Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model is applied to the field of food and relates to a food steamer, in particular to a steamer used for steaming flower buns. Background Art

[0002] Huamo is an artistic food that reflects Chinese culture in terms of diet. It is eaten during festivals, full moon birthdays, weddings and funerals to express ideals and wishes. Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the existing steamer structure is composed of an insulation box 1, the bottom of which is a water tank 4, an electric heater 5 is installed in the water tank, which is used to heat water to generate steam, and a float valve 6 is installed on the upper part of the water tank, which is connected to the water inlet pipe 7. When the water in the water tank 4 evaporates and the water level drops, the float valve 6 opens, and the water inlet pipe 7 injects water into the water tank 4. When the water level reaches a predetermined height, the float valve 6 is closed. In this way, the water level in the water tank 4 is always maintained at a predetermined height, so that the electric heater 5 does not dry out. When the flower bun is steamed, the flower bun is placed on the steaming plate 3, and the steaming plate is inserted into the ridge 2 in the steamer, the door is closed, the electric heater 5 is powered on, and the water vapor flows from bottom to top and is discharged through the steam outlet 8. When users steam flower buns, the main disadvantages of the steamer are: 1) the steam is discharged, resulting in high humidity in the environment, and the production room almost becomes a sauna room; 2) a sealed room is later added to the periphery of the steamer, and the steam is discharged by an exhaust fan. The flower bun production rooms are mostly located in the stores at the bottom of residential buildings on both sides of the road. Although the production room environment is improved, it brings troubles to the residents upstairs, especially in summer; 3) the steam condenses into water droplets at the bottom of the steaming plate and the upper plate of the steamer, and drips on the surface of the flower bun, causing bubbles on the surface of the flower bun, affecting the appearance of the flower bun, losing its artistic value and becoming waste; 4) the steaming plate 3 is a flat plate, and the steam can only rise through the gap between the steaming plate and the rear plate and door plate of the steamer. The steam pressure in the steamer is uneven, and the evaporation time of the top flower bun and the bottom flower bun is different. In order to reduce the time difference, the steam pressure can only be increased, the steam generation is large, the external discharge volume is large, and the electric heating power consumption is large.

[0003] Regarding the issue of steam recycling, CN220212628U discloses a steamer, the upper part of which is a heating chamber and the lower part is a water storage chamber, which are separated by a partition with a through hole. The top wall of the heating chamber is inclined, and the side wall of the steam opening is higher than the side wall of the condensed water flowing down. The condensed water is collected again into the water storage chamber through the through hole, so as to realize the recycling of water in the steamer. CN218074490U discloses a steamer with heat recycling, the bottom of the steamer is provided with a water tank, and the circulation pipe on the left side of the steamer connects the steamer and the water tank. The circulation pipe is connected to the sealing pipe, and two connecting rods pass through the sealing pipe and a transmission mechanism is provided between the supporting plate, and a condensation mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the sealing pipe. When the sealing plug moves to the left, the sealing pipe sucks the steam in the steamer and condenses into water. When the sealing plug moves to the right, the water in the sealing pipe is pressed into the water tank. The former patent is simplified and cannot achieve the expected effect. The latter patent is complicated, the mechanism is complicated, and there is a problem of water vapor corrosion.

[0004] Regarding the problem of collecting water droplets, CN210330301U discloses a steamer for catering, which solves the problem of water droplets formed on the top and dripping into the dishes when steaming food. An inverted V-shaped plate is set on the top of the inner wall of the steamer, so that the collected water droplets slide to both sides and are collected by a collection device to prevent the water droplets from falling into the dishes. CN210144467U discloses a steamer. After the food is steamed, when the door is opened, the condensed water on the inside of the door will be brought out with the movement of the door. In order to prevent the condensed water from polluting the ground, a drip groove is set at the front end of the bottom plate of the steamer. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is: to provide a steamer for flower buns, steam is recycled and utilized without being discharged to pollute the environment; water droplets condensed in the steamer flow down to the water tank through the inner wall of the steamer, and do not drip on the flower buns, so as not to affect the artistic beauty of the flower buns; the steam flow in the steamer is reasonable and the power consumption is low.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: the utility model adds a dripping cover and a steam recovery device on the basis of the original structure of the steamed bun steamer. The steam recovery device includes a suction cover, an exhaust fan, a steam pipe, a water bucket, etc. The suction cover is located above the steam outlet and is connected to the air inlet of the exhaust fan through a pipeline. The air outlet of the exhaust fan is connected to the steam pipe. The lower end of the steam pipe is inserted into the water in the water bucket. The steam can be condensed into water by cooling the water.

