Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fish maw processing technology, and more specifically, to a steaming and deodorizing device for processing fish maw and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Fish maw, or dried fish bladder, is rich in collagen and is a traditional high-end nourishing food. In the industrial production of ready-to-eat fish maw products, steaming is a key pre-processing step. Its main purpose is to denature proteins through high-temperature heating and volatilize and remove fishy-smelling substances. Currently, the industry generally uses steamers or jacketed kettles to heat-treat soaked fish maw. A typical process involves placing the fish maw statically in the steaming equipment for constant-temperature steam treatment, and then moving it to room temperature or a cooling room for natural cooling in preparation for subsequent processing.

[0003] However, this traditional steaming and boiling method for removing fishy smell still has significant defects in actual mass production. Due to the uneven steam flow inside the existing equipment and the limitations of the static placement of fish maw, the fish maw in different locations is heated to an inconsistent degree. Some areas of fish maw are not thoroughly deodorized due to insufficient heating, while other areas suffer from damage to the collagen network structure and softening of the texture due to prolonged local overheating. This significantly increases the risk of "watering" during the subsequent high-temperature sterilization process—that is, textural collapse—seriously affecting product quality.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This solution, through the design of a limiting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a storage mechanism, allows the tray to circulate along a ring chain plate under the guidance of a ring limiting frame, and the rotating mechanism to drive the tray to rotate synchronously. This enables dynamic adjustment of the spatial position and orientation of the fish maw during steaming, allowing the fish maw from different areas to enter the steam-rich zone sequentially and be exposed to different surfaces of the steam environment alternately. This effectively solves the problem of uneven heating, improves the uniformity of deodorization, avoids collagen damage caused by local overheating, significantly reduces the risk of "watering" during subsequent high-temperature sterilization, and ensures the stability of product texture and overall quality.

[0017] By setting up an expandable automatic cleaning assembly consisting of a No. 3 servo motor, a rotating rod, a hydraulic rod, and a folding scraper, the No. 3 servo motor drives rotational positioning, and the hydraulic system pushes the slide to unfold the scraper and fit it against the bottom of the tray. Then, through synchronous rotation, the scraping operation is completed. This achieves the active, efficient, and thorough removal of condensate from the bottom of the tray. This process is completed automatically without stopping the machine, effectively avoiding the problem of condensate accumulating and submerging the fish maw or dripping and causing localized "boiling". It significantly improves the heating uniformity and texture consistency of the fish maw, ensuring product quality stability, while also improving production continuity and automation efficiency.

[0018] By setting up an adjustment mechanism, a first water collection mechanism, and a second water collection mechanism, the tilt angle of the first and second folding water collection boxes is adjusted by a belt drive driven by a servo motor No. 4. A servo motor No. 5 drives a bidirectional threaded rod to push the first and second ball bearing nut seats to achieve horizontal movement. Simultaneously, the first and second electric telescopic rods are controlled to unfold the first and second folding water collection boxes in a coordinated operation. This process achieves precise guidance and active and efficient collection of splashed condensate during the scraping process. This process ensures that wastewater is promptly and completely introduced into the water collection box and discharged outside the equipment, effectively avoiding the risk of water splashing, dripping and contaminating the fish maw, and cross-contamination caused by internal water accumulation. It significantly improves the hygiene and safety of the production process and the stability of product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0022] As shown in the figure, specific structures and devices are marked in the figure to clearly illustrate the structure of the embodiments of the present invention. However, this is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention to this specific structure, device and environment. Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, a steaming and deodorizing device for processing fish maw and its usage method provided by the present invention. It should also be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a steaming and deodorizing device for processing fish maw and its usage method, including a steaming cabinet 1, a steam generator 2 installed at the bottom of the steaming cabinet 1, and a base plate 3 fixedly connected inside the steaming cabinet 1. A storage rack 5 is provided on the inner wall of the steaming cabinet 1, and a base 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage rack 5. The storage rack 5 is provided with a plurality of storage mechanisms 8 for holding fish maw, and the storage mechanism 8 includes a tray 81 for holding fish maw. A limiting mechanism 6 for supporting the storage mechanism 8 is provided on the front and rear sides of the inside of the storage rack 5, and a rotating mechanism 7 for cooperating with the limiting mechanism 6 is provided in the middle of the inside of the storage rack 5 to assist in supporting the rotation of the tray 81 and adjusting its position. The limiting mechanism 6 includes an annular limiting frame 62 disposed on the front and rear sides of the placement frame 5. Both sides of the outer surface of the annular limiting frame 62 are provided with fixing plates 61 that are fixedly connected to the placement frame 5. The annular chain plate 63 is rotatably connected inside the annular limiting frame 62. The middle of the front and rear sides of the placement frame 5 is fixedly connected with a vertical plate 64. The upper and lower ends of the vertical plate 64 are provided with a driving component for driving the annular chain plate 63 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 7 and the drive assembly drive the tray 81 to rotate around the inner side of the annular limit frame 62, so as to further adjust the tray 81 at different positions to make corresponding displacements.

