Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of popcorn, in particular to a popcorn production device for improving production efficiency. Background Art
[0002] A popcorn machine is a commonly used popcorn production device. The working principle of the popcorn machine is based on the changes in heating and pressure. When the popcorn machine is powered on, the heating element (such as a heating plate or an electric heating tube) starts to work, heating the corn kernels in the container. As the heat conducts, the moisture inside the corn kernels evaporates to form water vapor, causing the internal pressure to gradually increase. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the corn kernels burst instantly to form popcorn.
[0003] In the prior art, the popcorn inside is generally poured out by flipping the popcorn machine. However, the position where the popcorn machine flips each time is the same, resulting in the poured popcorn accumulating in one place. After accumulating to a certain height, it will affect the flipping of the popcorn machine, and then it is impossible to continue producing popcorn, affecting the production efficiency of popcorn. For this reason, we propose a popcorn production device for improving production efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
