Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production lines, and more specifically, to a steaming system for steaming xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). Background Technology
[0002] The process of making xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) involves steaming. Steaming not only makes the skin of the xiaolongbao soft and translucent, but also ensures that the filling is cooked through and retains its texture. Steaming allows both the dough and the filling to be fully heated to achieve the appropriate degree of doneness. If the xiaolongbao is not steamed sufficiently, it may be undercooked, affecting the taste and food safety. A steaming device is required to steam the xiaolongbao during the steaming process.
[0003] After the xiaolongbao are steamed, staff usually reach into the steaming device to remove the container containing the xiaolongbao. This makes it easy to get burned by the steam inside the steaming device when removing the container, and it is also inconvenient to transport the steamed xiaolongbao to other places for further processing.
[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steaming system for steaming xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a steaming and unloading system for steamed xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), including a steaming device, a steaming and unloading mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a material conveying mechanism. The steaming device is located directly above the steaming and unloading mechanism, and a channel is formed between the two. One side of the material conveying mechanism is located close to the steaming and unloading mechanism, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of both. The pushing mechanism is located inside the mounting frame and is used to push the container containing xiaolongbao from the steaming and unloading mechanism to the material conveying mechanism. Multiple material assemblies are slidably connected in the vertical direction to the outer wall of the mounting frame near the steaming and unloading mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the steaming and unloading mechanism includes a base, transmission rollers rotatably connected to both sides of the base, and a conveyor belt sleeved on the two transmission rollers. The steaming device is located on top of the base, and the material sorting component is located directly above the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, the material conveying mechanism includes a second base, two transmission rollers rotatably connected to both sides of the second base, and a second conveyor belt sleeved on the two transmission rollers. The second base and one side of the first base are in contact with each other, and the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the first base and the second base respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the material straightening assembly includes a horizontal plate and a plurality of stop bars fixedly connected to the horizontal plate. A plurality of vertically arranged hydraulic rods are fixedly installed between the horizontal plate and the mounting frame. The telescopic ends of the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate, and the top ends of the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the mounting frame through a connecting plate. The stop bars are located directly above the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a rotating rod, a movable crossbeam, a second cross plate, and multiple push rods fixedly connected to the second cross plate. There are two rotating rods and two cross plates. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame via a servo motor, and gears are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod. The gears on the same end of the two rotating rods are meshed together via a synchronous toothed belt. The movable crossbeam is located at the bottom of the synchronous toothed belt, and a slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable crossbeam. A slide rail for accommodating the sliding slider is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. Multiple vertically arranged hydraulic rods are fixedly installed between the second cross plate and the movable crossbeam. The telescopic ends of the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the second cross plate, and the top ends of the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable crossbeam near the stop bar via a mounting plate.
[0011] Preferably, a mounting block is fixedly connected to the top of the movable crossbeam, the mounting block is in contact with the outer bottom surface of the synchronous toothed belt, and a pressure plate is provided on the synchronous toothed belt. The pressure plate, the synchronous toothed belt and the mounting block are fixedly installed together by bolts.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This solution, by separately setting up a steaming and unloading mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a material conveying mechanism, and including a material tidying component, allows the steaming device to steam multiple containers of steamed buns. After steaming, the unloading mechanism gradually separates the containers containing the steamed buns from the channel formed between the steaming device and the unloading mechanism. The unloading mechanism then conveys the multiple containers towards the material conveying mechanism until they first come into contact with the material tidying component, arranging them side-by-side. This improves the efficiency of the multiple containers. The conveying efficiency is improved. The material assembly moves upward and passes through the steaming and unloading mechanism, causing multiple containers arranged side by side to continue to be conveyed towards the material conveying mechanism. The pushing mechanism simultaneously pushes multiple containers containing xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) onto the material conveying mechanism, which then transports the containers containing the steamed xiaolongbao to other locations for further processing. This eliminates the need for workers to reach into the steaming device to remove the containers, avoiding burns from steam and facilitating the transport of the steamed xiaolongbao to other locations for processing.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] Example:
[0021] Steamed dumplings (xiaolongbao) use an oven-out system, such as... Figures 1 to 5As shown, the device includes a steaming apparatus (existing technology), a steaming and unloading mechanism 1, a pushing mechanism 3, and a material conveying mechanism 2. The steaming apparatus is located directly above the steaming and unloading mechanism 1, with a channel formed between them for a container containing xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) to pass through. The steaming apparatus is positioned away from the material conveying mechanism 2, which is positioned on one side close to the steaming and unloading mechanism 1, with a mounting frame 5 welded to the top of both. The pushing mechanism 3 is installed inside the mounting frame 5 and is used to push the container containing xiaolongbao from the steaming and unloading mechanism 1 to the material conveying mechanism 2. Two material handling components 4 are slidably connected vertically to the outer wall of the mounting frame 5 near the steaming and unloading mechanism 1. The container containing the xiaolongbao can be a steel basin.