[0025] To address the problems of uneven heating caused by uneven steam flow and static placement of fish maw in existing equipment, resulting in incomplete removal of fishy odor and localized overheating, which can easily damage collagen and cause "watering" during high-temperature sterilization, severely affecting product texture and quality, the above-mentioned technical solution is adopted. This solution mainly consists of a limiting mechanism 6, a rotating mechanism 7, and a storage mechanism 8. During the processing of fish maw, the operator first evenly places the soaked fish maw into the tray 81 of the storage mechanism 8. The perforations at the bottom of the tray 81 ensure steam can pass through. After loading, the entire placement rack 5 is pushed into the steaming cabinet 1 via its base 4, and the cabinet door is closed, forming a sealed processing space. Then, the steam generator 2 located at the bottom of the steaming cabinet 1 is activated to generate saturated steam. The steam fills the cabinet space from bottom to top, starting to heat the fish maw. The key difference from traditional equipment is that the drive component starts working at this time, driving the annular chain plate 63 to rotate on the annular limiting rack 62. The inner part slowly rotates, and at the same time, the rotating mechanism 7 is also started synchronously. The tray 81, which is fixed by the connecting plate 84, the ring chain plate 63, and the rotating mechanism 7, rotates in the internal movement track of the ring limit frame 62. This moves the fish maw, which was originally located in the top tray 81 of the placement rack 5 and in the area where the steam circulation may be weak, to the central area where the steam flow is more abundant. This solves the problem of uneven heating caused by the fixed position of traditional steamers. At this time, the fish maw is steamed from the bottom to the top surface, so that all surfaces of the fish maw can be evenly contacted with steam. This avoids the situation where some parts are directly exposed to steam for a long time while others cannot be effectively deodorized, thus improving the uniformity of the deodorization effect.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the rotating mechanism 7 includes a second servo motor 71 fixedly connected to the front side of the upright plate 64. The output end of the second servo motor 71 is fixedly connected to a second drive rod 72. The second drive rod 72 passes through the upright plate 64 and is fixedly connected to a second gear 73. The inner bottom of the upright plate 64 is rotatably connected to a third drive rod 74. Both ends of the third drive rod 74 are fixedly connected to a third gear 75. The outer surfaces of the third gear 75 and the second gear 73 are meshed together by a gear chain belt 76.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the drive assembly includes a first drive rod 66 rotatably connected to both ends of the two upright plates 64. A first gear 67 is fixedly connected to both sides of the first drive rod 66 near the upright plate 64, and a first servo motor 65 is fixedly connected to one end of the first drive rod 66 located at the top of the upright plate 64. Square slots are provided at the top and bottom of the annular limiting frame 62. The first gear 67 meshes with the annular chain plate 63 to complete the rotation of the annular chain plate 63 inside the annular limiting frame 62.

