Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of poria cocos cooking, in particular to a poria cocos cooking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Poria cocos is a dry sclerotium of Poria cocos, which is parasitic on the roots of Pinaceae plants such as Pinus densata or Pinus massoniana. Poria cocos is round or irregular in shape, smooth in surface, and brittle and hard in texture. It has the effects of invigorating the spleen, promoting water excretion, calming the nerves, and benefiting qi. In the process of processing poria cocos into medicinal materials, the main steps include sweating, washing, cooking, cutting, drying, and packaging. After cooking, the properties of poria cocos become soft, and the cooked poria cocos has better effects than raw poria cocos.

[0003] For example, a patent with the name of "Poria cocos processing and cooking device" and the publication number CN217311174U was published on August 30, 2022. The patent includes a box, the inner bottom of which is fixedly connected with a steam generator. Its feature is that the outer wall of the box is fixedly connected with a driving motor through bolts, and the inner side of the box is slidingly connected with a filter plate. The top of the filter plate is rotatably connected with a bearing rod, and one end of the bearing rod is penetratingly connected with the output shaft of the driving motor. A bearing cylinder is sleeved on the part of the bearing rod inside the box, and a gas permeable plate is fixedly connected with the outer side of the bearing cylinder. Rotating rods are rotatably connected with the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the bearing cylinder, and a plurality of stirring rods are fixedly connected with the rotating rods. The patent uses steam to cook poria cocos in the bearing cylinder, and starts the driving motor to drive the bearing cylinder on the bearing rod to rotate, so that the poria cocos in the bearing cylinder can roll, and the stirring rods on the rotating rods can make the poria cocos more evenly distributed. The bearing cylinder and its components can make the poria cocos more evenly heated during cooking, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven cooking of the whole poria cocos in a certain period of time.

[0004] When traditional equipment is used to cook poria cocos, the poria cocos is prone to accumulate or unevenly distribute, resulting in insufficient steam contact in some areas, making it difficult for the steam to penetrate locally during subsequent cooking, and causing uneven cooking and inconsistent doneness. Moreover, the steam injection path of traditional equipment is single, and a large amount of heat escapes with the steam or is directly discharged with the condensate water, without heat recovery, resulting in serious energy waste and high cooking cost. In addition, the poria cocos is static and accumulates or does not roll during cooking, causing internal steam flow to be blocked, prolonging the cooking period, and possibly causing overcooking or undercooking, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0010] The outer side of the turnover plate is provided with a deformation protection layer.

[0011] As described above, the feeding assembly further includes a blocking mechanism, which is located at the end of the conveyor belt and inside the insulation box. The blocking mechanism includes a blocking plate, which is rotatably disposed inside the insulation box. A plurality of arc-shaped rods are evenly arranged along the length of one side of the blocking plate. The arc-shaped rods are slidably disposed on the insulation box. A buffer spring is sleeved on the outer side of each arc-shaped rod, and the buffer spring is located inside the insulation box.

[0012] The aforementioned barrier mechanism further includes a baffle plate, which is rotatably disposed on the outside of the insulation box. The end of the arc-shaped plate away from the barrier plate is attached to the baffle plate. The side of the baffle plate away from the arc-shaped plate and the outside of the insulation box are both rotatably provided with threaded rods, and the threads on the two threaded rods are arranged in opposite directions.

[0013] As mentioned above, the spiral blades are uniformly provided with multiple horizontal stripes.

