[0037] For example, Figure 1An embodiment of the present invention is shown, and an automatic food steamer is provided. The automatic food steamer of the embodiment of the present invention includes a feeding module (not shown in the drawings), a steam heating module 100, a transfer module (not shown in the drawings), a heat preservation module 200, a detection module (not shown in the drawings), and a control module (not shown in the drawings). Specifically, the steam heating module 100 is arranged in a square shape, and the feeding module is arranged on one side of the steam heating module 100 in the first direction, and is used to transfer food to the steam heating module 100; there are two heat preservation modules 200, one is arranged on one side of the steam heating module 100 in the second direction, and the other is arranged on one side of the steam heating module 100 in the third direction, and the heat preservation module 200 is used to store food transferred to the heat preservation module, and the heat preservation module is provided with a food removal window on one side of the steam heating module 100 in the fourth direction, for taking out food; the transfer module is arranged inside the steam heating module, and is used to transfer food that has completed a preset heating time to each heat preservation module; the detection module is used to detect the real-time working parameters of the steamer, and feed back the real-time working parameters to the control module; the control module controls each module of the steamer to operate based on the real-time working parameters fed back by the detection module. It should be noted that the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction, and the fourth direction is parallel to the first direction.

[0038] Through the arrangement of the above modules, the whole process of automated operation from feeding, heating, transportation to heat preservation is realized, which significantly saves labor costs, improves production efficiency, and ensures the safety of steam heating operation. At the same time, through the position arrangement of the feeding module, the steam heating module 100, and the heat preservation module 200, the working space is fully utilized, so that the food feeding and taking out operations can be carried out on different sides without interfering with each other, thereby improving the overall work efficiency. Moreover, the control module can dynamically adjust the operating parameters according to the real-time working parameters fed back by the detection module, so that the steamer can adapt to the steaming needs of different types of food, and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the steamer.

[0039] In some embodiments, the steam heating module 100 includes a steam water tank 101, a steam heater 102, a steam pipe 103, and 2N (N>1) heating chambers 104 with the same structure. The steam heater 102 is arranged below the bottom wall 1011 of the steam water tank 101, and is used to heat the water in the steam water tank 101 to form steam. A steam outlet 1013 is centrally arranged on the top wall 1012 of the steam water tank 101, and the steam outlet 1013 is connected to the air inlet of the steam pipe 103, and is used to introduce steam into the steam pipe 103. By setting the steam outlet 1013, the steam flow in the steam water tank 101 can be conveniently controlled, so that the steam can enter the steam pipe 103 more concentratedly and efficiently. In order to further optimize the distribution and efficiency of the steam, the steam pipe 103 is designed to evenly distribute the steam to each heating chamber 104. Each heating chamber 104 receives steam through the steam pipe 103 to achieve uniform heating of the food. In addition, the design of the steam outlet 1013 allows precise control of the steam flow rate, which helps to adjust the steam volume according to the steaming requirements of different foods, thereby improving the steaming efficiency and food quality.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heating chambers 104 are detachably stacked in two rows of N layers symmetrically on both sides of the steam pipe 103, and the steam pipe 103 includes N detachable steam sub-pipes 1030, each steam sub-pipe 1030 is respectively arranged corresponding to each layer of the heating chamber 104. Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention is shown, which provides a heating chamber and a steam sub-pipe of an automated food steamer. Specifically, the heating chamber 104 is provided with an air inlet 1041 at the bottom of the side wall 1040 close to the side of the steam pipe 103, and an air outlet 1042 is provided at the top of the side wall 1040 close to the side of the steam pipe 103. Each steam sub-pipe 1030 is respectively provided with a pipe air outlet 1031 corresponding to the heating chamber air inlet 1041 and a pipe air inlet 1032 corresponding to the heating chamber air outlet 1042. Such a configuration enables the steam of the steam pipe 103 to be introduced into each heating chamber 104, and each heating chamber 104 uses steam to heat the food transmitted to the heating chamber 104, and then the heated steam is introduced back to the steam pipe 103. It should be noted that, since the heating chambers 104 are provided on both sides of the steam pipe 103 , each steam sub-pipe 1030 includes two groups of pipe air outlets 1031 and pipe air inlets 1032 respectively provided on the left and right sides.

[0041] Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, each heating chamber 104 receives steam through the corresponding steam sub-pipeline 1030, ensuring that the food is evenly heated in each heating chamber 104, thereby improving the consistency and quality of food processing. At the same time, since multiple groups of heating operations can be performed simultaneously, the waiting time for food processing is reduced, and the overall production efficiency is improved. On the other hand, by using detachable heating chambers 104 with the same structure, the number of heating chambers 104 can be adjusted according to production needs, so that the steamer can adapt to food processing needs of different scales and types. At the same time, the modular design ensures that the failure of a single heating chamber 104 or steam sub-pipeline 103 will not affect the operation of the entire system, reducing the overall failure rate and improving the reliability of the system.

