Detailed Implementation
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0029] A multi-layer vertical rice steamer, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, including
[0030] Cabinet 12, with a cabinet door 10 hinged to one side of the cabinet 12, and a controller 11 fixedly installed at one corner of the cabinet door 10;
[0031] The linkage component is movably disposed between the controller 11 and the cabinet 12. The linkage component includes a transmission wheel 31, a transmission belt 32, a drive gear 33, a rack 35, and a connecting rod 37. The rack 35 is slidably disposed on the inner bottom surface of the cabinet 12. The rack 35 is hinged to the cabinet door 10 by the same connecting rod 37. The transmission wheel 31 is fixedly disposed above the drive gear 33. There are two transmission wheels 31 and two drive gears 33. The two transmission wheels 31 are connected by the same transmission belt 32. The drive gear 33 is rotatably disposed inside the cabinet 12.
[0032] The cooling component is movably installed inside the cabinet 12. The cooling component includes a driven gear 26, an idler gear 27, an axial fan blade 28, a main gear 29, a driven bevel gear 30, and a main bevel gear 36. The main bevel gear 36 is fixedly installed between one set of transmission wheels 31 and drive gear 33. The driven bevel gear 30 is fixedly installed on one side of the main gear 29. The driven gear 26, idler gear 27, and main gear 29 are all installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 12. The axial fan blade 28 is fixedly installed on one side of the driven gear 26. Multiple driven gears 26, idler gears 27, and axial fan blades 28 are arranged in an array.
[0033] Specifically, during use, the cabinet door 10 activates the linkage component, which in turn activates the cooling component. The cooling component is located at the opening of the cabinet door 10 and the cabinet body 12 away from the hinge. By placing the cooling component directly opposite the opening of the cabinet door 10, when the cabinet door 10 is opened, the linkage component drives the cooling component to operate, which in turn drives the axial flow fan blades 28 to rotate via the gear 26, thus drawing away some of the residual heat and steam inside the cabinet. This not only recovers and reuses the residual heat but also avoids the safety hazard of high-temperature heat hitting the face when the cabinet door 10 is opened, thereby preventing injury to the staff.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an air supply pipe 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet 12. The air supply pipe 16 has no less than five output ports. Each output port is equipped with a solenoid valve 17. There are multiple solenoid valves 17. The controller 11 is electrically connected to all the solenoid valves 17.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pressure relief pipe 13 and a water outlet pipe 15 are fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet 12. A pressure relief valve 14 is installed on the pressure relief pipe 13, and another solenoid valve 17 is installed on the water outlet pipe 15. A pressure sensor 18 is fixedly installed on the bottom inside the cabinet 12. The pressure sensor 18 is electrically connected to the controller 11, and the controller 11 is electrically connected to the pressure relief valve 14.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 12 has an L-shaped constant temperature chamber 21 inside. No less than five sets of support frames 23 are fixed in an array inside the cabinet 12. The support frames 23 are all hollow structures. The support frames 23 have U-shaped drain grooves 20. A drain pipe 19 is fixedly installed at one corner of the bottom surface of the support frame 23. The drain pipe 19 is connected to the drain groove 20 of the bottom support frame 23. Each support frame 23 corresponds to one output port of the air supply pipe 16. Each support frame 23 has an air intake groove 25. Each support frame 23 has an air filter plate 24. The air filter plate 24 is fixedly installed in the air intake groove 25.
[0037] The working principle is as follows: An external steam output device is connected to the air supply pipe 16. The steam input is controlled by a solenoid valve 17 connected to the air supply pipe 16. A pressure sensor 18 senses the steam pressure inside the cabinet 12 and transmits the pressure signal to the controller 11. The controller 11 controls the pressure relief valve 14 based on the pressure signal from the pressure sensor 18. Excess steam pressure is discharged from the pressure relief pipe 13 through the pressure relief valve 14. Simultaneously, the controller controls the steam input at each output port of the air supply pipe 16 by controlling multiple solenoid valves 17 on the air supply pipe 16, thus cooling the interior of the cabinet 12. The condensed cooling water collects on the drain tank 20 and is discharged one by one into the drain tank 20 below through the drain pipe 19. The condensed water collected inside the drain tank 20 on the bottom support frame 23 is discharged through the outlet pipe 15. A water level sensor is installed at the connection between the outlet pipe 15 and the drain tank 20. The water level sensor is electrically connected to the controller 11. The water level sensor transmits the condensed water position signal at this position to the controller 11 in real time. When the water level is too high, the controller 11 can control the solenoid valve 17 on the outlet pipe 15 to open, thereby discharging the condensed water.
[0038] It is worth noting that the solenoid valve 17, pressure relief valve 14, pressure sensor 18 and water level sensor used in this device are not specific signals, and their application in this device only needs to be compatible with the function.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, a hinge seat 22 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the cabinet door 10. The hinge seat 22 and the top end of the rack 35 are hinged together to the connecting rod 37. A sliding groove 34 is opened on the bottom inner surface of the cabinet body 12. A slider is provided on the bottom surface of the rack 35. The slider slides in the sliding groove 34.
[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission wheel 31 and the drive gear 33 are fixed by a round shaft. Both drive gears 33 mesh with the same rack 35, which meshes with the main bevel gear 36 from the bevel gear 30.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the axial flow fan blade 28 is fixed to the driven gear 26 via a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is rotatably disposed between the constant temperature chamber 21 and the filter plate 24. The main gear 29 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the constant temperature chamber 21. The idler gear 27 is driven between multiple driven gears 26 and the main gear 29. The main gear 29 meshes with the driven gear 26 through the idler gear 27. The axial flow fan blade 28 is rotatably disposed in the air intake groove 25.
[0042] The working principle is as follows: all structures used in the linkage and cooling components are made of food-grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and the surface is coated with a hydrophobic coating for waterproofing. During use, when the cabinet door 10 is opened, the hinge 22 pulls the connecting rod 37. The connecting rod 37 moves the rack 25 to slide on the slide groove 34. The movement of the rack 35 meshes with the two drive gears 33 respectively. The rotation of the drive gears 33 drives the corresponding transmission wheel 31 to rotate. When the drive gear 33 equipped with the main bevel gear 36 rotates, the main bevel gear 36... 6 meshes with the bevel gear 30 for transmission. The bevel gear 30 drives the corresponding main gear 29 to rotate. The main gear 29 in turn drives the idler gear 27 and each set of slave gears 26 set above to rotate. When the slave gears 26 rotate, the axial flow fan blades 28 rotate. When the cabinet door 10 is opened, the axial flow fan blades 28 rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the axial flow fan blades 28 draw in some of the residual heat steam in the cabinet 12. When the staff opens the cabinet door 10, they will not be burned by a large amount of steam. The absorbed residual heat steam enters the constant temperature chamber 21 for constant temperature use.
