Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam rooms, and in particular to a steam room with a butterfly valve fan. Background Technology
[0002] A steam room is a device used for steam heating in various fields such as food processing, saunas, and industrial production. The basic principle of a steam room is to generate steam by heating water, introduce the steam into a closed space, and use the heat energy of the steam to heat, cook, or sterilize items. In food processing, steam rooms are often used to steam various foods, such as buns, steamed bread, and zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), to maintain the moisture and texture of the food. Steam rooms are also widely used in some industrial fields, such as wood steaming and medicinal herb steaming, to ensure the quality and effectiveness of raw materials.
[0003] Steam rooms have the function of regulating temperature and humidity, and can be set with appropriate conditions as needed. During use, the steam room needs to maintain good sealing to ensure that steam does not leak out and to maximize thermal efficiency. With the advancement of technology, modern steam rooms are also equipped with automatic control systems, allowing users to easily adjust parameters such as temperature, humidity, and steaming time. Steam rooms play an important role in improving production efficiency, product quality, and providing a comfortable leisure environment.
[0004] When a steaming chamber is in use, food or other items are placed inside and heated by steam for processing. When the food or other items are removed from the steaming chamber, a large amount of steam will drift into the operating space the moment the door is opened. In order not to affect the working environment, a fan is required to passively expel the steam in advance. However, the expelled steam is high in temperature and humidity, which will affect the external environment. Therefore, a steaming chamber with a butterfly valve fan is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a steaming chamber with a butterfly valve and fan, comprising a steaming chamber body 1, an exhaust fan 2 fixedly connected to the top of the steaming chamber body 1, a pipe 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the exhaust fan 2, an electric butterfly valve 4 fixedly connected to the outside of the pipe 3, a condenser box 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the pipe 3, a drain pipe 6 fixedly connected to the left side of the condenser box 5, and a second pipe 7 fixedly connected to the left side of the condenser box 5. The steaming chamber body 1 is used for steaming food or items, the exhaust fan 2 is used to quickly discharge the steam inside the steaming chamber body 1, the pipe 3 is used to transport steam, the electric butterfly valve 4 is used to control the opening and closing of the pipe 3, and the condenser box 5 is used to condense and cool the steam, turning it into water. The condenser box 5 is equipped with condenser pipes, condenser fins, and a cooling fan. The condenser tubes are filled with circulating coolant, which can effectively exchange heat. Drain pipe 6 is used to drain the condensed water. In the condenser, steam enters and contacts the surface of the condenser tubes. It absorbs heat through the coolant inside the condenser tubes, which lowers the temperature of the steam. The steam is cooled to its condensation point in the condenser, and the heat is released, which reduces the energy between gas molecules. As the temperature drops, the molecular motion in the gas slows down, and it eventually changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. The condensed liquid flows out of the condenser through drain pipe 6, completing the condensation process. The coolant after heat exchange passes through the fin area and is cooled and circulated by a fan blowing on the fins. Pipe 2 7 is used to transport the cooled gas. A dehumidification component is installed at the output end of pipe 2 7. A pressure relief component is installed on the top of the main body 1 of the steam chamber.

A baffle 14 is slidably connected inside the outer shell 10. A limit plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 10. The housing 8 is used to connect and protect the internal parts. The dehumidification box 9 is used to remove moisture from the gas for a secondary purpose. The dehumidification box 9 is filled with dehumidifying gel. The exhaust pipe 21 is used to transport the exhaust gas after dehumidification. The outer shell 10 is used to connect and protect the internal parts. The insertion rod 11 is inserted into the dehumidification box 9 to fix the dehumidification box 9. The sliding plate 12 is used to withstand the thrust of the spring 13 and drive the insertion rod 11 to move synchronously. The spring 13 is used to drive the sliding plate 12 to return to its original position. The baffle 14 is used to block the outlet of the insertion rod 11 to prevent the insertion rod 11 from automatically resetting. The limiting plate 15 is used to limit the movement distance of the baffle 14 to prevent it from falling off. The front side of the condenser box 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the steam chamber body 1. The front side of the casing 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the steam chamber body 1. The top of the casing 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the condenser box 5 to keep the condenser box 5 and the casing 8 stable. The insertion rod 11 is inserted into the dehumidifier box 9 to keep the dehumidifier box 9 stable. The sliding plate 12 is externally slidably connected.

The front side of the baffle 14 abuts against the rear end of the insertion rod 11 to prevent the insertion rod 11 from automatically resetting. The front end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 10. The spring 13 is internally sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 11 to keep the spring 13 stable.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The pressure relief assembly includes a connecting pipe 16, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1 of the steam chamber. A sealing gasket 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 16, and a support plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 16. A second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 18, and a steel ball 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring 19. The connecting pipe 16 is used to transport gas into the first pipe 3. The sealing gasket 17 is used to cooperate with the steel ball 20 to seal the connecting pipe 16. The support plate 18 is used to connect and support the second spring 19. The second spring 19 is used to push the steel ball 20 to reset. The steel ball 20 is used to press against the sealing gasket 17 to prevent air leakage. The top of the connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first pipe 3 to connect the first pipe 3 and the main body 1 of the steam chamber. The bottom of the steel ball 20 and the top of the sealing gasket 17 abut against each other to achieve a seal and prevent air leakage.
[0036] Working Principle: When using this device to steam food or other items, the food or items are placed inside the main body 1 of the steam chamber. The main body 1 is then activated, generating heat that evaporates water into high-temperature steam, thus initiating steaming. During steaming, the pressure inside the main body 1 gradually increases. When the pressure reaches a specified value, the air pressure pushes the steel ball 20 upwards, compressing the second spring 19. This causes the steel ball 20 to disengage from the connecting pipe 16, creating a gap. The pressure then escapes through the connecting pipe 16 and flows along pipe 3 into the dehumidification system. When the pressure is less than the thrust of the second spring 19, the second spring 19 instantly pushes the steel ball 20 back into contact with the sealing gasket 17, thus sealing the system. After steaming, the electric butterfly valve 4 opens pipe 3, and the exhaust fan 2 operates. The exhaust fan 2 draws the steam from inside the main body 1, allowing it to flow along pipe 3 into the condenser 5. The condenser 5 cools the steam, condensing it into water, which is then discharged through the drain pipe 6. The steam then flows along the pipe... The moisture is conveyed from channel 7 into the casing 8, and then undergoes secondary dehumidification through the dehumidification box 9 to remove the moisture. Finally, it is discharged outdoors through the exhaust pipe 21, thus achieving cooling and dehumidification and avoiding impact on the surrounding environment. After a period of use, the dehumidification box 9 will become saturated and needs to be replaced in time. By pulling the plug rod 11, the plug rod 11 is retracted into the outer casing 10 and disengaged from the dehumidification box 9, causing the sliding plate 12 to compress the spring 13. At the same time, the baffle 14 will automatically fall into the outer casing 10, blocking the moisture. Open the outlet of the insertion rod 11, then remove the dehumidification box 9 from the housing 8 and replace the dehumidification gel. Then put the dehumidification box 9 back into the housing 8. At this time, under the limit of the limiting plate 15, pull the baffle 14 to disengage the baffle 14 from the insertion rod 11. The spring 13 will immediately push the slide plate 12, so that the slide plate 12 drives the insertion rod 11 to reset and insert into the dehumidification box 9, thus fixing the dehumidification box 9. At this time, the main body of the steam room 1 can continue to be used for steaming production. The operation is convenient and labor-saving.