[0028] To prevent the fish maw located at the bottom of the steaming cabinet 1 from being overcooked and becoming watery, the No. 1 servo motor 65 located at the top of the upright plate 64 is activated at a set time. Its output torque is directly transmitted to the No. 1 drive rod 66, and the No. 1 gears 67 at both ends of the drive rod rotate synchronously. Since the top and bottom of the annular limiting frame 62 have square slots, the teeth of the No. 1 gear 67 can precisely mesh with the meshing grooves of the annular chain plate 63 through the slots, forming a stable power transmission chain. Since the annular chain plate 63 is nested inside the annular limiting frame 62, it moves in a circular motion along the annular inner wall of the annular limiting frame 62 under the drive of the No. 1 gear 67. At this time, the annular chain plates 63 on the front and rear sides of the placement rack 5 are connected by the connecting plate 8 of the tray 81. 4. A rigid connection is formed to ensure synchronous movement of the chain plates on both sides, preventing the pallet 81 from twisting due to the speed difference between the two sides. At the same time, the first drive rod 66 (one set at the top and one set at the bottom) located at the bottom of the inside of the upright plate 64 forms a symmetrical support structure. The top drive rod is responsible for active driving, and the bottom drive rod meshes with the bottom of the annular chain plate 63 through the first gear 67, which not only assists in transmitting power but also limits the radial displacement of the chain plate, preventing it from deviating from the track during high-speed movement. In order to ensure the stability of the rotation of the pallet 81, the second servo motor 71 is started at the same time when the first servo motor 65 is started. The second servo motor 71 on the front side of the upright plate 64 serves as an auxiliary power source, and its output end drives the second gear 73 to rotate through the second drive rod 72. The second gear 73 meshes with the inner tooth groove of the gear chain 76, while the lower end of the gear chain 76 meshes with the third gear 75 at both ends of the third drive rod 74, forming a closed rectangular transmission chain. The gear chain 76 is fixed to the middle of the tray 81 through the intermediate connecting plate 84. When the drive assembly drives the tray 81 to move along a circular trajectory, the speed of the second servo motor 71 can be adjusted to keep the linear velocity of the gear chain 76 and the circular chain plate 63 consistent, so as to ensure that the tray 81 moves along the common path of the circular chain plate 63 and the gear chain 76. Under the action of the ring-shaped limiting frame 62, the position of the tray 81 inside the placement rack 5 is adjusted to avoid the fish maw at the bottom of the steaming cabinet 1 being overcooked and "watery", and the fish maw at the top not being fully cooked. In the above operation, the problem of the fixed contact angle between the fish maw and the steam in static steaming or equipment with unidirectional movement is solved. The area that is partially attached to the tray 81 is prone to forming a "steam blind zone", which leads to the residue of fishy substances (such as nitrogen-containing compounds) and requires subsequent secondary treatment.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the storage mechanism 8 also includes connecting plates 84 fixedly connected to the four corners of the tray 81, and the connecting plates 84 fix the two sides of the tray 81 to the annular chain plate 63 and the gear chain belt 76 respectively to provide stable support for the tray 81; the interior of the tray 81 is fixedly connected to the linearly arranged partition plates 82, and the surface is provided with multiple slots, and the slots are fitted with card plates 83 to form individual storage slots; a cover plate 86 is placed on the upper surface of the tray 81, and the two sides of the tray 81 are hinged with latches 85 for fixing the cover plate 86.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the bottom of the tray 81 and the inside of the cover plate 86 are provided with evenly distributed drainage holes to facilitate the drainage of the tray 81; the card plate 83 and the partition plate 82 are both made of PP material, and the card plate 83 is inserted into the slot at different positions of the partition plate 82 to form storage slots with different storage spaces.

