Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a double-pot rice cooker. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cookers are an essential tool for family cooking. With the development of their functions, modern rice cookers can now integrate multiple cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, stewing, simmering, and braising. Besides the basic rice cooking function, they can meet many other cooking needs, making them almost indispensable kitchen appliances in modern households. Rice cookers are popular for their simple operation, convenience, efficiency, and intelligent automation.

[0003] Because conventional rice cookers have limited functionality, only one mode can be selected at a time, meaning soup cannot be cooked while rice is being cooked, thus increasing cooking time. To effectively solve this problem, double-pot rice cookers were developed. However, existing double-pot rice cookers generally use a side-by-side arrangement, resulting in an excessively large size, poor sealing, easy mixing of flavors between the two pots, and a large footprint. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to invent a small-sized, space-saving double-pot rice cooker.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A double-pot rice cooker, comprising,

[0007] The pot body has an inner cavity with an upper opening;

[0008] The outer liner is disposed within the inner cavity;

[0009] The inner liner is disposed inside the outer liner and is on the same axis as the outer liner, and the bottom surface of the inner liner is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the outer liner;

[0010] The support frame includes a support ring sleeved on the outside of the inner liner, a limiting ring sleeved on the inner wall of the outer liner, a fixing ring extending outward from the edge of the limiting ring, and a plurality of connecting rods disposed between the support ring and the limiting ring. The two ends of the connecting rods are respectively fixed to the fixing ring and the support ring, and the lower end face of the fixing ring abuts against the edge of the outer liner.

[0011] The lid is installed on the outer pot.

[0012] A heating element is disposed inside the pot body and located below the inner cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, a first support plate extends outward from the edge of the inner liner.

[0014] Furthermore, the edge of the support plate extends upward to form a surrounding plate, and a sealing ring is provided on the lower end face of the pot lid. The sealing ring is adapted to be inserted into the inside of the surrounding plate when the pot lid is installed on the outer pot, so as to seal the gap between the pot lid and the inner pot.

[0015] Furthermore, a guide slope is provided at the bottom end of the sealing ring.

[0016] Furthermore, the pot lid is provided with a first pressure relief hole communicating with the outer pot and a second pressure relief hole communicating with the inner pot.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer liner is provided with a mounting base, which is arranged in a ring shape, and the bottom end of the inner liner is inserted into the mounting base.

[0018] Furthermore, the lower end face of the support ring is in the same plane as the lower end face of the limiting ring or is lower than the lower end face of the limiting ring.

[0021] Furthermore, a handle is installed at the upper end of the pot lid.

[0022] Beneficial effects:

[0023] Compared to the traditional double-pot rice cooker with two inner pots side by side, this invention adds an independent inner pot inside the original outer pot. This allows users to cook two different ingredients in the inner and outer pots without increasing the rice cooker's footprint. When cooking larger ingredients, such as whole chickens or fish, the inner pot can be removed and the outer pot used for cooking, thus achieving multiple uses in one pot. In addition, the included support frame supports the inner pot to prevent it from tilting during cooking, which could cause food inside the inner pot to leak out and contaminate the food inside the outer pot. It also supports the inner pot after it is removed to prevent it from tipping over. Attached Figure Description

[0044] like Figure 1-14 As shown, a double-pot rice cooker includes,

[0045] The pot body 10 has an inner cavity 101 with an upper opening;

[0046] Outer liner 20, wherein the outer liner 20 is disposed within the inner cavity 101;

[0047] The inner liner 30 is disposed inside the outer liner 20 and is coaxial with the outer liner 20.

[0048] The bottom surface of the inner liner 30 is fitted to the inner bottom surface of the outer liner 20;

[0049] The support frame 40 includes a support ring 401 sleeved on the outside of the inner liner 30, a limiting ring 402 sleeved on the inner wall of the outer liner 20, a fixing ring 403 extending outward from the edge of the limiting ring 402, and a plurality of connecting rods 404 disposed between the support ring 401 and the limiting ring 402. The two ends of the connecting rods 404 are respectively fixed to the fixing ring 403 and the support ring 401, and the lower end face of the fixing ring 403 abuts against the edge of the outer liner 20.

[0050] The pot lid 50 is installed on the outer pot 20;

[0051] The heating component 60 is disposed inside the pot body 10 and located below the inner cavity 101.

[0052] Compared to the traditional double-pot rice cooker with two inner pots 30 arranged side by side, this utility model adds an independent inner pot 30 inside the original outer pot 20. This allows users to cook two different kinds of food in the inner pot 30 and outer pot 20 respectively without increasing the rice cooker's footprint. When cooking larger foods, such as whole chickens or whole fish, the inner pot 30 can be removed and the outer pot 20 can be used for cooking, thus achieving multiple uses in one pot. In addition, the support frame 40 can support the inner pot 30 to prevent it from tilting during cooking, thus preventing food from leaking out and contaminating the food in the outer pot 20. It can also support the inner pot 30 after it is removed to prevent it from tipping over.

