In the present application, unless otherwise indicated, terms of orientation such as "upper, lower, top, bottom" are used generally with respect to the orientation shown in the drawings or with respect to the component itself in the vertical, upright or gravitational direction; also, for ease of understanding and description, "inner and outer" refers to inner and outer relative to the profile of each component itself, but the above-mentioned orientation terms are not intended to limit the present application.
The application provides a steamer structure, an electric cooker and a control method thereof, and aims to solve the problems of inconvenient operation and poor reliability of the steamer structure in the prior art.
As shown in fig. 1, the electric cooker includes a casing 80, a liner 40, an upper cover 70, a heating element, and a steamer structure. Wherein, the inner container 40 is arranged in the outer shell 80, the steamer structure is arranged in the inner container 40, the heating element heats the inner container 40, and the upper cover 70 is covered on the outer shell 80.
When the electric cooker with the above structure is used, rice needs to be placed in the steamer structure, water is added into the inner container 40, and when the electric cooker is started, the heating element is heated to perform operations of washing and boiling rice and steaming rice.
As shown in fig. 1 to 8, the steamer structure comprises a body 10 and a bottom cover 20, the body 10 is provided with a bearing cavity 11, and the side wall and the bottom wall of the body 10 are provided with meshes 12; the bottom cover 20 is located below the body 10, the lower end of the bottom cover 20 is provided with a lower end opening 23, the upper end of the bottom cover 20 is provided with a communication hole 22, the bottom cover 20 is further provided with a water inlet hole 21, the water inlet hole 21 is located between the lower end opening 23 and the communication hole 22, and the bottom cover 20 is communicated with the bearing cavity 11 through the communication hole 22.
After the steamer structure with the structure is placed in the inner container 40, a pressure cavity 50 is formed between the bottom cover 20 of the steamer structure and the bottom surface of the inner container 40, a backflow cavity 60 is formed between the main body 10 of the steamer structure and the side surface of the inner container 40, and the backflow cavity 60 is communicated with the pressure cavity 50 through the water inlet 21 of the bottom cover 20.
When the electric cooker works, the pressure in the pressure cavity 50 is increased by boiling hot water, at the moment, the water in the pressure cavity 50 is pressed into the bearing cavity 11 through the communication hole 22 and then flows back into the backflow cavity 60 through the mesh 12 on the body 10, and after negative pressure is generated in the pressure cavity 50, the water in the backflow cavity 60 is supplemented into the pressure cavity 50 through the water inlet hole 21, so that the rice washing and boiling operation of the water is realized. When the evaporation of water is reduced, or by controlling the pressure in the pressure chamber 50, the water can be separated from the rice, thereby realizing the rice steaming process.
Because the mesh 12 is arranged on the side wall and the bottom wall of the body 10, the reflux speed of the water can be accelerated, the frequency of washing rice and boiling rice can be increased, and sugar in the rice can be taken away by the water more easily, so that the rice with low GI can be obtained. The water falls into the liner directly after coming up, and a tight control system is not needed to prevent overflow.
In this embodiment, the opening edge of the liner 40 and the upper edge of the steamer do not need to be sealed. See in particular figures 6 to 8.
Alternatively, the mesh 12 may be circular, oval, square, kidney-shaped, polygonal, or irregular polygonal. It should be noted that, for an irregular polygonal mesh, the maximum size may be long, and the minimum size may be short. So as to ensure that water can bear the minimum resistance to rise to contact with the rice and the rice cannot leak out.
As shown in fig. 5, there are two water inlet holes 21, and the two water inlet holes 21 are disposed on the bottom cover 20 at intervals. Thus, there are two water inlet points for timely replenishing the pressure chamber 50.
In order to plan the flow of water, the steamer structure further comprises a connecting part 30 butted with the communication hole 22, and the bottom cover 20 is communicated with the bearing cavity 11 of the body 10 through the connecting part 30. In this way, water in the bottom cover 20 can flow into the carrying chamber 11 through the connection 30, and the rice is rinsed and boiled.
As shown in fig. 2 to 8, the connection part 30 includes a connection column 31 having a hollow cavity 311, the bottom end of the connection column 31 is connected with the bottom cover 20, and the hollow cavity 311 of the connection column 31 is butted with the communication hole 22, and the top end of the connection column 31 is communicated with the bearing cavity 11 of the body 10. By providing the connecting upright posts 31, water in the bottom cover 20 can flow into the bearing cavity 11 through the communication holes 22 and the hollow cavity 311, so that the water rises upwards from the middle part of the liner 40, and rice in the bearing cavity 11 is washed and boiled.
