Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice steamer technology, specifically to an energy-saving rice steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Rice steamers are a common type of food cooking equipment widely used in various locations within the catering industry. A traditional rice steamer typically includes a steaming compartment, a door, heating elements, and trays for placing food. It is mainly used for steaming rice, noodles, meat, eggs, and pre-prepared foods, with varying heating times for different foods.

[0003] During use, users need to open the door to take out or put out food. Once the door is opened, a large amount of hot steam inside the rice steamer will quickly escape, resulting in serious heat loss. This not only wastes energy but also lowers the temperature inside the steamer, affecting the continuous heating effect of other foods. It can even cause some foods to be heated unevenly, undercooked, or not fully cooked. Especially when food needs to be taken out in batches, the door still needs to be fully opened, so the energy-saving effect is limited. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an energy-saving rice steamer, which solves the problem of the need to fully open the cabinet door when taking out food in batches, resulting in rapid leakage of hot steam and serious heat loss.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an energy-saving rice steamer, including a rice steamer compartment, a door, a water heating component, and a tray, as well as a support mechanism and a temporary closure. The rice steamer compartment has a main opening on its front side and secondary openings on its left and right sides. The door is hinged to the front side of the rice steamer compartment. The water heating component is located at the bottom inner side of the rice steamer compartment. The support mechanism is slidably installed inside the rice steamer compartment and passes through the secondary openings of the rice steamer compartment. The tray is placed on top of the support mechanism. The temporary closure is located on the surface of the rice steamer compartment. The movable end of the temporary closure is located inside the rice steamer compartment, above the water heating component, and rotatably connected to the rear side of the door. The telescopic end of the temporary closure is located at the rear side of the rice steamer compartment.

[0006] The rice steaming carriage includes a box body and wheels, with the wheels rotatably mounted on the bottom of the box body.

[0007] Lateral through slots are provided on the left and right sides of the box. Support bars are fixedly installed inside the box. There are two sets of lateral through slots, which are staggered on the left and right sides of the box. There are three sets of support bars, one set of support bars is located on the rear inner wall of the box, and the other two sets of support bars are staggered on the left and right sides of the box.

[0008] The support mechanism includes a side sealing plate, a placement rack, a magnetic block, a sliding sleeve, and a limiting slide seat. The placement rack is fixedly installed on one side of the side sealing plate and slidably installed inside the rice steaming compartment. A tray is placed on the top of the placement rack. The magnetic block is fixedly installed on the other side of the side sealing plate. The sliding sleeve is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the rice steaming compartment. The limiting slide seat is slidably installed inside the sliding sleeve, and the magnetic block and the limiting slide seat are correspondingly arranged.

[0009] The placement rack consists of two U-shaped plates. One U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on one side of the side sealing plate, and the other U-shaped plate is fixedly installed at its bottom. The surface of the horizontally arranged U-shaped plate is in contact with the back and left and right sides of the tray, and the surface of the vertically arranged U-shaped plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the tray.

[0010] The temporary enclosure includes a limiting plate, fixing strips, a partition plate, and a connecting rod. The limiting plate is fixedly installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the rice steaming compartment. There are two sets of fixing strips, and the two sets of fixing strips are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the partition plate, respectively. The fixing strip located on the rear side of the partition plate is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the rice steaming compartment, and the fixing strip located on the front side of the partition plate is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The free end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rear side of the door.

[0011] The partition plate is folded, and its longitudinal length can be changed by traction.

[0012] The temporary enclosure also includes a sleeve, a spring, and a traction rope. The sleeve is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rice steamer compartment. The bottom end of the spring is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the sleeve. A sliding plate is fixedly installed on the top end of the spring.

