Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of peach gum and white fungus cooking technology, specifically to a constant temperature cooking and concentration device for peach gum and white fungus. Background Technology

[0002] Peach gum and white fungus, both rich in nutrients, are increasingly favored by consumers. Peach gum is rich in various plant colloids and natural polysaccharides, which help boost immunity and promote skin health; white fungus, rich in colloids, plant protein, and various amino acids, is known as a "people's tonic" and has the effects of moisturizing the lungs, strengthening the spleen, and nourishing the stomach. The combination of the two is not only nutritious but also has a unique taste, making it a very popular ingredient in tonics and beverages on the current market.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number: CN112655916A) discloses a low-calorie, high-nutrient dessert made with golden ear fungus, white fungus, peach gum, and durian, and its preparation method. The method involves processing golden ear fungus and white fungus, then adding water to a pot and heating and simmering for 40-100 minutes. Soaked peach gum is then added and simmered for another 10-30 minutes. Durian flesh is then added and simmered for another 5-10 minutes. Finally, sucralose is added and stirred well to obtain a delicious, nutritious, and sugar-free golden ear fungus, white fungus, peach gum, and durian dessert. Currently, there is no specialized equipment on the market for cooking peach gum and white fungus, making it impossible to automate the processing of the materials. Before cooking, the soaked peach gum and white fungus require complex operations such as washing, removing impurities, filtering water, and cutting into small pieces, which need to be completed manually or using other equipment in separate steps. This complex process significantly affects cooking efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a constant-temperature cooking and concentration device for peach gum and white fungus to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution: A constant-temperature cooking and concentration device for peach gum and tremella includes a heating box. The top of the heating box is equipped with a top plate. The top plate has several through holes. An elastic scraper is arranged in a ring inside the through holes. A cutting groove is opened at the top of the through holes. The top of the top plate is equipped with a lifting cutting plate. The cutting plate has several cutting ring blades inside. The cutting ring blades are arranged corresponding to the cutting groove. An aluminum foil winding roller and an aluminum foil unwinding roller are rotatably installed at both ends of the top plate. The aluminum foil winding roller is driven by a motor. The aluminum foil between the aluminum foil winding roller and the aluminum foil unwinding roller passes between the cutting plate and the top plate. A robotic arm is installed on the outside of the heating box, and a top box is mounted on the robotic arm. Several pneumatic branch pipes are installed at the bottom of the top box, and a feeding pipe is installed at the top of the pneumatic branch pipes. A ball valve is installed at the connection between the feeding pipe and the pneumatic branch pipes. A spherical filter frame is installed at the bottom of the pneumatic branch pipes, and several swingable cutting strips are installed on the inner wall of the spherical filter frame. A liftable sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the pneumatic branch pipes, and the inner diameter of the sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the pneumatic branch pipes.

[0006] Furthermore, the top box has a transfer cavity inside, and an air pressure pipe is provided on the outside of the transfer cavity. The air pressure pipe is connected to an external air pressure device and is located at the bottom. A drain pipe is provided at the top of the transfer cavity, and several air pressure branch pipes are connected to the transfer cavity through the main air pressure pipe, with the connection point located at the bottom of the transfer cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the transfer cavity is arranged in a trapezoidal shape.

[0008] Furthermore, a conical hopper is provided at the top of the feeding pipe, and the conical hopper is located above the top box.

[0009] Furthermore, a lifting cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top box, and a lifting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder, with a sleeve fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a stepped section is provided between the spherical filter frame and the pneumatic branch pipe, and the outer diameter of the stepped section is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the cutting strip is connected to the bottom of the spherical filter frame via a spring, and the spring makes the cutting strip fit tightly against the inner wall of the spherical filter frame. Several cutting strips are fitted with collars on their outer sides, and the collars are connected to the sleeve via a transmission rope. The inner wall of the pneumatic branch pipe is provided with a rope hole, and a sealing sleeve is provided inside the rope hole. The transmission rope passes through the sealing sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the sleeve is composed of a lifting part, an elastic part and a sealing part, and the transmission rope is connected to the lifting part. When the lifting part approaches the sealing part, the elastic part expands and bends outward.

[0013] Furthermore, a cutting cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate, and a cutting plate is fixedly installed at the top of the telescopic end of the cutting cylinder.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses an integrated device that can automatically complete the initial cutting, washing, impurity removal, and water filtration processes of peach gum and white fungus in one go for the peach gum and white fungus cooking process, resulting in high cooking efficiency.

[0015] 2. This invention uses a method of cooking with tin foil, which can produce different flavors of peach gum and white fungus desserts in one pot. At the same time, the tin foil wrapping can ensure that the water in the soup does not evaporate easily, keeping the ingredients moist, thus making the soup more moist and rich in taste, and improving the quality of the dessert.