The material conveying mechanism 2 includes a base 201, drive rollers 202 rotatably connected to both sides of the base 201, and a conveyor belt 203 mounted on the two drive rollers 202. The drive rollers 202 are rotatably connected to the base 201 via a motor. The base 201 and one side of the base 101 are in contact with each other. The conveyor belt 103 and the conveyor belt 203 are arranged in the same plane. The mounting frame 5 is welded to the top of the base 101 and the base 201 respectively.
[0022] The material alignment component 4 includes a horizontal plate 401 and multiple stop bars 402 welded to the horizontal plate 401. There are two horizontal plates 401. Multiple vertically arranged hydraulic rods 6 are fixedly installed between the horizontal plate 401 and the mounting frame 5. There are two hydraulic rods 6 on each horizontal plate 401. The bottom end of the hydraulic rod 6 is a telescopic end, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 6 is welded to the horizontal plate 401. The top end of the hydraulic rod 6 is welded to the outer wall of the mounting frame 5 through a connecting plate 7. The inside of the connecting plate 7 is welded to the outer peripheral wall of the top end of the hydraulic rod 6, and one side of the connecting plate 7 is welded to the outer wall of the mounting frame 5. The stop bars 402 are located directly above the conveyor belt 103.
[0023] The pushing mechanism 3 includes a rotating rod 301, a movable crossbeam 302, a second crossbeam 303, and multiple push rods 304 welded to the second crossbeam 303. There are two rotating rods 301 and two crossbeams 303. One rotating rod 301 is located directly above the first conveyor belt 103, and the other rotating rod 301 is located directly above the second conveyor belt 203. The rotating rod 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 5 via a servo motor. The output end of the servo motor is welded to the end of one of the rotating rods 301, and gears 8 are welded to the outer peripheral walls of both ends of the rotating rod 301. The gears 8 on the same end of the two rotating rods 301 are meshed together via synchronous toothed belts 9. There are two synchronous toothed belts 9. The movable crossbeam 302 is installed at the bottom of the synchronous toothed belts 9, and a slider 10 is welded to the bottom of the movable crossbeam 302. A slide rail 11 is welded to the mounting frame 5 to accommodate the sliding of the slider 10. The top of the slide rail 11 is recessed downwards to accommodate the sliding of the slider 10. The slider 10 and the slide rail 11... There are two hydraulic rods 12, each vertically arranged, fixedly installed between the horizontal plate 303 and the movable crossbeam 302. The bottom end of each hydraulic rod 12 is a telescopic end, which is welded to the horizontal plate 303. The top end of each hydraulic rod 12 is welded to the side wall of the movable crossbeam 302 near the stop bar 402 via a mounting plate 13. The inside of the mounting plate 13 is welded to the outer peripheral wall of the top end of the hydraulic rod 12, and one side of the mounting plate 13 is welded to the movable crossbeam 302. 02. On the side wall, two mounting blocks 14 are welded to the top of the movable crossbar 302. The mounting blocks 14 are in contact with the outer bottom surface of the synchronous toothed belt 9, and a pressure plate 15 is provided on the synchronous toothed belt 9. The pressure plate 15, the synchronous toothed belt 9 and the mounting blocks 14 are fixedly installed by bolts. Both the pressure plate 15 and the mounting blocks 14 are provided with threaded holes for bolt connection. The synchronous toothed belt 9 is provided with through holes corresponding to the threaded holes on the pressure plate 15 or the mounting blocks 14 for bolts to pass through.
[0024] The operator starts the motor to drive the transmission rollers 102 to rotate. Since the conveyor belt 103 is fitted onto the two transmission rollers 102, and the two transmission rollers 102 are located on either side of the base 101, the motor and the conveyor belt 103 can simultaneously drive the two transmission rollers 102 to rotate. As the two transmission rollers 102 rotate, they drive the conveyor belt 103 to move, causing the top of the conveyor belt 103 to move towards the material conveying mechanism 2. The steaming device is located on the top of the conveyor belt 103 away from the material conveying mechanism 2, forming a channel between it and the conveyor belt 103. Then, multiple containers containing xiaolongbao are placed side by side along the axial direction of the transmission roller 102 on the top of the conveyor belt 103 away from the material conveying mechanism 2. The multiple containers are then conveyed by the conveyor belt 103 towards the material conveying mechanism 2. The top of the conveyor belt 103 is supported by the base 101 while conveying the containers. During the conveying process, the multiple containers gradually pass through the channel between the steaming device and the conveyor belt 103, and the steaming device steams the xiaolongbao in the containers, so that the xiaolongbao can be steamed during the conveying process.
