[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in addition to the steam device, including a steam extractor 1 and a condenser 2;
[0038] The steam extractor 1 is installed on the body of the noodle cooking chamber. Among them, the air inlet of the steam extractor 1 is in communication with the noodle cooking chamber, and the steam extractor 1 is used to extract the steam in the noodle cooking chamber to the outside of the noodle cooking chamber;
[0039] The condenser 2 is installed on the body of the noodle cooking chamber, the air outlet of the steam extractor 1 faces the condenser 2, and the condenser 2 is used to condense the steam extracted by the steam extractor 1 into water.
[0040] The self-service noodle cooker performs noodle cooking work in the noodle cooking chamber. During the noodle cooking process, a large amount of steam is generated. The steam not only corrodes the cabinet body, but also poses a risk of high temperature when the user takes the noodles in the noodle cooking chamber. Therefore, by setting up a steam extraction machine 1, during the noodle cooking process, the steam in the noodle cooking chamber is extracted, so as to achieve the effect of discharging the steam in the noodle cooking chamber. It should be noted here that the extracted steam is outside the noodle cooking chamber but still inside the cabinet of the entire self-service noodle cooker. If the steam is directly extracted outside the cabinet of the self-service noodle cooker, it is likely to cause harm to the personnel or other items outside the cabinet. The steam extraction machine 1 directly blows the steam extracted from the noodle cooking chamber onto the condensation part 2. After the steam contacts the condensation part 2, it condenses into water, so as to achieve the effect of directly removing the steam. This steam removal device can extract the steam in the noodle cooking chamber through the steam extraction machine 1 and blow the steam onto the condensation part 2 to condense the steam into water, thereby solving the steam generated during the noodle cooking process, effectively protecting the cabinet body from being corroded by the steam, and at the same time, preventing the high temperature risk in the noodle cooking chamber.
[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a first water receiving tray 3;
[0042] The first water receiving tray 3 is installed in the noodle cooking chamber;
[0043] The first water receiving tray 3 is located below the condensation part 2, and the first water receiving tray 3 is used to collect the water that drops from the bottom of the condensation part 2.
[0044] By setting the first water receiving tray 3 below the condensation part 2, the first water receiving tray 3 can collect the water that drops from the bottom of the condensation part 2, and can prevent the water droplets from falling on other parts of the cabinet body and causing damage to the equipment.
[0045] Furthermore, the first water receiving tray 3 is provided with a water outlet 301; a drain pipe (the drain pipe is not shown in the figure) is connected to the water outlet 301, and the drain pipe is used to discharge the water on the first water receiving tray 3 into the built-in refrigeration module 4 of the self-service noodle cooker.
[0046] The drain pipe discharges the water in the first water receiving tray 3 through the water outlet 301 and introduces it into the built-in refrigeration module 4 of the self-service noodle cooker. The purpose is to be able to discharge the water in the first water receiving tray 3 in real time. Therefore, there is no need to deal with the water in the first water receiving tray 3 additionally; and it should be noted here that the built-in refrigeration module 4 of the self-service noodle cooker has the function of processing water; that is to say, only the water in the first water receiving tray 3 needs to be introduced into the refrigeration module 4, and there is no need to additionally increase the cost to add other water treatment devices.
[0047] Furthermore, the refrigeration module 4 includes a second water receiving tray 401, a compressor 402 and a copper pipe 403;
[0048] The second water receiving tray 401 is installed on the cabinet of the self-service noodle cooker;
[0049] The drain pipe is used to direct water into the second water receiving tray 401;
[0050] The compressor 402 is installed on the second water receiving tray 401;
[0051] One end of the copper pipe 403 is connected to the compressor 402, the other end of the copper pipe 403 penetrates through the second water receiving tray 401, and the copper pipe 403 is used for heating by the compressor 402 to evaporate the water on the second water receiving tray 401.
[0052] The water in the first water receiving tray 3 is introduced into the second water receiving tray 401; the compressor 402 heats the copper pipe 403, and the water in the second water receiving tray 401 contacts the heated copper pipe 403 and then evaporates into gas and emits out.
[0053] Further, the condensing member 2 is a condensing plate, and the condensing plate bulges outward or depresses inward to form a rib or a groove on the side facing the air outlet of the steam extractor 1.
[0054] The condensing plate bulges outward or depresses inward to form a rib or a groove on the side facing the air outlet of the steam extractor 1. The purpose is to increase the contact area between the condensing plate and the steam and strengthen the steam condensation effect. In this embodiment, the scheme of bulging outward to form a rib is adopted, and the rib and the condensing plate are integrally formed; in other embodiments, the condensing plate adopts the scheme of depressing inward to form a groove. In other embodiments, the condensing member 2 can also adopt the scheme of a condensing pipe, and the effect can reach an effect similar to that of the condensing plate.
[0055] Further, the condensing member 2 is a condensing plate, and the condensing plate bulges outward to form a rib and depresses inward to form a groove on the side facing the air outlet of the steam extractor 1.
[0056] The condensing plate bulges outward to form a rib and depresses inward to form a groove on the side facing the air outlet of the steam extractor 1. The purpose is to increase the contact area between the condensing plate and the steam and strengthen the steam condensation effect. In this embodiment, the condensing plate adopts the scheme that part of it bulges outward to form a rib and the other part depresses inward to form a groove.
[0057] Further, the steam extractor 1 includes a dehumidifying fan 101 and a steam extraction fan 102.
[0058] Further, a part of the condensing member 2 is located outside the noodle cooking chamber, and the other part of the condensing member 2 penetrates through the body of the noodle cooking chamber and extends into the noodle cooking chamber.
[0059] Further, the condensing member 2 is located outside the noodle cooking chamber.
