Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sea cucumber processing technology, and specifically relates to a cooking machine for sea cucumber processing. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumber processing refers to a series of processing steps undertaken to enhance its market and nutritional value. This process involves steaming the sea cucumbers. High-temperature steaming produces a significant amount of sticky substances in the sea cucumbers. If the sea cucumbers remain stationary for an extended period during steaming, they are prone to sticking to the steaming plate, affecting their final quality. Existing steaming machines typically use the up-and-down movement of the steaming plate to agitate the sea cucumbers. However, this method results in a relatively unidirectional force on the sea cucumbers, which is insufficient to effectively prevent sticking and has limitations.

[0003] The existing patent with publication number CN221204081U relates to a sea cucumber cooking machine, which is equipped with a first drive motor, a first rotating shaft, a steering tie rod, a traction rod, a traction support rod, a cooking net cylinder, and a cooking tank. During the cooking process, the first drive motor is started, and the output shaft of the first drive motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the steering tie rod, which in turn drives the traction support rod to move. This causes the traction support rod to move the cooking net cylinder up and down inside the cooking tank, which facilitates shaking and turning the sea cucumbers inside the cooking net cylinder and prevents the sea cucumbers from sticking to the bottom of the cooking net cylinder.

[0004] Because sea cucumbers release a lot of viscous substances during the steaming process, and the bottom of the steaming mesh cylinder in the above solution is flat, simply sliding the steaming mesh cylinder up and down cannot achieve a good shaking effect. Sea cucumbers are easily stuck to the bottom inner wall of the steaming mesh cylinder due to the viscous substances, which makes it difficult for the part of the sea cucumbers stuck to the steaming mesh cylinder to be heated, affecting the taste of the sea cucumbers and having certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides a cooking machine for sea cucumber processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cooking machine for sea cucumber processing includes a gantry frame with a support rod fixedly mounted on it. An outer cooking cylinder is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the support rod, and an inner cooking cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod. A shelf is slidably mounted inside the inner cooking cylinder along a vertical direction. The outer cooking cylinder, inner cooking cylinder, shelf, and support rod are coaxial. A plurality of bottom-lifting plates are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the inner cooking cylinder via a rotating shaft. Each bottom-lifting plate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom-lifting plates are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the inner cooking cylinder. Each bottom-lifting plate is connected to the rotating shaft via a torsion spring. The top center of the shelf is concave inwards. The bottom surfaces of the bottom-lifting plates are in transmission engagement with the top of the shelf, and the top surfaces of the bottom-lifting plates are in transmission engagement with the bottom of the shelf.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the inner and outer steaming cylinders is covered by the same sealing cover, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the gantry frame, and the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to several connecting rods; the bottom of the several connecting rods are all sealed and slide through the sealing cover and are fixedly connected to the top of the shelf, and the outer surface of the several connecting rods is fixedly fitted with limiting blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cooking cylinder is provided with a clearance groove for the bottom plate to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame, a second gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor, and a first gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the cooking outer cylinder, with the first gear meshing with the second gear for transmission.

[0011] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. During the sliding motion of the shelf, several bottom plates will push the sea cucumbers gathered above the shelf, causing them to collide with each other and be subjected to forces in multiple directions. This effectively prevents the sea cucumbers from sticking together with the shelf, resulting in better performance in actual use.

[0013] 2. By designing the placement board to be concave inward, the sea cucumbers can roll towards the center of the placement board as they slide up and down. The sea cucumbers that roll to the center of the placement board will be lifted up by several bottom-scooping plates. The lifted sea cucumbers will fall back onto the placement board and roll towards the center of the placement board, thereby further preventing the sea cucumbers from sticking together with the placement board.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A cooking machine for sea cucumber processing includes a gantry frame 1, a support rod 13 fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the gantry frame 1, a cooking outer cylinder 4 rotatably installed on the outer surface of the support rod 13, a cooking inner cylinder 9 fixedly installed on the top of the support rod 13, and a shelf 12 slidably installed in the cooking inner cylinder 9 along the vertical direction. The cooking outer cylinder 4, the cooking inner cylinder 9, the shelf 12, and the support rod 13 are coaxially arranged. A heating component (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the cooking outer cylinder 4. The heating component can be a heating rod as in the prior art, which delivers water to the cooking outer cylinder 4 and heats the water inside the cooking outer cylinder 4.

[0024] The same sealing cover 3 is placed on the top of the inner steaming cylinder 9 and the outer steaming cylinder 4. An electric push rod 2 is fixedly installed on the gantry frame 1. The telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to several connecting rods 11 through a connecting block. The bottom of several connecting rods 11 is sealed and slides through the sealing cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the top of the shelf 12. Limiting blocks are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of several connecting rods 11.

[0025] Activating the electric push rod 2 controls the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 2 to drive the placement plate 12 to slide inside the steaming inner cylinder 9 via the connecting rod 11, causing the sea cucumbers on the placement plate 12 to shake and turn over. In addition, the top center of the placement plate 12 is concave inward, and the longitudinal section is an inverted cone shape, which is conducive to the rolling and turning of the sea cucumbers on the placement plate 12.

