[0002] Steaming is a common method in food processing that effectively kills microorganisms, stabilizes food structure, and preserves its original nutrients. Continuous steaming technology can improve production efficiency and product consistency. However, grains require rapid cooling after steaming to prevent microbial growth and deterioration of food quality. Continuous cooling technology stabilizes product quality and improves production efficiency.

[0003] After steaming grains, it is difficult to evenly distribute the cooked grains over the conveyor unit to achieve a quick cooling effect. This makes it easy for bacteria to grow and the nutritional value and flavor of the food cannot be well preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a continuous grain steaming and cooling equipment for food processing to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a continuous grain steaming and cooling equipment for food processing, so as to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background technology that after the existing grains are steamed, it is difficult to evenly break up the cooked grains above the conveying unit to achieve the effect of rapid cooling, which makes it easy to breed bacteria and cannot well retain the nutrition and flavor of the food. The technical solution of the present invention addresses the technical problem that the existing technical solutions are too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a continuous grain steaming and cooling device for food processing, comprising a base, a side plate provided on one side of the base, and a slide rail installed above the base, a transmission unit connected to the inner side of the base, and a cylinder installed on the other side of the base, the cylinder being connected to a push plate through a piston, and a cooling pipe evenly installed on one side of the push plate; a breaking mechanism for evenly breaking up cooked grains for cooling is provided above the conveyor belt outside the transmission unit, a material guide barrel is provided above the slide rail, and electric push rods are installed on both sides of the material guide barrel, and the upper end of the electric push rod is connected to a connecting plate.

[0006] In a further embodiment, slide grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the base, and the two slide grooves are arranged in parallel. A through groove is also provided on one side of the base, and a scraper is connected to one end of the base, and the cooling pipe is connected to the through groove.

[0007] In a further embodiment, a guide groove is provided above the side plate, and the guide groove is in a serpentine shape.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the breaking up mechanism includes a sliding rod slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove, and a breaking up rod is installed under the sliding rod, a handle is connected to one end of the sliding rod, a first guide roller is provided on the outside near the end of the sliding rod, and a first ball is rollingly connected to the lower end of the first guide roller.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the first guide roller forms a sliding structure through balls and the guide groove.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the bottom end of the beating rod is in contact with the conveyor belt outside the transmission unit.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a second guide roller is installed at the bottom of the material guide barrel, and a second ball is rollingly connected to the bottom end of the second guide roller, and the second guide roller forms a sliding structure through the second ball and the slide rail.

[0012] In a further embodiment, an extrusion block is installed below the connecting plate, and the extrusion block and the inner side of the material guiding barrel are in a nested structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention is equipped with a dispersing mechanism. The dispersing mechanism's sliding rod is connected to a dispersing rod. Manually pushed by a handle, the dispersing rod moves in a staggered pattern above a conveyor belt, thereby dispersing the cooked grains. Because the dispersing rods move in a staggered pattern, compared to existing technologies, localized accumulation can be effectively avoided, ensuring uniform dispersal. Furthermore, the bottom end of the dispersing rod contacts the conveyor belt, further dispersing any clumping grains, improving the dispersal effect. This invention features cooling tubes that are driven by a cylinder to guide the push plate into the conveyor unit, enabling uniform cooling of the grain. Due to the large number of cooling tubes and their even distribution, the grain temperature can be effectively reduced, preventing the growth of microorganisms. Furthermore, the design of the cooling tubes ensures uniform cooling of the grain, preventing localized cooling deficiencies and further improving food quality. The present invention evenly spreads the cooked grains on a conveyor belt through a material guide barrel, and continuously scatters and cools the grains through a scattering mechanism and a cooling pipe, thereby realizing continuous processing of the grains. The invention mainly consists of a base, a transmission unit, a breaking up mechanism, a cooling pipe, a material guide barrel and other components, and is easy to install and maintain.