[0031] Before placing the fish maw into the tray 81, the operator can insert the card plate 83 into the slots at different positions on the partition plate 82 according to the size and shape of the fish maw, thereby flexibly adjusting the size of the storage slot. This allows the same tray 81 to efficiently and neatly accommodate fish maw raw materials of different specifications, achieving personalized customized storage and avoiding uneven heating and mutual adhesion caused by mixing large trays. After the fish maw is loaded, the cover plate 86 is closed and secured with the lock 85, forming a semi-enclosed protective space. Subsequently, the entire storage mechanism 8 is securely installed onto the annular chain plate 63 through the connecting plate 84. On the gear chain 76, the tray 81 is rigidly connected to the moving parts on both sides via the connecting plate 84, ensuring that the tray 81 will not shake or fall off when its position is adjusted, thus guaranteeing stable and safe operation. Furthermore, during the steaming process, saturated steam can smoothly penetrate to all surfaces of the fish maw through evenly distributed perforations at the bottom of the tray 81 and inside the cover plate 86, ensuring no dead angles in heating. Simultaneously, the generated condensate can be quickly discharged through these perforations, effectively preventing the fish maw from being soaked in water for extended periods, further ensuring the quality of the steamed fish maw and solving the problem of uneven processing caused by mixed loading. Specifically, adjustable partition plates 82 and clamping plates 83 divide the bulk fish maw in the large tray into multiple standardized independent units. This allows each piece of fish maw to be evenly coated with steam in its own independent, small space, completely avoiding the problems of mutual obstruction, uneven heating, and inconsistent deodorization effects caused by stacking and squeezing, greatly improving the consistency of product quality. The clamping plates 83 and partition plates 82 are made of PP material. Not only is it corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, but its adjustable characteristics also enable the device to quickly adapt to different varieties and specifications of fish maw raw materials, realizing flexible production of the equipment, reducing downtime for adjustment due to product line changes, and significantly improving production efficiency and equipment utilization.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, trays 9 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the placement rack 5. The upper surface of each tray 9 is provided with a scraping mechanism 10 for scraping away water droplets collected at the bottom of the tray 81. The scraping mechanism 10 includes a third servo motor 101 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tray 9. A rotating rod 102 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third servo motor 101. Several cleaning components for cleaning water collected at the bottom of the tray 81 are provided on the outer circular surface of the rotating rod 102. The cleaning components include a support plate 103 fixedly connected to the outer circular surface of the rotating rod 102. A hydraulic rod 104 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate 103. A sliding plate 105 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the hydraulic rod 104. A sliding seat 106 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding plate 105, and one side of the sliding seat 106 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 104. Several folding scrapers 107 are hinged to both sides of the outer surface of the sliding seat 106.

[0033] During the steaming process, the folding scraper 107 is in a retracted state, and the rotating rod 102 driven by the third servo motor 101 rotates the entire cleaning assembly, so that the retracted folding scraper 107 is positioned between the two fixed plates 61, avoiding interference with the movement of the tray 81. When the steaming program ends or the condensate needs to be removed during the intermittent period, the third servo motor 101 is activated, driving the rotating rod 102 to rotate, causing all the cleaning components mounted on it to rotate and align with the bottom of the slowly rotating tray 81. After positioning, the hydraulic rod 104 is activated, and its output end pushes the slide 106 forward on the slide plate 105, causing the folding scraper 107 hinged on both sides of the slide 106 to unfold outward until its scraping edge is tightly against the bottom surface of the tray 81. The hydraulic system provides stable and adjustable pressure to ensure that the scraper 107 is in full contact with the bottom surface, while avoiding excessive pressure that could damage the tray 81. After the scraper 107 is in close contact, the third servo motor 101... The system is slowly rotated again under control, and the rotating rod 102 and support plate 103 drive the entire unfolded cleaning assembly to rotate and scrape, using the rotating scraper 107 to efficiently remove the large area of ​​condensate adhering to the bottom of the tray 81; after a single scraping action is completed, the hydraulic rod 104 retracts, pulling the slide 106 back, causing the folded scraper 107 to fold back. After detaching from the bottom of tray 81 and folding back, servo motor 101 can rotate the cleaning component to the initial standby position or prepare for the next operation, thus completing a full cleaning cycle. During the entire operation, unlike traditional equipment that passively relies on gravity for drainage, this device actively and thoroughly scrapes away the condensate accumulated at the bottom of tray 81 through the unfoldable folding scraper 107 and precise pressure control. This fundamentally prevents the condensate from accumulating to a certain height and submerging the lower layer of fish maw, or dripping and causing the fish maw to be partially "boiled," greatly ensuring the uniform texture and excellent quality of the fish maw product, avoiding nutrient loss and taste damage. Moreover, the entire cleaning process is an automated operation without stopping the machine, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, both