[0014] As described above, the steam injection mechanism includes a steam pipe, on which a plurality of nozzles are evenly arranged along its length.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention generates high-temperature steam through a steam generator and sprays it upward from the bottom of the cooking tank through a bottom steam nozzle. At the same time, a steam injection mechanism evenly distributed around the circumference injects steam from the side, forming a three-dimensional steam envelope in the top, bottom and circumference. The three-dimensional steam injection allows Poria cocos to come into full contact with high-temperature steam, greatly improving the uniformity of cooking and avoiding local undercooking or overcooking. After the steam comes into contact with Poria cocos, it condenses into water and flows back to the condensate collection unit through a pipe. After treatment, it can be supplied to the steam generator for recycling, realizing heat recovery and reducing energy waste. This invention uses a hopper to feed Poria cocos in batches. A conveyor belt transports the Poria cocos into a heat preservation box at a uniform speed. A turning mechanism above the conveyor belt turns and breaks up the stacked Poria cocos in real time, so that the Poria cocos enters the cooking tank in a loose and uniform state, avoiding stacking and ensuring that each Poria cocos can directly contact the steam after entering the cooking tank. This ensures the uniformity of cooking from the source. At the same time, the heat preservation box maintains an internal preheating environment, reducing the temperature difference after the Poria cocos enters the cooking tank. The steam rising from the cooking tank to the heat preservation box preheats the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt, shortening the heating time of the Poria cocos and improving the overall cooking efficiency while reducing the heat loss in the cooking tank. This invention uses spiral blades inside the cooking tank to continuously transport Poria cocos. The spiral blades work in conjunction with the three-dimensional steam jet to allow the Poria cocos to constantly change position during the cooking process, ensuring full contact with the steam. At the same time, the spiral blades extend the residence time of the Poria cocos in the cooking tank, resulting in more even heating and significantly improving the consistency of the finished product quality, thus avoiding substandard products that are undercooked or overcooked.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "side", "inner", "outer", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Poria cocos steaming and cooking device, including a base 1, a steam generator 2 disposed on one side of the base 1, and a condensate collection unit 3 disposed on the other side of the base 1. The steam generator 2 and the condensate collection unit 3 are connected to each other, and the device also includes: Feeding assembly 4 is located directly above base 1. Feeding assembly 4 includes a heat preservation box 40. A hopper 41 is provided on one side of the upper end of the heat preservation box 40. A conveyor belt 42 is provided on the upper side of the inside of the heat preservation box 40. A turning mechanism 43 is provided above the conveyor belt 42. The turning mechanism 43 turns over the Poria cocos passing below the turning mechanism 43 when the conveyor belt 42 conveys Poria cocos. The cooking assembly 5 is located directly below the feeding assembly 4 and above the base 1. The cooking assembly 5 includes a cooking tank 50. A mounting shaft 51 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the cooking tank 50. Spiral blades 52 are mounted on the mounting shaft 51. Several steam injection mechanisms 53 are evenly arranged around the inside of the cooking tank 50. A steam nozzle 54 is provided at the bottom inner side of the cooking tank 50. The steam injection mechanisms 53 and the steam nozzle 54 are all connected to the steam generator 2.

[0023] In another embodiment of the present invention, the heat preservation box 40 has a double-layer heat insulation structure, the upper end of the heat preservation box 40 is arranged at an inclination, and a collection groove 400 is provided at the low point of the upper end of the heat preservation box 40. The collection groove 400 is connected to the condensate collection unit 3 through a pipe. The specific implementation method is as follows: When steaming Poria cocos, Poria cocos is put into the hopper 41 and the hopper 41 is sealed. At the same time, steam is generated by the steam generator 2 and transported to the steam injection mechanism 53 and steam nozzle 54 through the pipeline. In this way, when the Poria cocos falling from the hopper 41 is transported on the conveyor belt 42, the high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam injection mechanism 53 and steam nozzle 54 can pre-cook the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42, so as to preheat it during the feeding stage, increase the temperature of the Poria cocos at the time of feeding, and the conveyor belt 42 transports the Poria cocos. During the pre-cooking process, the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42 is flipped by the flipping mechanism 43 to prevent it from sticking to the conveyor belt 42. Simultaneously, the flipping mechanism 43 ensures even heating of the Poria cocos. After pre-cooking, the Poria cocos continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 42, causing it to fall off and, guided by the heat preservation box 40, into the cooking tank 50. The Poria cocos then lands on the spiral blades 52 in the middle of the cooking tank 50, allowing it to spiral down the cooking tank 50 under the guidance of the spiral blades 52, thus extending its cooling process. During the time it takes for the long Poria cocos to fall along the cooking tank 50, and when the pre-cooked Poria cocos falls along the spiral blades 52, the steam generated by the steam generator 2 is sprayed out from the side and bottom of the cooking tank 50 through the steam injection mechanism 53 and the steam nozzle 54, respectively, so that the falling Poria cocos can be fully cooked; in addition, when the high-temperature steam sprayed from the steam injection mechanism 53 and the steam nozzle 54 pre-cooks the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42, the double-layer heat-insulating box 40 can maintain the temperature of the steam as much as possible, and the high-temperature steam after pre-cooking the Poria cocos comes into contact with the heat-insulating box 40. The upper end of the insulated box 40 is where condensation occurs. The condensed water flows through the inclined insulated box 40 and is collected in the collection tank 400. The water generated by the steam is then transported through a pipe to the condensate collection unit 3. After collecting the condensate, the condensate collection unit 3 sends it to the steam generator 2, so that the condensate collected by the condensate collection unit 3 enters the steam generator 2. At this time, the residual temperature of the condensate collected by the condensate collection unit 3 is still relatively high, so that less energy is used to generate steam after the condensate enters the steam generator 2, thus saving energy.

