When water needs to be added, a horizontal outward pulling force is applied to the water tank 33 to enable the first magnetic piece to be far away from the second magnetic piece so as to release magnetic attraction between the two magnetic pieces, the water tank 33 is in an open state, namely, the opening of the water tank 33 is exposed outside the electric steamer, at the moment, water can be injected into the electric steamer through the opening of the water tank 33, after water addition is finished, the water tank 33 is applied with a horizontal inward pushing force to enable the first magnetic piece to be close to the second magnetic piece so as to enable the two magnetic pieces to attract each other, and the water tank 33 is in a closed state, namely, the water tank 33 is fixed inside the electric steamer due to the mutual attraction of the first magnetic piece and the second magnetic piece. Of course, it is preferable that a hand grip or a handle or the like be provided on the outer surface of the water tank 33 in this embodiment in order to facilitate the user to apply a horizontal outward pulling force to the water tank 33.

Referring to fig. 5 to 8, the upper cover 1 of the steamer comprises a cover body 11, a handle 12 and a steam exhaust device 13, wherein a mounting hole 111 is formed in the top wall of the cover body 11, and the steam exhaust device 13 is mounted in the cover body 11 through the mounting hole 111; the handle 12 is mounted in the middle of the top wall of the cover 11. Preferably, the steam exhaust device 13 in this embodiment is a fan.

In the use process of the electric steamer, the steam exhaust device 11 is switched back and forth in the closed and open state for a plurality of times, so that the use safety of the electric steamer is ensured, and meanwhile, the heat loss in the steamer is reduced, so that the maximum heating efficiency is realized. Specifically, when the amount of steam in the pot 2 is not enough, the steam exhaust device 13 is in a closed state, i.e. the fan stops rotating, and at the moment, only a small amount of steam overflows outwards; when the steam amount in the pot 2 gradually increases to a certain degree, the steam exhausting device 13 is turned on, namely the fan starts to rotate, at the moment, steam can be sucked out due to the rotation of the fan, the pressure relief effect is achieved, and then the fan stops rotating again after the steam amount in the pot 2 is reduced by a certain amount, so that a large amount of steam is prevented from being leaked to take away heat.

As is apparent from the above detailed description of the embodiments, the electric steamer provided by the present application comprises a water injection mechanism disposed inside the heating base 3 thereof, the water injection mechanism comprising a water tank 33 and a pipe 34, the pipe 34 being communicated with the water tank 33 and the base cavity 31 inside the heating base 3, the water tank 33 being openable regardless of whether the electric steamer is in an operating state, so that water can be injected into the base cavity 31 through the water tank 33 and the pipe 34; in addition, the user can observe the water injection condition in the water injection process at any time, so that the water overflow and even accidental triggering caused by excessive water addition can be avoided.

The foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the utility model to the particular embodiment disclosed, but is not intended to limit the utility model to the particular embodiment disclosed, as the equivalent of some alterations or modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present application.
