The housing includes a steam chamber and a pre-steaming chamber, with the steam chamber positioned above the pre-steaming chamber. A slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the pre-steaming chamber, and a slide frame is slidably mounted on the slide rail. Several through holes are evenly distributed on the slide rail, and the slide frame engages with the through holes on the slide rail via fixing pins. A tray is mounted on the slide frame, and a placement plate for accommodating plums is provided on the steps of the tray.

[0006] Furthermore, a steam collection hood is provided above the steam chamber, and a second steam pipe is provided on the steam collection hood. The second steam pipe is connected to the pre-steam chamber through several second branch pipes at different heights.

[0007] Furthermore, the gas collection hood is provided with a first steam pipe, which is connected to the pre-steam chamber through first branch pipes at different heights; after the first branch pipe passes through the box body, a connecting hose is provided, which is pluggable to the gas inlet pipe on the tray.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the front end face of the tray; and a placement hole for cooperating with plums is provided on the placement plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a sealing plate that cooperates with the steam chamber; the sealing plate is made of transparent material.

[0010] Furthermore, an electric heating wire is installed inside the steam chamber; a water inlet is provided at the top of the steam chamber, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the steam chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the pre-steaming chamber is equipped with a door via hinges.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model of a pre-steaming machine for prunes achieves adjustable tray height by mounting the tray on a movable slide, making it more convenient to use. The tray and the second branch pipe are connected via a flexible hose, allowing the tray to remain connected even after height adjustments. The flexible hose is detachably connected to the air inlet pipe on the tray, facilitating tray assembly and disassembly. In summary, this utility model of a pre-steaming machine for prunes features a simple structure, ingenious design, and practical function, effectively solving the problem that existing pre-steaming equipment typically cannot adjust tray height, making it unsuitable for processing different varieties and sizes of prunes.
