As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a thawing container, including:

the appliance comprises an appliance body 1 with an opening, wherein the cavity bottom of an inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1 sequentially comprises a central area 5 and a peripheral area 7 of a transition area 6 from the center to the edge; the peripheral area 7 comprises a water storage tank 3 surrounding the transition area 6, and the transition area 6 is provided with at least one layer of transition step 4 surrounding the central area 5; the depths of the central area 5, the transition step 4 and the water storage tank 3 are increased in sequence.

With continued reference to fig. 1, after the water storage tank 3 is opened at the bottom of the inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1, the melted thawing water can be stored in the water storage tank 3 during the process of thawing the food and is not in direct contact with the food, so that the thawing container has the function of draining water. When the thawing container is used, a consumer can put food into the inner cavity 2 of the thawing container, preferably the food can be placed in the central area 5, and also can be placed in the central area 5, and part of the food also occupies the transition area 6, so that the food can be thawed uniformly and stably, and after the thawing container is placed into a microwave oven, the microwave oven can heat the food to thaw the food.

During the thawing process, ice crystals and the like on the surface of the food are slowly thawed to become thawing water. The depths of the central area 5, the transition step 4 and the water storage tank 3 are sequentially increased, that is, the depths are gradually increased along the direction in which the three are arranged, so that water can flow from high to low under the action of gravity. At this time, the defrosted water can flow to the transition step 4 of the transition region 6 along the central region 5, and then flow from the transition step 4 to the water storage tank 3 of the peripheral region 7 for storage, the water storage tank 3 is located at the peripheral region 7, and the food is generally only placed at the central region 5 or the transition region 6, so that the water storage tank 3 is far away from the food, and the defrosted water in the water storage tank 3 can not be soaked (soaked) into the food. Along with the unfreezing of food, unfreezing water also can be continuous to flow to aqua storage tank 3 through transition step 4, prevents food and unfreezing water direct contact at whole thawing process, avoids food to be boiled because of the part and influences the even problem of unfreezing.

It should be noted that, the transition step 4 is provided in the transition region 6 between the central region 5 and the water storage tank 3, rather than directly providing the transition region 6 as a whole as a downward slope, so as to support the food. Because frozen food (usually frozen meat) usually has ice crystals spread on its surface, is slippery on its surface, and is not stable in the desired position, if it is placed directly on the surface of the ramp structure, it will easily slide down, fall to the peripheral region 7 and contact the reservoir 3 below the ramp, and then contact the thawing water that has melted during the thawing process. And the utility model discloses a structure (or can understand the terrace structure) of transition step 4 can form the effect that supports to food, hinders food gliding to aqua storage tank 3 to guarantee the stability that food was placed and the homogeneity that unfreezes.

In the structural arrangement of the water storage tank 3, the water storage tank 3 may occupy the entire area of the peripheral region 7, or may occupy only a part of the area of the peripheral region 7. The water storage tank 3 surrounds the transition area 6 and is of a circumferentially continuous annular structure, and in practical arrangement, the annular structure can be a regular circular ring or an irregular annular structure, or the annular structure and the irregular annular structure are mutually matched according to the structure of the inner cavity 2 of the thawing container, so long as the annular structure can surround the transition area 6. As shown in fig. 1, in this structure, when food is placed in the central region 5 for thawing, thawed thawing water can flow to the water storage tank 3 in any direction around, and the probability and effect of thawing water flowing to the water storage tank 3 are improved.

Similarly, in the structural arrangement of the transition step 4, the transition step 4 surrounds the central area 5, and is also a circumferentially continuous annular structure. In practical arrangements, the ring-shaped structures may be regular rings, irregular rings, or adapted to each other according to the structure of the inner cavity 2 of the thawing container or the structure of the water storage tank 3, as long as they surround the central region 5. As shown in fig. 1, the transition step 4 can be matched with the water storage tank 3, so that unfrozen water flows to the transition step 4 in any direction and then flows to the water storage tank 3 from the transition step 4, and the efficiency and the effect of unfreezing water flowing to the water storage tank 3 are improved.

In addition, the external structure of the thawing container and the structure of the inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1 can be set arbitrarily, for example, the cross section of the thawing container can be set to be circular, square, etc., and the cross section of the inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1 can also be set to be circular, square, etc., which is not limited herein.

Referring to the structure of the transition step 4 in fig. 4, the structure of the transition step 4 the step surface of the transition step 4 is downwardly inclined from the center to the edge. No matter the number of piles of transition step 4 is 1 or when the multilayer promptly, every layer of the ladder face of transition step 4 all has declined, the ladder face of transition step 4 has declined and to make the unfrozen water when passing through transition step 4, rely on more smooth and easy the flowing to aqua storage tank 3 of action of gravity, prevent that part or a small amount of unfrozen water can't flow down to aqua storage tank 3 because of the balance in transition step 4, thereby stop and take place direct contact and influence the effect of unfreezing with food on transition step 4. Therefore, the arrangement of the stepped surface structure of the transition step 4 can improve the effect of guiding the unfrozen water to the water storage tank 3, reduce the water quantity of the unfrozen water in direct contact with food, and further improve the unfreezing effect of the food. It should be noted that, the food can still be supported by the transition step 4 even if the step surface of the transition step 4 is arranged to be declined.