In this embodiment, the number of the connection columns 31 is one, and of course, a plurality of connection columns 31 may be provided.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2 to 8, the top ends of the connecting studs 31 project through the body 10 into the bearing cavity 11. Thus, the water entering the bearing cavity 11 through the connecting upright posts 31 can drop on the rice in a spraying manner so as to flush the rice uniformly, so that the rice in each part of the bearing cavity 11 can be fully contacted with the water, and sugar in the rice can be flushed uniformly, so that the rice with low GI can be obtained.
As shown in fig. 6 to 8, the connecting column 31 is provided with a first limiting water hole 312 at a portion between the body 10 and the bottom cover 20, and the first limiting water hole 312 communicates with the hollow cavity 311. Thus, when the water passes through the first limiting water hole 312, the water directly flows back into the backflow cavity 60 through the first limiting water hole 312, so that the probability and frequency of water and rice contact are reduced. Particularly, when the water in the liner 40 is reduced along with evaporation and the rice steaming process is needed, the first limiting water holes 312 are arranged to control the rising height of the water, so that the water is separated from the rice, and the rice steaming is kept smooth.
In the present application, the heating element is continuously heated, and at this time, the electric cooker operates as follows.
In the rice washing and boiling process, the heating element of the electric cooker heats, so that the pressure in the pressure cavity 50 increases to press water into the bearing cavity 11 of the body 10, the water flows back into the reflux cavity 60 through the mesh 12 of the body 10, and then flows into the pressure cavity 50 through the water inlet 21 of the bottom cover 20, and the process is repeated; until the evaporation of water in the liner 40 is reduced, even if the heating element is continuously heated, water cannot be pressed into the bearing cavity 11, and the water flows back into the reflux cavity 60 through the hollow cavity 311 and the first limiting water hole 312, so that the rice and water separation is thoroughly realized, namely, the rice steaming process is realized.
It should be noted that, when the low GI rice is cooked, water is added for the first time, and the water level should be higher than the height of the first limiting water hole 312. After the water is boiled, the water in the inner container 40 begins to boil, a relatively sealed pressure cavity 50 is formed between the bottom cover 20 and the bottom surface of the inner container 40, steam pressure is generated after the water boils, and the water is pressed into the bearing cavity 11 through the communication hole 22 to contact rice. Since the bottom wall and the side wall of the body 10 are provided with the mesh 12, water rapidly falls back into the inner container 40 after entering the bearing cavity 11. Because the large area of the body 10 is provided with the mesh 12, the backflow cavity 60 enclosed by the side wall of the body 10 and the side wall of the liner 40 can not generate pressure difference (because of conduction) with the bearing cavity 11, so that a large amount of water can not be pressed into the bearing cavity 11 by a large pressure as in the principle described in the prior patent, and the risk of overflowing slurry caused by too much water being pressed into the bearing cavity 11 is avoided. The continuous circulation of the water which falls back into the liner 40 after being pressed into the bearing cavity 11 does not need intermittent heating, and can continuously heat, so that the water is in an uninterrupted circulating state in the rice washing and boiling process, and rice washing and rice boiling are better. At the same time, there is a great advantage in that there is no possibility of slurry overflow due to the reciprocating cycle. Entering the rice steaming process, the water level is lower than the first limit water hole 312 due to the water absorption of the rice, so that the pressure cavity 50 is communicated with the reflux cavity 60, and the water cannot rise into the bearing cavity 11 during rice steaming.
The mode for cooking the low GI rice is simpler and more reliable in structure and use.
In order to improve the connection strength of the bottom cover 20 and the body 10, the connection part 30 further includes a support rib 32, and the support rib 32 is supported between the bottom cover 20 and the body 10 and connected with the connection post 31. By the support ribs 32, the connection area and strength of the bottom cover 20 and the body 10 are increased, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the steamer structure.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the plurality of support ribs 32 are provided, and the plurality of support ribs 32 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the connecting column 31. In this way, the body 10 is supported at multiple points, increasing its load-bearing capacity and also increasing the stability of the placement of the basket structure in the liner 40.
