Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a steam-type drum pepper cooking machine. Background Art

[0002] Chili pepper is loved by consumers for its unique spicy taste and is an indispensable vegetable and condiment in people's lives.

[0003] During food production and processing, food raw materials are usually processed. Chili peppers are a commonly used food raw material. There are many ways to process chili peppers, such as frying, stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, and boiling. Different processing methods produce different tastes. Boiling chili peppers can reduce the spiciness and enhance the flavor. At the same time, boiling chili peppers can prevent the chili peppers from becoming burnt during the frying process, which affects the taste and color of the chili oil. In addition, boiling chili peppers helps to extract the aroma of the chili peppers, making the chili oil more fragrant. After boiling, the oil in the chili peppers is easier to extract. Therefore, boiling chili peppers is a common chili processing method used in food processing plants.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, a steam-type mesh drum 2 pepper cooking machine includes a frame 1, a heating tank 14 is provided on the frame 1, a heating pipe 22 is provided inside the heating tank 14, a mesh drum 2 is horizontally arranged above, and the bottom of the mesh drum 2 is located in the heating tank 14, both ends of the mesh drum 2 are rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and a spiral blade 7 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the mesh drum 2, one end of the mesh drum 2 is a feeding end, and the other end is a discharging end. A loading mechanism is provided on the side of the frame 1 corresponding to the feeding end of the mesh drum 2, and a discharging conveying mechanism is provided on the side of the frame 1 corresponding to the discharging end of the mesh drum 2; a power mechanism is provided on the frame 1, and one end of the mesh drum 2 is connected to the power transmission of the power mechanism; a spray pipe 8 is provided in the mesh drum 2 along its length direction, and one end of the spray pipe 8 is connected to a water pump 6, and the water inlet of the water pump 6 is connected to the heating tank 14.

[0036] The heating tank 14 is filled with water, which is heated by the water in the heating pipe 22. The bottom of the mesh drum 2 is immersed in water, and the hot water enters the mesh drum 2 through the mesh drum 2 to steam the peppers and water in the mesh drum 2. At the same time, the water pump 6 pumps the water in the heating tank 14 to the spray pipe 8, and sprays the peppers inside the drum through the spray pipe 8, so that the peppers on the top are in contact with the hot water, ensuring that the peppers are heated evenly; the peppers are transported from the feed end to the mesh drum 2 through the feeding mechanism, and the heated peppers are output from the discharge end of the mesh drum 2 and fall onto the discharge conveying mechanism, and are transported to subsequent processing equipment by the discharge conveying mechanism; the mesh drum 2 is driven to rotate on the frame 1 by the power mechanism, and then the peppers inside the mesh drum 2 are turned over and moved. In addition, the servo motor 5 can control the mesh drum 2 to rotate forward or reverse, thereby adjusting the time the peppers stay in the mesh drum 2, thereby adjusting the heating time of the peppers.

[0037] The peppers are transported by arranging spiral blades 7 on the inner wall of the mesh drum 2 instead of using a shaft auger, thereby preventing the peppers that have just entered the mesh drum 2 from being squeezed and damaged by the auger, which is conducive to ensuring the integrity of the peppers.

[0038] The heating groove 14 is an arc-shaped groove, and the curvature is the same as that of the mesh drum 2 .

[0039] The arc groove has higher structural strength than the traditional square groove. It is not easy to deform when the arc groove is filled with water. The water storage inside the arc groove is less than that of the square groove, which can save heating time and reduce energy consumption. In addition, the arc groove matches the side wall of the mesh drum 2, which ensures full contact with the peppers while reducing water consumption, thereby reducing the energy consumed by the heating tube 22 to heat the water.

[0040] The power mechanism is a servo motor 5. A gear ring 4 is fixedly provided at one end of the mesh drum 2. The servo motor 5 is provided at a position corresponding to the gear ring 4 on the frame 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 5 is connected to a driving wheel. The driving wheel and the gear ring 4 are connected by a chain.

[0041] The gear ring 4 at the end of the mesh drum 2 is connected to the driving wheel of the output shaft of the servo motor 5 through a chain, so that the servo motor 5 can drive the gear ring 4 to rotate, and further drive the mesh drum 2 to rotate.

[0042] Support cylinders 3 are provided at both ends of the mesh drum 2. Two roller groups 15 that cooperate with the outer wall of the support cylinder 3 are provided at the positions corresponding to the support cylinders 3 on the frame 1. The roller group 15 includes a mounting plate 1501. Two parallel positioning plates 1502 are vertically arranged on the mounting plate 1501. A first rotating shaft 1503 is provided between the two positioning plates 1502. A roller 1504 is provided on the first rotating shaft 1503, and the roller 1504 is against the outer wall of the support cylinder 3.

[0043] The roller 1504 rests against the outer wall of the support cylinder 3, so that when the support cylinder 3 rotates with the mesh drum 2, the roller 1504 used to support the drum moves with the support cylinder 3. The support cylinder 3 is supported and positioned by two roller groups 15, which can not only ensure the stability of the support structure but also facilitate the rotation of the mesh drum 2.

[0044] A water supply pipe 21 and a drain pipe 20 are provided on the side wall of the heating tank 14 .

[0045] The water supply pipe 21 is used to add water to the heating tank 14, and the drain pipe 20 is used to drain the water in the heating tank 14. After the water is drained, it is convenient to maintain the heating tank 14.

