Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a steamer structure that can prevent sticking. Background Technology
[0002] Steamers, as a traditional cooking utensil, are widely used in daily households and the catering industry for steaming pastries, dishes, and other foods. By using steam to heat food, they can preserve the original flavor and nutrients of the food to the greatest extent.
[0003] During steaming, especially for starchy foods like steamed buns, dumplings, and shumai, the high-temperature steam softens the bottom and surface of the food, making it sticky. Existing steamers typically have a flat bottom or a structure with a few holes, causing food to come into direct contact with the bottom under its own weight. This makes them prone to sticking after steaming, resulting in broken skins and an unsightly appearance when removed. To solve this problem, people usually need to line the bottom of the steamer with a steaming cloth or brush it with oil, adding extra steps and cleaning burden.
[0004] Furthermore, when different types or large quantities of food need to be steamed in the same steamer, the food expands when heated and will squeeze and come into contact with each other, causing them to stick together. This not only damages the integrity of the food's shape but also leads to cross-contamination of flavors between different foods. Existing steamer structures do not provide an effective internal space partitioning solution, which limits the efficiency and flexibility of single-batch steaming.
[0005] In summary, existing steamer structures generally lack an integrated design that can simultaneously solve the problems of food sticking to the bottom of the steamer and food sticking to each other, which affects the ease of use and the final steaming effect.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a steamer structure that can prevent sticking, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a steamer structure that can prevent sticking, aiming to improve the problems in the existing steamer structure where food is easily stuck together due to direct contact with the bottom of the steamer, making it inconvenient to handle, and when steaming multiple foods at the same time, the lack of effective separation leads to food squeezing and sticking together or cross-contamination of flavors.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a steamer structure that can prevent sticking, comprising: a hollow steamer body and a steamer bottom fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer body; and a protruding rod, a blocking strip and a separating mechanism;

[0010] Furthermore, the partition plate can be detachably installed inside the cage by means of the snap-fit groove between the partition plate and the blocking strip on the inner wall of the cage.
[0011] Preferably, the partition plate is further provided with a mounting groove for inserting another partition plate.
[0012] Preferably, the anti-sticking steamer structure further includes a viewing mechanism, which is located at the top opening of the steamer body and includes a viewing frame and a transparent viewing panel embedded and fixed within the viewing frame.
[0013] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixedly provided on the viewing frame, and a slot is provided on the cage body to be inserted and engaged with the connecting ring.
[0014] Preferably, the anti-sticking steamer structure further includes a support rod, which is vertically arranged inside the steamer body and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer.
[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the cage is provided with a connecting groove for stacking and connecting with another steamer structure.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model provides a steamer structure that prevents food from sticking together, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where food easily sticks to the bottom of the steamer during steaming, and different foods easily come into contact with each other and stick together or have their flavors mixed.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the anti-sticking steamer structure includes a hollow steamer body 1 and a steamer bottom 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer body 1. The steamer body 1 and the steamer bottom 4 together form the basic space for steaming food. The core of the steamer structure lies in its internal anti-sticking bottom structure and its separable internal space structure.
[0033] The bottom anti-sticking structure is achieved by setting multiple protruding rods 8 on the inner bottom surface of the cage bottom 4. The multiple protruding rods 8 are integrally formed and extend upward to physically isolate the food placed on them from the inner bottom surface of the cage bottom 4. The protruding rods 8 are arranged in a concentric circle or matrix array on the inner bottom surface of the cage bottom 4 to ensure uniform support for the food.
[0034] The divisible internal space structure is composed of multiple baffles 6 fixed to the inner wall of the cage 1 and a detachable partition mechanism 7. The multiple baffles 6 extend vertically and are equidistantly arranged circumferentially. The partition mechanism 7 includes at least one partition plate 701. The partition plate 701 has a locking groove 703 that is adapted to the shape of the baffles 6 and is used to engage with them. Through the engagement of the locking groove 703 with the baffles 6, the partition plate 701 is detachably installed inside the cage 1, thereby dividing the internal space of the cage 1 into multiple independent steaming areas.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The visual mechanism 3 includes a visual frame 303 and a transparent visual panel 304 embedded and fixed inside the visual frame 303. A connecting ring 301 is also fixed on the visual frame 303, which is used to realize the connection between the visual mechanism 3 and the cage 1.
[0036] Meanwhile, the upper end of the cage 1 is provided with a slot 305 that cooperates with the connecting ring 301. In the assembled state, the connecting ring 301 of the viewing frame 303 is inserted into the slot 305 of the cage 1. This plug-in connection structure ensures the stability of the viewing mechanism 3 during installation and the ease of disassembly.
[0037] In addition, to facilitate user handling and operation, a handle 2 is fixedly provided on the top outer wall of the cage body 1. In order to enable multiple steamers to be stacked and used to improve steaming efficiency, a connection groove 302 for stacking and connecting with another steamer structure is also provided on the outer wall of the cage body 1.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, in order to achieve a more flexible combination of space partitions, the partition plate 701 is also provided with a mounting groove 702 for inserting another partition plate 701. By setting the mounting groove 702, multiple partition plates 701 can be connected in a cross or at multiple angles, dividing the interior of the cage 1 into smaller independent areas.
[0039] As another preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the structural stability of the internal components of the cage 1, the steamer structure also includes a support rod 5. The support rod 5 is vertically arranged inside the cage 1, with its lower end fixedly connected to the center position of the cage bottom 4, and its upper end can be used to provide central support for the dividing mechanism 7 or the viewing mechanism 3.
[0040] As another preferred embodiment, in order to make the support of the food bottom and the steam circulation more uniform, multiple protruding rods 8 are arranged in a concentric circle or matrix on the inner bottom surface of the cage bottom 4. This uniform distribution ensures that food placed at any position on the cage bottom 4 can be effectively suspended.
[0041] As another preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the stable installation of the partition plate 701, multiple blocking strips 6 extend vertically on the inner wall of the cage 1 and are equidistantly arranged circumferentially, providing multiple stable and equally divided installation positions for the partition plate 701.
[0042] Working principle: When in use, the cage body 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component. When different types or quantities of food need to be steamed, the user can install the partition plate 701 of the partition mechanism 7 onto the blocking strip 6 on the inner wall of the cage body 1 through the locking groove 703 on it, dividing the interior of the cage body 1 into multiple independent areas, thereby preventing different foods from coming into contact with each other and sticking together during the steaming process. If a more complex space division is required, another partition plate 701 can be inserted through the mounting groove 702 on one partition plate 701.
[0043] During the steaming process, the food placed on the bottom of the steamer 4 is lifted by multiple protruding rods 8 extending upward from its inner bottom surface, which separates the food from the surface of the bottom of the steamer 4 by a certain distance. This structure reduces the sticking of the food due to direct contact with the bottom of the steamer 4, and also facilitates the circulation of steam at the bottom of the food, making the food heat more evenly. The internal support rods 5 provide stable support for the partition mechanism 7 and other components inside the steamer 1.
[0044] During the steaming process, the user can observe the steaming status of the food inside the steamer 1 at any time through the transparent viewing panel 304 of the viewing mechanism 3 without opening the steamer 1, thus avoiding the loss of steam and affecting the steaming effect. The viewing mechanism 3 is connected to the slot 305 on the steamer 1 through the connecting ring 301 on the viewing frame 303. In addition, the blocking strip 6 can also collect the condensate flowing down the inner wall of the steamer 1, preventing water from dripping onto the food. The handle 2 makes it convenient for the user to move and operate the entire steamer. The connecting groove 302 on the outer wall of the steamer 1 provides a connection basis for stacking multiple steamers.