When the number of the transition steps 4 is set, the design can be performed according to the type of food to be thawed, for example, when the volume of the food to be thawed is large, the number of the transition steps 4 can be increased, and conversely, the number of the transition steps 4 can be decreased.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the number of the transition steps 4 is multiple, and the depth of the multiple layers of the transition steps 4 increases from the center to the edge layer by layer. With reference to fig. 1, for the number of the transition steps 4, when the number of the transition steps 4 is 1, it is only necessary to increase the depths of the central region 5, the transition steps 4 and the water storage tank 3 in sequence, so that the water can flow from high to low. Continuing to refer to fig. 2, when the number of the transition steps 4 is multiple, the depth of the multiple layers of the transition steps 4 increases from the center to the edge layer by layer, so that the unfrozen water can smoothly flow to the water storage tank 3 along the multiple layers of the transition steps 4. Preferably, the number of the transition steps 4 is 3 to 8, so that the thawing device can be applied to thawing of a larger variety of foods. In a typical design, the number of transition steps 4 may preferably be set to 4.

As shown in fig. 3, at least one blocking structure 8 is disposed on the transition step 4, and the blocking structure 8 extends from the central region 5 to the peripheral region 7. The partition structure 8 can make the transition step 4 in a broken ring shape, including a broken regular ring, or a broken irregular ring structure. By means of the cut-off structures 8, a more "rough" surface can be formed on the surface of the transition step 4, i.e. in a manner similar to the provision of irregular raised or recessed structures on a conventional surface, thereby increasing the roughness of the surface. Compared with the surface of the transition steps 4 which are regularly arranged, the partition structure 8 is arranged on the surface, namely, the surface can be made to be rough to a certain extent, so that the stable support of the food is improved through the partition structure 8.

Preferably, the blocking structure 8 includes a blocking protrusion 81 or a blocking recess 82. When only one partition structure 8 is provided, the partition structure 8 may be provided as a partition protrusion 81 or a partition recess 82; when the partition structures 8 are disposed at a plurality of positions, all of the partition structures 8 may be disposed as partition protrusions 81, or all of the partition structures may be disposed as partition recesses 82, or any matching manner of the partition protrusions 81 or the partition recesses 82 is adopted, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, in the case where the partitioning projections 81 also have a structural reinforcing function of the reinforcing ribs, the overall strength of the thawing container can be improved. Meanwhile, the partition recess 82 has the same function as the water storage tank 3 in storing the defrosted water, and can increase the storage capacity of the defrosted water. In addition, the partition protrusion 81 or the partition recess 82 may span the entire width of the transition region 6 in the center-to-edge direction or occupy only a part of the width of the transition region 6 in the structural arrangement, and those skilled in the art may set the width as needed, which is not limited herein.

As shown in fig. 5, the blocking structure 8 is a blocking protrusion 81, and the blocking protrusion 81 extends from the central region 5 to the water storage tank 3. At this time, the blocking protrusion 81 has a width that spans the entire transition region 6 from the center to the edge, and in this structure, the blocking protrusion 81 has a strong structural reinforcement effect, and can also better support the food due to its relatively large length, preventing the food from sliding down.

As shown in fig. 6, the blocking structure 8 is a blocking recess 82, and the blocking recess 82 extends from the central region 5 and communicates with the water storage tank 3. In this case, the blocking recess 82 has a width extending over the entire transition region 6 in the center-to-edge direction, and the blocking recess 82 can store a larger amount of defrosted water due to its longer length, thereby increasing the amount of defrosted water stored. The longer partition recess 82 can also have better blocking effect on the downward sliding of the food, and the stability of the food placement is ensured.

Furthermore, at least a part of the wall of the water storage tank 3 away from the central area 5 is formed by the side wall of the inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1. That is, the water storage tank 3 is close to the side wall of the inner cavity 2 of the appliance body 1, in the structure, the distance between the water storage tank 3 and the central area 5 is the farthest, the larger the area of food which can be contained is reserved, the stability of placing the food can be ensured, and the probability of contact with the unfrozen water is reduced.

Further, the width of the transition step 4 is between 6mm and 15 mm. According to the type of food to be defrosted, when the volume of the food to be defrosted is large, the length of the transition step 4 can be increased, and conversely, the length of the transition step 4 can be decreased, and the person skilled in the art can select a proper width between 6mm and 15mm according to the requirement.

Preferably, the material of the appliance body 1 is PP plastic, ceramic or glass. One skilled in the art can use different materials according to the requirement, and the material is not limited herein. Among them, PP plastic is more preferable due to its price advantage.

The utility model also provides a microwave oven, include the container that unfreezes. Since the specific structure, functional principle and technical effect of the thawing container are described in detail in the foregoing, detailed description is omitted here. Reference is made to the above description for any technical details relating to the thawing container. The thawing container is placed in a heating cavity of a microwave oven when in use, and the technical effects can be realized along with the thawing of food. In addition, the thawing container can be used as a common plate or a common bowl to contain food to be heated, and can be used in thawing scenes, so that consumers can select and use the thawing container according to requirements.
