Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steaming equipment technology, and more specifically, to a water-sealed structure for steaming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnel steaming equipment is a type of equipment that uses steam to heat food. It is mainly used for steaming products such as pastries, bread, rice cakes, and cakes. By using steam to heat food, it can reduce the loss of moisture and provide a better taste.

[0003] To facilitate observation of the internal structure and maintenance of any damage, some existing steaming equipment features a removable insulation cover. However, this removable cover creates a gap between the cover and the steaming equipment, allowing steam to leak out and causing a rapid increase in ambient temperature. Additionally, the steam condenses into water droplets upon contact with the insulation cover, which can affect the taste of the food.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a water-sealed structure for a steaming device in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: a water-sealed structure for a steaming device, comprising a frame body and a heat insulation cover located on the frame body, wherein the frame body is provided with symmetrically distributed water storage tanks, both sides of the heat insulation cover are located in the water storage tanks, one side of the frame body is provided with an automatic water replenishment device connected to the water storage tanks, the top of the heat insulation cover is provided with an air outlet pipe, the upper surface of the heat insulation cover is provided with a cooling water collection device, the air outlet pipe is connected to the cooling water collection device, and the cooling water collection device is connected to the water storage tank and allows cooling water to flow into the water storage tank.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the automatic water replenishment device includes a water collection tank disposed on one side of the main body of the frame, the water collection tank and the water storage tank are interconnected, a water inlet pipe is disposed on one side of the water collection tank, a regulator is disposed in the water storage tank, and an alarm sensor is disposed on the side wall of the water storage tank.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the regulator includes a float ball and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the float ball, and the connecting rod is hinged to the inner wall of the water collection tank.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the cooling water collection device includes a three-way pipe fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe, and condenser pipes are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the three-way pipe. The condenser pipes are square and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the heat insulation cover, and the lower end of the condenser pipes is inserted into the water storage tank.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that heat sinks are fixedly connected to both sides of the condenser tube.

[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] When steaming food, water is injected into the water storage tank and sealed using a water seal. As steam leaks outward, it enters the water, cooling and condensing. This ensures a tight seal while cooling the leaking steam into water, effectively preventing the ambient temperature from rising. When the water in the storage tank evaporates due to heat, an automatic water replenishment device located on the side of the main frame replenishes the water in a timely manner, ensuring the smooth operation of the water seal. Simultaneously, steam inside the insulation cover enters the cooling water collection device through the exhaust pipe, condenses, and flows into the water storage tank. This effectively reduces steam condensation inside the insulation cover, minimizing its impact on the food. Furthermore, by condensing the steam and allowing it to flow into the water storage tank, the recycling of steam is increased. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a water-sealed structure for a steaming device includes a frame body 1 and a heat-insulating cover 2 located on the frame body 1. The heat-insulating cover 2 is detachably connected to the frame body 1. The frame body 1 is provided with symmetrically distributed water storage tanks 3. The two sides of the heat-insulating cover 2 are located in the water storage tanks 3. When the steaming device is working, water is filled into the water storage tanks 3, so that the steam will enter the water during the process of leaking to the outside, thereby cooling and condensing. While ensuring the sealing performance, it can also cool the leaked steam into water, which can effectively prevent the external environment from heating up.

[0021] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the top of the heat insulation cover 2 is provided with an air outlet pipe 12, and the upper surface of the heat insulation cover 2 is provided with a cooling water collection device. The air outlet pipe 12 is connected to the cooling water collection device, and the cooling water collection device is connected to the water storage tank 3 and allows cooling water to flow into the water storage tank 3. Excess steam in the heat insulation cover 2 will enter the cooling water collection device through the air outlet pipe 12, and then flow into the water storage tank 3 through the cooling water collection device. This can effectively reduce the condensation of steam in the heat insulation cover 2 and reduce the impact on food. At the same time, by condensing the steam and letting it flow into the water storage tank 3, the recycling of steam can be increased.

[0022] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling water collection device includes a three-way pipe 13 fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 12. Condensing pipes 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe 13. The condensing pipes 14 are square and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the insulation cover 2. The square shape of the condensing pipes 14 allows them to fit more closely to the surface of the insulation cover 2, increasing the contact area with the surface of the insulation cover 2. The lower end of the condensing pipes 14 leads into the water storage tank 3. After the steam is condensed into water in the condensing pipes 14, it flows into the water storage tank 3, which plays a water-sealing role for the steam and enhances the recycling of water. Heat dissipation fins 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the condensing pipes 14. By setting the heat dissipation fins 6, the contact area between the condensing pipes 14 and the outside can be increased, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, so that the condensing pipes 14 have a perfect condensation effect.

[0023] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an automatic water replenishment device 4 connected to a water storage tank 3 is installed on one side of the main frame 1. When the water in the water storage tank 3 evaporates due to heat and the condensed water cannot replenish the water storage tank 3 in time, the automatic water replenishment device 4 located on the side of the main frame 1 can replenish the water in the tank in a timely manner, ensuring the smooth operation of the water seal. The automatic water replenishment device 4 includes a water collection tank 5 installed on one side of the main frame 1. The water collection tank 5 is connected to the water storage tank 3. A water inlet pipe 7 is installed on one side of the water collection tank 5. An alarm sensor 11 is installed on the wall. The alarm sensor 11 is connected to an external power source. The liquid level in the water collection tank 5 and the water storage tank 3 is the same. When the liquid level in the water storage tank 3 drops, the liquid level in the water collection tank 5 will also drop. When the water in the water storage tank 3 drops to a certain height, the alarm sensor 11 will be triggered. A water pump is installed on one side of the water inlet pipe 7. After the alarm sensor 11 is triggered, it will act as a water pump to replenish water in the water collection tank 5, thus playing a role in automatic water replenishment. After a set water replenishment time, the water pump will automatically shut off to prevent water from overflowing.

[0024] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the regulator 8 includes a float ball 9 and a connecting rod 10 fixedly connected to the float ball 9. The connecting rod 10 is hinged to the inner wall of the water collection tank 5. The float ball 9 will float according to the height of the liquid level in the water collection tank 5, thereby reminding the staff to add water in time.