The other end of the traction rope passes through the fixing strip located on the rear side of the partition plate and connects with the fixing strip located on the front side of the partition plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a support mechanism that slides within the lateral passageways on both sides of the rice steamer compartment. When removing a small amount of food, this support mechanism can be individually removed without fully opening the door, thus preventing significant heat loss from the steamer compartment. This ensures that food still requiring heating remains unaffected, preventing undercooked or undercooked food and reducing energy waste. The connection between the connecting rod, fixing strip, and partition plate allows the partition plate to slide within the limiting plate when a large amount of food is removed, spreading it out and blocking the water heating component from escaping steam and heat, further reducing energy waste. When closing the door, the spring force pulls the traction rope, which, connected to the fixing strip, pulls the partition plate to fold and automatically opens the top opening of the water heating component, allowing the heating process to continue.

[0018] An energy-saving rice steamer includes a rice steamer compartment 1, a door 2, a water heating component 3, and a tray 5. It also includes a support mechanism 4 and a temporary closure 6. The rice steamer compartment 1 has a main opening on the front side and secondary openings on the left and right sides. Both the main opening and the secondary openings are equipped with sealing rings. The door 2 is hinged to the front side of the rice steamer compartment 1. The water heating component 3 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the rice steamer compartment 1. The support mechanism 4 is slidably installed inside the rice steamer compartment 1 and passes through the secondary openings of the rice steamer compartment 1. The tray 5 is placed on top of the support mechanism 4. The temporary closure 6 is located on the surface of the rice steamer compartment 1. The movable end of the temporary closure 6 is located inside the rice steamer compartment 1, above the water heating component 3, and is rotatably connected to the rear side of the door 2. The telescopic end of the temporary closure 6 is located at the rear side of the rice steamer compartment 1. Specifically, the main opening of the rice steaming compartment 1 is controlled by the door 2, the food in the rice steaming compartment 1 is heated by the water heating component 3, the secondary opening of the rice steaming compartment 1 is controlled by the support mechanism 4, the food to be heated is placed on the tray 5, and the top of the water heating component 3 is sealed and blocked by the temporary sealing component 6 to prevent the steam from escaping.

[0019] The rice steaming carriage 1 includes a box body 101 and casters 102, with the casters 102 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the box body 101; Specifically, the enclosure 101, in conjunction with the door 2 and the support mechanism 4, provides a closed heating space for the food, and the casters 102 make the device easy to move and relocate, allowing for changes in its working position.

[0020] Lateral through grooves 103 are provided on the left and right sides of the box 101. Support bars 104 are fixedly installed inside the box 101. There are two sets of lateral through grooves 103, and the two sets of lateral through grooves 103 are staggered on the left and right sides of the box 101. There are three sets of support bars 104. One set of support bars 104 is located on the rear inner wall of the box 101, and the other two sets of support bars 104 are staggered on the left and right sides of the box 101. Specifically, multiple staggered lateral channels 103 allow multiple sets of support mechanisms 4 to slide in and out on the left and right sides of the rice steaming compartment 1, reducing the size of the openings that cause heat loss when taking in or taking out small amounts of food. Multiple staggered support bars 104 provide auxiliary support for the multiple sets of support mechanisms 4, making their sliding inside the rice steaming compartment 1 more stable.

[0021] The support mechanism 4 includes a side sealing plate 401, a placement rack 402, a magnetic block 403, a sliding sleeve 404, and a limiting slide 405. The placement rack 402 is fixedly installed on one side of the side sealing plate 401 and is slidably installed inside the rice steaming compartment 1. A tray 5 is placed on the top of the placement rack 402. The magnetic block 403 is fixedly installed on the other side of the side sealing plate 401. The magnetic block 403 is a heat-resistant magnet (such as a samarium cobalt magnet, ferrite magnet, etc.). The sliding sleeve 404 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the rice steaming compartment 1. The limiting slide 405 is slidably installed inside the sliding sleeve 404, and the magnetic block 403 and the limiting slide 405 are arranged in a corresponding manner. Specifically, the food tray 5 is moved by the horizontal sliding of the placement rack 402 inside the rice steaming compartment 1. The side sealing plate 401 is abutted against the sealing ring at the side through groove 103 to seal the area and prevent hot air from escaping. The magnetic block 403 attracts the limiting slide 405, so that the limiting slide 405, which slides up and down inside the sliding sleeve 404, is in close contact with the other side of the side sealing plate 401, thus limiting and fixing the horizontal sliding of the side sealing plate 401 and the placement rack 402.

