Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a related device for food preparation, in particular to a convenient-controlled in-and-out steamer for preparing pressed duck. Background Art

[0002] Pressed duck is a common delicacy in southern my country. During the production of pressed duck, fumigation is one of the essential cooking techniques. In the traditional large-scale fumigation process using stacked steamers, people have to get close to the steamer to load the pressed duck and unload it when it is smoked. Due to the high temperature near the steamer, people are very likely to get burned if they get close to it.

[0003] In addition, the stacking of traditional steamers for fumigation results in a relatively high height, which makes it inconvenient to manually load the pressed duck and unload it from the pot. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the defects existing in the above-mentioned fumigation process of pressed duck, the present invention proposes a convenient-control entry and exit steamer for making pressed duck.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] A conveniently controlled entry-exit steamer for making pressed duck consists of a main cage and several drawers within it. The front wall of the main cage features a cavity groove that allows each drawer to slide back and forth. Each drawer is equipped with an automatic entry-exit control assembly. The main cage is also connected to a feeding device, and each drawer is equipped with an unloading device. The main cage can be placed on a steamer. Each drawer holds the pressed duck for fumigation. Each drawer can slide back and forth within the cavity groove. The automatic entry-exit control assembly controls the forward and backward movement of each drawer. The feeding device pushes the pressed duck from outside into each drawer. The unloading device unloads the steamed pressed duck.

[0007] Furthermore, the cages are evenly distributed in the vertical direction, and ventilation grooves are evenly distributed at the bottom of each cage. That is, during heating and fumigation, hot air can rise through the ventilation grooves to fumigate the pressed duck in each cage.

[0008] Furthermore, the in-and-out control assembly is composed of a hydraulic cylinder hingedly mounted on the right side of the main cage body and a longitudinal rod hingedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder; the upper end of the longitudinal rod is hingedly mounted on the main cage body. That is, the longitudinal rod can swing under the push and pull of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinal rod is provided with a longitudinal groove, and each cage is provided with a rearward shaft that slides and hinges with the longitudinal groove. That is, the forward swing of the longitudinal rod can pull all the cages forward, and the front ends of all the cages are arranged in an inclined line.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a lateral frame mounted on the left side of the main cage, a conveyor belt mounted on the lateral frame, and a feeding structure. The conveyor belt is tilted. The right end of the conveyor belt abuts the left side wall of the main cage, which reduces the distance between the conveyor belt and each cage to a negligible distance, facilitating the transfer of pressed duck into and out of the cage. The tilted conveyor belt also facilitates the transfer of pressed duck into and out of the cage.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is equipped with partition plates evenly distributed along the conveying track thereof. The partition plates not only play a role of separation during the conveying of pressed duck, but also play a supporting role.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism consists of a pneumatic cylinder mounted on a lateral frame and a coordinating frame connecting the cylinders. Each coordinating frame is equipped with several coordinating rods, and the lateral frame has slots that slide into the coordinating rods. When the pressed duck is conveyed to the appropriate height, the pneumatic cylinder pulls the coordinating frame, causing each coordinating rod to move leftward, pushing the pressed duck into its corresponding cage.

[0013] Furthermore, the number and placement of the coordinating rods correspond to the number and placement of the cages. This configuration is essential for ensuring stable delivery of the pressed duck to the cages. Furthermore, the vertical spacing between adjacent dividers on the upper front portion of the conveyor belt is equal to the spacing between adjacent cages.

[0014] There is a chute on the upper end of the rear side wall of each cage, and a slope on the left inner side of each cage. The slope is set to facilitate the entry and exit of pressed duck.