[0024] In another embodiment of the present invention, the conveyor belt 42 has a hollow structure, and a steam preheating pipe 420 is provided in the middle of the conveyor belt 42. The steam preheating pipe 420 is provided with a plurality of holes evenly distributed on it. The specific implementation method is as follows: When Poria cocos falls from the hopper 41 to the conveyor belt 42, the conveyor belt 42 can transport the Poria cocos that have fallen on it. At this time, the steam generated by the steam generator 2 can enter the steam preheating pipe 420, and the steam can be sprayed from the holes on the steam preheating pipe 420 to the conveyor belt 42. The steam finally contacts the Poria cocos on it through the perforated conveyor belt 42 so that the steam can pre-cook the Poria cocos.

[0025] In another embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism 43 includes a rotating shaft 430, and a plurality of flipping plates 431 are evenly arranged around the outer side of the rotating shaft 430. A mounting block 432 is respectively provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 430 through bearings. The mounting block 432 is slidably disposed inside the heat preservation box 40. A mounting spring 433 is provided between the mounting block 432 and the heat preservation box 40. One end of the rotating shaft 430 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 434 through a coupling. The other end of the drive motor 434 is provided with a guide block, which is slidably disposed inside the heat preservation box 40. The specific implementation method is as follows: When the conveyor belt 42 conveys Poria cocos, the steam sprayed from the holes of the steam preheating pipe 420 can pre-cook the Poria cocos. During the pre-cooking process, the drive motor 434 drives the rotating shaft 430 to rotate, which in turn drives the tilting plate 431 to rotate synchronously. This allows the rotating tilting plate 431 to flip the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42, reducing or even preventing the Poria cocos from sticking to the conveyor belt 42 during pre-cooking. The flipping of the Poria cocos also ensures that the pre-cooked Poria cocos is heated more evenly. In addition, the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42 vary in size. When encountering a larger Poria cocos, the drive motor 434 drives the rotating shaft 430 to rotate the tilting plate 431. During rotation, the Poria cocos presses against the flipping plate 431, causing the flipping plate 431 to move upward via the rotating shaft 430, which in turn drives the two mounting blocks 432 at both ends to press against the mounting springs 433. This allows the rotating shaft 430 and the flipping plate 431 to make way for the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42, preventing the rotating plate 431 from damaging the Poria cocos during pre-cooking. When the flipping plate 431 and the rotating shaft 430 move upward via the mounting plates to press against the mounting springs 433, the rotating shaft 430 drives the drive motor 434 to move upward synchronously to make way. When the drive motor 434 moves, it is guided and limited by the guide block to ensure that the drive motor 434 can still drive the rotating shaft 430 and the flipping plate 431 to rotate normally when it moves up and down.

