[0021] Workflow Description:

[0022] 1. Steam processing: When all the food in the steam cabinet 9 is steamed and heated and needs to be taken out, the steam cabinet 9 enters the steam processing mode, and the steam enters from the steam cabinet 9 through the control of the circulating air valve 11 and the circulating fan 1, and first enters the steam input channel 21 to enter the first cavity 211 and the second cavity 212 in the first cooling dehumidifier 22, and the steam is cooled and dehumidified for the first time. The steam that has been cooled and dehumidified for the first time enters the third cavity 241 and the fourth cavity 242 in the second cooling dehumidifier 24 through the U-shaped channel 23, and the steam is cooled and dehumidified for the second time. If the steam is cooled and dehumidified only once, the compressor needs to run at high power, which is not conducive to the stability of the circuit. The secondary cooling and dehumidification of the steam can reduce the impact of the steam processing equipment on the indoor power grid, and does not need to output high power at one time, which is stable. A fixed circuit is formed, and the effect of secondary cooling and dehumidification can save time for steam processing and improve work efficiency. The steam after secondary processing enters the steam output channel 25, and then flows back to the steam cabinet 9 through the output pipe 3, completing a cycle of cooling and dehumidifying the steam. Then the steam treatment equipment continues to circulate and treat the steam. The treated steam is compatible with the steam in the steam cabinet 9 for cooling and dehumidification. The steam treatment equipment then extracts steam from the steam cabinet 9 for circulation treatment. When the temperature in the steam cabinet is greater than 75°C, the steam treatment equipment continues to cool and dehumidify. After the steam equipment has cooled and dehumidified the steam for multiple cycles, the internal temperature of the steam cabinet 9 is lower than 70°C, and the internal moisture content reaches the emission standard, the steam equipment stops working, the circulating air valve 11 and the circulating fan 1 are closed, and the steam treatment mode is closed.

[0023] 2. Refrigeration and preservation: before the steam cabinet 9 needs to be replenished with food, the steam cabinet 9 enters the refrigeration and preservation mode. The internal temperature of the steam cabinet 9 is high, and the steam processing equipment needs to reduce the temperature of the steam cabinet 9 to between 5°C and 8°C. The liquid in the storage cold tank 43 enters the second compressor 6 through the first compressor 5 and then enters the cooling and dehumidification device to cool and dehumidify the steam extracted from the steam cabinet 9. The steam enters the steam cabinet 9 through the control of the circulating air valve 11 and the circulating fan 1, and first enters the steam input channel 21 to enter the first cavity 211 and the second cavity 212 in the first cooling and dehumidifier 22, and the steam is cooled and dehumidified for the first time. The steam that has been cooled and dehumidified for the first time enters the third cavity 241 and the fourth cavity 242 in the second cooling and dehumidifier 24 through the U-shaped channel 23, and the steam is cooled and dehumidified for the second time. The steam is compatible with the steam in the steam cabinet 9 for cooling and dehumidification. The steam processing equipment then extracts steam from the steam cabinet 9 for circulation processing. After multiple cycles of cooling and dehumidifying the steam, the temperature in the steam cabinet reaches a preset 5°C-8°C. The staff opens the steam cabinet 9 and puts the food into the steam cabinet 9 for refrigeration and preservation. When the temperature in the steam cabinet 9 exceeds 8°C, the steam processing equipment starts the refrigeration and preservation work. When the temperature of the steam cabinet 9 is lower than 5°C, the steam processing equipment stops the refrigeration and preservation work. When the refrigeration and preservation function of the steam cabinet 9 exceeds 90 minutes, the steam cabinet 9 stops working and enters the defrosting state. The pressure relay 8 performs a 15-minute defrosting process. After the defrosting is completed, it takes another 5 minutes to discharge the residual defrosting water. After 20 minutes of defrosting, the steam processing equipment continues to work in the refrigeration and preservation state.

[0024] The steam processing equipment can not only heat food with steam, but also keep food fresh in the refrigerator, thereby improving the utilization rate of the equipment and reducing the reinvestment of other equipment. The equipment is compact in design, which solves the contradiction of insufficient space and makes the equipment more environmentally friendly.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