[0016] 3. The present invention, through the setting of the spherical filter frame, enables peach gum and white fungus to automatically separate from the soup after cooking, making the soup clearer and further simplifying the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Example 1, as Figures 1-7As shown, a constant temperature cooking and concentration device for peach gum and tremella includes a heating box 1. The top of the heating box 1 is provided with a top plate 2. Several through holes 22 are opened through the inside of the top plate 2. An elastic scraper 23 is arranged in a ring inside the through holes 22. A cutting groove 21 is opened at the top of the through holes 22. A lifting cutting plate 5 is provided at the top of the top plate 2. Several cutting ring knives 51 are arranged inside the cutting plate 5. The cutting ring knives 51 are arranged corresponding to the cutting groove 21. An aluminum foil winding roller 3 and an aluminum foil unwinding roller 4 are rotatably installed at both ends of the top plate 2. The aluminum foil winding roller 3 is driven by a motor. The aluminum foil between the aluminum foil winding roller 3 and the aluminum foil unwinding roller 4 passes between the cutting plate 5 and the top plate 2. A robotic arm 6 is installed on the outside of the heating box 1. A top box 7 is installed on the robotic arm 6. Several pneumatic branch pipes 81 are installed at the bottom of the top box 7. A feeding pipe 82 is installed at the top of the pneumatic branch pipes 81. A ball valve 83 is installed at the connection between the feeding pipe 82 and the pneumatic branch pipes 81. A spherical filter frame 84 is installed at the bottom of the pneumatic branch pipes 81. Several swingable cutting strips 86 are installed on the inner wall of the spherical filter frame 84. A lifting sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outside of the pneumatic branch pipes 81. The inner diameter of the sleeve 9 is larger than the outer diameter of the pneumatic branch pipes 81.

[0021] Preparation for cooking: Soaked peach gum and white fungus are added to the pneumatic branch pipe 81 through the feeding pipe 82 in a certain proportion. Then, the feeding pipe 82 is closed by controlling the ball valve 83, while air is introduced into the pneumatic branch pipe 81. The airflow blows the soaked peach gum and white fungus into the spherical filter frame 84. Next, the cutting strip 86 is controlled to swing upwards and converge to cut the soaked peach gum and white fungus into smaller pieces. The robotic arm 6 places the spherical filter frame 84 into the heating chamber 1 through the top box 7 for rinsing. Impurities fall through the spherical filter frame 84 into the heating chamber 1, completing the washing and impurity removal process. Subsequently, the robotic arm 6 removes the spherical filter frame 84 from the heating chamber 1 through the top box 7, and air is then introduced into the pneumatic branch pipe 81 to blow the cleaned parts of the peach gum and white fungus pieces out of the spherical filter frame 84, completing the filtration of water.

[0022] Cooking: The motor drives the aluminum foil winding roller 3 to rotate, winding up the aluminum foil. The aluminum foil passes through the hole 22. Then, the cutting plate 5 descends, cutting the aluminum foil through the cutting ring 51 and the cutting groove 21. The aluminum foil above the hole 22 is cut into round pieces. Next, the robotic arm 6 moves, driving the spherical filter frame 84 to descend through the top box 7. The spherical filter frame 84 first passes through the cutting ring 51, then presses the aluminum foil round pieces into the hole 22. Subsequently, the spherical filter frame 84 drives the aluminum foil round pieces through the elastic scraper 23, which tightly wraps the aluminum foil round pieces around the spherical filter frame 84, forming a spherical shape. When the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve completely passes through the elastic scraper 23, the control sleeve 9 descends, pressing the top of the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve tightly against the top of the spherical filter frame 84, ensuring that the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve remains sealed during boiling and will not fall off the spherical filter frame 84. At this time, the ball valve 83 is opened, and the boiling water is added to the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve through the feed pipe 82. Then the ball valve 83 is closed, and the heating box 1 heats the water inside. The spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve is lowered into the water for boiling. After boiling for a period of time, the ball valve 83 is opened again, and rock sugar and other materials are added through the feed pipe 82. During the boiling process, the cutting strip 86 is swung to stir the boiling liquid, ensuring even boiling.

[0023] Feeding: After the cooking is completed, the robotic arm 6 moves the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve to the heating box 1 and to the designated feeding position. This invention does not restrict the feeding; it can be done manually or automatically. Simply place the packaging bowl at the feeding position, and the robotic arm 6 will insert the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve into the packaging bowl. Then, the sleeve 9 will be raised, and the top opening of the sleeve 9 will be opened. The gravity of the cooking liquid inside the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve is much greater than the wrapping force of the aluminum foil. Therefore, when the robotic arm 6 raises the spherical filter frame 84, the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve will automatically separate from the spherical filter frame 84. The peach gum and tremella are located in the spherical filter frame 84 and separated from the cooking liquid, making the soup clearer.

[0024] In summary, the equipment of this invention can automatically complete the cooking process of peach gum and white fungus, greatly improving cooking efficiency. Simultaneously, using the washing water for water bath heating improves water resource utilization.

