The food in the steam cabinet has to wait for a long time to be heated, and a large amount of water is continuously boiled until the food is cooked. After steaming, there is still a large amount of heated water in the steam cabinet. 2. When steaming one or two steam trays with a small amount of food, the required small amount of steam cannot be adjusted, wasting time and energy (such as gas, electricity). Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of existing steam cabinets, to provide a method of boiling the least amount of water, enabling the food to be heated quickly and automatically maintaining this state until cooked, and to provide a method of adjusting the required steam volume according to the number of steam trays. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention can be composed of the following parts: such as Figure 2 , steam extension outlet elbow 1, automatic trachea storage box 2, steam extension pipe 3, steam outlet elbow 4, air and excess water outlet 5, water inlet pipe 7, water tank support frame 8, water tank 9, water tank auxiliary steel ring 10, water tank support hardening rib 11, water inlet ( Figure 1), some distance data (for reference only in this article and the best ones need to be found through physical experiments in actual applications); stainless steel bellows (which can be bent at will, is more durable and heat-resistant, and is suitable for users who can determine that all the steaming trays are always steamed) can also be used to replace the three parts of the air pipe automatic storage box 2, the steam extension pipe 3, and the steam outlet elbow 4; the water inlet pipe 7 can be a steel pipe or two steel pipe elbows + a soft rubber pipe or a bellows; all the connecting links from the water inlet to the water tank must be firm, leak-proof, and airtight; the water tank support frame 8 can be made of angle steel, and there is a support ring made of round steel pipe or flat steel installed on the outer corner to surround the root of the water outlet of the water tank 9; the water tank 9 can be replaced by a water dispenser water bucket of the threaded cover middle cover type; the water tank auxiliary steel ring 10 can be made of all steel or a small part connected by a tension spring. One side of the steel ring close to the steaming cabinet can rotate 90 degrees up and down, and the opposite side can be lifted up against the side of the steaming cabinet to facilitate lifting out or lowering to cover the water tank 9; the water tank 9 can be easily and quickly lifted out and inserted to facilitate water addition; the water tank support hardening rib 11 is a rib in the new steaming cabinet solution, and a long strip trapezoidal or square groove can be pressed at the position required on the outer steel plate of the steaming cabinet, with the concave surface facing inward and the convex surface facing outward; the water tank support hardening rib 11 can be a long strip square pipe in the transformation or modification solution of the existing flat-bottom type steaming cabinet, and a long strip square pipe can be installed at the position required on the outer steel plate of the steaming cabinet; the water tank support hardening rib 11 can also be 0 in all solutions, and the water tank support frame 8, the water tank 9, and the water auxiliary steel ring 10 are directly set at any one of the long corners on the four long corners on the outer side of the steaming cabinet. Using the steaming cabinet of the present invention can boil the least amount of water, quickly heat the food, greatly shorten the waiting time for the food to be heated, and after the food is cooked, there is only a small amount of water heated in the steaming cabinet. The required steam volume can also be adjusted according to the number of steaming trays (for example: steaming two trays requires nearly half less steam volume than steaming four trays), which is more energy-saving and time-saving, and has a stronger market competition advantage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the partial (water inlet) connection structure of an electric heating tube steaming cabinet using the present invention Figure 2 is a rear view of the usage state of an electric heating tube steaming cabinet using the present invention In the figure, the two parts of the drain valve 6 and the circuit control operation box 12 are drawn symbolically. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A steaming cabinet with an electric heating tube as the heat source Figure 2For example, a steam extension outlet elbow 1 can be installed or modified at the steam outlet near the top of the outer side of the steaming cabinet body 13. A steam extension pipe 3 is installed in the automatic trachea storage box 2, and the automatic trachea storage box 2 is fixed near the top and the steam extension outlet elbow 1. One end of the steam extension pipe 3 is connected to the steam extension outlet elbow 1, and the other end is connected to the steam outlet elbow 4. The best horizontal position where the steam outlet elbow 4 hangs naturally is about 20 mm lower than the bottom of the lowest steaming tray in the steaming cabinet, and it rises and falls with the increase or decrease of the number of steaming trays. The air and excess water outlet 5 is set at any side of the steaming cabinet at a horizontal position 15 to 30 mm below the upper side of the electric heating tube or the inner bottom of the steaming cabinet (applicable to steaming cabinets heated by gas and induction cookers), and more than 30 mm lower than the bottom of the lowest steaming tray in the steaming cabinet. One end of the water inlet pipe 7 is movably connected to the water outlet of the water tank 9. The water tank 9 is supported by a water tank support frame 8 on the water tank support and stiffening rib 11 fixed on the outer side of the steaming cabinet body 13 near the bottom. The water tank 9 is held by a water tank auxiliary steel ring 10 fixed on the water tank support and stiffening rib 11. The other end of the water inlet pipe 7 passes through the outer side of the steaming cabinet body 13 near the bottom and enters the steaming cabinet; such as Figure 1After the other end 2 of the water inlet pipe on the inner side 1 of the steaming cabinet shown passes through the steaming cabinet and bends towards the bottom, the pipe orifice (water inlet) is horizontally positioned 6 to 10 millimeters parallel to the upper side of the electric heating tube or the inner bottom 3 of the steaming cabinet (applicable to steaming cabinets heated by gas and induction cookers). The three parts of the steam extension pipe 3, the air and excess water outlet 5, and the water inlet pipe 7 of the present invention can be jointly arranged on the same surface or can be respectively arranged on different surfaces. The usage process of the steaming cabinet using the present invention is as follows: Before starting to steam, First, pull out or loosen the end of the water inlet pipe 7 that is movably connected to the water outlet of the water tank 9; Second, lift the outermost side of the water tank auxiliary steel ring 10 upwards and lean it against the side of the steaming cabinet; Third, lift out the water tank 9 upwards; Fourth, fill the water tank 9 with water, cover the middle cover, and cover the lid back; Fifth, install the water tank 9 back (the water outlet passes through the support ring at the outer corner of the water tank support frame 8, align it with the water inlet pipe 7 and insert it, lower the water tank auxiliary steel ring 10 to cover the water tank 9, and then insert and tighten the connection between the water inlet pipe 7 and the water tank 9). After that, the air in the steaming cabinet enters the water tank 9, and the water in the water tank 9 can enter the steaming cabinet until the water level in the steaming cabinet covers the water inlet and the water inlet stops, and there are no large air bubbles rising in the water tank (if there are still small air bubbles rising continuously, it means there is air leakage at the connection, lid, water pipe, or water tank. In this case, the water in the steaming cabinet will overflow from the air and excess water outlet 5 soon).; Power on and start steaming, Sixth, fully open the horsepower and start at the maximum gear at the beginning. If the steaming cabinet has a function of automatically shutting down at a set time, if it is used for the first time at this time, it is necessary to time and record, including the type of food, the amount of food, the time used at the maximum gear, the optimal gear, the time used at the optimal gear, and the total time, for use as the data for automatically shutting down at a set time next time; if it is used again at this time, set the automatic shutdown at a set time according to the data for automatically shutting down at a set time; if you are in a hurry or want to cook faster, keep it at the maximum gear until it is cooked; After powering on and starting to steam, the water in the steaming cabinet is gradually heated to generate water vapor, the water vapor gradually rises and increases, and at the same time, the air in the original steaming cabinet is gradually pressed down by the steam and discharged outwards through the air and excess water outlet 5; if you are not in a hurry or want to save energy, Seventh, until steam overflows from the air and excess water outlet 5, adjust it to the minimum gear (current); Eighth, until there is a trace amount of steam or no steam overflowing from the steam outlet elbow 4, adjust it up one gear; Ninth, until steam overflows from the air and excess water outlet 5, adjust it down one gear; Tenth, repeat the operation like this until the optimal gear is found (steam overflows from the steam outlet elbow 4 and no steam overflows from the air and excess water outlet 5) or adjust it up one gear.
