In the process of steaming noodles, the generated water vapor rises into the spherical top cover 21 and gathers to form water droplets when it is cooled. The water droplets slide along the spherical top cover 21 to the multiple vertical holes 23 on the mounting ring 22 and flow into the water at the bottom of the box body 10 along the guide hole 24, so as to avoid the water droplets formed by the water vapor falling on the surface of the noodles, causing them to become wet or even sticky, and to avoid affecting the subsequent processing steps and the taste of the noodles. At the same time, the water formed by the water vapor is recovered and reused, so as to improve the utilization rate of water.

[0024] Among them, a heating device is provided at the bottom of the box body 10, and its installation and working method are existing technologies and will not be described here.

[0025] Preferably, the upper surface of the mounting ring 22 is inclined from top to bottom and from the center to the edge.

[0026] Through the above arrangement, the utility model can realize that water drops can slide along the spherical top cover 21 into the multiple vertical holes 23 on the mounting ring 22, thereby preventing water drops from falling on the noodles.

[0027] Preferably, the vertical hole 23 is a tapered hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0028] The utility model provides a tapered vertical hole 23, so that water drops can fall into the hole and be collected.

[0029] Preferably, a mounting groove 31 is formed in a downward circular shape at the top of the box body 10 , and a guide groove 32 is formed in a circular shape at the bottom of the mounting groove 31 , and the guide groove 32 is communicated with the guide hole 24 .

[0030] Through the above arrangement, the utility model can realize that water drops can slide down the spherical top cover 21 into the multiple vertical holes 23 on the mounting ring 22, the guide groove 32 and the guide hole 24 in sequence, and finally flow into the water at the bottom of the box body 10. During installation, there is no need to align the vertical holes 23 with the guide holes 24, which is easy to operate.

[0031] Preferably, the outer surface of the mounting ring 22 is fixed to the inner surface of the first sealing ring 33 , and the outer surface of the first sealing ring 33 can be in contact and sealed with the outer side of the mounting groove 31 .

[0032] The first sealing ring 33 is made of a soft material, such as rubber, silicone, etc., and can achieve a snap connection between the mounting ring 22 and the top of the box body 10 through elastic deformation while achieving sealing between the two.

[0033] Preferably, a second sealing ring 34 is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the mounting groove 31, and the second sealing ring 34 can contact and seal with the lower surface of the mounting ring 22;

[0034] A retaining ring 35 extends downward from the inner surface of the mounting ring 22 , and the outer surface of the retaining ring 35 can contact the inner wall of the box body 10 .

[0035] The utility model prevents the water in the guide groove 32 from sliding down the side wall of the box body 10 onto the noodles through the above arrangement, and facilitates the installation of the cover body 20 and the box body 10.

[0036] Preferably, the guide hole 24 includes a vertical section 25 and an inclined section 26. The top of the vertical section 25 is connected to the guide groove 32, and the bottom of the vertical section 25 is connected to the top of the inclined section 26. The inclined section 26 is inclined from top to bottom, from the edge of the box 10 to its center, and the bottom of the inclined section 26 is connected to the inside of the box 10.

[0037] The bottom of the inclined section 26 is located above the liquid level of the water in the box 10 to avoid backflow.

[0038] Preferably, a plurality of support blocks 12 are fixed circumferentially in the middle of the box body 10 for supporting the support plate 11 and the noodles contained therein.

[0039] Among them, the upper support plate 11 is larger than the lower support plate 11. Correspondingly, the length of the upper support block 12 extending toward the center of the box body 10 is shorter than the length of the lower support block 12 extending toward the center of the box body 10. At the same time, the diameter of the inscribed circle of the upper support block 12 is smaller than the diameter of the lower support plate 11, which facilitates the installation of the lower support plate 11. The above structure is prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0040] Preferably, a water inlet pipe 13 and a water outlet pipe 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box body 10 , which are used to add water into the box body 10 and drain water respectively.

[0043] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0044] First, multiple support plates 11 containing noodles are sequentially placed into the box body 10 and respectively installed on the corresponding support blocks 12, and water is injected into the bottom of the box body 10 through the water inlet pipe 13; the mounting ring 22 of the cover body 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 31 through the handle 15, and the outer surface of the first sealing ring 33 can be in contact and sealed with the outer side of the mounting groove 31, the second sealing ring 34 can be in contact and sealed with the lower surface of the mounting ring 22, and the outer surface of the retaining ring 35 can be in contact with the inner wall of the box body 10, so that the cover body 20 is installed on the top of the box body 10;

[0045] The heating device at the bottom of the box body 10 is started to heat the water at the bottom of the box body 10 to steam the noodles on the support plate 11. In the process of steaming the noodles, the generated water vapor rises into the spherical top cover 21 and gathers to form water droplets when it encounters cold. The water droplets slide along the spherical top cover 21 to the multiple vertical holes 23 on the mounting ring 22, the guide groove 32 and the guide hole 24 in turn, and flow along the vertical section 25 and the inclined section 26 of the guide hole 24 in turn and merge into the water at the bottom of the box body 10, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the water droplets formed by the water vapor fall on the surface of the noodles, causing them to become wet or even sticky, and to avoid affecting the subsequent processing steps and the taste of the noodles. At the same time, the water formed by the water vapor is recycled and reused, thereby improving the utilization rate of water.