[0046] A heat insulation cover 23 is provided on the frame 1 , and the mesh drum 2 is located inside the heat insulation cover 23 .

[0047] The heat insulation cover 23 reduces the heat loss in the mesh drum 2, thereby reducing energy consumption, preventing steam from affecting the safety of workers, and improving the safety of equipment use.

[0048] The water pump 6 is arranged on the frame 1 at a position corresponding to the inlet end of the mesh drum 2. The spray pipe 8 is arranged obliquely, and the horizontal position of one end of the spray pipe 8 close to the inlet end of the mesh drum 2 is higher than the other end.

[0049] Since the spray pipe 8 is relatively long, the spray pipe 8 is tilted to facilitate the water to flow to the other end of the spray pipe 8, thereby ensuring that all peppers can be sprinkled with hot water, ensuring that the peppers are heated evenly, and thus ensuring the quality of the product.

[0050] A waterproof cover 16 is provided on the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the servo motor 5 and the water pump 6 .

[0051] The waterproof cover plate 16 prevents water splashing from the mesh drum 2 from hitting the servo motor 5 or the water pump 6, thereby ensuring the normal use of the servo motor 5 and the water pump 6.

[0052] The feeding mechanism includes a hopper 9 , and an auger conveyor belt 10 is provided below the hopper 9 . The output end of the auger conveyor belt 10 is located at the inlet end of the mesh drum 2 .

[0053] Put the peppers in the hopper 9 and convey the peppers in the hopper 9 to the mesh drum 2 through the auger conveyor belt 10. Since there is a heating tank 14 under the mesh drum 2, the horizontal position of the mesh drum 2 is relatively high. If the peppers are added to the mesh drum 2 manually, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the work efficiency is very low. Therefore, the auger conveyor belt 10 can quickly add peppers and avoid the slippery skin of the peppers, which affects the adding efficiency.

[0054] The discharging conveying mechanism is a chain conveyor 11, on which a mounting frame 19 is provided, on which a distributor and a water pressure mechanism are provided;

[0055] The distributor includes a second rotating shaft 18, which is rotatably mounted on a mounting frame 19. One end of the second rotating shaft 18 is connected to a drive motor 17. A distribution blade 12 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 18, and a first gap is left between the distribution blade 12 and the chain conveyor.

[0056] The water pressure mechanism includes a roller 13 , which is rotatably mounted on a mounting frame 19 . A second gap is left between the roller 13 and the chain conveyor 11 , and the width of the second gap is smaller than that of the first gap.

[0057] The chain conveyor 11 is used so that part of the water carried away from the mesh drum 2 during the conveying process of the peppers can fall from the chain conveyor 11 under the action of gravity;

[0058] The peppers piled on the chain conveyor 11 are flattened by the distributor. When passing through the distributor, the peppers piled on the chain conveyor 11 pass through the first gap, and the peppers higher than the first gap will knock down the distribution blades 12 and be evenly flattened on the chain conveyor 11 by the distribution blades 12.

[0059] The peppers passing through the distributor continue to move along with the chain conveyor 11. When they move to the second gap, due to the smaller width of the second gap, the rollers 13 and the chain conveyor 11 cooperate to squeeze the peppers and squeeze out the moisture in the peppers.

[0060] During use, first, water is replenished in the heating tank 14 through the water replenishing pipe 21, so that the heating tank 14 is filled with water, and then the water is heated through the heating pipe 22. When heated to a suitable temperature, the peppers are placed in the hopper 9, and the peppers enter the auger conveyor belt 10 from the hopper 9, and are input into the mesh drum 2 from the feed end through the auger conveyor belt 10. At the same time, the servo motor 5 is started, and the servo motor 5 drives the mesh drum 2 to rotate, driving the peppers to flip and move in the mesh drum 2. Since the bottom of the mesh drum 2 is immersed in the water in the heating tank 14, the peppers come into contact with the water in the heating tank 14 while flipping, and the peppers are steamed by the water and the water vapor formed by the heated water. At the same time, the water pump 6 draws the water in the heating tank 14 out and transports it to the spray pipe 8, and the water is sprayed on the Spraying is performed inside the mesh drum 2 so that the peppers in the mesh drum 2 that have not been exposed to the water in the heating tank 14 can be sprayed with water by the spray pipe 8. When the peppers are steamed to an appropriate degree, the peppers are turned out of the mesh drum 2 from the discharge end as the mesh drum 2 rotates and fall onto the chain conveyor 11. Since the peppers are turned out of the mesh drum 2 in piles, they are also in piles when they fall onto the chain conveyor 11. While the peppers are moving on the chain conveyor 11, some water will drain out of the chain conveyor 11, and the pepper pile will contact the distributing blades 12, which will flatten the pepper pile on the chain conveyor 11. Then the peppers pass through the roller 13, and the water carried therein is squeezed out by the squeezing action of the roller 13 to facilitate the subsequent frying of the peppers.

[0061] In actual use, the heating tube 22 is a steam heating tube 22. The steam heater can quickly heat the water in the heating tank 14 by conduction or convection without causing any pollution, which is beneficial for use in food processing plants.

[0062] An adjustable foot cup is provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and the frame 1 and the mesh drum 2 on the frame 1 are kept in a horizontal state through the foot cup, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the mesh drum 2.

[0063] A lifting mechanism is provided on the mounting frame 19 , and the widths of the first gap and the second gap are adjusted by the lifting mechanism to meet different production requirements.

[0064] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to them. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model. The embodiments of the present utility model and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
