AI Technical Summary
Existing steam ovens for sausage processing suffer from uneven heating in the horizontal direction. The steam flow rate and velocity are high near the nozzle, while the steam flow rate and velocity are low in the area away from the nozzle, resulting in uneven heating of the sausages.
The steam is guided by a flow guiding mechanism, which includes components such as a flow guide plate, groove, slide, adjusting rod, support rod, guide cylinder, threaded cylinder, gear and electric push rod. The electric push rod drives the connecting rod and gear system to change the direction of steam injection, so that the steam is more evenly distributed in the steam oven.
This achieves uniform steam distribution within the steamer, ensuring that each sausage is heated evenly and improving product quality consistency.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sausage steaming equipment, specifically a steamer for processing sausages with uniform heating. Background Technology
[0002] Grilled sausage is a popular processed food, usually made primarily of meat (such as pork, chicken, beef, etc.), with added starch, seasonings, spices, preservatives, and other auxiliary ingredients. It is made through a series of processing steps, including marinating, mixing, stuffing, baking, and steaming. To ensure the food safety and good taste of grilled sausage, it is usually steamed in a high-temperature steam environment provided by a steam oven.
[0003] The existing steam oven for processing sausages with uniform heating hangs the sausages inside the rack, pushes the rack into the steam oven, closes the oven door, and the heating pipes inside the water tank at the bottom start working. The generated steam is delivered to multiple nozzles on both sides through the conveying pipe to spray out the steam, raising the temperature inside the steam oven to steam the sausages.
[0004] Existing steamers for processing sausages with uniform heating, although having multiple vents on both sides can improve steam distribution to some extent, result in a large steam flow rate and high velocity near the nozzles, leading to intense heating of the sausages. In contrast, the steam energy is already lost by the time it reaches the nozzles, resulting in a relatively small flow rate and velocity, and thus weaker heating of the sausages. This leads to uneven heating of the sausages in the horizontal direction. To address this, we propose a steamer for processing sausages with uniform heating. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a steam oven for processing sausages with uniform heating. It can flexibly change the direction of steam injection, so that the steam is more evenly distributed in the steam oven, achieve uniform heating, improve the consistency of product quality, and effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a steam oven for processing sausages with uniform heating, comprising a steam box, wherein a hanging rack is slidably connected inside the steam box, rectangular grooves are respectively opened on the left and right inner walls of the steam box, and steam nozzles are respectively provided on the inner wall of the rectangular grooves away from the steam box, and a flow guiding mechanism is also included.
[0007] The steam guiding mechanism includes a guide plate, a groove, a slide groove, an adjusting rod, a support rod, and a guide cylinder. A guide plate is rotatably connected between the front and rear inner walls of the rectangular groove. A groove is formed in the middle of each guide plate, and a slide groove is formed on the front and rear inner walls of the groove. Guide cylinders are provided on the bottom wall of the steam oven. Adjusting rods are slidably connected inside each guide cylinder. Evenly distributed support rods are provided outside each adjusting rod. The outer sides of each support rod are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, which is adjacent to it on the same side and at the same height. This allows for flexible changes in the steam injection direction, resulting in more even distribution of steam within the steam oven, achieving uniform heating and improving product quality consistency.
[0008] Furthermore, a microcontroller is installed on the left side of the steamer, and the input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power source to provide electrical connections for various electrical appliances.
[0009] Furthermore, the flow guiding mechanism also includes a threaded cylinder and an external thread. The upper end of the steamer is rotatably connected to a threaded cylinder, and the top of the outer wall of the adjusting rod is respectively opened with an external thread. The adjusting rod is connected to the internal thread of the upper and lower adjacent threaded cylinders, so that the adjusting rod moves up and down when the threaded cylinder rotates.