[0026] The inner steaming cylinder 9 has several through slots 901 arranged in a circular array along its central axis. Each through slot 901 contains a fixed rotating shaft, and each rotating shaft has a bottom-lifting plate 10 rotatably mounted on its outer surface. The bottom-lifting plates 10 are arranged in pairs facing each other, and each bottom-lifting plate 10 is connected to its rotating shaft by a torsion spring. Each bottom-lifting plate 10 has several sliding holes. One side of each bottom-lifting plate 10 is called the top surface 14, and the other side is called the bottom surface 15. The top surface 14 of each bottom-lifting plate 10 engages with the bottom of the shelf 12, and the bottom surface 15 of each bottom-lifting plate 10 engages with the top of the shelf 12.

[0027] The bottom surface 15 of the bottom-scooping plate 10 is used to push the sea cucumber on the shelf 12, and the top surface 14 of the bottom-scooping plate 10 is used to scrape off the sticky substance adhering to the top surface 14.

[0028] In addition, each through slot 901 has clearance slots 902 on both the upper and lower sides for the bottom plate 10 to rotate.

[0029] A motor 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame 1. A second gear 7 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 8. A first gear 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the cooking outer cylinder 4. The first gear 5 and the second gear 7 mesh and transmit power.

[0030] The inner steaming cylinder 9 and the storage plate 12 are provided with several through holes, and the outer surface of the outer steaming cylinder 4 is fixedly provided with a drain pipe 6.

[0031] Working principle: When the sea cucumber needs to be steamed, the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 2 is retracted, which drives the placement plate 12 to rise through the connecting rod 11. After the placement plate 12 rises a certain distance, the limiting block on the placement plate 12 will contact the bottom of the sealing cover 3 and drive the sealing cover 3 to rise, thereby opening the sealing cover 3.

[0032] After rising to the appropriate position, place the sea cucumber on the placement plate 12 and pour a certain amount of water into the outer steaming cylinder 4. Control the extension shaft of the electric push rod 2 to extend so that the placement plate 12 re-enters the inner steaming cylinder 9 until the sealing cover 3 covers the top of the inner steaming cylinder 9 and the outer steaming cylinder 4.

[0033] The heating component is activated to heat the water in the outer steaming cylinder 4, thereby steaming the sea cucumbers. During this process, in order to prevent the sea cucumbers from sticking to the top of the placement plate 12, the extension shaft of the electric push rod 2 is used to control the placement plate 12 to slide up and down in the inner steaming cylinder 9. During the sliding process, the limiting block does not contact the sealing cover 3, thereby shaking and turning the sea cucumbers on the placement plate 12 by sliding up and down.

[0034] Initial state as Figure 2 As shown, during the ascent of the shelf 12, the bottom surface 15 of the bottom-feeding plate 10 first contacts the top edge of the shelf 12. As the ascent continues, the bottom-feeding plate 10 rotates and gradually slides from the edge towards the axis of the shelf 12, eventually adhering to the top of the shelf 12. During this process, the torsion spring gradually deforms, and the bottom-feeding plate 10 pushes the sea cucumbers it contacts during the sliding motion, causing the sea cucumbers to collide with each other, further preventing the sea cucumbers from sticking to the top of the shelf 12.

[0035] After the bottom-feeding plate 10 is attached to the top of the placement plate 12, as the placement plate 12 continues to rise, the bottom-feeding plate 10 will slowly lift upwards. The two bottom-feeding plates 10 will work together to lift up some of the sea cucumbers. The lifted sea cucumbers will slide from the sides of the bottom-feeding plate 10 and the sliding holes on the bottom-feeding plate 10 onto the placement plate 12, and roll on the placement plate 12 toward the axis of the placement plate 12, further preventing the sea cucumbers from sticking to the top of the placement plate 12.

[0036] When the shelf 12 moves to the position shown Figure 5 At the indicated position, the bottom-feeding plate 10 is pushed by the placement plate 12 into the clearance groove 902 at the top of the through groove 901. The placement plate 12 continues to move upward. When the placement plate 12 is no longer in contact with the bottom-feeding plate 10, the bottom-feeding plate 10 recovers its deformation under the elastic action of the torsion spring. Figure 2 state.

[0037] Subsequently, the shelf 12 slides downwards, contacting the top surface 14 of the scraping plate 10. As the shelf 12 continues to slide down, the scraping plate 10 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the torsion spring to deform in the opposite direction. Due to the action of the torsion spring, the shelf 12 and the top surface 14 of the scraping plate 10 remain in contact, and the contact point moves downwards along the top surface 14 of the scraping plate 10, thus scraping off the sticky substance from the top surface 14 of the scraping plate 10. The shelf 12 then continues to move downwards until it no longer contacts the scraping plate 10, at which point the scraping plate 10 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring. Figure 2 As shown, repeating the above operation can prevent sea cucumbers from sticking to the storage board 12.

[0038] At the same time, the motor 8 can be started, and the output shaft of the motor 8 drives the second gear 7 to rotate. Since the second gear 7 meshes with the first gear 5, the first gear 5 drives the outer steaming cylinder 4 to rotate on the support rod 13 in a sealed manner, thereby realizing the flow of water in the outer steaming cylinder 4 and making the heat distribution of the water in the outer steaming cylinder 4 more uniform.

[0039] After steaming, control the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 2 to retract and open the sealing cover 3, then remove the sea cucumber from the shelf 12.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