As shown in fig. 1 to 8, the upper edge of the body 10 has a flange 13. The flange 13 does not need to be lapped on the upper edge of the liner 40, and a certain gap is reserved between the flange 13 and the inner wall of the liner 40. Like this, the user can get easily through turn-ups 13 and put the food steamer structure, and turn-ups 13 can be regarded as the knot position, avoids getting when putting the food steamer structure, and easy hand is smooth, leads to the food steamer structure unexpected to fall.
As shown in fig. 6, the relation between the vertical height H1 of the communication hole 22 of the steamer structure to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.1 h.ltoreq.h1.ltoreq.0.8H. When H1 is larger, it is more difficult for water to enter the carrying chamber 11, so in order to ensure that the water is in sufficient contact with the rice, H1 and H need to be limited to a reasonable range.
Alternatively, the relation between the vertical height H1 of the communication hole 22 of the steamer structure to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.2 H.ltoreq.H2.ltoreq.0.5H.
Optionally, the relationship between the vertical height H2 from the first limiting water hole 312 of the steamer structure to the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.1 h.ltoreq.h2.ltoreq.0.6H. When H2 is smaller, the first limiting water hole 312 is closer to the bottom cover 20, at this time, water entering the hollow cavity 311 is particularly easy to flow out from the first limiting water hole 312, that is, it is more difficult for water to enter the bearing cavity 11, and particularly when water is too little or the pressure in the pressure cavity 50 is reduced, rice and water are very easy to separate, that is, the rice steaming process is performed. Of course, H2 and H1 are also related, and since the first limiting water hole 312 is provided on the connecting upright 31, H2 is greater than H1.
Optionally, the relationship between the vertical height H2 from the first limiting water hole 312 of the steamer structure to the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.15 h.ltoreq.h2.ltoreq.0.4H.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H3 from the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.25 H.ltoreq.H2.ltoreq.0.9H. When H3 is larger, more water needs to be put into the liner 40 in order to make the water contact with rice, so that the water can be ensured to be pressed into the bearing cavity 11, and the rice washing and boiling process is realized. Of course, the smaller the H3 is, the better, if the H3 is too small, the water is not easy to separate from the rice, and the rice steaming operation is difficult to realize. Of course, H3 and H2 are also related, and since the first limiting water hole 312 is at the lower end of the carrying chamber 11, H3 is greater than H2.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H3 from the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.35 H.ltoreq.H2.ltoreq.0.7H.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H4 from the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 to the upper edge of the body 10 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.2H.ltoreq.H24.ltoreq.0.9H. It follows that H4 actually defines the depth of the load-bearing chamber 11, i.e. determines the capacity to bear meters. When the load-bearing chamber 11 is deeper, it is theoretically possible to carry more meters, which of course also depends on the size of the cross-sectional area of the load-bearing chamber 11.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H4 from the lowest point of the bearing cavity 11 to the upper edge of the body 10 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.4 H.ltoreq.H24.ltoreq.0.7H.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H5 from the water inlet 21 to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.1 H.ltoreq.H25.ltoreq.0.5H. When the value of H5 is smaller, water flows more easily from the return chamber 60 into the pressure chamber 50, i.e. connectivity of the inlet holes 21 is more easily achieved.
Alternatively, the relationship between the vertical height H5 from the water inlet 21 to the lowest point of the bottom surface of the liner 40 and the depth H of the liner 40 is 0.15 H.ltoreq.H5.ltoreq.0.3H.
Alternatively, the hole cross-sectional area S1 of the communication hole 22 of the under cover 20 is 4 square millimeters or more and 2000 square millimeters or less. The hole cross-sectional area S1 of the communication hole 22 determines the flow rate of water pressed into the bearing chamber 11, and when the communication hole 22 is smaller, the water flowing into the bearing chamber 11 per unit time is smaller.
Alternatively, the hole cross-sectional area S1 of the communication hole 22 of the under cover 20 is 25 square millimeters or more and 900 square millimeters or less.
Alternatively, the hole cross-sectional area S2 of the water inlet hole 21 of the under cover 20 is 0.25 square millimeters or more and 1600 square millimeters or less. The hole cross-sectional area S2 of the water inlet hole 21 determines the water replenishing capacity of the pressure chamber 50, that is, the communication performance of the return chamber 60 with the pressure chamber 50. If the water inlet 21 is too small, when the water in the pressure chamber 50 is pressed into the bearing chamber 11, the water in the backflow chamber 60 cannot be timely fed into the pressure chamber 50, which results in that the bearing chamber 11 cannot be continuously filled with water, which affects the rice washing and cooking effect and is not beneficial to obtaining low-GI rice. However, the larger the water inlet 21 is, the better, and the larger the water inlet 21 is, the effect of sealing the pressure chamber 50 is affected, and the water is not easily pressed into the bearing chamber 11.
