Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a rice cooker rice water separator. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life, people's demand for healthy eating is increasing, and low-sugar rice cookers have received widespread attention because they can reduce the starch content of rice. One of the core functions of this type of rice cooker is to separate the rice water from the cooked rice during the cooking process.
[0003] In existing technologies, this function is usually achieved by setting up a rice water separator. When the rice cooker is working, the rice water separator filters the rice water through a filter screen and collects it in a drainage chamber, and then discharges it out of the pot through a drainage pipe, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the rice water.
[0004] However, the inventors discovered in their research that existing rice water separators have structural design deficiencies. When the rice water discharge process stops, or when the pressure inside the pot fluctuates during cooking, the rice water that has already flowed into the diversion chamber or diversion pipe lacks an effective blocking mechanism and can easily flow back into the rice under the influence of gravity or pressure difference.
[0005] The backflow of rice water causes the separated rice water to come into contact with the rice again, which not only contaminates the rice but also seriously reduces the actual separation rate of rice water. This greatly reduces the sugar removal effect of the rice cooker and fails to meet users' demand for high-quality, low-sugar rice. Therefore, this utility model proposes a rice water separation head for rice cookers to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rice cooker rice water separator, which aims to improve the problem that some existing rice cooker rice water separators lack an effective blocking mechanism after the rice water stops flowing, easily causing the rice water to flow back into the rice.
[0007] This utility model provides a rice cooker rice water separator, including: a diversion chamber; and an anti-backflow mechanism fixedly connected to the inner wall of the diversion chamber.
[0008] The anti-backflow mechanism includes a positioning block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drainage chamber, a sliding rod fixedly connected to the positioning block, and a limit block fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod away from the positioning block.
[0009] Furthermore, the sliding rod slides through a U-shaped block, and the U-shaped block has a sliding groove for the sliding rod to pass through. The U-shaped block is fixedly connected to a water-stop ball by a connecting rod; a clip for the water-stop ball to sit and seal is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the drainage chamber.
[0010] Preferably, a filter basket is detachably connected to the lower end of the drainage chamber; the drainage chamber and the filter basket are locked together by a snap-fit mechanism. This detachable locking design makes it easy for users to disassemble and clean without dead angles, ensuring hygiene during use.
[0011] Preferably, as a specific implementation of the snap-fit mechanism, the snap-fit mechanism includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drainage chamber, and a bushing is also firmly fixedly connected to the fixing block to provide an installation reference for subsequent rotating parts.
[0012] Preferably, based on the above structure, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the bushing, and connecting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. The connecting rods act as lever arms to transmit the pressing and locking operating force.
[0013] Preferably, in conjunction with the connecting rod, a locking seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter basket. After being pressed, the connecting rod can move downward and engage with the locking seat, forming a preliminary fixation.
[0014] Preferably, the locking seat is threaded with a screw for tightening to abut the connecting rod; one end of the screw is fixedly connected to a chuck, which is easy for the user to pinch and rotate with their fingers to tighten the screw, thereby firmly pressing the connecting rod onto the locking seat and preventing accidental loosening.
[0015] Preferably, a fastening ring for positioning the straw is fixedly connected to the top of the drainage chamber, and the fastening ring provides a stable and reliable interface for subsequent connection of the rice water discharge straw.
[0016] Preferably, the lower half of the filter screen wall has filter holes evenly distributed around its circumference. The size and density of the filter holes are designed to effectively intercept solids such as rice grains when the rice soup flows through, thereby achieving separation of rice soup.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model solves the problem that existing rice water separation devices are prone to backflow after the rice water stops flowing, thus affecting the final sugar removal effect of the rice, by setting an anti-backflow mechanism inside the diversion chamber, which consists of a positioning block, a sliding rod, a limiting block, a U-shaped block, a connecting rod, a sliding groove, a water-stop ball, and a clamp. It achieves the technical effect of automatically opening and closing the channel by utilizing the buoyancy of the rice water itself, realizing unidirectional flow of rice water, and effectively preventing backflow of rice water, thus significantly improving the thoroughness of rice water separation.
[0018] 2. This utility model, by adopting a buckling mechanism consisting of a fixing block, bushing, rotating shaft, connecting rod, locking seat, screw and chuck, solves the problems of insufficient reliability of the connection between the existing separation head components, easy loosening during use or inconvenience of disassembly and cleaning. It achieves the technical effect of stable locking connection, high structural strength, and ability to withstand long-term use, and the disassembly and assembly process is intuitive and convenient, which greatly improves the durability of the product and the user experience.