[0026] In another embodiment of the present invention, a deformation protection layer 4310 is provided on the outer side of the flip plate 431; The specific implementation method is as follows: When the drive motor 434 drives the flipping plate 431 to rotate through the rotating shaft 430, the rotated flipping plate 431 can flip the Poria cocos conveyed on the conveyor belt 42. When the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42 is flipped, the deformation protection layer 4310 on the outer side of the flipping plate 431 is squeezed and deformed, so as to protect the integrity of the Poria cocos during the flipping and avoid damage to the Poria cocos during the pre-cooking process.

[0027] In another embodiment of the present invention, the feeding assembly 4 further includes a blocking mechanism 44, which is located at the end of the conveyor belt 42 and is disposed inside the heat preservation box 40. The blocking mechanism 44 includes a blocking plate 440, which is rotatably disposed inside the heat preservation box 40. A plurality of arc-shaped rods 441 are uniformly disposed along the length of one side of the blocking plate 440. The arc-shaped rods 441 are slidably disposed on the heat preservation box 40. A buffer spring 442 is sleeved on the outer side of each arc-shaped rod 441, and the buffer spring 442 is located inside the heat preservation box 40. The specific implementation method is as follows: After pre-cooking, the Poria cocos continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 42. When the conveyor belt 42 conveys the Poria cocos to its end, the Poria cocos falls off the conveyor belt 42. The insulated box 40 guides the falling Poria cocos so that it moves towards the cooking tank 50. While the insulated box 40 guides the Poria cocos falling from the conveyor belt 42, the blocking mechanism 44 slows down the falling speed of the Poria cocos, controlling the number of Poria cocos entering the cooking tank 50. Specifically, when the Poria cocos falls from the conveyor belt 42 and moves along the inner wall of the insulated box 40, the blocking plate 440 blocks the falling Poria cocos to prevent the falling Poria cocos from falling into the cooking tank 50 at the same time. The fallen Poria cocos accumulates at the baffle plate 440. The Poria cocos, by their own weight, compresses the baffle plate 440, causing the baffle plate 440 to compress the buffer spring 442 and drive the arc rod 441 to rotate along the heat preservation box 40. At this time, the accumulated Poria cocos can pass over the baffle plate 440 and fall, thus causing the Poria cocos to fall into the cooking tank 50. As the Poria cocos falls into the cooking tank 50, the buffer spring 442 drives the baffle plate 440 and the arc rod 441 to rotate in opposite directions and reset, so that the baffle plate 440 continues to block the falling Poria cocos, so that the baffle plate 440 controls the falling speed of the Poria cocos and prevents the Poria cocos from falling into the cooking tank 50 at the same time, ensuring that the Poria cocos entering the cooking tank 50 can be fully cooked.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, the barrier mechanism 44 further includes a baffle 443, which is rotatably disposed on the outside of the heat preservation box 40, and the end of the arc plate away from the barrier plate 440 is attached to the baffle 443. The side of the baffle 443 away from the arc plate and the outside of the heat preservation box 40 are both rotatably provided with threaded rods 444, and the threads on the two threaded rods 444 are arranged oppositely. The two threaded rods 444 are connected by a threaded sleeve 445. The specific implementation method is as follows: When