[0015] Furthermore, the unloading device comprises a main push plate slidably mounted on a chute, a screw connected to the main push plate, a motor connected to the screw, and an extended push plate that slidably engages the main push plate. The motor is mounted on the rear wall of the steamer. The front lower end of the main push plate is provided with an inner lower groove, into which the extended push plate slides. A spring is also mounted at the upper end of the inner lower groove, connecting the extended push plate. In the initial state, the bottom end of the main push plate abuts against the inner bottom end of the steamer under the action of elastic force. Driven by the screw and nut, the extended push plate and the main push plate slide horizontally, thereby pushing the pressed duck over the inclined slope and onto the conveyor belt, completing the unloading process.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] The present invention relies on an inclined conveyor belt to transport the pressed duck and subsequently push the material for loading, keeping workers away from the steamer to avoid burns and providing increased safety. The stacked steamers can automatically load pressed duck and unload it, offering convenient operation and reduced labor. The system can also load and unload large quantities of pressed duck, making it suitable for mass production of pressed duck and highly practical. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be explained more clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention, not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a steamer with convenient access for making pressed duck is provided with a main cage body 1 and a plurality of cage drawers 2 located inside the main cage body 1; a cavity wall groove 1a is provided on the front side wall of the main cage body 1 for sliding each cage drawer 2 back and forth; each cage drawer 2 is equipped with an automatic access control component; the main cage body 1 is also connected to a feeding device; and each cage drawer 2 is installed with an unloading device. The main cage body 1 can be placed on a steamer. The interior of each cage drawer 2 is used to store pressed duck for fumigation. Each cage drawer 2 can slide back and forth through the cavity wall groove 1a. The automatic access control component is used to control the forward and backward sliding of each cage drawer 2. The feeding device is used to push the pressed duck from the outside to the inside of each cage drawer 2. The unloading device can unload and send out the steamed pressed duck.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the cages 2 are evenly distributed in the vertical direction, and ventilation grooves 2a are evenly distributed at the bottom of each cage 2. That is, during heating and fumigation, hot air can rise through the ventilation grooves 2a to fumigate the pressed duck in each cage 2.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the entry and exit control assembly is composed of a hydraulic cylinder 3 hingedly mounted on the right side of the main cage body 1 and a longitudinal rod 4 hingedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 3; the upper end of the longitudinal rod 4 is hingedly mounted on the main cage body 1. That is, the longitudinal rod 4 can swing under the push and pull of the hydraulic cylinder 3.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the longitudinal rod 4 is provided with a longitudinal slot 4a, and each cage 2 is provided with a rearward shaft 2d that slides and hinges with the longitudinal slot 4a. In other words, the forward swing of the longitudinal rod 4 can pull all the cages 2 forward, and the front ends of all the cages 2 are arranged in an inclined line.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding equipment includes a lateral frame 5 mounted on the left side of the main cage body 1, a conveyor belt 6 mounted on the lateral frame 5, and a feeding structure. The conveyor belt 6 is arranged at an angle. The right end of the conveyor belt 6 abuts the left side wall of the main cage body 1, which reduces the distance between the conveyor belt 6 and each cage 2 to a negligible distance, facilitating the transportation of the pressed duck in and out of the cage 2. The inclined conveyor belt 6 also facilitates the transportation of the pressed duck in and out of the cage 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 6 is equipped with partition plates 14 evenly distributed along its own conveying track direction. In addition to playing a separating role in the process of conveying pressed duck, the partition plates 14 can also play a supporting role.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the feeding mechanism consists of a cylinder 7 mounted on a lateral frame 5 and a coordinating frame 8 connected to the cylinder 7. Each coordinating frame 8 is equipped with a number of coordinating rods 8a, and the lateral frame 5 is provided with slots 5a that slide and fit with the coordinating rods 8a. When the pressed duck is conveyed to the appropriate height, the cylinder 7 pulls the coordinating frame 8, which causes each coordinating rod 8a to move leftward and push the pressed duck into the corresponding cage 2.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the number and distribution of the coordinating rods 8a correspond to the number and distribution of the cages 2. This arrangement is necessary to ensure stable delivery of the pressed duck into the cages 2. Furthermore, the vertical spacing between adjacent partitions 14 on the upper front portion of the conveyor belt 6 is equal to the spacing between adjacent cages 2.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the rear side wall of each cage 2 is provided with a chute 2b, and the left inner side of each cage 2 is provided with an inclined slope 2c. The inclined slope 2c is provided to facilitate the entry and exit of the pressed duck.

[0036] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the unloading device is composed of a push plate 9 slidably mounted on the chute 2b, a screw 10 connected to the push plate 9, a motor 13 connected to the screw 10, and an extension push plate 11 that slides with the push plate 9; the motor 13 is mounted on the rear side wall of the cage 2, and the lower front end of the push plate 9 is provided with an inner lower groove 9a, and the extension push plate 11 is slidably mounted in the inner lower groove 9a. The upper end of the inner lower groove 9a is also equipped with a spring 12 connected to the extension push plate 11. In the initial state, the bottom end of the push plate 9 is in contact with the inner bottom end of the cage 2 under the action of elastic force. Through the transmission of the screw nut, the extension push plate 11 and the push plate 9 can slide horizontally, so that the pressed duck can be pushed over the inclined slope 2c and onto the conveyor belt 6, completing the unloading.

[0037] In the initial state, each extended push plate 11 is located at the right side of the cage 2 .

[0038] The specific method of use of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] First, it is only necessary to place the bottom end of the main cage body 1 on a corresponding steamer for heating and fumigation, so that the lower front portion of the conveyor belt 6 can extend to the outside of the steamer.

[0040] When feeding is needed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 simply pushes the longitudinal rod 4, causing it to swing forward parallel to the conveyor belt 6, allowing each cage 2 to be pulled forward and the front of each cage 2 to be open and facing upward. Then, several pressed ducks are manually placed on the conveyor belt 6. After being transported to the upper and rearward side of the conveyor belt 6 to the appropriate position, the cylinder 7 pulls the coordination frame 8, which causes each coordination rod 8a to move leftward and push the pressed duck into the corresponding cage 2. The hydraulic cylinder 3 then pulls the longitudinal rod 4 back to its original position, and the fumigation of the pressed duck can begin.

[0041] After fumigation is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 pushes the longitudinal rod 4 again to open each cage 2. The motor 13 drives the screw 10 to rotate, so that the push plate 11 and the main push plate 9 are extended to push the corresponding pressed duck to the left and over the inclined slope 2c to the conveyor belt 6, and the conveyor belt 6 transports the unloading, that is, the automatic unloading is completed.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