sides of the placement rack 5 are provided with a first water collection mechanism 12 for collecting water from the bottom of the tray 81. One side of the fixing plate 61 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 11 for adjusting the angle of the first water collection mechanism 12. The adjustment mechanism 11 includes a fourth servo motor 111 fixedly connected to one side of the annular limiting frame 62. The output end of the fourth servo motor 111 is fixedly connected to a support rod. The middle of the outer circle of the support rod is fixedly connected to a support base 112. The first water collection mechanism 12 includes a fifth servo motor 121 fixedly connected to the top of the support base 112. The output end of the fifth servo motor 121 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 122. One side of the horizontal plane of the bidirectional threaded rod 122 is provided with a limiting rod 123 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 112. The middle of the outer circle of the limiting rod 123 is fixedly connected to a partition sleeve 124, and water guiding components are provided on both sides of the partition sleeve 124.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 11 also includes a U-shaped frame 114 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 61. A support rod 115 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped frame 114. A driven pulley 116 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer circular surface of the support rod 115. A main pulley 113 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer circular surface of the support rod. A belt 117 is fitted on the outer surfaces of the main pulley 113 and the driven pulley 116. A second water collection mechanism 13 with the same structure and function as the first water collection mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the outer circular surface of the support rod 115.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the water guiding assembly includes a first ball nut seat 125 and a second ball nut seat 128 located on both sides of the partition sleeve 124. Both the first ball nut seat 125 and the second ball nut seat 128 are slidably connected to the limiting rod 123. A first folding water collection box 126 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first ball nut seat 125, and a first electric telescopic rod 127 for controlling the unfolding and retraction of the first folding water collection box 126 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first ball nut seat 125. A second folding water collection box 129 is fixedly connected to the top of the second ball nut seat 128, and a second electric telescopic rod 1210 for controlling the unfolding and retraction of the second folding water collection box 129 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second ball nut seat 128.

[0037] When the scraping mechanism 10 starts and scrapes water from the bottom of the moving tray 81, the adjusting mechanism 11 operates synchronously. Specifically, the fourth servo motor 111 starts, driving the main pulley 113 to rotate via its output support rod. Power is transmitted through the belt 117 to the driven pulley 116, which in turn drives the support rod 115 to rotate within the U-shaped frame 114. Since the first water collection mechanism 12 is fixed to the support rod via the support seat 112, and the second water collection mechanism 13 is fixed to the support rod 115, their angles change synchronously to control the tilt angle of the water collection box, ensuring its opening is always in the optimal position to receive the condensate flow scraped away by the scraper 107 and ensure accurate wastewater drainage. Simultaneously with the angle adjustment, the first and second water collection mechanisms 12 and 13 begin to operate, starting the fifth servo motor 121 and driving the bidirectional threaded rod 122 to rotate. Due to the first ball bearing nut seat 125 and the second ball bearing nut seat 128... Engaged with the bidirectional threaded rod 122 and restricted to horizontal sliding by the limiting rod 123, they move simultaneously towards or away from each other. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 127 and the second electric telescopic rod 1210 act respectively, pushing out the first folded water collection box 126 and the second folded water collection box 129 to form a complete water receiving container, ready to collect the scraped condensate. The condensate scraped off by the scraping mechanism 10 is thrown out under the action of centrifugal force and falls into the water collection box that has been unfolded and adjusted in angle. The collected wastewater is promptly discharged from the cooking cabinet 1 through the pipe at the bottom of the water collection box and enters the factory drainage system, thereby completely avoiding the circulation or splashing of wastewater inside the equipment. After the condensate is collected, the first electric telescopic rod 127 and the second electric telescopic rod 1210 retract, causing the first folded water collection box 126 and the second folded water collection box 129 to be folded up respectively. Then, the fifth servo motor 121 reverses, causing the first ball nut seat 125 to... The second ball bearing nut seat 128 returns to its initial position; finally, the fourth servo motor 111 reverses, rotating the entire first water collection mechanism 12 and the second water collection mechanism 13 back to a safe position that does not affect the movement of the tray 81, awaiting the next command. Throughout the operation, the tilt angle of the first water collection mechanism 12 and the second water collection mechanism 13, as well as the actively unfolded first folding water collection box 126 and the second folding water collection box 129, are adjusted by the adjustable mechanism 11 to actively collect the condensate at the bottom of the tray 81 and discharge it from the equipment. This avoids wastewater splashing, dripping back onto the fish maw, or accumulating inside the equipment, which could lead to microbial growth and cross-contamination, greatly improving the hygiene, safety, and quality of the product.