the baffle plate 440 blocks the falling Poria cocos, the end of the arc-shaped rod 441 is blocked by the baffle plate 443, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the baffle plate 440 by the arc-shaped rod 441 and the baffle plate 443. This allows the baffle plate 440 to adjust the approximate number of Poria cocos falling by adjusting the rotation angle. Specifically, by rotating the threaded sleeve 445, the threaded sleeve 445 drives the two threaded rods 444 to move closer to each other. At this time, the total length of the two threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 decreases, causing the threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 to drive the baffle plate 443 away from the arc-shaped rod 441. The rotation allows the baffle plate 440 and the arc plate to rotate at a larger angle, allowing more Poria cocos to fall over the baffle plate 440 into the cooking tank 50. By rotating the threaded sleeve 445 in the opposite direction, the threaded sleeve 445 drives the two threaded rods 444 away from each other. At this time, the total length of the two threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 increases, causing the threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 to drive the baffle plate 443 to rotate closer to the arc rod 441. This reduces the angle of rotation of the baffle plate 440 and the arc plate, thereby reducing the number of Poria cocos that can pass over the baffle plate 440.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of transverse strips 520 are uniformly arranged on the spiral blade 52; The specific implementation method is as follows: When Poria cocos falls into the cooking tank 50 after passing over the baffle plate 440, it lands on the spiral blade 52 and spirals down along the spiral blade 52. At this time, the horizontal bar 520 on the spiral blade 52 slows down the falling speed of the Poria cocos so as to prolong the time that the Poria cocos stays on the spiral blade 52. This allows the steam injection mechanism 53 and the steam nozzle 54 to spray steam from the side and bottom onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52. The multi-directional direct injection of steam can ensure that the Poria cocos is fully cooked.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, the steam injection mechanism 53 includes a steam pipe 530, and a plurality of nozzles 531 are uniformly arranged on the steam pipe 530 along its length direction. The nozzles 531 are installed and connected to the steam pipe 530 by ball joints. The nozzles 531 are connected to each other by an adjusting plate 532, and a rubber ring 533 is provided between the adjusting plate 532 and the nozzles 531. The adjusting plate 532 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the cooking tank 50. The lower end of the adjusting plate 532 is connected to the extended end of the electric push rod 534. The electric push rod 534 is arranged on the lower side of the outer end of the cooking tank 50. The specific implementation method is as follows: the steam generator 2 sends steam to the steam pipe 530 and sprays the steam onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52 through the nozzle 531. The electric push rod 534 drives the adjusting plate 532 to move vertically up and down along the cooking tank 50, thereby causing the adjusting plate 532 to drive the nozzle 531 on it to swing up and down, so that the nozzle 531 sprays the steam evenly onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52, ensuring that the Poria cocos is cooked evenly. The rubber ring 533 facilitates the rotation of the nozzle 531 on the adjusting plate 532 and avoids the nozzle 531 from getting stuck with the adjusting plate 532.

