This not only improves energy efficiency but also embodies the concept of environmental protection.
[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the steam treatment mechanism includes a collection box 7, a cooling chamber 8, a drain pipe 9, a mounting box 10, an activated carbon adsorption plate 11, and a filter screen 12. The collection box 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the steam chamber 1 and connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust pipe 6. The cooling chamber 8 is disposed on the collection box 7 for storing the cooling medium. The drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the collection box 7 for discharging the liquefied steam. The mounting box 10 is disposed on the drain pipe 9. The activated carbon adsorption plate 11 is disposed inside the mounting box 10, and the filter screen 12 is disposed inside the mounting box 10.
[0023] In this embodiment, the collection box 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the steamer 1 and connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust pipe 6. Its main function is to collect and temporarily store the high-temperature water vapor discharged from the steamer 1. The cooling chamber 8 is provided on the collection box 7 to store cooling media (such as water, ice, cooling oil, etc.). When the high-temperature water vapor enters the collection box 7, it is rapidly cooled and liquefied into water through heat exchange with the cooling medium. This not only lowers the temperature of the water vapor but also changes it from a gaseous state to a liquid state, facilitating subsequent processing. The drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the collection box 7 to drain the liquefied water, ensuring that the collection box 7 does not accumulate water due to water accumulation. Excessive water accumulation and overflow also facilitate the collection and reuse of liquefied water. The installation box 10 is located on the drain pipe 9 and serves as a component carrier for further treatment of liquefied water. The activated carbon adsorption plate 11, located inside the installation box 10, is mainly used to remove any odors, impurities, or harmful substances that may be present in the liquefied water. The strong adsorption performance of activated carbon can effectively purify the water quality and improve the quality standard of the treated water. The filter screen 12, also located inside the installation box 10, is used to filter out large particulate impurities in the liquefied water, such as suspended solids and sediments, further ensuring the cleanliness of the treated water and providing a guarantee for the reuse of water resources.

[0025] In this embodiment, sliders 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the tray 2. These sliders 13, as key components of the sliding connection, are wear-resistant and smooth, which can ensure the smooth sliding of the tray 2 in the steamer 1. The inner walls on both sides of the steamer 1 are provided with grooves 14 for the sliders 13 to slide, which provides a clear movement trajectory for the sliders 13 and also restricts the movement of the tray 2 in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the tray 2 in the steamer 1.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a temperature and humidity sensor 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the steam oven 1, and the sensing end of the temperature and humidity sensor 15 extends into the steam oven 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensor 15 is a key component for monitoring the internal environment of the steaming oven 1. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 can sense and measure the temperature and humidity data inside the steaming oven 1 in real time, which is crucial for ensuring the quality of the edible fungi steaming process. This is because different types of edible fungi have different requirements for steaming temperature and humidity. Through the real-time data provided by the temperature and humidity sensor 15, the operator can accurately adjust the temperature and humidity inside the steaming oven 1 to meet the optimal conditions for steaming edible fungi, which helps to maintain the nutritional components and taste of edible fungi and improve the overall quality of the product.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing door 16 is hinged to the steam oven 1, and the sealing door 16 is provided with an intelligent operation screen 17 for controlling the heating tube 4 and the temperature and humidity sensor 15.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sealing door 16 is installed on the steamer 1 by a hinge, ensuring the sealing of the steamer 1 during the steaming process.

The intelligent operation screen 17, as the human-computer interaction interface, is cleverly set on the sealing door 16. It can be conveniently controlled by the heating tube 4 and the temperature and humidity sensor 15 inside the steamer 1 through the operation screen. The intelligent operation screen 17 usually has a touch function and supports multiple operation modes and parameter settings, making the operation more intuitive and convenient.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a transparent observation port 18 is provided on one side of the heating box 3, a heat-resistant transparent plate is provided on the transparent observation port 18, and a scale line 19 for observing the water volume is provided on the heating box 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, a transparent observation port 18 is located on one side of the heating chamber 3, providing the operator with a window to directly observe the situation inside the heating chamber 3. This allows the operator to view key information such as the working status of the heating tube 4 and the water level without opening the heating chamber 3. A heat-resistant transparent plate covers the transparent observation port 18, ensuring the safety of the operator during observation. The heat-resistant transparent plate can withstand the high-temperature environment inside the heating chamber 3 without deformation or cracking, while maintaining good transparency for easy observation. A scale line 19 is located on the heating chamber 3 to indicate the water level inside the heating chamber 3, allowing the operator to intuitively understand whether the water level in the heating chamber 3 is sufficient or needs to be replenished.

[0033] In this embodiment, the collection box 7 is provided with two injection ports 20, the main function of which is to inject cooling medium into the cooling chamber 8. The injection ports 20 are provided with sealing caps to seal the injection ports 20 after the cooling medium is injected, preventing leakage of the cooling medium and the entry of external impurities. By replenishing the cooling medium in a timely manner, it can be ensured that the cooling chamber 8 always maintains sufficient cooling capacity, thereby quickly liquefying high-temperature water vapor into water. The cooling chamber 8 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 21 for discharging the cooling medium, so that when the cooling medium needs to be replaced or cleaned, the old cooling medium can be easily discharged through the discharge pipe 21 to make room for the new cooling medium.
