[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a steaming pot 100, which includes a main frame 110, a pot body 120, a drive unit 130, a steaming rack 140, and a steam inlet unit 150.
[0037] The pot body 120 is rotatably connected to the main frame 110, and the drive unit 130 is connected to the pot body 120 in a transmission manner. The drive unit 130 is used to drive the pot body 120 to rotate relative to the main frame 110.
[0038] The cooking rack 140 is movably disposed within the pot body 120, and the cooking rack 140 is used to load medicinal materials;
[0039] The steam inlet unit 150 is connected to the boiler body 120 and is used to supply steam from the upper end or the lower end of the boiler body 120 into the boiler body 120.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The working principle of this cooking pot 100 is as follows:
[0041] The cooking pot 100 includes a main frame 110, a pot body 120, a drive unit 130, a cooking rack 140, and a steam inlet unit 150.
[0042] The pot body 120 is rotatably connected to the main frame 110, and the drive unit 130 is connected to the pot body 120 in a transmission manner. The drive unit 130 is used to drive the pot body 120 to rotate relative to the main frame 110. In this way, it is convenient to adjust the position of the pot body 120, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the pot body 120 and the addition or extraction of Chinese medicinal materials into the pot body 120.
[0043] The steaming rack 140 is movably installed inside the pot body 120 and is used to load medicinal materials. The steam inlet unit 150 is connected to the pot body 120 and is used to supply steam from the upper end or the lower end of the pot body 120 into the pot body 120. Thus, during the steaming process, steam can be supplied to both the upper and lower ends of the pot body 120, thereby avoiding inconsistent heating of the medicinal materials located on the upper and lower layers of the steaming rack 140 during the steaming process. This improves the efficiency of steaming and avoids inconsistent steaming conditions of the medicinal materials on the upper and lower layers of the steaming rack 140, thereby improving the uniformity of steaming and the quality of steaming.
[0044] It should be noted that this embodiment is illustrated by using the cooking pot 100 to process Chinese medicinal materials. In other embodiments of this utility model, the cooking pot 100 can also be used to cook other types of materials.
[0045] Further, please refer to Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, to improve the steaming efficiency and the uniformity of the placement of Chinese medicinal materials during the steaming process, the steaming rack 140 includes a frame 141 and multiple placement racks 142. The multiple placement racks 142 are all connected to the frame 141 and are arranged at vertical intervals. Thus, when placing Chinese medicinal materials, each placement rack 142 can be filled with Chinese medicinal materials, so that the steam can come into uniform contact with the medicinal materials during the steaming process. Moreover, this arrangement allows the Chinese medicinal materials to be laid flat in each placement rack 142, so that all parts of the Chinese medicinal materials can come into contact with the steam, thereby improving the steaming quality.
[0046] In addition, to improve operational convenience, especially for loading and unloading Chinese medicinal herbs, the frame 141 is slidably connected to the pot body 120 in the vertical direction. This allows the frame 141 to be moved out of or into the pot body 120 by hoisting, thus facilitating operation.
[0047] As can be seen from the above, in order to improve the steaming quality during the steaming process, steam is introduced into both the upper and lower ends of the pot body 120. Based on this, the steam inlet unit 150 includes a steam generator 151, a first steam inlet pipe 152 and a second steam inlet pipe 153.
[0048] The first steam inlet pipe 152 and the second steam inlet pipe 153 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the boiler body 120, and both the first steam inlet pipe 152 and the second steam inlet pipe 153 are connected to the steam generator 151.
[0049] That is, during steaming, steam can be introduced into the pot body 120 from the upper end through the first steam inlet pipe 152 to heat and steam the Chinese medicinal materials on the upper layer of the steaming rack 140. At the same time, steam can be introduced into the pot body 120 from the lower end through the second steam inlet pipe 153 to heat and steam the Chinese medicinal materials on the lower layer of the steaming rack 140. The Chinese medicinal materials in other positions of the steaming rack 140, such as the middle position, will be steamed with the movement of steam. In this way, the steaming quality of Chinese medicinal materials in each position of the steaming rack 140 can be improved.
[0050] It should be noted that this configuration also allows for the introduction of steam into the boiler body 120 from the lower end through the second steam inlet pipe 153, and the discharge of some gas through the first steam inlet pipe 152, in order to relieve pressure inside the boiler body 120, or in other special circumstances, when the internal pressure increases. In other words, in other situations, either the first steam inlet pipe 152 or the second steam inlet pipe 153 can be used for steam discharge, achieving single-pipe steam discharge.
[0051] Further, please refer to Figures 1-3 The cooking pot 100 also includes a first steam guide plate 161 and a second steam guide plate 162 disposed within the pot body 120; the first steam guide plate 161 and the second steam guide plate 162 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the pot body 120, and the first steam guide plate 161 and the second steam guide plate 162 are respectively connected to the first steam inlet pipe 152 and the second steam inlet pipe 153; wherein, the cooking rack 140 is located between the first steam guide plate 161 and the second steam guide plate 162.
[0052] Furthermore, the first steam guide plate 161 is arranged in an array with multiple first steam nozzles 163, and the second steam guide plate 162 is arranged in an array with multiple second steam nozzles 164; wherein, the multiple first steam nozzles 163 and the multiple second steam nozzles 164 are all used to guide steam toward the cooking rack 140.
[0053] Therefore, through the above structural design, the coverage area of steam after it is introduced into the pot body 120 can be increased, so that the Chinese medicinal materials on the steaming rack 140 can be in uniform contact with the steam, thereby improving the steaming quality.
[0054] Please refer to Figures 1-3 Based on the above structural configuration, to facilitate the removal or insertion of the cooking rack 140, the pot body 120 includes a main body 121 and a cover 122. The cover 122 is rotatably connected to the open end of the main body 121, and the first steam guide plate 161 is connected to the cover 122. That is, in this way, the open end of the main body 121 can be opened by operating the cover 122, thereby facilitating the placement or removal of the cooking rack 140; and since the cooking rack 140 is movably connected to the pot body 120 so that the cooking rack 140 can be removed from the pot body 120, a guide frame 123 that slides with the cooking rack 140 is provided inside the main body 121.
[0055] In addition to the above-mentioned structure, in order to improve the efficiency of steaming and reduce heat loss during the steaming process, the main body 121 is equipped with an insulation jacket 124. The insulation jacket 124 can be equipped with heating elements and insulation layers, or it can be used as a partition for the introduction of steam.
[0056] Further, please refer to Figures 1-3Based on the above structure, in order to support the cooking rack 140 placed inside the pot body 120, prevent it from contacting the second steam guide plate 162 and deforming it, a support column 125 is vertically provided at the lower end of the main body 121. The support column 125 abuts against the lower end of the cooking rack 140. It should be noted that when configuring the support column 125, it can be set independently of the second steam inlet pipe 153, or the part of the second steam inlet pipe 153 inside the pot body 120 can be a rigid pipe. After it is connected to the second steam guide plate 162, the support column 125 connected to the rigid pipe is set in the area between the second steam guide plate 162 and the cooking rack 140. The purpose is to keep the second steam guide plate 162 and the cooking rack 140 at a distance to avoid them contacting each other and being subjected to force.
[0057] In addition, in order to facilitate the export or control of the liquid level in the pot body 120, a water guide pipe 126 is connected to the lower end of the main body 121.
[0058] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