[0031] Furthermore, the lower end of the mounting shaft 51 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 510, which is mounted on the base 1. Thus, when the Poria cocos descends along the spiral blade 52 under its own gravity, the rotary motor 510 drives the spiral blade 52 to rotate in the opposite direction of the Poria cocos' spiral descent. This ensures that the spiral blade 52 extends the time the Poria cocos stays on the spiral blade 52 while ensuring its descent, thereby allowing the Poria cocos to be fully cooked for a sufficient period of time.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, a discharge port 500 is provided at the lower end of the cooking tank 50, and a gate 501 is provided at the discharge port 500. The gate 501 is slidably disposed inside the cooking tank 50. The specific implementation method is as follows: After the Poria cocos is steamed and falls to the bottom of the steaming tank 50, the gate 501 is pushed upward to release the seal of the gate 501 on the discharge port 500, so that the steamed Poria cocos is discharged from the steaming tank 50. The rotating motor 510 drives the spiral blade 52 to rotate, so that the spiral blade 52 drives the Poria cocos at the bottom of the steaming tank 50 to rotate, so as to transport the Poria cocos at the bottom of the steaming tank 50 to the discharge port 500, which facilitates the discharge of the steamed Poria cocos.

[0033] Working principle: During the steaming and cooking of Poria cocos, Poria cocos is placed into hopper 41 and sealed. Simultaneously, steam is generated by steam generator 2 and transported through pipes to steam injection mechanism 53 and steam nozzle 54. Thus, as the Poria cocos falling from hopper 41 is conveyed on conveyor belt 42, the high-temperature steam from steam injection mechanism 53 and steam nozzle 54 pre-cooks the Poria cocos on conveyor belt 42, preheating it during the feeding stage and increasing its temperature. Furthermore, as the conveyor belt 42 transports the Poria cocos, a turning mechanism 43 turns it over, preventing the pre-cooked Poria cocos from sticking to the conveyor belt 42. The turning mechanism 43 also helps to maintain the Poria cocos's temperature during the turning process. To ensure uniform heating of Poria cocos, when it falls from hopper 41 onto conveyor belt 42, the conveyor belt 42 transports the Poria cocos that have fallen onto it. At this time, the steam generated by steam generator 2 can enter steam preheating pipe 420, and the steam can be sprayed from the holes on the steam preheating pipe 420 onto the conveyor belt 42. The steam finally contacts the Poria cocos on the perforated conveyor belt 42 so that the steam can pre-cook the Poria cocos. When the conveyor belt 42 transports the Poria cocos, the steam sprayed from the holes on the steam preheating pipe 420 can pre-cook the Poria cocos. When the Poria cocos is pre-cooked, the drive motor 434 drives the rotating shaft 430 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 430 drives the tilting plate 431 to rotate synchronously, so that the rotated tilting plate 431 can pre-cook the Poria cocos. The Poria cocos on conveyor belt 42 is tumbled to reduce or even prevent it from sticking to the conveyor belt 42 during pre-cooking. Tumbling also ensures more even heating of the pre-cooked Poria cocos. Furthermore, the Poria cocos on conveyor belt 42 vary in size. When encountering a larger Poria cocos, the drive motor 434 rotates the turning plate 431 via the shaft 430. The Poria cocos presses against the turning plate 431, causing it to move upwards via the shaft 430 and the two mounting blocks 432 at both ends, compressing the mounting springs 433. This allows the shaft 430 and the turning plate 431 to make way for the Poria cocos on conveyor belt 42, preventing damage to the pre-cooked Poria cocos after rotation. The turning plate 431 and the shaft 430 are connected via... When the spring 433 of the loading plate is pressed and moved upward, the rotating shaft 430 drives the drive motor 434 to move upward synchronously to make way. When the drive motor 434 moves, it is guided and limited by the guide block to ensure that the drive motor 434 can still drive the rotating shaft 430 and the flipping plate 431 to rotate normally when the drive motor 434 moves up and down. When the drive motor 434 drives the flipping plate 431 to rotate through the rotating shaft 430, the rotated flipping plate 431 can flip the Poria cocos conveyed on the conveyor belt 42. When the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42 is flipped, the deformation protection layer 4310 on the outside of the flipping plate 431 is compressed and deformed to protect the integrity of the Poria cocos during the flipping and avoid damage to the Poria cocos during pre-cooking. After pre-cooking, the Poria cocos continues to be conveyed by conveyor belt 42. When the conveyor belt 42 reaches its end, the Poria cocos falls off the conveyor belt 42 and is guided by the insulation box 40 so that it moves towards the cooking tank 50. While the insulation box 40 is guiding the Poria cocos falling from the conveyor belt 42, the falling speed of the Poria cocos is slowed down by the blocking mechanism 44 to control the number of Poria cocos entering the cooking tank 50. Specifically, when the Poria cocos falls from the conveyor belt 42 and moves along the inner wall of the insulation box 40, the blocking plate 440 blocks the falling Poria cocos to prevent multiple Poria cocos from falling into the cooking tank 50 at the same time. Inside the steaming tank 50, as the Poria cocos falls and accumulates at the baffle plate 440, its own weight compresses the baffle plate 440, causing it to compress the buffer spring 442 and drive the arc rod 441 to rotate along the