[0042] In some embodiments, the detection module further includes a visual detection component for detecting the type of food to be steamed in each heating chamber 104 during the feeding process of the feeding module. The control module also includes a heating time sub-control module for automatically determining the preset heating time of each heating chamber 104 based on the type of food to be steamed. Such a setting allows the working time of each heating chamber 104 to be automatically set, further saving labor operation costs.

[0043] For example, Figure 3An embodiment of the present invention is shown, which provides an output power adjustment control method for a steam heater of an automated food steamer. In some embodiments, the output power of the steam heater 102 automatically adjusts its output power according to a preset power curve. Further, in some embodiments, the detection module also includes a steam flow detection component A1 disposed at the steam outlet 1013, and the steam flow detection component A1 is used to detect the real-time steam flow data of the steam tank 101; the detection module also includes a temperature detection component B1 disposed on the top wall 1012 of the steam tank 101, and the temperature detection component B1 is used to detect the real-time temperature data of the steam tank 101; the detection module feeds back the real-time steam flow data detected by the steam flow detection component A1 and the real-time temperature data detected by the temperature detection component B1 to the control module. Preferably, in some embodiments, the control module further includes a steam control submodule, and the control module compares the real-time steam flow data and the real-time temperature data with the preset steam flow and the preset temperature of the steam tank 101. If the preset steam flow value and the preset temperature value are met, the steam control submodule controls the steam heater 102 to operate according to the preset power; if the preset steam flow value and the preset temperature value are not met, the steam control submodule controls the steam heater 102 to increase or decrease the output power to operate. Specifically, the increased or decreased output power is calculated by the control module, so that the real-time steam flow data and the real-time temperature data of the steam heater 102 after the increased or decreased output power is operated meet the preset steam flow value and the preset temperature value. In this way, through the integration of the visual detection component and the heating time subcontrol module, the automatic setting of the working time of each heating chamber 104 is realized, which reduces manual intervention and improves operation efficiency. Moreover, the steam furnace can automatically adjust the output power, reduce energy waste, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce operating costs. Due to the sealing of the steam tank 101 and the conductivity of the heater 102, the real-time steam flow and temperature may not meet the preset steam flow and temperature. When this happens, the steam control submodule can automatically calibrate the output power so that the real-time steam flow and temperature meet the preset steam flow and temperature to ensure the normal heating operation. The automatic calibration function of the steam control submodule improves the reliability of the system and ensures stable heating performance under various working conditions.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, each heating chamber 104 further includes a steaming grate 1043 disposed above the air inlet 1041 of the heating chamber 104, and the steaming grate 1043 and the bottom wall 1044 of the heating chamber 104 form an air inlet channel 1045; each heating chamber further includes a baffle 1046 disposed below the air outlet 1042 of the heating chamber 104, and the baffle 1046 is spaced apart from the side wall 1047 of the heating chamber 104 away from the steam pipe 103, and the baffle 1046 and the top wall 1048 of the heating chamber 104 form an air outlet channel 1049. Such an arrangement maximizes the contact area between food and steam, ensures that the food is evenly heated in the heating chamber, and improves the heating quality. At the same time, the design of the air inlet channel 1045 and the air outlet channel 1049 optimizes the steam flow path, reduces heat loss, and improves thermal efficiency. Reasonable steam flow design reduces the risk of steam leakage and improves the safety of operation.

[0045] In some embodiments, the detection module also includes a steam flow detection component A2 arranged at the air inlet 1041 of each heating chamber 104, which is used to detect the real-time steam flow data of the corresponding heating chamber 104; the detection module also includes a temperature detection component B2 arranged under the baffle 1046, which is used to detect the real-time temperature data of the steam in the heating chamber 104. Preferably, in some embodiments, the control module also includes a heating control submodule. After receiving the real-time steam flow data and the real-time steam temperature data fed back by the detection module, the control module compares them with the standard steam flow value and the standard temperature value. If they meet the requirements, no changes are made and the heating operation is carried out normally; if they do not meet the requirements, the heating control submodule adjusts the heating operation according to the heating operation adjustment mode. Exemplarily, Figure 4 An embodiment of the present invention is presented, and a heating operation adjustment control method for a heating chamber of an automated food steamer is provided. Specifically, the heating operation adjustment mode includes a preset heating time adjustment mode and a preset steam flow adjustment mode. During conventional heating operation, the steamer automatically selects the preset heating time adjustment mode for automatic adjustment; when the heating operation is manually interfered, the preset steam flow adjustment mode can be manually selected for manual adjustment. Through the above settings, each heating chamber 104 can dynamically correct the heating time according to the real-time steam flow and the real-time temperature. If the real-time steam flow and the real-time temperature are too high, the preset heating time is shortened or the preset steam flow is reduced; conversely, if the real-time steam flow and the real-time temperature are too low, the preset heating time is increased or the preset steam flow is increased. In this way, on the one hand, through the real-time data feedback of the steam flow detection component A2 and the temperature detection component B2, accurate control of each heating chamber 104 is achieved, and the uniformity and consistency of heating are improved. On the other hand, by dynamically correcting the heating time and the steam flow, the rational use of energy is achieved and the energy consumption is reduced. At the same time, the flexibility of automatic and manual adjustment is provided to meet different operation requirements.