[0022] The placement rack 402 consists of two U-shaped plates. One U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on one side of the side sealing plate 401, and the other U-shaped plate is fixedly installed at its bottom. The surface of the horizontally arranged U-shaped plate is in contact with the back and left and right sides of the tray 5, and the surface of the vertically arranged U-shaped plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the tray 5. Specifically, two U-shaped plates provide stable support for the tray 5, allowing the tray 5 to slide out from the front of the placement rack 402, making it easy to pick up and put down the tray 5.

[0023] The temporary enclosure 6 includes a limiting plate 601, a fixing strip 602, a partition plate 603, and a connecting rod 604. The limiting plate 601 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the rice steaming compartment 1. There are two sets of fixing strips 602, and the two sets of fixing strips 602 are respectively fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the partition plate 603. The fixing strip 602 located on the rear side of the partition plate 603 is fixedly connected to the rear inner wall of the rice steaming compartment 1, and the fixing strip 602 located on the front side of the partition plate 603 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 604. The free end of the connecting rod 604 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the door 2. Specifically, the sliding of the partition plate 603 and the fixing strip 602 is guided by the limiting plate 601, and the opening and closing of the box door 2 is caused by the connecting rod 604 to pull the partition plate 603 and the fixing strip 602 to slide inside the limiting plate 601.

[0024] The partition 603 is folded, and its longitudinal length can be changed by traction; Specifically, when the main opening of the rice steaming compartment 1 is opened by rotating the door 2, the partition plate 603 is spread out through the transmission of the connecting rod 604 and the fixing strip 602. When the door 2 is rotated to close the main opening of the rice steaming compartment 1, the partition plate 603 is folded up through the transmission of the spring 606 and the traction rope 607.

[0025] The temporary enclosure 6 also includes a sleeve 605, a spring 606, and a traction rope 607. The sleeve 605 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rice steaming car 1. The bottom end of the spring 606 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the sleeve 605. A sliding plate is fixedly installed on the top end of the spring 606. One end of the traction rope 607 passes through the bottom of the sleeve 605 and through the inside of the spring 606 to connect with the sliding plate. The other end of the traction rope 607 passes through the fixing strip 602 located on the rear side of the partition plate 603 and is connected to the fixing strip 602 located on the front side of the partition plate 603. Specifically, the spring force of the spring 606 pushes the slider to slide upward along the inside of the sleeve 605, so that the traction rope 607 pulls the fixing strip 602 located in front of the partition plate 603 to slide inside the limiting plate 601, thereby controlling the partition plate 603 to close and fold.

[0026] In summary: When using this utility model, if the staff needs to steam or cook food, they place the food inside the tray 5, open the door 2, place the tray 5 on top of the placement rack 402, close the door 2, and start the water-filling heating component 3 to heat the food inside the steaming compartment 1. Since different foods have different heating times, when only part of the food needs to be removed, the limiting slide 405 can be pushed to separate from the magnetic block 403, allowing the limiting slide 405 to slide down along the inside of the sliding sleeve 404, releasing its restriction on the side sealing plate 401. Pulling the side sealing plate 401 causes the placement rack 402 to slide out from the side through groove 103, thus moving the tray on its surface. 5. Once the food is removed from the interior of the rice steamer compartment 1, the hot steam will only drift along the lateral passage 103, thus reducing heat loss. When a large amount of food needs to be taken out, turning the door 2 will pull the connecting rod 604. Through the transmission of the fixing bar 602 and the guidance of the limiting plate 601, the partition plate 603 will be pulled and spread out, sealing and blocking the top of the water heating component 3, thus reducing heat loss. When closing the door 2, the spring 606 can push the sliding plate to move upward along the inside of the sleeve 605. Through the transmission of the traction rope 607, the connecting rod 604 will be pulled and folded, allowing the hot steam above the water heating component 3 to flow freely.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