[0053] Specifically, in use, the user first places the ingredients into the outer pot 20, then places the support frame 40 on the upper end of the outer pot 20, ensuring that the outer side of the limiting ring 402 abuts against the inner wall of the outer pot 20, and the support ring 401 abuts against the upper edge of the outer pot 20 to fix the support frame 40. Then, the lower end of the inner pot 30 is inserted into the support ring 401 and moves downward along the inner wall of the support ring 401 until the bottom surface of the inner pot 30 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the outer pot 20. During this process, the ingredients in the outer pot 20 can be moved outward to prevent them from getting stuck between the bottom surface of the inner pot 30 and the inner bottom surface of the outer pot 20, thus affecting the heat conduction effect. Of course, the ingredients can also be placed in the outer pot after the support frame 40 and the inner pot 30 are placed inside, thus preventing the ingredients from being trapped between the inner pot 30 and the outer pot. Then, the lid 50 is closed, and the heating component 60 is activated to heat the outer pot 20. The heat will be conducted to the inner pot 30 through the contact surface between the inner pot 30 and the outer pot 20. The inner pot 30 is heated simultaneously with the outer pot 20. Since the cooking time of the ingredients is different and the temperature rises more slowly in the inner pot 30 than in the outer pot 20, the easier-to-cook ingredients are usually placed in the inner pot 30 to make the cooking time of the ingredients in the inner and outer pots 20 more consistent. Of course, placing the easier-to-cook ingredients in the inner pot 30 also makes it easier to remove the cooked ingredients when they are cooked in the inner pot 30 but not in the outer pot 20, avoiding continuous heating that would affect the taste. When removing the inner pot 30, the user takes it out together with the support frame 40 and places it on the table. At this time, the support frame 40 loses the support of the outer pot 20 and slides down the outer surface of the inner pot 30 under gravity until it comes into contact with the lower end face of the support ring 401 and the limiting ring 402 and the table. At this time, the support ring 401, the connecting rod 404 and the limiting ring 402 cooperate to form a support seat to support the inner pot 30 and prevent it from tilting.

[0054] In this embodiment, the heating component 60 can be the electric heating plate found in existing rice cookers, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Furthermore, to prevent the bottom surface of the inner pot 30 from shifting relative to the inner bottom surface of the outer pot 20 during cooking, in this embodiment, a mounting base 201 is provided at the bottom of the outer pot 20. The mounting base 201 is arranged in a ring shape, and the bottom end of the inner pot 30 is inserted into the mounting base 201, thereby restricting the lower end of the inner pot 30 and preventing it from moving during cooking, while also facilitating the installation and positioning of the inner pot 30.

[0056] In addition, to facilitate the removal of the inner liner 30, the support frame 40 provides support for the inner liner 30. Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower end face of the support ring 401 is in the same plane as the lower end face of the limiting ring 402 or is lower than the lower end face of the limiting ring 402.

[0057] To facilitate the user in removing the inner liner 30 and the support frame 40 together, in this embodiment, a first support plate 301 extends outward from the edge of the inner liner 30. When removing the inner liner 30, the user can lift the support frame 40 upward, and the upper end face of the support ring 401 abuts against the lower end face of the first support plate 301 to lift the inner liner 30. The inner liner 30 can move together with the support frame 40 to facilitate the handling of the inner liner 30.

[0058] Furthermore, to prevent flavor transfer between the inner and outer pots 20 during cooking, in this embodiment, the edge of the support plate 301 extends upward to form a surrounding plate 302, and a sealing ring 501 is provided on the lower end face of the pot lid 50. The sealing ring 501 is adapted to be inserted into the inner side of the surrounding plate 302 when the pot lid 50 is installed on the outer pot 20, so as to seal the gap between the pot lid 50 and the inner pot 30. In this way, the inner pot 30 and the outer pot 20 can be separated to prevent flavor transfer. Of course, in order to ensure that the sealing ring 501 can seal the inner pot 30 well, in actual use, the lower end of the sealing ring 501 should also be pressed against the upper end face of the first support plate 301 to ensure sealing. On the other hand, it can also press the bottom surface of the inner pot 30 against the inner bottom surface of the outer pot 20 to improve the heat transfer effect.

[0059] Furthermore, to facilitate the sealing ring 501 to be properly inserted into the inner side of the surrounding plate 302 when the lid 50 is closed, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the sealing ring 501 is provided with a guide slope, which can provide guidance for the sealing ring 501 when it is inserted into the inner side of the surrounding plate 302.

[0060] In addition, to prevent food from being sprayed out from the gap between the lid 50 and the outer pot 20 due to excessive pressure during the heating process, the lid 50 is provided with a first pressure relief hole 502 communicating with the outer pot 20 and a second pressure relief hole 503 communicating with the inner pot 30.

[0061] Meanwhile, to prevent food from splashing onto the table during cooking and to facilitate the lid 50 closing onto the outer pot, this embodiment also includes a baffle 202. The baffle 202 extends upward from the edge of the outer pot 20 and tilts outward. On the one hand, it can block soup or food from spraying out from the gap between the lid 50 and the outer pot. On the other hand, it can provide guidance when the lid 50 is closed onto the outer pot, thus facilitating the lid 50 to close onto the outer pot.

[0062] In addition, a tray 203 is provided on the outside of the baffle 202, which allows the user to easily remove the outer pot from the pot body 10.

[0063] A handle 504 is installed at the upper end of the pot lid 50 to facilitate the user to grasp and lift the pot lid 50.

[0064] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