[0046] Preferably, in some embodiments, the preset heating time adjustment mode includes the heating control submodule adjusting the preset heating time of the corresponding heating chamber 104 based on the comparison result. By adjusting the preset heating time of the corresponding heating chamber 104, it is possible to achieve heating operations without affecting other heating chambers 104. The independent control of each heating chamber 104 does not affect the operations of other heating chambers 104, thereby improving the working efficiency and flexibility of the steamer.

[0047] Preferably, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the steam heating module also includes a rotatable steam collecting plate 105 provided at the pipe outlet 1031 on both sides of each steam sub-pipe 1030, and the preset steam flow adjustment mode includes the control submodule adjusting the inclination angle of the steam collecting plate 105 based on the comparison result to adjust the steam flow entering the heating chamber 104. By adjusting the inclination angle of the steam collecting plate 105, the steam flow of the heating chamber 104 can be simply adjusted without changing its preset heating time, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the steam furnace.

[0048] Preferably, in some embodiments, the standard steam flow value and the standard temperature value can be obtained through big data statistical analysis. The big data driven method of the standard steam flow value and the standard temperature value is conducive to improving the scientificity and accuracy of the control.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the insulation module also includes an insulation water tank 201, an insulation heater 202, and N layers of N insulation chambers 203 stacked, each layer is provided with an insulation chamber 203 corresponding to the heating chamber 104, and the insulation heater 202 is used to heat the insulation water tank 201 to a specified temperature. In some embodiments, the insulation module also includes a water-heating circulation pipeline and a water-heating circulation motor. The water-heating circulation pipeline includes an upper water end, an outlet water end, and a winding section. The upper water end and the outlet water end are both arranged in the insulation water tank 201, and the winding section is arranged at the bottom of each insulation chamber 203. The water-heating circulation motor is used to realize the water circulation operation of the water-heating circulation pipeline.

[0050] In some embodiments, the automated food steamer further comprises a steam circulation module 300, illustratively, Figure 5An embodiment of the present invention is shown, and a steam circulation module of an automated food steamer is provided. Specifically, the steam circulation module 300 includes a steam guide pipe 301, a steam auxiliary heating pipe 302, and a condensation pool 303, wherein the steam auxiliary heating pipe 302 includes a steam auxiliary heating main pipe 3021 connected to the steam guide pipe 301 and M steam auxiliary heating sub-pipes 3022 connected to the steam auxiliary heating main pipe at one end, and the steam guide pipe is detachably connected to the steam pipe 103, and is used to guide excess steam to the steam auxiliary heating pipe 302. Further, in some embodiments, the steam auxiliary heating main pipe 3021 is arranged on the top wall of the insulation module 200, and the steam auxiliary heating sub-pipe 3022 is arranged on the side wall of the insulation module 200 in the first direction and the third direction. Preferably, in some embodiments, the steam auxiliary heating sub-pipe 3022 includes N detachably connected single pipes, and the other end of the steam auxiliary heating sub-pipe 3022 is connected to the condensation pool 303. This arrangement can fully utilize the steam overflowing from the steam pipe 103, and use the steam to provide heat for the heat preservation module 200, while the water droplets formed by the condensation of the steam can also gather in the condensation pool 303. Through the arrangement of the steam circulation module 300, the excess steam that may be wasted can be effectively utilized, the energy utilization efficiency is improved, the direct discharge of high-temperature steam is reduced, and the safety risks during operation are reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments, the insulation pool 201 is arranged outside the heating pool 101, and the hydrogel pool 303 is arranged outside the insulation pool 201. Further, in some embodiments, the detection module includes a water volume detection component C1 arranged in the heating pool 101 and used to detect the water volume of the heating pool 101 in real time, a water volume detection component C2 arranged in the insulation pool 201 and used to detect the water volume of the insulation pool 201 in real time, and a water volume detection component C3 arranged in the hydrogel pool 303 and used to detect the water volume of the hydrogel pool 303 in real time, and the three groups of water volume detection components detect the real-time water volume data and feed it back to the control module. Preferably, in some embodiments, the control module also includes a water volume control submodule, which automatically replenishes the water of the insulation pool 201 into the heating pool 101, automatically replenishes the hydrogel pool 303 into the insulation pool 201, and automatically replenishes the water of the external water source into the hydrogel pool 303 according to the real-time water volume data. With such a configuration, energy saving and water circulation are fully realized. Through real-time monitoring of the water volume detection components C1, C2 and C3 and automatic adjustment of the water volume control submodule, efficient utilization and circulation of water resources are achieved, reducing the waste of water resources.