insulation box 40. At this point, the accumulated Poria cocos can pass over the baffle plate 440 and fall into the steaming tank 50. As the Poria cocos falls into the steaming tank 50, the buffer spring 442 drives the baffle plate 440 and the arc rod 441 to rotate in opposite directions and reset, allowing the baffle plate 440 to continue to block the falling Poria cocos. This controls the falling speed of the Poria cocos and prevents them from falling into the steaming tank simultaneously. Inside the cooking tank 50, the Poria cocos entering the tank is ensured to be fully cooked. When the baffle plate 440 blocks falling Poria cocos, the end of the arc-shaped rod 441 is blocked by the baffle plate 443, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the baffle plate 440 so that the approximate amount of Poria cocos falling can be adjusted by the rotation angle. Specifically, by rotating the threaded sleeve 445, the threaded sleeve 445 drives the two threaded rods 444 to move closer to each other. At this time, the total length of the two threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 decreases, causing the threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 to drive the baffle plate 443 away. The arc rod 441 rotates in the direction that allows the baffle plate 440 and the arc plate to rotate at a larger angle, thereby allowing more Poria cocos to fall over the baffle plate 440 into the cooking tank 50. By rotating the threaded sleeve 445 in the opposite direction, the threaded sleeve 445 drives the two threaded rods 444 away from each other. At this time, the total length of the two threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 increases, causing the threaded rods 444 and the threaded sleeve 445 to drive the baffle plate 443 to rotate closer to the arc rod 441, thereby reducing the angle of rotation of the baffle plate 440 and the arc plate, and thus reducing the number of Poria cocos that can cross the baffle plate 440. Poria cocos falls onto the spiral blades 52 in the middle of the cooking tank 50, thus guiding it down the tank in a spiral motion to prolong its descent. As the pre-cooked Poria cocos falls along the spiral blades 52, steam generated by the steam generator 2 is ejected from the side and bottom of the cooking tank 50 via the steam injection mechanism 53 and steam nozzle 54, ensuring thorough cooking of the falling Poria cocos. The steam generator 2 directs steam to the steam pipe 530 and sprays it onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blades 52 through nozzles 531. An electric push rod 534 drives the adjusting plate 532 to move vertically up and down along the cooking tank 50, causing the nozzles 531 to swing up and down, evenly spraying steam onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blades 52, ensuring uniform cooking. A rubber ring 533 facilitates the rotation of the nozzles 531 on the adjusting plate 532, preventing the nozzles 531 from colliding with the adjusting plate 532. There is a jamming situation between 2; and the lower end of the mounting shaft 51 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 510, which is mounted on the base 1. In this way, when the Poria cocos falls down along the spiral blade 52 by its own gravity, the rotary motor 510 drives the spiral blade 52 to rotate in the opposite direction of the spiral descent of the Poria cocos. This ensures that the Poria cocos descends while extending the residence time of the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52, so that the Poria cocos has enough time to be fully cooked. In addition, when the Poria cocos falls into the cooking tank 50 after passing the baffle plate 440, it lands on the spiral blade 52 and spirals down along the spiral blade 52. At this time, the horizontal bar 520 on the spiral blade 52 slows down the falling speed of the Poria cocos in order to extend the residence time of the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52. This allows the steam injection mechanism 53 and the steam nozzle 54 to spray steam from the side and bottom onto the Poria cocos on the spiral blade 52. The multi-directional direct injection of steam can ensure that the Poria cocos is fully cooked. Meanwhile, when the high-temperature steam ejected from the steam injection mechanism 53 and the steam nozzle 54 pre-cooks the Poria cocos on the conveyor belt 42, the double-layer heat-insulating box 40 can maintain the temperature of the steam as much as possible. The high-temperature steam after pre-cooking the Poria cocos comes into contact with the upper end of the heat-insulating box 40 and condenses there. The water generated by condensation is collected in the collection tank 400 through the inclined heat-insulating box 40, and then transported to the condensate collection unit 3 through the pipeline. After collecting the condensate, the condensate collection unit 3 is transported to the steam generator 2, so that the condensate collected by the condensate collection unit 3 enters the steam generator 2. At this time, the residual temperature of the condensate collected by the condensate collection unit 3 is still relatively high, so that less energy is used to generate steam after the condensate enters the steam generator 2, thus saving energy. After the Poria cocos is steamed and falls to the bottom of the steaming tank 50, the gate 501 is pushed upwards to release the seal on the discharge port 500, allowing the steamed Poria cocos to be discharged from the steaming tank 50. The rotating motor 510 drives the spiral blades 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the Poria cocos at the bottom of the steaming tank 50 to rotate, so as to transport the Poria cocos at the bottom of the steaming tank 50 to the discharge port 500 for easy discharge after steaming.