[0010] Furthermore, the flow guiding mechanism also includes gears, rotating columns, and sector gears. Gears are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the threaded cylinder, rotating columns are rotatably connected to the upper end of the steaming box, and sector gears are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating columns. The sector gears are all meshed with the adjacent gears on the same side to ensure the stable rotation of the threaded cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, the flow guiding mechanism also includes a connecting rod and an electric push rod. The electric push rod is located at the upper end of the steamer. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod. Connecting rods are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the horizontal plate. The top ends of the connecting rods are rotatably connected to the end of the adjacent sector gear on the same side near the center of the steamer. The input end of the electric push rod is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to realize the adjustment and drive of the flow guiding plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the steamer is equipped with a water tank, and the bottom wall of the water tank is equipped with a heating pipe. The interfaces of the three steam nozzles are respectively fixedly connected with connecting pipes. The connecting pipes on the same side are all connected to the inside of the water tank through a delivery pipe. The input end of the heating pipe is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to provide sufficient steam.
[0013] Furthermore, the lower surface of the steamer is provided with evenly distributed support legs to provide stable support.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This steamer for processing sausages with uniform heating has the following advantages:
[0015] The electric push rod moves the connecting rod through the cross plate, causing the connecting rod to pull the sector gear to rotate under the support of the rotating column. When rotating, the meshing gears drive the threaded cylinder to rotate, causing the internally threaded adjusting rod to slide up and down inside. This, in turn, drives the guide plate to swing up and down through the support rod, thereby changing the direction of the steam nozzle. The angle of the guide plate can be flexibly adjusted so that the steam can cover all corners of the steam oven, avoiding uneven steam distribution and ensuring that each sausage is in contact with sufficient and uniform steam.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This embodiment provides a technical solution: a steam oven for processing sausages with uniform heating, including a steam box 1, a hanging rack 2 slidably connected inside the steam box 1, rectangular grooves 3 respectively opened on the left and right inner walls of the steam box 1, steam nozzles 4 respectively provided on the inner wall of the rectangular grooves 3 away from the steam box 1, and a flow guiding mechanism 6. A single-chip microcomputer 5 is provided on the left side of the steam box 1, the input end of the single-chip microcomputer 5 is electrically connected to an external power source, a water tank 7 is provided at the bottom of the steam box 1, and a heating tube 8 is provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 7 (the heating tube 8 is usually made of metal tube (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.), with resistance wire or electric heating alloy wire wound inside. When current passes through these resistance wires, heat is generated. This heat is evenly transferred to the heated object or air through the heat-conducting medium (such as magnesium oxide powder) filled in the metal tube). Connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the interfaces of the three steam nozzles 4 respectively. The connecting pipes on the same side are all connected to the inside of the water tank 7 through a conveying pipe 9. The input end of the heating tube 8 is electrically connected to the output end of the single-chip microcomputer 5. The lower surface of the steamer is provided with evenly distributed support legs 10. When the steamer is needed for sausage processing, first pull out the rack 2 inside the steamer 1 and hang the sausage to be steamed inside the rack 2. Then push the rack 2 into the steamer 1, close the sealing door, and add water into the water tank 7 through the water inlet on the left side of the steamer 1. Under the control of the microcontroller 5, the heating tube 8 starts to operate and heats the water inside the water tank 7. When the water temperature reaches the boiling point, the water begins to boil and changes from liquid to gas, generating steam. The steam is delivered to the steam nozzle 4 through the conveying pipe 9 (steam is generated by heating water, and the steam accumulates in the closed container to form pressure. This pressure is sufficient to allow the steam to enter the connected conveying pipe 9 and then through the steam nozzle 4). The steam nozzle 4 sprays the steam into the interior of the steamer 1 to heat and cook the sausage inside. When the air pressure inside the steamer 1 is greater than the pressure that the exhaust valve can bear, the pressure relief valve on the left side of the steamer 1 opens to release the steam and maintain the air pressure balance inside the steamer 1.
