 110. This bent nesting makes assembly easier, and since the steamer bottom plate 100 and the side wall structure 200 have different heights, they can be directly nested, thus completing the transition at the height difference.

[0026] Furthermore, to avoid close contact when both are straight lines or curves, and to reduce assembly friction difficulties, one of the bending structure 110 and the covering cavity 240 is an arc-shaped bending structure, and the other is a straight bending structure. By using different bending methods, a certain transition gap is created, allowing for partial deformation or stress-induced deformation during compression to fill the transition gap.

[0027] In this embodiment, to avoid direct nesting and solve the problem of lack of support at the nesting point, the steamer bottom plate 100 extends upward and bends to form an assembly cavity 120. The steamer bottom plate 100 and the side wall structure 200 are nested within the assembly cavity 120. At this time, the assembly cavity 120 is located at the bottom of the side wall structure 200 and above the steamer bottom plate 100, forming a hidden structure. Thus, the nesting at this point is hidden, making the entire split steamer structure neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] The split-type steamer in this embodiment is made of 304 stainless steel and is formed by metal stamping. The vent 130 is recessed on the bottom plate 100 of the steamer: the through hole on the plane is for the circulation of water vapor, and also to allow condensate to flow back into the pot body through the through hole; the several recessed through holes have the same effect. At the same time, in this embodiment, easily rolling food can be placed on the recessed through holes to prevent it from rolling.

[0029] In this embodiment, a recessed cavity can be directly formed on the bottom plate 100 of the steamer, and then a plurality of exhaust holes 130 can be arranged in a matrix within the recessed cavity.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom plate 100 of the steamer can be divided into areas, and then recessed cavities and exhaust holes 130 located on the recessed cavities can be formed in several areas respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the steamer base plate 100 extends to form several support legs 140. The support legs 140 are used to suspend the entire steamer, and the airflow is discharged downward through the exhaust hole 130 for exhaust.

[0032] The production and assembly process of a split-type steamer in this embodiment is as follows: 1) The bottom plate of the steamer should first be made of 0.5mm thick 304 stainless steel; 2) Stamping: Stamp the vent 130 and the support leg 140. 3) Punching: Punch holes in the vent 130 and the support leg 140. 4) The bottom plate of the steamer is 100mm thick, and the edge of the pot is bent into shape.

[0033] The specific production process for the sidewall structure 200 is described below: 1) The side wall structure is first cut from 0.5mm thick 304 stainless steel; 2) The side wall structure is pre-bent both vertically; 3) The first enclosing cavity 223 and the second enclosing cavity 230 are connected; 4) The side wall structure is formed.

[0034] The assembly and production process for the combination of the steamer bottom plate 100 and the side wall structure 200 is as follows: 1) First, place the side wall structure 200 into the hardware mold; 2) Place the bottom plate 100 of the steamer into the metal mold; 3) After the metal mold is pressed down, it forms... Figure 6 As shown.

[0035] 4) Production ends here.

[0036] In this embodiment, the air vent 130 is designed with a flat surface and a stepped design below the bottom plate 100 of the steamer to accelerate the flow of air.

[0037] In production, by combining the steamer bottom plate 100 and the side wall structure 200 as described above, one set of forming molds can be reduced in the hardware mold structure of the side wall structure 200.

[0038] In the existing technology, the one-piece steamer uses a stretched metal mold, which is costly and requires a polishing process on the product surface.

[0039] The modular steamer in this embodiment is simpler to mold, and is made using natural-colored material with its own appearance. The manufacturing process is relatively simple, and there is no need to open a stretching mold or polish the product surface. The overall manufacturing cost and efficiency are relatively high.