[0025] After the steamed xiaolongbao are steamed, the containers containing them are conveyed towards the material conveying mechanism 2 via conveyor belt 103. At this point, the containers gradually move away from the channel between the steaming device and conveyor belt 103 until multiple containers simultaneously contact the material aligning assembly 4. The bottom of the baffle 402 is positioned close to conveyor belt 103, causing the containers to contact multiple baffles 402 respectively. This continues until the containers are rearranged side-by-side, improving the conveying efficiency. Once the containers are arranged side-by-side via the material aligning assembly 4, the extension end of the hydraulic rod 6 is moved upwards. This upward movement of the extension end of the hydraulic rod 6 causes the horizontal plate 401 and multiple baffles 402 to move upwards, thus moving the baffles 402... 2. Gradually move away from conveyor belt 103 until the containers no longer contact the stop bar 402. At this point, the multiple containers arranged side-by-side are still conveyed towards the push bar 304 via conveyor belt 103. The containers continue to be conveyed past the bottom of the stop bar 402, while the bottom of the push bar 304 moves away from conveyor belt 103. Once all the side-by-side containers have passed the bottom of the stop bar 402, the telescopic end of hydraulic rod 6 is moved downwards, causing the horizontal plate 401 and the stop bar 402 to move downwards respectively. This brings the bottom of the stop bar 402 back closer to conveyor belt 103, and after all the side-by-side containers have passed the bottom of the stop bar 402, the containers will pass the bottom of the push bar 304. After reaching the bottom, the telescopic ends of the hydraulic rod 12 are moved downwards, causing the horizontal plate 303 and multiple push rods 304 to move downwards, bringing the bottom of the push rods 304 close to the conveyor belt 103. Then, the servo motor is started, causing the rotating rods 301 to rotate clockwise. Because the synchronous toothed belt 9 meshes with the gears 8 at the same end of the two rotating rods 301, and the two rotating rods 301 can rotate on the inner wall of the mounting frame 5, the servo motor and the synchronous toothed belt 9 can simultaneously drive the two rotating rods 301 to rotate. When the two rotating rods 301 rotate clockwise, they can drive the synchronous toothed belt 9 to move its bottom towards the material conveying mechanism 2. When the bottom of the synchronous toothed belt 9 moves towards the material conveying mechanism 2, it drives the moving crossbeam 301 to rotate. 2. The slider 10, the second horizontal plate 303, and the push rod 304 move horizontally towards the material conveying mechanism 2. When the moving crossbar 302 moves, it drives the slider 10 to slide in the recess at the top of the slide rail 11. At this time, the bottom end of the push rod 304 is close to the first conveyor belt 103, and multiple push rods 304 can push multiple containers on the first conveyor belt 103 until multiple side-by-side containers are pushed from the first conveyor belt 103 to the second conveyor belt 203 by the push rod 304. This pushes the side-by-side containers from the steaming and unloading mechanism 1 to the material conveying mechanism 2. When multiple containers are pushed onto the second conveyor belt 203 by the push rod 304, the servo motor is adjusted so that its output end rotates counterclockwise and drives the rotating rod 301 to rotate counterclockwise.When the two rotating rods 301 rotate counterclockwise, they drive the synchronous toothed belt 9 to move its bottom away from the material conveying mechanism 2. As the bottom of the synchronous toothed belt 9 moves away from the material conveying mechanism 2, it drives the moving crossbeam 302, slider 10, cross plate 2 303, and push rod 304 to move. Then, the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 2 12 moves upward, driving the cross plate 2 303 and push rod 304 upward, causing the bottom end of push rod 304 to move away from the conveyor belt 1 103 again.
[0026] When multiple side-by-side containers are pushed from conveyor belt 103 to conveyor belt 203 by push rod 304, motor 2 drives transmission roller 202 to rotate. Conveyor belt 203 is fitted onto the two transmission rollers 202. Motor 2 and conveyor belt 203 can simultaneously drive the two transmission rollers 202 to rotate. When the two transmission rollers 202 rotate, they drive conveyor belt 203 to move in a direction relatively perpendicular to the axis of the transmission rollers 202. Afterwards, multiple containers containing steamed xiaolongbao can be transported to other places for further processing via conveyor belt 203. There is no need for staff to reach into the steaming device to remove the containers containing xiaolongbao, avoiding burns to their hands from steam, and it is convenient to transport the steamed xiaolongbao to other places for processing.
[0027] When it is necessary to install the movable crossbeam 302 on the bottom of the two synchronous toothed belts 9, first align the threaded holes on the mounting block 14 on the movable crossbeam 302 with the through holes on the synchronous toothed belts 9, then place the pressure plate 15 on the inner side of the synchronous toothed belts 9 so that the threaded holes on the pressure plate 15 correspond to the through holes on the synchronous toothed belts 9, and then thread the bolts into the threaded holes on the pressure plate 15 and the mounting block 14 respectively, with the outer peripheral wall of the bolts accommodated in the through holes of the synchronous toothed belts 9, thereby facilitating the installation of the movable crossbeam 302 on the bottom of the synchronous toothed belts 9.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
