Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a noodle steamer. Background Art
[0002] Sweet noodle sauce, also known as sweet bean paste, is a traditional sauce-like condiment made primarily from flour through koji making and heat-insulated fermentation. It offers a sweet yet salty flavor, with a soy sauce and ester aroma. It's suitable for stir-fries and braised dishes. Steaming the flour is a key step in the production of sweet noodle sauce. This is typically done using a noodle steamer, which continuously steams the flour while also ensuring uniform mixing during the cooking process.
[0003] When steaming flour, a screw conveyor is usually used to continuously transport the flour to the body of the noodle steamer. Since the temperature inside the body is high and contains water vapor, the flour easily clumps on the discharge pipe of the screw conveyor and needs to be cleaned regularly. During the cleaning process, both the noodle steamer and the screw conveyor need to be shut down, affecting production progress. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the present invention is a noodle steaming machine, comprising a machine body 1 and a screw conveyor 2 arranged on one side of the machine body 1. The machine body 1 comprises a base frame 11, a barrel 12, a stirring shaft 13 and a stirring motor 14. The barrel 12 is horizontally arranged on the base frame 11. A feed port is provided at the top of one end of the barrel 12, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the other end of the barrel 12. The stirring shaft 13 is arranged in the barrel 12, and the stirring motor 14 is installed at one end of the barrel 12 and can drive the stirring shaft 13 to rotate. The discharge pipe 21 of the screw conveyor 2 faces the feed port of the barrel 12. Two discharge pipes 21 are provided at the discharge end of the screw conveyor 2. An opening and closing member 3 for blocking one of the discharge pipes 21 is slidably installed between the two discharge pipes 21. A feed chamber 4 is provided on the feed port of the barrel 12. A material guide pipe 5 is detachably connected between the discharge pipe 21 and the feed chamber 4.
[0026] During operation, a guide tube 5 is installed between one of the discharge tubes 21 and the feed chamber 4, and the top end of the other discharge tube 21 is closed by the opening and closing member 3. At this time, the discharge tube 21 with the guide tube 5 installed is in working condition, while the other discharge tube 21 is in standby condition. When it is necessary to clean the discharge tube 21 and the guide tube 5, the spare guide tube 5 is installed between the feed chamber 4 and the discharge tube 21 in standby condition, and then the discharge tube 21 originally in working condition is blocked by the opening and closing member 3. At this time, flour will be transported from the other discharge tube 21 to the feed chamber 4 through the spare guide tube 5. The staff can remove the guide tube 5 originally in working condition for cleaning, and can also clean the discharge tube 21 originally in working condition.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the opening and closing member 3 includes an opening and closing plate 31. The opening and closing plate 31 is an arc-shaped plate that fits against the outer wall of the cylinder 12. A through opening 311 is provided in the middle of the opening and closing plate 31, and a toggle plate 32 is provided at both ends of the opening and closing plate 31. The toggle plate 32 toggles the opening and closing plate 31, so that the through opening 311 switches position as the opening and closing plate 31 moves, switching from aligning with one discharge pipe 21 to aligning with the other discharge pipe 21. To ensure the accuracy of the position of the through opening 311 after the opening and closing plate 31 moves, a magnetic sheet 321 is provided on the side of the two toggle plates 32 that are close to each other. When the magnetic sheet 321 is attracted to one discharge pipe 21, the through opening 311 is aligned with the other discharge pipe 21. The provision of the magnetic sheet 321 not only improves the accuracy of the position of the through opening 311, but also improves the stability of the opening and closing plate 31 after movement.
[0028] Reference Figure 5As shown, the material guide tube 5 includes a rigid section 52 and a flexible section 53. A first connecting plate 51 is welded to the rigid section 52, and a second connecting plate 211 is welded to the bottom end of the discharge tube 21. The first connecting plate 51 and the second connecting plate 211 are connected by multiple bolts (not shown in the figure) to achieve a detachable connection between the material guide tube 5 and the discharge tube 21; the flexible section 53 is connected to the end of the rigid section 52 away from the first connecting plate 51, and both sides of the feed chamber 4 are provided with a socket 41 for inserting the flexible section 53.
[0029] Furthermore, a blocking plate 42 is provided at the center of the top of the feed chamber 4. The blocking plate 42 is hingedly mounted on the feed chamber 4 and can block the jacks 41 on either side, thereby sealing the unused jacks 41 and reducing heat loss within the barrel 12. A handheld handle 421 is provided at one end of the blocking plate 42, away from the hinge point. When the blocking plate 42 is in contact with the feed chamber 4, one end of the handheld handle 421 extends outside the feed chamber 4, making it easier for staff to hold the handheld handle 421.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
