[0032] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-3 A three-layer continuous steam rice cooker, comprising a cooker body 1, which has;
[0033] The feeding mechanism 2 is located on the top of the cooking machine body 1, and the feeding mechanism 2 is a feeding hopper;
[0034] The rice cooker adopts a three-layer structure, namely, upper conveyor 3, middle conveyor 4, and lower conveyor 5. The upper conveyor 3, middle conveyor 4, and lower conveyor 5 are mesh chain conveyors, which are installed inside the main body 1 of the cooker from top to bottom. The two ends of the upper conveyor 3, middle conveyor 4, and lower conveyor 5 are set as the feeding end and the discharging end in sequence according to the material conveying direction. The feeding mechanism 2 is located above the upper conveyor 3 and directly opposite the feeding end of the upper conveyor 3. The discharging end of the upper conveyor 3 is located directly above the feeding end of the middle conveyor 4, and the discharging end of the middle conveyor 4 is located directly above the feeding end of the lower conveyor 5.
[0035] In order to cook the rice, a steam supply mechanism 6 is provided in the main body 1 of the steaming machine, which is mainly used to cook rice. It has several steam pipes 7 placed in the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4 and the lower conveying mechanism 5. The steam supply mechanism 6 includes a steam distributor set on the outer wall of the main body 1 of the steaming machine. The ends of the steam pipes 7 are connected to the steam distributor. The hot steam discharged from the steam pipes 7 fills the entire main body 1 of the steaming machine through the gaps in the chain plate of the mesh conveyor, thereby cooking the rice.
[0036] Several sets of transverse dispersing mechanisms are provided. At least one set of transverse dispersing mechanisms is provided on each of the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5. The transverse dispersing mechanism includes a rotary power mechanism I8 installed on the main body 1 of the cooking machine. The rotary power mechanism I8 can be a servo motor, etc. A rotary shaft I9 is installed on the power output end of the rotary power mechanism I8. The rotary shaft I9 is parallel to the top surface of the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5. Several transverse stirring plates 10 are fixedly installed on the rotary shaft I9. The transverse stirring plates 10 are parallel to the rotary shaft and are formed into a roughly square plate structure. When stirring the rice, it can effectively prevent the rice piled at the bottom from being stirred to the surface, thus avoiding the situation of undercooked rice.
[0037] Several sets of longitudinal dispersing mechanisms are provided. Each of the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5 is equipped with at least one set of longitudinal dispersing mechanisms. The longitudinal dispersing mechanisms are arranged behind the transverse dispersing mechanisms in the direction of cooked food. The longitudinal dispersing mechanisms include a rotary power mechanism II11 installed on the main body 1 of the cooking machine. The rotary power mechanism II11 can be a servo motor, etc. A rotary shaft II12 is installed on the power output end of the rotary power mechanism II11. The rotary shaft II12 is parallel to the top surface of the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5. Several sets of stirring rods 13 are fixedly installed on the rotary shaft II12. The axis of the stirring rod 13 in each set of stirring rods 13 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotary shaft II12. Each set of stirring rods 13 is composed of several stirring rods 13 of different lengths. The stirring rods 13 are formed into a roughly cylindrical structure. Their length and diameter can be selected according to the usage requirements. Their design purpose is only to further turn the rice, which helps to move the uncooked rice at the bottom to the surface for cooking.
[0038] Several sets of cleaning nozzles 14 and water replenishment nozzles 15 are installed above the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5. Several support rods 16 are installed at intervals along the material conveying direction on the inner wall of the cooking machine body 1 above the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4, and the lower conveying mechanism 5. The support rods 16 are horizontally arranged and form a roughly rod-shaped structure. The cleaning nozzles 14 and water replenishment nozzles 15 are installed on the support rods 16. The number of cleaning nozzles 14 and water replenishment nozzles 15 can be selected according to the usage requirements. The number of cleaning nozzles 14 or water replenishment nozzles 15 on each support rod 16 can be selected according to the usage requirements. The cleaning nozzles 14 and water replenishment nozzles 15 can be supplied with water through hoses extending outside the cooking machine body 1.
[0039] The bottom of the cooking machine body 1 has several drain pipes 17, through which the accumulated water at the bottom of the cooking machine body 1 is drained.
[0040] The discharge mechanism 18 extends from the discharge end of the lower conveying mechanism 5 to the outside of the cooking machine body 1. The discharge mechanism 18 is located on the outer wall of the cooking machine body 1 and close to the discharge end of the lower conveying mechanism 5. The discharge mechanism 18 includes a discharge hopper, which is located on the outer wall of the cooking machine body 1 and covers the discharge end of the lower conveying mechanism 5. An exhaust pipe 19 is provided at the top of the discharge hopper. The exhaust pipe 19 is used to discharge excess steam inside the cooking machine body 1. A pressure relief valve or the like can be installed inside the exhaust pipe 19.
[0041] Several sealed doors 20 are installed on the side wall of the main body 1 of the steam cooker to facilitate personnel to inspect and maintain the interior of the main body 1 of the steam cooker.
[0042] The operating principle of the three-layer continuous steam rice cooker in Example 1 is as follows:
[0043] (1) Feeding stage: Raw materials (uncooked rice) are continuously fed into the feeding end of the upper conveying mechanism 3 of the main body 1 of the cooking machine through the feeding hopper;
[0044] (2) Conveying and cooking stage: When the raw material enters the upper conveying mechanism 3, it begins to move forward along the chain plate of the mesh conveyor. At the same time, the steam supply mechanism 6 starts to work. Steam enters the cooking machine body 1 through the steam pipe 7 and fills the entire cooking machine body 1 through the gaps in the chain plate of the mesh conveyor to cook the rice. During the cooking process, the upper conveying mechanism 3, the middle conveying mechanism 4 and the lower conveying mechanism 5 take turns to form an S-shaped conveying trajectory that can transport the rice from the upper layer to the lower layer. Each layer of conveying mechanism is equipped with a transverse dispersing mechanism and a longitudinal dispersing mechanism. They drive the rotating shaft and the stirring plate / stirring rod 13 through the rotating power mechanism to disperse the rice transversely and longitudinally, ensuring that the rice can be heated evenly and avoiding local undercooking or clumping. The cleaning nozzle 14 and the water replenishing nozzle 15 clean and replenish the rice regularly during the conveying process to maintain the moisture and taste of the rice. These nozzles supply water through hoses, which can easily adjust the frequency and intensity of cleaning and water replenishment.
[0045] (3) Drainage and discharge stage: During the cooking process, some water may accumulate at the bottom of the cooking machine body 1. This water is discharged through the drain pipe 17 to keep the cooking machine body 1 clean and dry. When the rice is conveyed to the discharge end of the lower conveying mechanism 5, the rice is continuously sent out of the cooking machine body 1 through the discharge hopper. During the cooking process, excess steam can be naturally discharged through the exhaust pipe 19 at the top of the discharge hopper.
[0046] (4) Several sealed doors 20 are installed on the side wall of the main body 1 of the cooking machine. The design of these sealed doors 20 facilitates personnel to enter the interior of the main body 1 of the cooking machine for maintenance and repair. When necessary, the sealed doors 20 can be opened to inspect, clean or replace the various components inside the cooking machine.
