[0038] The following example describes the material steam chamber of the utility model and the food processing and forming equipment having the same. This example is only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the utility model, there is provided a material steam chamber, which is applied to food processing and forming equipment, comprising: a first side upright plate 11 and a second side upright plate 12 which are arranged relatively spaced apart, a plurality of steam outlet holes 13 are formed on the side of the first side upright plate 11 facing the second side upright plate 12 and / or a plurality of steam outlet holes 13 are formed on the side of the second side upright plate 12 facing the first side upright plate 11. It can be understood that the material is in the gap space formed by the first side upright plate 11 and the second side upright plate 12.
[0040] In this technical solution, by forming a plurality of steam outlet holes 13 on the opposite sides of the first side upright plate 11 and the second side upright plate 12, multi-point and multi-region steam softening of the material in the height direction and the width direction can be achieved, thereby ensuring the softening effect of the material in the material steam chamber, and effectively preventing the phenomenon of material breakage and reduced product quality during the molding process due to poor softening effect in the prior art.
[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2As shown, the plurality of steam outlet holes 13 on the first side plate 11 are arranged at least in two rows at the height of the material steam chamber; similar to the first side plate 11, the plurality of steam outlet holes 13 on the second side plate 12 are arranged at least in two rows at the height of the material steam chamber. Figure 2 As shown, seven rows are arranged up and down along the height direction on the first side vertical plate 11 and the second side vertical plate 12 respectively, so as to form a more intensive steam extraction in the height direction of the material, thereby ensuring the steam softening effect.
[0042] Continue to see Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of first steam distribution channels 14 extending along a straight direction are constructed in the first side vertical plate 11, and the steam outlet holes 13 are spaced apart along the length extension direction of each first steam distribution channel 14, and the first steam distribution channels 14 are spaced apart up and down along the height of the material steam chamber; and / or, a plurality of second steam distribution channels extending along a straight direction are constructed in the second side vertical plate 12, and the steam outlet holes 13 are spaced apart along the length extension direction of each second steam distribution channel, and the second steam distribution channels are spaced apart up and down along the height of the material steam chamber.
[0043] In this technical solution, by providing a first steam distribution channel 14 and a second steam distribution channel extending in a straight line, each steam outlet hole 13 is spaced apart on each corresponding steam distribution channel 14, which can simplify the layout difficulty of each steam outlet hole 13 and simplify the manufacturing process.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the first steam distribution channels 14 in the first side plate 11 are staggered along the thickness direction of the first side plate 11; and / or,
[0045] The second steam distribution channels in the second side vertical plate 12 are staggered along the thickness direction of the second side vertical plate 12 .
[0046] In this technical solution, by forming a staggered arrangement of steam distribution channels in the thickness direction of the side plates, that is, in the inner and outer directions thereof, the structural layout of the side plates can be made more reasonable, the number of steam outlet holes 13 per unit area can be increased, and the amount of steam introduced can be increased, thereby improving the softening efficiency.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first side upright plate 11 is further configured with a first steam inlet pipe 151 and a second steam inlet pipe 152 which are staggered along the thickness direction thereof, the first steam inlet pipe 151 and the second steam inlet pipe 152 extend from bottom to top, the first steam inlet pipe 151 is connected in series with each of the first steam distribution channels 14 on the inner side of the first side upright plate 11, and the second steam inlet pipe 152 is connected in series with each of the first steam distribution channels 14 on the outer side of the first side upright plate 11; and / or, the second side upright plate 12 is further configured with a third steam inlet pipe and a fourth steam inlet pipe which are staggered along the thickness direction thereof, the third steam inlet pipe is connected in series with each of the second steam distribution channels on the inner side of the second side upright plate 12, and the fourth steam inlet pipe is connected in series with each of the second steam distribution channels on the outer side of the second side upright plate 12.
[0048] In this technical solution, by extending the steam inlet pipes from bottom to top, the buoyancy of the steam can be used to wrap both sides of the material from bottom to top, further improving the softening effect of the steam on the material.
[0049] In order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of each steam distribution channel, in a specific embodiment, each of the aforementioned steam distribution channels is formed by perforating along one end to the other end of the side plate. At this time, correspondingly, both ends of each of the first steam distribution channels 14 are sealed with plugs 16; and / or,
[0050] Both ends of each of the second steam distribution channels are sealed with plugs 16 to seal the end openings of each steam distribution channel 14 .
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the structures of the first side upright plate 11 and the second side upright plate 12 are mirror images of each other.
[0052] In some embodiments, a steam chamber bottom plate 171 and a steam chamber sealing plate 172 are sandwiched between the first side upright plate 11 and the second side upright plate 12. The specific number of the aforementioned steam chamber sealing plates 172 can be reasonably selected according to the shape of the corresponding side upright plates.

In this technical solution, the latch 21 can block the material inlet when the steam chamber steam softens the material. At the same time, it can be understood that the material push-out channel at this time is blocked by the corresponding component of the rear push component 102, thereby meeting the closed space requirement of the steam chamber.
[0055] According to the embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 4 As shown, a food processing and molding device is also provided, including a steam chamber 200, and the steam chamber 200 is the material steam chamber mentioned above. It can be seen in the figure that the food processing and molding device also includes a molding chamber 100 and a lower mold 101 located below the molding chamber 100 (of course, there is also an upper mold arranged corresponding to the lower mold 101, not shown in the figure), and a rear pushing component 102 arranged corresponding to one end of the material pushing channel of the steam chamber. In this way, after the material is softened in the steam chamber 200, the rear pushing component 102 is controlled to push the softened material out of the steam chamber 200 and into the subsequent molding chamber 100.