[0025] In embodiment two, based on the above embodiment, the following is also included: a transfer cavity 71 is provided inside the top box 7, and an air pressure pipe 72 is provided on the outside of the transfer cavity 71. The air pressure pipe 72 is connected to an external air pressure device and is located at the bottom. A drain pipe 73 is provided at the top of the transfer cavity 71, and several air pressure branch pipes 81 are connected to the transfer cavity 71 through the main air pressure pipe 8, and the connection is located at the bottom of the transfer cavity 71.

[0026] The transfer cavity 71 is trapezoidal in shape, which facilitates centralized slag discharge.

[0027] With the setup of this embodiment, gas can be centrally introduced through the transfer cavity 71 and the air pressure main pipe 8, which is simple to control. After the material is unloaded, the robotic arm 6 drives the top box 7 to flip, so that the spherical filter frame 84 faces upward. The peach gum and tremella in the spherical filter frame 84 slide down under the action of gravity, and the air pressure pipe 72 creates a negative pressure inside the transfer cavity 71. The material is sucked into the transfer cavity 71 through the air pressure branch pipe 81 and the air pressure main pipe 8. Finally, the drain pipe 73 is opened to realize automatic slag discharge.

[0028] In embodiment three, based on the above embodiments, a conical hopper is provided at the top of the feeding pipe 82, and the conical hopper is located above the top box 7 for convenient feeding.

[0029] Example 4, based on the above examples, further includes a lifting cylinder 74 fixedly installed at the bottom of the top box 7, a lifting plate 75 fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 74, and a sleeve 9 fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 75.

[0030] The cutting strip 86 is connected to the bottom of the spherical filter frame 84 via a spring, and the spring makes the cutting strip 86 fit tightly against the inner wall of the spherical filter frame 84. A collar 87 is sleeved on the outer side of several cutting strips 86. The collar 87 is connected to the sleeve 9 via a transmission rope 88. A rope hole is opened through the inner wall of the pneumatic branch pipe 81. A sealing sleeve is provided inside the rope hole. The transmission rope 88 passes through the sealing sleeve.

[0031] The sleeve 9 is composed of a lifting part 91, an elastic part 92 and a sealing part 93. The transmission rope 88 is connected to the lifting part 91. When the lifting part 91 approaches the sealing part 93, the elastic part 92 expands and bends outward.

[0032] When storing the soaked peach gum and white fungus, the lifting cylinder 74 drives the lifting plate 75 to descend, and the lifting plate 75 drives the sleeve 9 to descend. The sealing part 93 presses on the spherical filter frame 84, and the sleeve 9 loosens the transmission rope 88. The cutting strip 86 adheres tightly to the inner wall of the spherical filter frame 84 under the action of the spring. The cutting strip 86 drives the collar 87 to descend, and the soaked peach gum and white fungus can fall smoothly into the cutting strip 86. Then, the lifting cylinder 74 drives the lifting plate 75 to rise, and the lifting plate 75 drives the sleeve 9 to rise. The sleeve 9 drives the collar 87 to rise through the transmission rope 88. The collar 87 causes the cutting strip 86 to come together inward. Several cutting strips 86 come together to cut the soaked peach gum and white fungus.

[0033] After the spherical aluminum foil bowl is formed, the lifting cylinder 74 drives the lifting plate 75 to descend, and the lifting plate 75 drives the sleeve 9 to descend. The sealing part 93 presses on the spherical filter frame 84, tightly clamping and sealing the opening of the spherical aluminum foil bowl. Due to the obstruction of the opening of the spherical aluminum foil bowl, the cutting strip 86 has a certain gap with the inner wall of the spherical filter frame 84 under the action of the spring sheet, and does not completely fit the spherical filter frame 84. Subsequently, during the boiling process, the lifting cylinder 74 drives the lifting plate 75 to descend, and the lifting plate 75 drives the lifting part 91 to descend relative to the sealing part 93. The elastic part 92 expands and bends outward, and the transmission rope 88 continues to relax. The cutting strip 86 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the spherical filter frame 84 under the action of the spring sheet. Therefore, during the boiling process, by controlling the up and down sliding of the lifting plate 75, the cutting strip 86 can be controlled to swing in the spherical filter frame 84 to stir the boiling liquid and improve the boiling uniformity.

[0034] Example 5, based on the above examples, further includes a stepped portion 85 provided between the spherical filter frame 84 and the pneumatic branch pipe 81. The outer diameter of the stepped portion 85 is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve 9. The stepped portion 85 can improve the sealing effect of the spherical aluminum foil bowl sleeve. When sealing, there is a sufficient distance between the sealing portion 93 and the spherical filter frame 84, which increases the reciprocating swing angle of the cutting strip 86, so that the cutting strip 86 can produce a sufficient stirring effect.

[0035] Example 6, based on the above examples, further includes a cutting cylinder 24 fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 2, and a cutting plate 5 fixedly installed at the top of the telescopic end of the cutting cylinder 24. By controlling the cutting cylinder 24, the cutting plate 5 can be controlled to rise and fall relative to the top plate 2. The connection between the cutting cylinder 24 and the cutting plate 5 is located at the edge and outside the aluminum foil, so it will not affect the passage of the aluminum foil.

[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
