[0014] The utility model will be described further in detail in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0015] As Figure 1 , 2As shown, a hand-cranked rotary popcorn machine includes a high-pressure barrel 1 connected to a support frame. One end of the high-pressure barrel 1 is equipped with a hand crank 2 and a pressure gauge 3. The other end of the high-pressure barrel 1 is hinged to a lid assembly 4. A pressure relief and cooling device 5 is provided at the end of the high-pressure barrel 1 corresponding to the hand crank 2. The pressure relief and cooling device 5 includes a pressure relief and cooling hole 51 formed on the high-pressure barrel 1. A pressure relief and cooling movable rod 52 is provided on the hand crank 2. A connecting frame 53 is provided behind the pressure relief and cooling movable rod 52. A spring 54 is provided between the connecting frame 53 and the rear end of the pressure relief and cooling movable rod 52. The front end of the pressure relief cooling rod 52 is provided with a pressure relief cooling head 55 that is connected to the pressure relief cooling hole 51. By setting the pressure relief cooling device 5 at one end of the high-pressure barrel 1 near the pressure gauge 3, the pressure inside the high-pressure barrel 1 can be relieved when the pressure is too high or before the popcorn is ready to pop after heating. At the same time, cold air from outside the high-pressure barrel 1 is sent into the high-pressure barrel 1, thus achieving pressure control and avoiding the risk of explosion. At the same time, rapid cooling can reasonably maintain the crispy texture of the popcorn, and after opening the lid and pouring out the popcorn, it can be eaten without waiting for it to cool down.
[0016] In this embodiment, the pressure relief cooling movable rod 52 has a toggle plate 56 connected to the hand crank 2 via a connecting shaft in the middle. The toggle plate 56, the pressure relief cooling movable rod 52, and the pressure relief cooling head 55 are integrally formed by injection molding. The toggle plate 56 includes a straight plate 561 perpendicular to the pressure relief cooling movable rod 52, and an inclined plate 562 at the outer end of the straight plate 561. A shaft connection hole is provided at the bend between the straight plate 561 and the inclined plate 562. A torsion spring is provided between the shaft connection hole and the connecting shaft. The opening of the pressure relief cooling hole 51 has an arc-shaped expansion hole 511. The pressure relief cooling head 55 has a hemispherical contact surface 551 that abuts against the arc-shaped expansion hole 511. When pressure relief or pressure relief cooling is required, the toggle plate 56 is rotated clockwise. The pressure relief cooling rod 52 moves backward, separating the pressure relief cooling head 55 from the pressure relief cooling hole 51. This allows the hot air inside the high-pressure barrel 1 to be discharged. After the hot air is discharged, the cold air outside will enter the high-pressure barrel 1 through the pressure relief cooling hole 51, cooling the popcorn before it is poured out, maintaining its crispy texture. After the cooled popcorn is poured out of the high-pressure barrel 1, it can be eaten. After the hot air inside the high-pressure barrel 1 is discharged, the actuating plate 56 is released. Under the action of the spring 54, the hemispherical contact surface 551 of the pressure relief cooling head 55 springs back and seals against the opening of the pressure relief cooling hole 51. Alternatively, a torsion spring can be provided between the shaft connection hole and the connecting shaft. The torsion spring achieves the purpose of elastic return of the pressure relief cooling rod 52 and the pressure relief cooling head 55.
[0017] In the embodiment, the hole of the pressure relief cooling hole 51 is provided with an inner groove, and a sealing ring made of high-temperature-resistant silica gel is arranged in the inner groove.
[0018] In the embodiment, the hand crank 2 comprises a connecting plate 21 arranged at one end of the high-pressure barrel 1, at least two connecting rods 22 are uniformly arranged at the outer edge of the connecting plate 21, a circular connecting ring 23 is arranged at the outer edge of the connecting rod 22, and the pressure relief cooling device 5 is arranged on the connecting plate 21.
[0019] In the embodiment, the barrel cover assembly 4 comprises two connecting ears 41 symmetrically arranged at the other end of the high-pressure barrel 1, one of the connecting ears 41 is connected with an inner connecting block 42, the other connecting ear 41 is connected with an outer connecting frame 43, the outer connecting frame 43 is connected with an adjustable cover plate 44, the inner connecting block 42 is overlapped with one end of the outer connecting frame 43, a pry bar 45 is arranged on the inner connecting block 42, and after the popcorn is made and the pressure relief cooling is completed, the inner connecting block is separated from the outer connecting frame 43 by driving the pry bar 45, so that the cover plate 44 can be opened and the popcorn can be poured out.