[0019] 3. This utility model integrates the anti-backflow mechanism with a precision limiting function with the buckle mechanism that provides strong locking force, thus solving the comprehensive technical defects of the existing technology, such as imperfect anti-backflow function and poor structural connection stability. It achieves the technical effect of compact and reasonable overall structure, single function and reliable performance, and easy cleaning and maintenance, making the rice cooker rice water separator more practical and efficient.

[0022] 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. Example
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a rice water separator for a rice cooker, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where rice water easily flows back after separation, affecting the sugar removal effect, and the connection reliability of the separator components is insufficient.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The system includes a flow-inducing chamber 2, which serves as the main structural component. An anti-backflow mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow-inducing chamber 2 to ensure unidirectional flow of the rice water. The anti-backflow mechanism 5 includes a positioning block 51 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow-inducing chamber 2. A sliding rod 52 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 51. A limit block 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 52 away from the positioning block 51, limiting the travel of the loop block 54. The sliding rod 52 slidably passes through the loop block 54, and the loop block 54 has a sloping opening for... The sliding rod 52 passes through the sliding groove 56, and the U-shaped block 54 is fixedly connected to the water-stop ball 57 by the connecting rod 55; the bottom inner wall of the drainage chamber 2 is also fixedly connected to the clip 58, which is used for the water-stop ball 57 to sit and seal; when the rice soup flows upward, the buoyancy generated pushes the water-stop ball 57 to float up along the path of the sliding groove 56, thereby opening the channel for the flow of rice soup. When the rice soup stops flowing, the water-stop ball 57 falls back under the action of gravity and fits tightly against the clip 58, thereby closing the channel and effectively preventing the rice soup from flowing back.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 31 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drainage chamber 2. A bushing 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 31, and a rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected inside the bushing 32. Both ends of the rotating shaft 33 are fixedly connected to connecting rods 34. At the same time, a locking seat 35 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter basket 4. In the assembled state, the connecting rod 34 can be locked onto the locking seat 35 after being pressed, achieving initial positioning and locking. In order to further enhance the reliability of the connection, a screw 351 is threadedly connected to the locking seat 35. One end of the screw 351 is fixedly connected to a clasp 352. By rotating the clasp 352, the screw 351 is tightened to abut and press the connecting rod 34. This locking structure, which combines lever and screw, ensures that an extremely stable connection is formed between the drainage chamber 2 and the filter basket 4, which can resist vibration and impact during use. At the same time, it can be quickly separated by reversing the operation, which is convenient for users to perform thorough cleaning.
[0026] The top of the drainage chamber 2 is fixedly connected to a fastening ring 1. The inner diameter of the fastening ring 1 matches the outer diameter of the straw, thus stably fixing the position of the straw. The lower half of the filter basket 4 has filter holes evenly distributed around its circumference. The size of the filter holes is designed to ensure that rice soup can pass through smoothly while effectively intercepting solid objects such as rice grains. The limiting block 53 is used to limit the maximum upward displacement of the loop block 54 along the sliding rod 52, preventing the water-stop ball 57 from floating too high and leaving the effective working area. The top surface of the clip 58 is provided with an arc-shaped concave surface that matches the bottom of the water-stop ball 57. When the water-stop ball 57 falls, the spherical surface and the arc surface can form a tighter line contact or surface contact seal, thus ensuring the reliability of backflow prevention.
[0027] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When assembly is required, the filter basket 4 is connected to the drainage chamber 2, the connecting rod 34 is pressed down to make the connecting rod 34 snap into the locking seat 35, and then the clasp 352 is rotated. The clasp 352 drives the screw 351 to tighten on the locking seat 35 and finally press against the connecting rod 34, thereby realizing a stable and reliable connection between the drainage chamber 2 and the filter basket 4; when disassembly and cleaning are required, the reverse operation can be performed to quickly separate them.
[0028] When the rice cooker produces rice water, the rice water enters the inlet chamber 2 through the filter holes on the filter basket 4. The upward flow of the rice water generates buoyancy on the water-stop ball 57, pushing the water-stop ball 57 and the loop block 54 to move upward along the sliding rod 52 until the loop block 54 is blocked by the limit block 53. At this time, the rice water channel opens and the rice water can be discharged smoothly. When the rice water stops flowing or shows a backflow tendency, the water-stop ball 57 loses buoyancy and falls rapidly under the action of gravity, finally settling and sealing on the clip 58, thereby closing the rice water channel through the automatic opening and closing action of the anti-backflow mechanism 5.
