Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a device for processing blanching-free frozen instant beans. Background Art

[0002] The blanching-free frozen instant bean product uses high-temperature steam to instantly penetrate the beans, achieving rapid greening and preliminary ripening to retain the natural color and taste of the beans; the beans are then rapidly cooled to an ultra-low temperature to ensure that the moisture in them forms tiny ice crystals, thereby maintaining the integrity of the beans' cell structure; the beans made in this way not only retain the natural deliciousness and nutritional value of the beans, but also have the characteristics of convenience and health, becoming a new favorite on the tables of modern consumers.

[0003] In the process of heating beans, the beans are usually poured into a heating tank, and then high-temperature steam is used to heat the beans until they are cooked; however, if the beans are heated unevenly during heating, some areas may be overcooked while other areas are not fully cooked, which not only affects the overall taste of the beans, but also requires additional screening and rework to remove undercooked or overcooked beans, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, a processing device is needed to improve the uniformity of bean heating. Utility Model Content

[0008] Optionally, the stirring shaft is provided with stirring blades, and the stirring blades abut against the inner wall of the heating tank.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the stirring shaft, the stirring blades can bring the beans on the edge of the inner wall of the heating tank into the steam flow, thereby eliminating the heating dead corners and improving the uniform heating effect of the beans in the heating tank.

[0010] Optionally, the stirring shaft is connected to the stirring blade via a connecting rod, the connecting rod is provided with a third steam channel connected to the first steam channel, the outer wall of the connecting rod is provided with a third air outlet, and the third air outlet is connected to the third steam channel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a baffle, it is possible to reduce the situation where the steam ejected from the first steam channel and the steam ejected from the second steam channel heat the beans at the same time, further reduce the situation where the beans between the stirring shaft and the stirring shaft close to the second steam channel of the heating tank are overheated, and improve the heating effect of the beans in the heating tank.

[0018] Optionally, the top wall of the heating tank is provided with an exhaust pipe, the inner wall of the exhaust pipe is provided with a condensation plate, and the heating tank is provided with a water collecting tank connected to the exhaust tank.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the steam inside the heating tank is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe, the condensation plate can condense it into liquid and flow it into the water collecting tank, thereby reducing the situation where the steam is directly discharged to the outside and causes burns to the staff.

[0024] 2. By setting up an exhaust pipe, the steam inside the heating tank is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe. The condensation plate can condense it into liquid and flow it into the water collecting tank, thereby reducing the possibility of scalding to the staff caused by direct discharge of steam to the outside.

The frame 1 is placed on the ground and is installed with a cylinder 11. The movable plug of the cylinder 11 is provided with a connecting block 13, and the connecting block 13 is slidably installed on the frame 1; both ends of the heating tank 2 are provided with half rings 12, one of the half rings 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the other half ring 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 13; the axial direction of the heating tank 2 under normal conditions is in the same direction as the horizontal direction of the ground; the heating tank 2 is provided with a feeding pipe 21 and a discharging pipe 22, and the discharging pipe 22 is located at the end of the heating tank 2 away from the cylinder 11.

[0032] When the beans in the heating tank 2 are completely heated, the cylinder 11 is used to lift one end of the heating tank 2 toward the side away from the ground, so that the heating tank 2 is tilted and the discharge pipe 22 is tilted toward the side of the ground, so as to pour the beans in the heating tank 2 to the outside.

[0033] A motor 23 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the heating tank 2, and a first gear 24 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 23. The stirring structure 3 is provided with a second gear 25, and the first gear 24 and the second gear 25 are meshed. Starting the motor 23 can make the stirring structure 3 rotate in the stirring tank to stir the beans.

[0034] An exhaust pipe 4 is arranged on the top of the heating tank 2. A bending pipe 41 is integrally formed at one end of the exhaust pipe 4 away from the heating tank 2. The bending pipe 41 is arranged to be inclined downward, and a condensation plate is arranged inside the bending pipe 41. A water collecting tank 42 is arranged on the outer wall of the heating tank 2, and the bending pipe 41 is connected to the water collecting tank 42.

[0035] When the steam inside the heating tank 2 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 4, the condensation plate can condense it into liquid and flow it into the water collecting tank 42, thereby reducing the situation where the steam is directly discharged to the outside and causes burns to the staff; and the downward inclined setting of the bending pipe 41 can reduce the situation where the condensed water returns to the inside of the heating tank 2 through the exhaust pipe 4.
