In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a movable hanging steamer, including: a steamer body 1, a steamer cover 2, a steamer bottom 3, a hanging lug 4, and multiple baskets 5.

[0029] The steamer body 1 features a double-layered sidewall structure for better heat preservation and improved steaming efficiency. The steamer lid 2 is rotatably mounted on top of the steamer body 1 via a hinge assembly 7. The lid 2 is opened and closed by a cylinder 8, efficiently eliminating the need for manual operation and effectively preventing burns. The lid 2 also includes a vent 21 and a temperature detection device 22, allowing for real-time monitoring of the steaming temperature and progress, ensuring high efficiency, flexibility, safety, and stability. Multiple lifting lugs 4 are evenly distributed around the upper outer periphery of the steamer body 1 for easy and efficient transport and handling, saving time and effort.

[0030] Meanwhile, the steamer bottom 3 is located at the bottom of the steamer body 1. The steamer bottom 3 has a passageway or other structure for steam to pass through. Multiple baskets 5 are stacked vertically on the steamer bottom 3. Each basket 5 has multiple through holes 51 at its bottom and handles 52 on its side wall. Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each basket 5 can be filled with grains or cereals, and then the filled baskets 5 are placed one by one into the still body 1. That is, the filling of grains or cereals can be done in advance, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the still and improves the brewing efficiency of the entire production line.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the steamer 3 is detachably installed inside the steamer body 1; multiple pin assemblies 6 are evenly distributed on the bottom side wall of the steamer body 1 to support the placement of the bottom of the steamer 3.

[0032] The pin assembly 6 includes a movable pin 61, a spring 62, and a limiting plate 63. One end of the movable pin 61 passes through the side wall of the steamer body 1 and extends into the steamer body 1 to support and abut against the bottom of the steamer bottom 3. The movable pin 61 is movably installed on the side wall of the steamer body 1 along its length. The limiting plate 63 is fixed on the movable pin 61 and is located between the two layers of side walls of the steamer body 1. The spring 62 is sleeved on the movable pin 61 and is located between the limiting plate 63 and the outer side wall of the steamer body 1. It exerts an inward pushing force on the limiting plate 63 and the movable pin 61, which enables the movable pin 61 to support the steamer bottom 3 more stably. Pulling the movable pin 61 outward will prevent it from supporting the bottom of the steamer 3, allowing the bottom of the steamer 3 to detach from the steamer body 1. In actual use, pulling the movable pin 61 outward away from below the bottom of the steamer 3 will allow the bottom of the steamer 3 and the basket 5 placed on it to come out from under the steamer body 1. Depending on the site conditions, a support frame can be placed under the bottom of the steamer 3. This method allows the bottom of the steamer 3 and the basket 5 to be quickly removed from under the steamer body 1. Conversely, the bottom of the steamer 3 and the basket 5 to be placed into the steamer body 1 are first placed on the support frame, and then the steamer body 1 is suspended above them. Then, the steamer body 1 is slowly lowered, and the bottom of the steamer 3 and the basket 5 enter the steamer body 1 from below. Then, the movable pin 61 is inserted and supported below the bottom of the steamer 3. The above structure allows for quick and efficient loading and unloading of the basket 5, greatly improving the utilization rate of the steamer body 1 and increasing the efficiency of steaming grain.

[0033] To facilitate efficient installation or removal of the steamer bottom 3, the pin assembly 6 also includes a pin shaft 64. The pin shaft 64 is vertically movable and mounted on the outer wall of the steamer body 1, located above the movable pin 61. The movable pin 61 has a limiting groove 65 for inserting the pin shaft 64. When the pin shaft 64 is inserted into the limiting groove 65, the end of the movable pin 61 inside the steamer body 1 retracts into the side wall of the steamer body 1, which allows for better installation or removal of the steamer bottom 3, ensuring efficient and stable removal or placement of the dividing basket 5 and improving the steaming efficiency. Additionally, for ease of operation, a pull ring 66 is provided at the end of the movable pin 61 outside the steamer body 1.

[0034] This hanging steamer has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can quickly and efficiently fill or unload grains or cereals, while effectively avoiding the risk of steam burns. It achieves great functionality with a simple structure, greatly improving its utilization rate and ensuring the efficiency of grain steaming and brewing production lines.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