[0018] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5, an extrusion block 1101 is installed under the connecting plate 11, and the extrusion block 1101 is nested with the inner side of the guide barrel 9. Slide grooves 101 are provided on the front and rear sides of the base 1, and the two slide grooves 101 are arranged in parallel. A through groove 102 is also provided on one side of the base 1, and a scraper 103 is connected to one end of the base 1. The cooling pipe 7 is connected to the through groove 102 through the through groove 102. A second guide roller 901 is installed at the bottom of the guide barrel 9, and a second ball 902 is connected to the bottom of the second guide roller 901 in a rolling manner. The second guide roller 901 forms a sliding structure through the second ball 902 and the slide rail 3; First, the cooked grains are evenly spread above the transmission belt outside the transmission unit 4 through the material guide barrel 9. The specific spreading steps are: start the electric push rod 10 through the control button, drive the connecting plate 11 and the extrusion block 1101 to move downward, and slowly squeeze the cooked grains inside the material guide barrel 9 from the bottom discharge port to the conveyor belt outside the transmission unit 4. At the same time, with the cooperation of the second guide roller 901, the second ball 902 and the slide rail 3, the material guide barrel 9 is manually and slowly pushed, so that the cooked grains in the material guide barrel 9 can be effectively and evenly spread above the transmission belt.

[0019] Example 2 Please refer to Figure 2-5 , which is different from Example 1 is that the breaking mechanism 8 includes a sliding rod 801 slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 101, and a breaking rod 802 is installed under the sliding rod 801, one end of the sliding rod 801 is connected to a handle 805, and a first guide roller 803 is provided on the outer side near the end of the sliding rod 801, and the lower end of the first guide roller 803 is rollingly connected to the first ball 804, the first guide roller 803 forms a sliding structure through the first ball 804 and the guide groove 201, the bottom end of the breaking rod 802 is in contact with the conveyor belt outside the transmission unit 4, and a guide groove 201 is provided above the side plate 2, and the guide groove 201 is serpentine; Then, the handle 805 can be pushed manually, and the sliding rod 801, the beating rod 802, and the first guide roller 803 can be driven to slide along the length direction of the transmission unit 4 under the sliding cooperation of the first ball 804 and the guide groove 201. Since the guide groove 201 is serpentine and symmetrically arranged, the first guide roller 803 can slide back and forth on the guide groove 201 in an interlaced manner. When the first guide roller 803 slides back and forth in an interlaced manner, it can drive the beating rod 802 to move in an interlaced manner above the transmission unit 4, thereby effectively beating and cooling the cooked grains above the conveyor belt evenly. In order to increase the cooling speed of the cooked grains above the conveyor belt, the breaking up mechanism 8 is pushed to the edge of the transmission unit 4 at this time, and the cylinder 5 is started by the control button to drive the cooling pipe 7 on one side of the push plate 6 to be introduced into the transmission unit 4 through the through groove 102, so that several cooling pipes 7 can evenly cool the cooked grains that are evenly broken up above the transmission unit 4.

[0020] Working principle: Figure 1-5 As shown, the cooked grains are first evenly spread above the transmission belt outside the transmission unit 4 through the material guide barrel 9. The specific spreading steps are: start the electric push rod 10 through the control button to drive the connecting plate 11 and the extrusion block 1101 to move downward, and slowly squeeze the cooked grains inside the material guide barrel 9 from the bottom discharge port to the conveyor belt outside the transmission unit 4. At the same time, with the cooperation of the second guide roller 901, the second ball 902 and the slide rail 3, the material guide barrel 9 is manually and slowly pushed, so that the cooked grains in the material guide barrel 9 can be effectively and evenly spread above the transmission belt.

[0021] Then, the handle 805 can be pushed manually, and the sliding rod 801, the beating rod 802, and the first guide roller 803 can be driven to slide along the length direction of the transmission unit 4 under the sliding cooperation of the first ball 804 and the guide groove 201. Since the guide groove 201 is serpentine and symmetrically arranged, the first guide roller 803 can slide back and forth on the guide groove 201 in an interlaced manner. When the first guide roller 803 slides back and forth in an interlaced manner, it can drive the beating rod 802 to move in an interlaced manner above the transmission unit 4, thereby effectively beating and cooling the cooked grains above the conveyor belt evenly.

[0022] In order to increase the cooling speed of the cooked grains above the conveyor belt, the breaking up mechanism 8 is pushed to the edge of the transmission unit 4 at this time, and the cylinder 5 is started by the control button to drive the cooling pipe 7 on one side of the push plate 6 to be introduced into the transmission unit 4 through the through groove 102, so that several cooling pipes 7 can be inserted between the cooked grains, so that the cooked grains after being broken up above the transmission unit 4 can be evenly cooled.

[0023] After the cooked grains are cooled, the servo motor on the rear side can be started by the control button to rotate the transmission unit 4, thereby transmitting the cooled cooked grains to one side. During the transmission of the cooked grains, the scraper 103 can be used to continuously scrape and discharge the cooked grains on the surface of the conveyor belt, and finally the scraped cooked grains can be stored in the storage frame.