Alternatively, the hole cross-sectional area S2 of the water inlet hole 21 of the under cover 20 is 9 square millimeters or more and 225 square millimeters or less.
Optionally, the hole cross-sectional area S3 of the first limiting water hole 312 of the connection part 30 is 0.25 square millimeters or more and 1800 square millimeters or less. The hole cross-sectional area S3 of the first limiting water hole 312 determines the water backflow capability, and as the first limiting water hole 312 increases, water flows into the backflow cavity 60 more easily and is not easy to enter the bearing cavity 11; if the first limiting water hole 312 is too small, the backflow function is not performed.
Alternatively, the hole sectional area S3 of the first limiting water hole 312 of the connecting portion 30 is 9 square millimeters or more and 180 square millimeters or less.
Alternatively, the relation between the opening area S5 of the lower end opening 23 of the under cover 20 and the opening area S4 of the upper end opening 41 of the liner 40 is S4/4.ltoreq.S5.ltoreq.S4. Here, S5 should be smaller than S4, otherwise, the bottom cover 20 cannot be placed in the liner 40, and if the bottom cover 20 is too small, the bottom cover 20 may be unstable in support, so that a reasonable value is required. S4 is not shown in the figure, because the existing reference numerals cannot be used.
From the above description, it can be seen that the following technical effects are achieved according to the first embodiment of the present application:
1. the steamer structure does not need to be sealed, a sealing ring is omitted, the structure is simple, the cost is reduced, disassembly is not needed, and the operation is convenient;
2. the whole bottom wall and the side wall of the steamer structure are mesh, so that steam can better contact with rice and steam rice better;
3. in the steamer structure, as the bottom and the side wall are provided with the meshes, after water enters the steamer in the rice cooking and washing stage, the water can quickly fall back into the liner, more starch and sugar substances can be brought out, and the GI value is reduced more favorably;
4. when the rice is cooked, the backflow cavity formed by the side wall of the liner and the side wall of the food steamer is not pressurized, the pressure is concentrated into the bottom cover, water in the bottom cover is pressed into the bearing cavity after the water is boiled, water outside the bottom cover enters the bottom cover through the water inlet hole, and the water can quickly fall back into the liner after being pressed into the bearing cavity, so that quick circulation is formed, the problem of easy overflow is solved, and the control requirement is reduced;
5. the steamer structure in the application can be heated continuously in the rice boiling and washing processes, and water can be circulated continuously for washing rice, so that EMC requirements can not be improved due to low-power heating.
Example two
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that only the side wall of the body 10 is provided with the mesh 12, and the bottom wall is not provided with the mesh 12.
In this way, water can flow back into the return chamber 60 through the mesh 12 on the side wall.
Example III
The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that only the bottom wall of the body 10 is provided with the mesh 12, and the side wall is not provided with the mesh 12.
In this way, water can flow back into the return chamber 60 through the mesh 12 in the bottom wall.
Example IV
The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the connecting column 31 does not extend into the carrying chamber 11, and in this case, the connecting column 31 is connected to and communicates with only the bottom surface of the body 10.
In order to avoid that rice in the bearing cavity 11 falls into the hollow cavity 311 of the connecting upright post 31, the mesh 12 can be arranged at the bottom surface of the body 10 corresponding to the hollow cavity 311 to block, so that water passing can not be influenced, rice falling can be effectively avoided, and the reliability of rice holding in the steamer structure is ensured.
Example five
The fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the heating element is not continuously heated during the steaming process.
In the rice steaming process, the heating element is arranged in a discontinuous heating mode, so that the pressure in the pressure cavity 50 can be controlled, and the water passing capacity of the hollow cavity 311 is controlled. When the pressure in the pressure chamber 50 is small, water is difficult to enter the bearing chamber 11 through the hollow chamber 311, and water easily flows out from the first limiting water hole 312, so that the possibility of rice and water contact is further reduced, and the rice steaming process is easy to realize.
Example six
The sixth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that in an alternative embodiment, not shown, a second limiting hole is provided in the bottom cover, the second limiting water hole being vertically higher than the water inlet hole.
Therefore, after the water level in the liner is reduced, water in the bottom cover can flow back to the backflow cavity through the second limiting water hole and does not enter the bearing cavity any more, and the rice steaming process is realized.