[0025] The flow guiding mechanism 6 includes a flow guide plate 601, a groove 602, a slide groove 603, an adjusting rod 604, a support rod 605, and a guide cylinder 613. A flow guide plate 601 is rotatably connected between the front and rear inner walls of the rectangular groove 3. A groove 602 is formed in the middle of the flow guide plate 601, and a slide groove 603 is formed on the front and rear inner walls of the groove 602. A guide cylinder 613 is provided on the bottom wall of the steamer 1. An adjusting rod 604 is slidably connected inside the guide cylinder 613 (the inside of the guide cylinder 613 has a hexagonal slide groove, and the bottom end of the adjusting rod 604 is hexagonal to prevent rotation). The adjusting rod 604 is provided with evenly distributed support rods 605 on its outer side. The outer side of each support rod 605 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjacent groove 603 at the same height on the same side. The flow guiding mechanism 6 also includes a threaded cylinder 606 and an external thread 607. The upper end of the steamer 1 is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder 606. The top of the outer wall of the adjusting rod 604 is provided with an external thread 607. The adjusting rod 604 is connected to the internal thread of the upper and lower adjacent threaded cylinders 606. The flow guiding mechanism 6 also includes a gear 608, a rotating column 609 and a sector gear 610. The gear 608 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the threaded cylinder 606. 8. A rotating column 609 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the steamer 1. A sector gear 610 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating column 609. The sector gear 610 meshes with the adjacent gear 608 on the same side. The guide mechanism 6 also includes a connecting rod 611 and an electric push rod 612. The electric push rod 612 is located at the upper end of the steamer 1. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 612. The left and right ends of the horizontal plate are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 611. The top end of the connecting rod 611 is rotatably connected to the end of the adjacent sector gear 610 on the same side near the center of the steamer 1. The input end of the electric push rod 612 is electrically connected to... Connected to the output of the microcontroller 5, during the steam spraying process, in order to make the steam more evenly distributed in the space inside the steam chamber 1, the electric push rod 612 starts to operate through the control of the microcontroller 5. The telescopic end drives the horizontal plate to move back and forth, and the connecting rod 611 pulls the sector gear 610 to rotate under the support of the rotating column 609. The meshing gear 608 drives the threaded cylinder 606 to start rotating, so that the threaded adjustment rod 604 slides up and down inside the steam chamber 1, and the support rod 605 moves inside the slide groove 603, which drives the guide plate 601 to swing up and down, changing the flow direction of the steam after it is sprayed out from the steam nozzle 4.
[0026] The working principle of the uniformly heated sausage processing steamer provided by this utility model is as follows: When the steamer is needed for sausage processing, firstly, pull out the rack 2 inside the steam chamber 1 and hang the sausages to be steamed inside the rack 2. Then, push the rack 2 into the steam chamber 1, close the sealing door, and add water into the water tank 7 through the water inlet on the left side of the steam chamber 1. Under the control of the microcontroller 5, the heating tube 8 starts to operate, heating the water inside the water tank 7. When the water temperature reaches the boiling point, the water begins to boil, changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state, generating steam. The steam is delivered to the steam nozzle 4 through the conveying pipe 9. The steam nozzle 4 sprays the steam into the interior of the steam chamber 1, heating and steaming the sausages inside. During the steam spraying process... To ensure a more uniform distribution of steam within the steam chamber 1, the electric push rod 612, controlled by the microcontroller 5, begins to operate. The telescopic end drives the horizontal plate to move back and forth, which in turn pulls the sector gear 610 to rotate under the support of the rotating column 609 via the connecting rod 611. The meshing gear 608 drives the threaded cylinder 606 to rotate, causing the threaded adjusting rod 604 to slide up and down inside the steam chamber 1. This causes the support rod 605 to move inside the slide groove 603, which in turn causes the guide plate 601 to swing up and down, changing the flow direction of the steam after it is ejected from the steam nozzle 4. When the air pressure inside the steam chamber 1 exceeds the pressure that the exhaust valve can withstand, the pressure relief valve on the left side of the steam chamber 1 opens to release steam, thus maintaining the air pressure balance inside the steam chamber 1.
[0027] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 5 disclosed in the above embodiments can be an LPC812, the electric actuator 612 can be a DYTP, and the heating tube 10 can be a HY-G003. The microcontroller 5 controls the operation of the electric actuator 612 and the heating tube 10 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