[0019] This embodiment is in the attached Figure 1 The improvement on the existing steam box adds a dripping cover 19 and a steam recovery device to solve the problem of steam discharge and bubbles on the surface of the steamed bun.

[0020] The drip cover 19 structure is as shown in the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the drip cover 19 is made of glass or plastic with good water wettability, and its upper part is arc-shaped, spherical, or ellipsoidal, and is processed with air holes. The bottom is matched with the edge of the steaming plate 3 and fixed on the steaming plate 3. The flower bun is placed on the steaming plate, and the drip cover 19 is placed. The steaming plate is placed on the ridge 2 in the steamer. When steam is generated, it can rise through the air holes on the drip cover. If the steam condenses into water droplets, the water droplets will soak on the drip cover. When the water droplets gradually increase, the water droplets will slide to both sides along the arc guide of the drip cover surface and flow down through the inner wall of the steamer into the sink. Instead of directly falling and dripping onto the surface of the flower bun, the bubble defect on the surface of the flower bun is avoided, and the artistic beauty of the flower bun is maintained.

[0021] The steam recovery device includes an air intake hood 11, an exhaust fan 12, a steam pipe 13, a water bucket 17, etc. The air intake hood 11 is arranged above the steam outlet 8 of the steam box and connected to the air inlet of the exhaust fan 12 through a pipeline. The air outlet of the exhaust fan 12 is connected to the steam pipe 13, and the lower end of the steam pipe 13 is inserted into the water bucket 17. The barrel mouth of the water bucket 17 is covered with a barrel cover 15, and the sealing cloth 14 is covered above the gap where the barrel cover passes through the steam pipe 13. The outer edge of the barrel cover 15 is bent downward to form a cavity with the outer surface of the water bucket. A vent is processed on the barrel wall of the water bucket in the cavity. A water inlet 16 is set at the upper part of the water bucket, and at the bottom of the water bucket, one side is connected to the water inlet pipe 7, and the other side is set with a water outlet pipe 18. When the steam in the steam box is discharged through the steam outlet 8, the exhaust fan 12 is started, and the suction cover 11 is located above the steam outlet 8. All the rising steam and the air around the steam are sucked into the exhaust fan 12 together, and then sent to the water bucket 17 through the steam pipe 13. The water bucket is filled with water at a certain height, and the steam pipe 13 is inserted below the water surface. The steam sent by the steam pipe 13 is cooled by water and condensed into water, and the air and the steam that has not condensed into water are discharged through the gap between the barrel cover and the steam pipe 13, the vent hole and the cavity. The sealing cloth 14 covered on the barrel cover can cool the water vapor and absorb liquid water to achieve no steam discharge. The steam discharged through the vent hole and the cavity forms turbulence in the cavity, and the steam condenses into water and slides through the gap between the barrel cover and the outer surface of the barrel body. The water inlet 16 can add water to the water bucket, and the water outlet pipe 18 can drain water from the water bucket. The two cooperate to achieve a water level within a controllable range. The height of the water surface directly determines the water inlet pressure of the water inlet pipe 7.

[0022] The suction cover 11 is located above the steam outlet 8, and the negative pressure of the suction does not affect the steam pressure in the steamer. The water vapor is cooled and condensed into water through the water in the bucket, the sealing cloth, the cavity turbulence at the edge of the bucket cover, etc., so that no steam is discharged. The water in the bucket can flow into the water tank at the bottom of the steamer through the water inlet pipe 7, or be released from the water outlet pipe 18 to be used for dough kneading. Distilled water kneading can make the flower bun taste better. The wind pressure of the exhaust fan 12 in this embodiment is related to the depth of the steam pipe 13 inserted into the water surface. The deeper the depth, the more complete the steam condensation.

