[0022] The embodiment of the utility model provides a steamer device for an abalone feed production line, which not only has high space utilization and reduced energy consumption, but also is easy to clean, thereby achieving rapid cleaning and efficient steaming operations, and ensuring the production quality of abalone feed.

[0023] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention is to solve the above problems. The overall idea is as follows: the cooking box of the abalone feed production line is used as the basic frame of the entire device, and the interior of the cooking box is the cooking area; the cooking conveyor belt is responsible for carrying and transporting the abalone feed through the entire cooking area; the liftable side walls are located on both sides of the cooking box, which descend during cooking to form a closed environment to prevent steam leakage; and rise during cleaning to facilitate flushing of the conveyor belt; the water collection tank is located at the bottom of the cooking box, which is used to collect wastewater generated during the cleaning process and introduce it into the sewer pipe, so that it can be automatically drained.

[0024] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the steamer equipment of the abalone feed production line of the present invention includes a cooking box 1, a cooking conveyor belt 2, a steam generator 3 and a lifting drive device 4;

[0026] The cooking conveyor belt 2 is arranged in the cooking box 1 in a multi-layer zigzag structure. When the upper cooking conveyor belt 2 transports the abalone feed to the end, the abalone feed automatically falls onto the lower cooking conveyor belt 2 due to its own weight, and is preferably sent out of the cooking box 1 by the bottom cooking conveyor belt 2 to arrive at the next step. This prolongs the time the abalone feed stays in the cooking box, thereby enabling more abalone feed to be in the cooking area, thereby reducing the length of the cooking box, reducing the occupied area of ​​the cooking box, and reducing energy consumption. Since the abalone feed arriving in the abalone feed cooking box 1 is a tablet-molded abalone feed, it will not disperse when it automatically falls.

[0027] The steam outlet of the steam generator 3 is connected to the steam nozzle 31 in the cooking box 1; the steam nozzle 31 is arranged below each layer of the cooking conveyor belt 2, and can transport steam from bottom to top to heat and cook the abalone feed on the cooking conveyor belt 2.

[0028] The cooking box 1 includes a fixed bottom plate 11, two side walls 12, a top cover 13, a front cover 14, and a rear cover 15; the fixed bottom plate 11 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the cooking box 1 and is located below the cooking conveyor belt 2; the two side walls 12 are liftably mounted on the left and right sides of the cooking box 1 and are connected to the lifting drive device 4; the top cover 13 covers the top of the cooking box 1; the front cover 14 is mounted at the front end of the cooking box 1 and defines a feeding port; the rear cover 15 is mounted at the rear end of the cooking box 1 and defines a discharging port;

[0029] Driven by the lifting drive device 4, the two side walls 12 can completely expose the cooking conveyor belt 2 when they rise to the highest point, and can laterally close the cooking conveyor belt 2 together with the fixed bottom plate 11 and the top cover 13 when they fall to the lowest point.

[0030] Among them, the side wall 12 is connected by multiple wall panels 121 to form a segmented structure to reduce the area and weight of each wall panel 121. Each wall panel 121 is driven to rise and fall by a lifting drive device 4, which is beneficial for processing on the one hand and lifting and segmented cleaning on the other hand.

[0031] The present invention further comprises a plurality of high-pressure nozzles 16, which are arranged in the cooking box 1. Thus, the inner wall of the cooking box 1 and the cooking conveyor belt 2 can be automatically flushed in advance by the high-pressure nozzles 16.

[0032] The lifting drive device 4 includes a nut 41, a screw 42, and a motor 43. The nut 41 is fixedly connected to the lowering side wall 12. The upper end of the screw 42 is screwed to the nut 41, and the lower end is connected to the motor 43. In addition, a protective cover 44 can be installed on the outside of the lifting drive device 4 to prevent dust and ensure safe production.

[0033] The present invention further comprises a water collecting tank 5 , which is arranged below the fixed bottom plate 11 and is connected to the wastewater recovery system of the plant.

[0034] The working process and working principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0035] S1: Check whether the equipment is in good condition and confirm that the power is on;

[0036] S2: setting the cooking temperature and the running speed of the cooking conveyor belt 22;

[0037] S3: Start the steam generator 3 and continuously inject steam into the cooking box 11 through the steam nozzle 31, and start the conveyor belt operation at the same time. The top cooking conveyor belt 2 receives the abalone feed pressed into sheets by the tablet press, and transmits it layer by layer to the bottom cooking conveyor belt 2 and then sends it to the outside of the cooking box 11 to reach the next process, realizing the assembly line production of steaming while conveying;

[0038] S4: After production is complete, the cleaning mode is activated. The high-pressure nozzles 16 in the cooking chamber 1 automatically flush the inner walls of the cooking chamber 1 and the cooking conveyor belt 2 along a designated path. The side walls 12 are then raised to their highest point, and an external high-pressure water jet is used to clean any remaining corners. Alternatively, after production is complete, the side walls 12 are raised to their highest point and cleaned with an external high-pressure water jet.

[0039] S5: After cleaning, turn off the water source and wait for the device to dry naturally or enable the drying function;

[0040] S6: Repeat the above process to carry out the operation of the next batch.

[0041] The steamer equipment of the abalone feed production equipment, by arranging a cooking conveyor belt 22 within its cooking chamber 11, can steam and convey the feed simultaneously, forming a continuous production line and improving work efficiency. The cooking conveyor belt 2 is arranged in a multi-layer zigzag structure within the cooking chamber 1, thereby allowing more abalone feed to be placed in the cooking area, extending the cooking time of the abalone feed, thereby reducing the length of the cooking chamber, reducing the occupied area of ​​the cooking chamber, and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the side walls 1212 of the steamer are liftable, allowing a good sealing effect to be formed when the steam is in the cooking state, thereby preventing steam loss. When the steam is in the cleaning state, the side walls 1212 can be quickly opened, facilitating multi-directional flushing of the cooking conveyor belt 22 by the staff, greatly simplifying the cleaning process and reducing operational difficulty and maintenance costs. In addition, the water collection tank 53 configured at the bottom not only helps collect and remove clean water, but also prevents ground pollution, meeting environmental protection requirements. This unique design concept not only improves the production environment, but also lays a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the enterprise.
