Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice steamer manufacturing and processing technology, and in particular to a rice steamer that prevents condensation from dripping. Background Technology

[0002] A rice steamer is a commercial kitchen appliance that uses high-temperature steam to efficiently and evenly steam rice in large batches. Its core principle is to generate steam by heating a water tank with an electric heating element (or connecting to an external steam source). This steam circulates within the sealed chamber, directly heating the rice and water in the steaming tray, causing the rice grains to quickly gelatinize and cook. The main components include a stainless steel body, heating system, water tank / steam generator, multi-layer steaming racks, rice steaming containers, control system, sealing door, and drain valve. The core advantage of a rice steamer is its ability to quickly, stably, and in large batches produce soft, uniform, and distinct grains of rice, significantly improving efficiency, saving space and energy. It is easy to operate and clean and maintain, and is widely used in school / corporate canteens, hotel restaurants, fast food chains, central kitchens, and other places that require a centralized supply of large quantities of rice. It is an essential tool for large-scale catering services. Selection should be based on a comprehensive consideration of capacity requirements, speed requirements (high pressure or normal pressure), mobility, budget, and brand after-sales service. When using it, be sure to add enough water, spread the rice evenly, set the parameters correctly, and perform regular descaling and maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation.

[0003] Existing rice steamers involve filling the bottom of the sealed container with water, heating the water to generate high-temperature steam. This steam rises and heats the rice tray containing water and rice. Once the food in the tray is cooked, the steamer is opened and the tray is removed. However, the high-temperature steam inside the steamer condenses into water droplets upon encountering the cooler top of the container. These droplets accumulate and drip, affecting not only the appearance and texture of the rice but also potentially contaminating the food. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rice steamer that prevents condensation dripping, aiming to improve the problem of condensation dripping from the top of the steamer during rice steaming, which affects the appearance and taste of food and easily contaminates the food.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rice steamer that prevents condensate dripping, comprising a body, a hinge on one side of the outer wall of the body, a sealed door fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hinge, a condensate diversion assembly on the upper side of the inner wall of the body, a sliding assembly on the middle side of the inner wall of the body, and an evaporation assembly on the lower side of the inner wall of the body; The condensate diversion assembly includes a first diversion channel, one side of which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the box. A hanging mesh plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the first diversion channel, and an evaporation mesh is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hanging mesh plate. A water collection box is fixedly connected to the other end of the first diversion channel, and one side of the water collection box is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the box.

[0006] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a slide rail, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the middle side of the inner wall of the housing, a support plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the middle side of the inner wall of the housing, a motor fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate, a reducer fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the lower surface of the reducer fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer, and one end of the connecting rod rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the evaporation assembly includes a heating element, which is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the chamber, and a water inlet is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, a door latch is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sealed door, and rollers are provided on the lower surface of the box.

[0009] Furthermore, a second flow guide channel is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the box. One end of the second flow guide channel is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hanging mesh plate, and the other end of the second flow guide channel is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water collection box.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixed stop is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide rail, and a movable stop is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate, and a rice steaming tray is provided on the inner wall of the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a drain valve is provided on the lower side of the outer wall of the box, and a float valve is provided inside the water inlet.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, during the rice steaming process, the high-temperature water vapor encounters the cooler top of the container and forms condensate, which temporarily stays on the evaporation net. Since the four corners of the evaporation net are low, the condensate flows from the evaporation net to the four corners of the hanging plate, and then from the four corners to the guide groove. Then, the condensate flows into the water collection box through the guide groove. The condensate guide component reduces the impact of the condensate on the food, ensuring that the steamed food is dry and plump, has a better taste, and prevents contamination.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, after the rice is steamed, the motor drives the reducer to drive the connecting rod, and the connecting rod drives the support plate to slide out of the box on the slide rail. The fixed block on the slide rail and the movable block on the support plate prevent the support plate from sliding out of the box completely. The sliding component moves the rice steamer box out as a whole, reducing the risk of people directly contacting the high-temperature inner pot. Attached Figure Description

One side of the water collection box 16 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-5 The sliding assembly includes a slide rail 17, which guides the sliding of the support plate 8, ensuring that the support plate 8 can smoothly enter and exit the box 1. The outer wall of the slide rail 17 is fixedly connected to the middle side of the inner wall of the box 1. The support plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 17. A fixed plate 18 is fixedly connected to the middle side of the inner wall of the box 1. A motor 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 18. A reducer 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19. The lower surface of the reducer 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 18. A connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer 20. One end of the connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 8. The evaporation assembly includes a heating element 24, which converts electrical energy into heat energy after being powered on, heating the water at the bottom of the box 1, causing the water to boil and generate high-temperature steam, providing heat for steaming rice. The heating element 24 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the box 1. A water inlet 12 is opened on the lower side of the inner wall of the box 1. A door latch 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sealing door 3. Rollers 7 are provided on the lower surface of the box body 1. A second guide channel 15 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the box body 1. One end of the second guide channel 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hanging mesh plate 2, and the other end of the second guide channel 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water collection box 16. A fixed stop block 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide rail 17. A movable stop block 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 8. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 8. A rice steaming tray 9 is provided on the inner wall of the support frame 4. A drain valve 13 is provided on the lower side of the outer wall of the box body 1. When the rice steamer is not in use, the drain valve 13 can be opened to drain the remaining water inside the box body 1 to avoid water accumulation that may cause damage to parts or bacterial growth. A float valve 6 is provided inside the water inlet 12 to monitor the water level at the bottom of the box body 1 in real time. When the water volume is sufficient, the water inlet channel is closed to prevent water from entering. When the water volume is insufficient, the water inlet channel is opened to allow water to continue to flow in from the water inlet 12, thereby realizing automatic water replenishment and water control.

[0020] Working principle: The rice steamer steams rice. Water inlet 12 connects to the water source, and water flows into the bottom of the cabinet 1. When there is enough water, the water flow stops at inlet 12 under the action of float valve 6. When the water is insufficient, float valve 6 allows water to continue flowing in from inlet 12. Rollers 7 at the bottom of the cabinet 1 provide support and facilitate movement. The sealing door 3, connected to the cabinet 1 via hinge 11, is closed, and then locked by door latch 5. Under the action of heating element 24, the water is continuously heated and evaporated. The high-temperature steam rises and heats the rice steaming tray 9 on the support plate 8 and support frame 4, completing the steaming process. During steaming, the high-temperature steam temporarily cools down when it encounters condensate formed on the cooler top of the cabinet. The evaporation net 14 rests on the hanging mesh plate 2. Because the four corners of the evaporation net 14 are low, the condensate flows from the evaporation net 14 to the four corners of the hanging mesh plate 2. Then the condensate flows from the four corners to the first guide channel 10 and the second guide channel 15, and then flows into the water collection box 16. After the rice is steamed, the motor 19 on the fixed plate 18 drives the reducer 20. The reducer 20 drives the connecting rod 21. The connecting rod 21 drives the support plate 8 to slide out of the box 1 on the slide rail 17. The fixed stop 23 on the slide rail 17 and the movable stop 22 on the support plate 8 prevent the support plate 8 from sliding out of the box 1 completely. When the rice steamer is not needed, the remaining water inside the box 1 is drained through the drain valve 13.
