Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 ,include

[0027] A steam nozzle includes a base 100, a spray seat 150 is inserted and installed on the top of the base 100, a spray plate 151 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the spray seat 150, a nozzle panel 160 is sealed and rotatably connected to the top of the spray seat 150, and an adjustment bracket 170 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the nozzle panel 160.

[0028] A steam delivery pipe 200 is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the base 100, and a valve 230 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the steam delivery pipe 200.

[0029] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By setting up a steam nozzle and controlling the rotation of the nozzle panel 160 to adjust the angle of the corresponding large or small holes on the spray plate 151 to release steam, the practicality and applicability of the equipment are improved, making it convenient to make adaptive adjustments for different food processing. By setting up an adjustment frame 170 to control the rotation of the nozzle panel 160 to adjust the state of the steam spray, the steam is prevented from being sprayed onto the operator's hands during adjustment, making it convenient to adjust the steam nozzle without interrupting the steam supply, thus improving the safety of the equipment.

[0030] Example 2: As Figures 1-4An input pipe 110 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the base 100. A central rod 120 is provided in the middle of the input pipe 110. Air inlets 130 are evenly opened on the inner wall of the bottom end of the input pipe 110. The inner wall of the steam conveying pipe 200 is connected to the input pipe 110 by insertion. A locking ring 210 is provided on the outer wall of the steam conveying pipe 200. A threaded sleeve 220 is fitted on the outer wall of the steam conveying pipe 200. The threaded sleeve 220 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the input pipe 110.

[0031] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: Steam enters through the steam delivery pipe 200, which is connected to the input pipe 110 at the bottom of the base 100 via an insertion connection. The air inlet 130 on the inner wall of the bottom end of the input pipe 110 serves to initially filter and disperse the steam, while the central rod 120 helps to stabilize the steam flow direction. The locking ring 210 on the outer wall of the steam delivery pipe 200 is used to initially fix the relative position of the steam delivery pipe 200 and the input pipe 110. The threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 220 and the outer wall of the input pipe 110 further enhances the sealing and stability of the connection, preventing steam leakage. By rotating the threaded sleeve 220, the connection between the steam delivery pipe 200 and the input pipe 110 can be easily disassembled and installed.

[0032] Example 3: As Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner wall of the spray plate 151 has small holes 152 and large holes 153, which are radially distributed from the center of the spray plate 151 outwards. The angle between the axis of an adjacent small hole 152 and the axis of an adjacent large hole 153 is 22.5°. The outer wall of the nozzle panel 160 has evenly distributed adjustment holes 161, which are radially distributed from the center of the nozzle panel 160 outwards. The angle between the axes of adjacent adjustment holes 161 is 45°. The outer wall of the nozzle panel 160 is connected to the adjustment frame 170 via the support frame 172. The side wall of the adjustment frame 170 is fixedly connected to the handle 171. The top outer wall of the base 100 is fixedly installed with a limiting bracket 140. There are two limiting brackets 140, and the handle 171 is located between the two limiting brackets 140. The angle between the two limiting brackets 140 is 22.5°.

[0033] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By adjusting the handle 171, the nozzle panel 160 is rotated to the 22.5° angle position of the limiting bracket 140. In conjunction with the combination of large and small holes of the spray plate 151, for example, setting the small hole 152 with a diameter of 1mm and the large hole 153 with a diameter of 3mm, and by cooperating with the regulating valve 230 to control the flow rate of the steam delivery pipe 200, the steam flow rate can be adjusted in a stepwise manner from 20L / h to 80L / h to meet the needs of different baking stages. By holding the handle 171 and rotating the adjusting bracket 170 and the support bracket 172, the nozzle panel 160 is rotated to adjust the adjusting hole 161 to align with the small hole 152 or the large hole 153, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the steam release. This can avoid burns to the hands during use and improve the protection of the operator.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the steam source is connected to the steam delivery pipe 200. Steam enters through the steam delivery pipe 200, and after the flow rate is controlled by the valve 230, it is introduced through the input pipe 110 at the bottom of the base 100. The air inlet 130 at the bottom of the input pipe 110 initially disperses the steam, and the central rod 120 stabilizes the airflow direction. After the steam enters the spray seat 150, it is further atomized through the radially distributed small holes 152 and large holes 153 on the spray plate 151 and forms a multi-directional jet flow. By rotating the handle 171 to the limiting seat 140 at the top of the base 100, the small holes 152 or large holes 153 are covered by the nozzle panel 160, thereby controlling and adjusting the steam to be sprayed through the large holes 153 or small holes 152, providing two ways to release steam. The steam delivery pipe 200 and the input pipe 110 are quickly connected and sealed by the locking ring 210 and the threaded sleeve 220, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