[0038] A method for using a steaming and deodorizing device for processing fish maw, the method comprising the following steps: S1: Place the soaked fish maw evenly in the tray 81 of the storage mechanism 8, and fix the cover plate 86 with the buckle 85; S2: Push the rack 5 into the steaming cabinet 1 and start the steam generator 2 to steam and remove the fishy smell; S3: During the steaming process, the drive assembly and rotating mechanism 7 are activated as needed to drive the tray 81 to rotate along the inner side of the annular limit frame 62 and adjust the position of the fish maw to be heated. S4: After steaming, the scraping mechanism 10 is activated to scrape off the condensate at the bottom of the tray 81, and the condensate is collected using the first water collection mechanism 12 and the second water collection mechanism 13. S5: Remove the placement rack 5 and proceed with the further processing of the fish maw.

[0039] In use, the operator first adjusts the position of the card plate 83 in the slot of the partition plate 82 according to the size and shape of the fish maw, customizing it to form an appropriately sized independent storage slot. This achieves unitized loading of the fish maw, effectively avoiding stacking and compression. After loading, the cover plate 86 is closed and secured with the lock 85, forming a semi-enclosed protective space. Subsequently, the entire storage mechanism 8 is securely installed on the annular chain plate 63 and gear chain belt 76 via the connecting plate 84, forming a rigidly connected whole. Finally, the placement rack 5 is pushed into the steaming cabinet 1 via the base 4 and sealed. Then, the steam generator 2 is started to fill the cabinet with saturated steam. At this time, the drive component and the rotating mechanism 7 start synchronously. The drive component drives the annular chain plate 63 to circulate along the annular limit frame 62, while the rotating mechanism 7 provides auxiliary power to the tray 81 through the gear chain belt 76, ensuring that all the fish maw continuously changes size within the steaming cabinet space. By changing the position and ensuring that all surfaces of the fish maw are evenly exposed to steam, the problems of dead zones in steam flow and uneven static heating are completely eliminated, achieving a highly uniform deodorizing effect and avoiding damage to the collagen network caused by local overheating. Furthermore, to handle the condensation generated during steaming, when drainage is needed, the third servo motor 101 is activated, driving the rotating rod 102 to rotate the cleaning component to align with the bottom of the tray 81. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod 104 pushes the slide 106 to extend, causing the folding scraper 107 to unfold and tightly adhere to the bottom surface of the tray 81. Finally, the third servo motor 101 is activated again, driving the rotating scraper 107 to efficiently scrape away the condensation. Almost simultaneously, the adjusting mechanism 11 begins to work, adjusting the angles of the first water collection mechanism 12 and the second water collection mechanism 13 to the optimal water receiving position. At the same time, the fifth servo motor 121 in the first water collection mechanism 12 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 122, causing the first ball bearing nut seat 125 to... The first fold water collection box 126 and the second fold water collection box 129 on the second ball bearing nut seat 128 unfold under the drive of the first electric telescopic rod 127 and the second electric telescopic rod 1210, accurately collecting the scraped condensate and guiding it out of the equipment. This process is completed automatically without stopping the machine, fundamentally preventing the "boiling" phenomenon and secondary pollution.
