  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the inner pot of Figure 1, in which the steamer is arranged at a low position;
  • Figure 5 is cross-sectional view of an inner pot of a cooking appliance according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the first embodiment of the present invention is described below by reference of Figs. 1-4. It may be understood that the present invention may be a rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker or any other cooking appliance.
  • the cooking appliance comprises a pot body and a cover.
  • the pot body (not shown) comprises a cylindrical cavity for accommodating the inner pot.
  • the inner pot 11 may be freely put into or taken out of the cavity for accommodating the inner pot, which is convenient for cleaning of the inner pot 11.
  • the inner port 11 is usually made of metal, and there is a round opening in its upper surface, used to receive the material to be heated, such as rice or soup.
  • the pot body comprises a heating device used to heat the inner pot 11.
  • the cover (not shown) has a shape basically corresponding to that of the pot body. It may be arranged on the top of the pot body, used to cover the pot body after being closed.
  • the cover may be respectively set at the closing position and the opening position relative to the pot body. Preferably, it may be switched between the close position and the open position by pivoting.
  • the inner pot 11 also comprises a removable steamer 12. After the inner pot 11 is filled with water and heated, the steam generated will move upward to steam the food in the steamer 12 well.
  • a lifting member 13 which is vertically placed inside the inner pot 11. The lifting member 13 and the steamer 12 fit with each other, so that the steamer 12 may be located at different heights relative to the lifting member 13.
  • the lifting member 13 comprises a rod-like lifting shaft 131, a handle 133 on the top of the lifting shaft 131, a base 134 at the bottom of the lifting shaft 131 and positioning pins 132.
  • the positioning pins 132 are disposed around the lifting shift 131 and configured in pairs at different heights along the lifting shaft 131.
  • the user can put the lifting member 13 into or take the same out of the inner port 11 by controlling the handle 133.
  • a silica gel pad is provided at the bottom of the base 134. The silica gel pad contacts with the bottom when the lifting member 13 is placed in the inner pot 11, which ensures the stability of the lifting member 13.
  • the steamer 12 has a circular shape basically corresponding to that of the inner pot 11. There are multiple uniformly-arranged venting holes 125 in the steamer 12, where the steam can go through to heat the food on the steamer 12.
  • a first through-hole 121 and a second through-hole 122 are arranged in the center of the steamer 12.
  • the first through-hole 121 is circular with a diameter slightly larger than that of the lifting shaft 131. Therefore, the lifting shaft 131 can go through the first through-hole 121.
  • the handle 133 of the lifting member 13 can also go through the first through-hole 121.
  • the second through-hole 122 shares a common center with the first through-hole 121.
  • the second through-hole is rectangular, with a size slightly larger than that of the positioning pin 132. When the second through-hole 122 is aligned with the positioning pin 132, the latter 132 can go through the former 122.
  • a positioning slot 123 is also provided on the bottom of the steamer 12.
  • the positioning slot 123 is also rectangular, and may be perpendicular to the second through-hole 122.
  • the size of the positioning slot 123 coordinates with that of the positioning pin 132, and the latter may be accommodated in the former.
