Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam engine technology, and in particular to a split-type steam microwave heating machine suitable for boxed meals. Background Technology
[0002] A boxed meal is a fast food format where the main dish, main course, and side dishes are packaged in separate containers. This design allows each part of the food to retain its original flavor and texture, avoiding the mixing of flavors between different ingredients. Boxed meals are not only convenient to carry and eat, but also very suitable for the fast-paced modern lifestyle, allowing busy people to enjoy a nutritionally balanced and delicious meal in a short time. In addition, boxed meals are also environmentally friendly because they usually use reusable tableware, reducing the use of disposable tableware and helping to protect the environment.
[0003] Currently, existing boxed meals are heated using traditional methods such as soaking in boiling water, microwaving, or direct heating on a stove. While these methods can meet heating requirements to some extent, they often result in uneven heating, causing some food to overheat while others remain cold. This leads to low heating efficiency, long heating time, high energy consumption, and damage to the taste and nutritional value of the food. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to heat boxed meals quickly and evenly, resulting in low efficiency, high energy consumption, and damage to the taste and nutritional value of food. Therefore, this invention proposes a split-type steam microwave heating machine suitable for boxed meals.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Split-type steam microwave heating machine, including:
[0007] The machine body has a door hinged to one side, and a touch screen is embedded in one side of the door. A frame is fixedly installed inside the machine body, and a steam generator is fixedly installed above the frame inside the machine body. A water tank is fixedly installed next to the steam generator inside the machine body. The water tank is connected to the input end of the steam generator, and a steam nozzle is fixedly connected to the output end of the steam generator.
[0008] The lifting mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to lift the boxed meals for subsequent heating.
[0009] The push mechanism is set on the frame and used to push out the heated boxed meals.
[0010] In one possible design, the lifting mechanism includes four lead screws rotatably arranged in a rectangle at the four corners of the frame. The four lead screws are externally threaded to the same tray. Two tensioning wheels are symmetrically and adjustablely arranged on the top of the frame. Synchronous pulleys are fixedly arranged on the outer side of the top of each of the four lead screws. The two synchronous pulleys and the tensioning wheels on the same side are externally driven by the same synchronous belt. Two motors are symmetrically fixedly arranged at the bottom of the frame. One end of the output shaft of each of the two motors is fixedly equipped with a driving gear. The bottom end of each of the two lead screws is fixedly equipped with a driven gear, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0011] In one possible design, the pushing mechanism includes a support plate fixedly mounted on the rear side of the frame, a slide plate slidably mounted on the top of the support plate, a rack fixedly mounted on the top of the slide plate, a push plate fixedly mounted on the front side of the slide plate, a motor fixedly mounted on the top of the support plate, and a drive gear fixedly mounted on one end of the output shaft of the motor, the drive gear meshing with the rack.
[0012] In one possible design, a food inlet / outlet is provided on one side of the machine door, and a door panel is slidably installed on the rear side of the machine door at the food inlet / outlet. A rotating rod is rotatably installed on the rear side of the machine door, and two synchronous pulleys are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating rod. Two synchronous pulleys are rotatably installed on both sides of the door panel. The synchronous pulleys on the same side and the synchronous pulleys are externally driven by the same synchronous belt. A driven gear is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, and a motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the machine door. A driving gear is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0013] In one possible design, a cover is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame, and the output end of the steam nozzle passes through the top of the cover and extends into the interior of the cover.
[0014] In one possible design, a steam extraction fan is fixedly connected to one side of the cover.
[0015] In one possible design, multiple evenly distributed cooling fans are embedded on both sides of the body.
[0016] In this application, when starting to use the split-type steam microwave heater, first turn on the power supply. At this time, the touch screen will light up and display the operation interface. Then check whether there is enough water in the water tank to ensure that the steam generator can work normally. Then select the heating mode, temperature and time parameters on the touch screen.
[0017] Then, manually operate the touch screen to open the door panel. At this time, a signal is transmitted to motor three, causing motor three to start. The output shaft of motor three drives the drive gear two to rotate. The drive gear two rotates simultaneously with the driven gear two. The driven gear two rotates simultaneously with the rotating rod. When the rotating rod rotates, it drives the synchronous wheel two to rotate. When the synchronous wheel two rotates, it drives the synchronous wheel three through the synchronous belt two. Thus, the synchronous wheel three drives the door panel to slide upward to open the food inlet and outlet. Then, place the boxed meal that needs to be heated on the tray. After the boxed meal is placed, start motor three again to reset the door panel and close the food inlet and outlet.
[0018] After the boxed meal is placed, start the lifting mechanism on the touch screen. At this time, the two motors start working. One end of the output shaft of the two motors drives the drive gear to rotate. While the two drive gears rotate, they drive the two lead screws to rotate through the driven gear. While the two lead screws rotate, they drive the other two lead screws to rotate through the cooperation of the timing belt and the timing pulley, so that the four lead screws rotate synchronously. While the four lead screws rotate synchronously, they lift the tray and the boxed meal on it closer to the cover until the bottom of the tray touches the cover. At this time, the boxed meal is inside the cover. Then, click the "Start Heating" button on the touch screen. The steam generator starts working and produces high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam is sprayed into the inside of the cover through the steam nozzle and acts on the boxed meal to heat it.
[0019] After heating is complete, turn off the steam generator and then start the steam extractor to remove the moisture inside the cover and keep the internal environment dry. Then, start motor two to reverse and lower the lunchbox to the initial position. At the same time, start motor three to open the door panel and then start the pushing mechanism. At this time, the output shaft of motor one drives the drive gear to rotate. While the drive gear is rotating, it meshes with the rack and pinion, driving the rack to move. While the rack is moving, it drives the slide plate and push plate forward on the support plate until it hits the lunchbox and pushes the heated lunchbox out of the inlet and outlet. Then, motor three works to close the door panel.
[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This invention achieves rapid generation and precise delivery of high-temperature steam through the design of a steam generator and steam nozzle. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator is evenly sprayed into the inside of the cover through the steam nozzle, directly acting on the boxed meal, thus achieving an efficient and uniform heating effect and ensuring the quality and taste of the boxed meal.
[0022] This utility model achieves automatic lifting of the boxed meal through the setting of the lifting mechanism, which can easily send the boxed meal into the cover for efficient heating, and automatically lower the boxed meal to the initial position after heating is completed. This not only optimizes the heating process, but also greatly facilitates the subsequent pushing operation, and significantly improves the overall work efficiency and ease of operation.
[0023] This invention enables the automatic delivery of the boxed meals after heating by setting up a pushing mechanism, which simplifies the meal collection process, improves service efficiency, and also ensures the stability and safety of the boxed meals during the delivery process.
[0024] This invention achieves rapid and uniform heating of boxed meals through the design of a steam generator and steam nozzle, ensuring the quality and taste of the food while improving heating efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Attached Figure Description
