Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to silkworm cooking technology field, concretely is a kind of silkworm automatic cocoon cooking equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The silkworm automatic cocoon cooking equipment effectively improves production efficiency and silk quality by realizing automation, continuity and standardization of process. The equipment is composed of a heating system, a cocoon container, a stirring device, a water circulation system and an intelligent control system, which can monitor and adjust temperature, time and pressure in real time to ensure that each link is within the optimal parameter range. The core function is to realize uniform softening of cocoon through automatic control, avoid errors in traditional manual operation, and ensure that sericin is fully swollen and softened, so as to facilitate subsequent silk extraction and production of silk products. The cooking process of the equipment includes four stages of preheating, cooking, low-temperature penetration and continued cooking. In the preheating stage, the water temperature is adjusted to about 60 degrees Celsius to make the cocoon surface wet, preparing for the subsequent high-temperature cooking. In the cooking stage, the water temperature is raised to boiling state, and the cocoon is soaked in high-temperature water to soften the sericin through heat conduction. Then, the cocoon is quickly transferred to low-temperature water, and the temperature difference is used to promote water penetration into the cocoon to further soften the sericin and enhance its silk extraction performance. In the last stage, the equipment maintains a suitable temperature to ensure that the sericin is fully swollen and softened to achieve the desired softening degree. However, the current cocoon cooking equipment is mainly single-pot structure, so it needs to wait for the water temperature to rise and then drop from the preheating stage to the cooking stage and from the cooking stage to the low-temperature penetration. Water heating mainly relies on the heating source at the bottom of the pot, and heat energy can only be gradually transferred to the water through the bottom. This requires waiting for the water temperature to reach the set value before entering the next stage, which not only prolongs the entire cocoon cooking process, but also affects the continuity and efficiency of silkworm cooking production.
