Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pumpkin steaming, and particularly relates to a pumpkin steaming device. Background Art

[0002] Pumpkins belong to the genus Cucurbita of the Cucurbitaceae family and have a long cultivation history. They are distributed all over the world. The fruits are usually orange-yellow, but there are also diverse skin colors such as green, white, and even dark purple. Their sizes and shapes vary greatly, from small enough to be held in the palm to weighing up to hundreds of pounds, and their shapes range from nearly spherical to oblong. In the culinary field, pumpkins are rich in nutrients and are a healthy food with low calories and high fiber. Whether made into sweet and delicate pumpkin pies, added to soups to enhance the rich flavor, or baked or steamed as part of the staple food, pumpkins can win the favor of diners with their unique sweetness and dense texture.

[0003] Currently, most of the pumpkin steaming processes rely on traditional steaming box equipment. To ensure the integrity of the pumpkin's appearance during steaming, chefs often choose the method of steaming the whole pumpkin with the skin on. Since the working principle of the steaming box is to indirectly heat the food through water vapor, the heat transfer efficiency is reduced, and it takes more time to steam the pumpkin, increasing the energy consumption. After steaming, there is also a risk when cutting the pumpkin. The pumpkin becomes extremely hot under high temperature. Even when wearing protective gloves, there are still significant safety hazards when cutting the pumpkin to release the heat and high pressure accumulated inside, and it is also easy to damage the original structure of the pumpkin. How to invent a pumpkin steaming device to improve these problems has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To make up for the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a pumpkin steaming device, aiming to improve the problems of low efficiency in heating pumpkins through water vapor and potential safety hazards when cutting a whole pumpkin.

[0024] Example, refer to Figures 1-7, a pumpkin steaming device, comprising a plurality of vertical frames 1. The tops of the plurality of vertical frames 1 are fixedly connected with a heating box 9. The top of the heating box 9 is fixedly connected with a steaming box 2. A plurality of steaming cylinders 5 are arranged inside the steaming box 2. The outer sidewalls of two of the steaming cylinders 5 are fixedly connected with a fixing frame 4. The sidewall of the fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected with a cylinder cover 3. The plurality of steaming cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to each other through cylinder brackets 6. The top of the heating box 9 is fixedly connected with a box cover 10. The top of the box cover 10 is fixedly connected with a plurality of cylinder seats 11. The sidewalls of two of the vertical frames 1 are fixedly connected with a plurality of motor brackets 18. The ends of the plurality of motor brackets 18 are fixedly connected with a servo motor 12. The output shaft of the servo motor 12 is fixedly connected with a threaded shaft 13. The outer sidewall of the threaded shaft 13 is rotationally connected with a threaded sleeve 14 through a thread. The outer sidewall of the threaded sleeve 14 is fixedly sleeved with a pressing plate 15. The bottom of the pressing plate 15 is fixedly connected with a plurality of cutting knives 17. A heating mechanism is arranged inside the heating box 9. The sidewall of the cylinder cover 3 is fixedly connected with a handle 7, which is convenient for taking the steaming cylinder 5. The bottom of the steaming cylinder 5 is arranged in an arc shape, fitting the shape of the bottom of the pumpkin. The bottom of the steaming cylinder 5 is provided with a first knife groove 8. The top of the box cover 10 is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide plates 19 and sleeve 23. The sleeve 23 is communicated with the box cover 10. The sleeve 23 is rotationally connected with the outer sidewall of the threaded shaft 13. The sidewall of the guide plate 19 is slidably arranged with the pressing plate 15. A second knife groove 20 and a water inlet 21 are arranged inside the box cover 10. The number of the second knife grooves 20 is the same as that of the steaming cylinders 5. The top of the pressing plate 15 is fixedly connected with a plurality of strengthening brackets 16. The plurality of strengthening brackets 16 are fixedly connected with the threaded sleeve 14, providing support for the stability of the cutting knives 17. The bottom of the cutting knives 17 is provided with a plurality of cutting edges 22. The shape of the cutting edges 22 is an acute angle, preventing the cutting knives 17 from crushing the pumpkin when cutting the pumpkin. By driving the threaded shaft 13 to rotate through the servo motor 12, the threaded sleeve 14, the pressing plate 15, and the cutting knives 17 move downward, and the cutting knives 17 cut the pumpkin below, avoiding the danger generated by cutting the pumpkin at high temperature and simplifying the process of manual cutting. The pumpkin is in the gaps of the cutting edges 22, reducing the deformation of the pumpkin and avoiding the damage of the internal structure. The heating mechanism includes a plurality of heating tubes 25 fixedly connected to the sidewall of the heating box 9. A motor shaft opening is arranged at the center of the bottom of the heating box 9. The motor shaft opening is fixedly connected with a circular retaining ring 24.

The shape of the pressing plate 15 covers the openings at the tops of the plurality of steaming cylinders 5, providing a relatively sealed environment for the steaming cylinders 5. When the cutting knives 17 move to contact the water in the heating box 9, the water is heated and the cutting knives 17 are heated at the same time. The cutting knives 17 heat the pumpkin at a short distance. Compared with heating the pumpkin by water vapor, the heat transfer efficiency is increased, the heating speed of the pumpkin is improved, the heating time is saved, and the energy consumption is reduced.

[0025] Working principle of the pumpkin steaming device: Fill the heating tank 9 with water from the water inlet 21, place the spherical pumpkins into multiple steaming cylinders 5, then push the multiple steaming cylinders 5 into the steaming box 2, and close the inlet of the steaming cylinder 5 with the cylinder cover 3. Start the servo motor 12. The output shaft of the servo motor 12 rotates to drive the threaded shaft 13 to rotate. Through the constraint of the guide plate 19 on the pressing plate 15, the pressing plate 15 can only move up and down. Driven by the threaded shaft 13, the threaded sleeve 14 moves downward together with the pressing plate 15. The pressing plate 15 drives the cutting knife 17 to move downward, and the cutting knife 17 cuts the pumpkins below. The pressing plate 15 stops when it is about to contact the upper part of the steaming cylinder 5. The cutting edge 22 of the cutting knife 17 passes through the first knife groove 8 and the second knife groove 20 and contacts the water in the heating tank 9. At this time, the cutting knife 17 completes the cutting of the pumpkins. The heating tube 25 heats the water in the heating tank 9 and heats the cutting knife 17 at the same time. The cutting knife 17 heats the pumpkins at a short distance, improving the heating speed of the pumpkins.
