Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a dual-purpose bean soaking and steaming pot. Background Art

[0002] At present, on the market, cooking pots are widely used in the dairy industry, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, beverages and other industrial sectors, and cooking pots are used as necessary equipment for heating, heat preservation, sterilization or storage of slurry; in the food industry, they are widely used in the processing of candy, pharmaceuticals, dairy products, alcohol, cakes, preserves, beverages, canned or stewed foods; cooking pots are good equipment for food processing to improve food quality, shorten food preparation time and improve working conditions; but there are generally two types of cooking pots used for processing bean foods such as fermented black beans, soybeans or broad beans. One is an ordinary steaming pot, and the material will clump after steaming. The other is a high-pressure rotary steamer, which has a fast steaming time and high cost, and cannot well ensure the original flavor of the food; the processing of beans requires screening and cleaning, then soaking, and finally starting steaming. At present, the above two steamers cannot realize the integrated function of soaking and steaming beans. The single steaming function cannot make the bean food fully heated and steamed thoroughly; if the above two steamers are used to steam beans, the soybeans need to be soaked before being put into the steamer, which wastes manpower and time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-purpose steamer that can complete the soaking and steaming of beans efficiently and with high quality.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with application number 202021632499.5 and application date of 2020.08.07 is a utility model patent named "Soaking and steaming device for soybean paste production". Its technical solution is: A soaking and steaming device for soybean paste production includes a tank body, bearing seats are provided on both sides of the tank body, the tank body rotates against the bearing seats, a motor is provided on one side of the tank body, the motor output shaft is connected to the tank body, and the motor drives the tank body to rotate. A sensor is provided in the tank body to monitor the distance between the soybean plane and the horizontal plane in the tank body. The tank body is a sandwich structure, and a high-temperature medium is passed through the interlayer to heat the soybeans in the tank body. Pour soybeans into the tank to fill two-thirds of the tank, add clean water, and make sure the water level is 20cm higher than the soybean surface. Use the sensor to monitor the difference between the water level and the soybean surface and add clean water in time to ensure that the water completely covers the soybeans. When steaming, drain the water and close the valve and the upper cover. Let high-temperature steam flow through the heating interlayer of the tank. Heat transfer heats the soybeans, and the motor starts during the heating process.

[0004] It drives the entire tank to rotate forward and reverse, ensuring that the soybeans are heated evenly. There is no need to repeatedly invert the soybeans, making the operation more convenient and simple, and suitable for promotion and use.

[0005] The above patent achieves the technical effect of soaking and steaming soybeans, but the above patent has strict requirements on the environment inside the tank when heating and steaming the soybeans. The water supply pipe on the top of the tank body needs to be removed, and then steam is continuously input into the heating interlayer. Because the tank is a sealed environment, when the temperature of the heating interlayer rises, pressure is formed inside the tank body, and the pressure inside the tank body stabilizes, the soybeans can be evenly heated; the device of the above patent has the following disadvantages: first, when the pressure in the pressure tank is not fully formed in the early stage, the soybeans are not heated evenly, which has an adverse effect on the final cooking effect of the soybeans; second, when the pressure in the pressure tank is not fully formed in the early stage, in order to ensure that the soybeans are heated evenly, the tank body needs to be rotated frequently, which causes great damage to the soybean food itself; finally, in order to ensure the sealed pressure environment in the tank, the water supply pipe needs to be frequently plugged and unplugged during the soaking and steaming process, making the process itself more cumbersome and complicated.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] Based on the second embodiment, the working principle of the present invention is as follows: when beans need to be soaked and steamed, the cover of the feed port 3 is opened to add beans into the tank body, and then liquid is input from the liquid-gas input port 10. The liquid passes through the rotary joint 8 and enters the cavity of the support shaft 13, and then flows out from the through hole 22 of the support shaft 13 to reach the liquid-gas input pipe 12. The liquid-gas input pipe 12 inputs the liquid into the steam interlayer 11. At this time, since the drainage valve 16 of the drainage structure is in a closed state, the water level gradually rises from the steam interlayer 11 to the steaming grid 14. When the required water level is reached, the water supply is stopped and the beans begin to be soaked. When the beans are soaked for the required time and soaking degree, Open the drain valve 16 to start draining. After the water is completely drained, close the drain valve 16 and the soaking process is completed. Use the rotating mechanism to rotate the tank body at an appropriate angle so that the beans are evenly spread on the steaming grid 14, and then stop rotating. At this time, steam starts to be input from the liquid-gas input port 10. The position where the steam passes is the same as the position where the liquid enters. The steam enters the steam interlayer 11 and gradually fills the steam interlayer 11. The steam passes through the steaming grid 14 to steam the beans, and then the steam is discharged from the exhaust port. In order to prevent the beans from clumping during the steaming process, the rotating mechanism can be used to occasionally rotate the tank body. When the beans are steamed to the desired maturity, the steam input is stopped and the steaming process is completed.

[0045] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the present application, but the embodiment is not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications completed under the technical spirit suggested by the present application should fall within the scope of the patent covered by the present application.
