Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of konjac processing, in particular to a konjac puffing tank with an explosion-proof structure. Background Technique

[0002] In the processing of konjac food, konjac powder is formed after konjac is steamed, sliced and ground. After adding water, the konjac powder can be quickly expanded into a gel state by heating and high pressure, which can change the structure of konjac and endow it with special taste and edible characteristics. The puffed konjac is often used to make foods such as konjac silk, konjac powder, konjac balls, etc., and is usually used as a low-calorie, high-fiber healthy food, which is suitable for some special dietary needs or weight-loss diets.

[0003] When the existing konjac puffing tank is in use, the rapid expansion of konjac powder will cause the pressure inside the puffing tank to increase rapidly. However, the konjac puffing tank lacks an effective explosion-proof structure, so there is a safety hazard of explosion during the heating and puffing process, which is likely to cause serious accidents. At the same time, because the konjac powder is in a gel state after puffing, its viscosity increases, it is easy to adhere to the inner wall of the puffing tank, resulting in waste of raw materials, and its fluidity decreases, making it inconvenient to discharge. Therefore, a konjac puffing tank with an explosion-proof structure is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a konjac puffing tank with an explosion-proof structure is provided. This technical solution solves the problems mentioned in the above background technique that when the existing konjac puffing tank is in use, the rapid expansion of konjac powder will cause the pressure inside the puffing tank to increase rapidly, and the konjac puffing tank lacks an effective explosion-proof structure, so there is a safety hazard of explosion during the heating and puffing process, which is likely to cause serious accidents. At the same time, because the konjac powder is in a gel state after puffing, its viscosity increases, it is easy to adhere to the inner wall of the puffing tank, resulting in waste of raw materials, and its fluidity decreases, making it inconvenient to discharge.

[0024] The following description is used to disclose the present utility model so that those skilled in the art can implement the present utility model. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a konjac puffing tank with an explosion-proof structure includes a tank body 1. An explosion-proof component 2 is provided at the front part of the upper end of the tank body 1. A feed pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the right part of the upper end of the tank body 1, and a feed valve 16 is arranged on the feed pipe 15. A water inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the upper end of the tank body 1, and a water valve 18 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 17. An air inlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the left part of the upper end of the tank body 1, and an air valve 20 is arranged on the air inlet pipe 19;

[0026] Among them, the explosion-proof component 2 includes a cylinder body 201 fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank body 1. A sliding cavity 202 is opened at the lower end of the cylinder body 201. A piston 203 is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity 202. A guide rod 204 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston 203. The other end of the guide rod 204 penetrates through the upper end of the cylinder body 201 and is fixedly connected to a limit block 205. A damping spring 206 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 204. An exhaust hole 207 is penetrated and opened on the outer surface of the cylinder body 201 near the top of the sliding cavity 202.

[0027] Furthermore, the feed pipe 15 is used to add konjac powder into the interior of the tank body 1. The water inlet pipe 17 is connected to a water source and is used to inject water into the interior of the tank body 1. The air inlet pipe 19 is used to convey high-pressure steam into the interior of the tank body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, during the puffing process of konjac powder, when the pressure inside the tank body 1 increases, the piston 203 will slide upward under the action of the pressure and compress the damping spring 206. When the pressure inside the tank body 1 reaches the critical value, the piston 203 will be pushed to the top of the sliding cavity 202. At this time, the exhaust hole 207 is located at the lower end of the piston 203, and the exhaust hole 207 is communicated with the inside of the tank body 1, so that the gas inside the tank body 1 can be discharged outward, which can prevent the tank body 1 from exploding due to excessive internal pressure. When the pressure inside the tank body 1 returns to normal, the piston 203 will reset under the action of the damping spring 206, thereby ensuring that the pressure value inside the tank body 1 meets the conditions required for the puffing of konjac powder.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a collecting hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the tank body 1, a discharge pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the collecting hopper 3, a discharge valve 5 is arranged on the discharge pipe 4, and three uniformly distributed legs 14 are fixedly connected to the lower edge of the collecting hopper 3.

[0030] Furthermore, a heat preservation layer 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the tank body 1, a heating plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat preservation layer 6, the heating plate 7 is used to heat the water inside the tank body 1, and the heat preservation layer 6 can reduce heat loss and improve the heating effect. When the temperature rises, the water begins to evaporate to form bubbles, and the konjac fiber expands rapidly under the action of heating and water vapor, forming a porous structure.

[0031] Furthermore, a forward and reverse motor 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the tank body 1. The output end of the forward and reverse motor 8 penetrates through the upper end of the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 9. A plurality of uniformly distributed stirring rods 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft 9 inside the tank body 1. An upper scraping plate 11 that fits the inner side of the heating plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring rod 10, and a lower scraping plate 12 that fits the inner wall of the collecting hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper scraping plate 11.

[0032] Furthermore, driving the drive shaft 9 to rotate through the forward and reverse motor 8 can drive the stirring rods 10 to stir the konjac powder, so that the konjac powder and water are fully mixed. At the same time, it can drive the upper scraping plate 11 and the lower scraping plate 12 to scrape the konjac gel attached to the inner wall of the tank body 1 and the inner wall of the collecting hopper 3 after puffing, thereby improving the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0033] Furthermore, a spiral conveyor blade 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft 9 inside the collecting hopper 3 and the discharge pipe 4.

[0034] Further, when puffing the konjac powder, the forward and reverse motor 8 rotates forward, and the spiral conveying blade 13 will convey the konjac powder deposited in the aggregate hopper 3 upward, so that the konjac powder inside the tank body 1 can be evenly mixed. When discharging, the forward and reverse motor 8 rotates reversely, and the spiral conveying blade 13 will push the gel towards the direction of the discharge pipe 4, facilitating the discharge of the konjac gel.

[0035] Working principle: During use, konjac powder is added into the tank body 1 through the feed pipe 15, and then an appropriate amount of water is injected into the tank body 1 through the water inlet pipe 17. Then, the forward and reverse motor 8 rotates forward to drive the stirring rod 10 to stir the konjac powder, so that the konjac powder and water are fully mixed. At the same time, the heated konjac powder is heated by the heating plate 7 and high-pressure steam is conveyed into the tank body 1 through the air inlet pipe 19. When the temperature rises, the water begins to evaporate to form bubbles, and the konjac fibers are rapidly expanded under the action of heating and water vapor to form konjac gel. During the puffing process, when the pressure inside the tank body 1 increases, the piston 203 will slide upward under the action of the pressure to compress the damping spring 206. When the pressure inside the tank body 1 reaches the critical value, the piston 203 will be pushed to the top of the sliding cavity 202. At this time, the exhaust hole 207 is located at the lower end of the piston 203, and the exhaust hole 207 is communicated with the inside of the tank body 1, so that the gas inside the tank body 1 is discharged outward, which can prevent the tank body 1 from exploding due to excessive internal pressure. When the pressure inside the tank body 1 returns to normal, the piston 203 will reset under the action of the damping spring 206, thereby ensuring that the pressure value inside the tank body 1 meets the conditions required for the puffing of the konjac powder. After puffing, the discharge valve 5 is opened, and the konjac gel is discharged through the discharge pipe 4. At this time, the forward and reverse motor 8 rotates reversely, and the upper scraping plate 11 and the lower scraping plate 12 will scrape the konjac gel adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 1 and the inner wall of the aggregate hopper 3 after puffing, thereby improving the utilization rate of the raw materials. The spiral conveying blade 13 will push the gel towards the direction of the discharge pipe 4, facilitating the discharge of the konjac gel.