[0023] The steam plate 3 is processed with air holes, similar to the steamer's cage, and the water vapor generated in the water tank can rise through the air holes on the steam plate 3 to directly evaporate the flower bun. The air holes together with the air holes on the drip cover 19 make the steam pressure in the steamer uniform, which is conducive to the evaporation of the flower bun and reduces the steam pressure and steam volume.

[0024] This embodiment does not change the structure of the steamer, but adds a steam recovery device and corresponding pipelines to the original steamer equipment, so as to achieve no steam discharge, which greatly improves the working and living environment. At the same time, it also achieves the recovery of distilled water and realizes water conservation. A drip cover is added and placed directly on the steaming plate. The condensed water droplets in the steamer flow down along the drip cover and do not drip on the steamed bun, so as not to destroy the artistic beauty of the steamed bun. The steaming plate and the drip cover are provided with air holes, and the steam can rise through the air holes to directly evaporate the steamed bun, so as to ensure that the steam pressure above and below the steamer is consistent, reduce the steam consumption, and then reduce the energy consumption of electric heating, saving costs.

[0025] It should be noted that, whether it is glass or plastic drip cover, it needs to be manufactured by mold opening. In order to save costs, the drip cover of this embodiment can be made of stainless steel sheet or stainless steel wire mesh. Stainless steel has good water wettability and can also achieve the function of drainage. Example 2

[0026] This embodiment is based on the embodiment 1, the steam recovery device is directly arranged in the box 1, forming an integral body, and does not need an external water pipe, and can be used directly by connecting to the power supply. Figure 4 shown.

[0027] The exhaust fan 12 is installed on the top of the box, and the suction cover 11 is also arranged above the steam outlet 8 of the steam box. The water bucket 17 is installed in the box and is a closed structure. The top, bottom, upper part and lower part of the water bucket are all provided with holes. The steam pipe 13 extends into the water bucket from the top opening, and the bottom opening of the water bucket is connected to the water inlet pipe 7. The water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the float valve 6, and water can be automatically added to the water tank 4 by the water pressure in the water bucket. The lower opening of the water bucket is connected to the outlet pipe 18, and the outlet pipe 18 can discharge the excess water in the water bucket and adjust the water level. On the outlet pipe 18, a water level gauge 20 is connected, and the water level position in the water bucket can be detected by the water level in the water level gauge. The upper opening of the water bucket is connected to a spiral tube 21, which is used to discharge the air sucked in by the exhaust fan 12 and cool the uncondensed water vapor. At the upper end of the spiral tube 21, a funnel is provided for filling water into the water bucket, that is, the vent hole and the water inlet in the first embodiment are combined into one. The spiral tube 21 increases the passage of uncondensed steam, so that the steam has time to condense into water droplets under the action of room temperature, and flows back into the water bucket from the spiral tube 21, so that no steam is discharged. In the steam recovery device of this embodiment, the float valve 6 does not need to be connected to an external water pipe, and only water can be filled into the water bucket, and the steam can be recycled, especially for the hard water in the north, which not only saves water, but also greatly reduces the scale in the water tank.

[0028] The structures of the drip collecting cover 19 and the steaming plate 3 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0029] This embodiment is suitable for steamer manufacturers, and can directly manufacture steamers into steamers without steam exhaust and water-saving steamers. Example 3

[0030] This embodiment is suitable for steamer manufacturers, and can be supplemented on the basis of existing steamers. The structure is as shown in the attached Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the steam recovery device in the box is moved out of the box. Compared with embodiment 2, the advantages of this embodiment are: 1) it can be directly added to the existing steam box without changing the structure of the original steam box; 2) the steam pipe 13 and the water bucket 17 can transfer heat to the surrounding air, which is conducive to steam condensation; 3) the steam recovery device can be arranged on different sides of the steam box according to the user's placement requirements.

[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 18 is connected to the water inlet pipe 7, so that one less hole can be opened in the lower part of the bucket, and Example 2 can also be modified to this structure.

[0032] The utility model provides three embodiments, which are respectively applicable to steamer users and manufacturers. Aiming at the problems in the evaporation process of flower steamed buns, three solutions with the same idea but different structures are provided, which are applicable to the improvement of new steamers and the transformation of existing steamers.
