Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vermicelli processing, and particularly relates to vermicelli steaming equipment. Background Art

[0002] Vermicelli noodles are a traditional specialty food made from sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other raw materials. After grinding and settling, they are processed into dried, shredded strips. Each region of China has its own unique production process. The finished vermicelli noodles are off-white, yellow, or tan in color and can be categorized by shape, such as round, thin, and wide. The production process includes steaming, cooling, cutting, and packaging. For wide vermicelli noodles, steaming involves extruding them through an extruder and then cooking them in a pot to set their shape and mature. A variety of different vermicelli steaming equipment structures are currently available.

[0003] A search revealed patent number CN202120444430.8, which describes a vermicelli maturation mechanism comprising a maturation chamber, a vermicelli transmission mechanism, a conveyor belt traction group A, a conveyor belt traction group B, a conveyor belt pressure roller A, and a conveyor belt pressure roller B. The conveyor belt traction group A and the conveyor belt traction group B are respectively disposed at the ends of the maturation chamber, with the conveyor belt pressure rollers A and B located on the inner sides of the chamber. The conveyor belt corresponding to the vermicelli transmission mechanism passes through the conveyor belt traction groups A and B. The maturation chamber is filled with cooking water, and the conveyor belt is pressed down into the cooking water by the conveyor belt pressure rollers A and B. The conveyor belt traction groups A, B, the conveyor belt pressure rollers A, and the conveyor belt pressure rollers B act on the edges of the conveyor belt of the vermicelli transmission mechanism. The vermicelli maturation mechanism described in this patent allows for full maturation of vermicelli, consumes less energy during operation, reduces heat loss from the cooking water, and reduces the cost of maturation.

[0004] In actual use of the existing technology, after vermicelli is matured in boiling hot water, it needs to be immediately placed in cold water for cooling to ensure the chewy taste of the vermicelli and achieve the ideal maturation effect. The above-mentioned vermicelli maturation device lacks a cooling mechanism, so an improved vermicelli steaming equipment is designed. Utility Model Content

In this way, the utilization rate of water resources in the cooling box 2 is improved. Compared with transporting room temperature water into the maturation box 1, the energy required for heating the water in the maturation box 1 can be saved.

[0034] The cooling mechanism further includes a water inlet assembly, which includes a first water pump 23 . The water inlet pipe 232 of the first water pump 23 is connected to an external water source, and the water outlet pipe 231 of the first water pump 23 is connected to the cooling box 2 .

[0038] Working principle: The vermicelli extrusion mechanism 3 extrude vermicelli into the maturation box 1, and the vermicelli falls on the first conveying device 11 and is heated and matured in a boiling water bath in the maturation box 1. The matured vermicelli is directly conveyed to the cooling box 2 by the first conveying device 11 for water cooling, thereby improving the taste of the vermicelli. The cooling box 2 is supplied with cold water required for water cooling through the first water pump 23. After long-term use, the cold water in the cooling box 2 contacts the matured vermicelli and becomes hot, and the cooling effect cannot be achieved. It needs to be replaced.
