Through its integrated design and intelligent control system, it automates the taro steaming process, significantly improving production efficiency, product quality, and food safety. As a result, it is widely used in food processing plants, central kitchens, catering enterprises, and deep processing of agricultural products.
[0003] Traditional automatic steamers typically process taro by placing it directly onto a steaming plate inside the machine. However, the taro often sticks to the steaming plate due to its mucus, making it difficult to remove later and reducing its practicality. Therefore, an automatic taro steamer has been proposed to effectively solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic taro steaming machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that taro on the market will stick to the surface of the steaming plate due to the mucus on its surface during steaming and processing, which will easily cause sticking when the material is removed later, making it inconvenient to remove the material and resulting in poor practicality.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic taro steamer, comprising a body and a cover plate disposed on the upper part of the body. Inside the body, a steaming plate is slidably mounted via two return springs, and a row of air blowers is positioned above the steaming plate. The row of air blowers is mounted on the outer surface of a steel air pipe. A servo motor is screwed onto the left side of the body, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The right end of the rotating shaft extends through to the right side of the body. Two patting blocks are mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a steaming plate is positioned above the two patting blocks.
[0006] Preferably, a filter plate is slidably installed inside the machine body, and a steaming plate is located above the filter plate, while a drain pipe is located below the filter plate, wherein the drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the machine body.
[0007] Preferably, the inside of the machine body is connected to one end of two compression springs, and the two compression springs are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the machine body, and the other end of the two compression springs is connected to a filter plate.
[0008] Preferably, a steel air pipe is rotatably installed on the top inner side of the machine body, and the left end of the steel air pipe is connected to an external blower.
[0009] Preferably, the right end of the rotating shaft is connected to a first turntable via a transmission belt, and the first turntable is rotatably mounted on the right side of the machine body, and a first magnet is installed on the outer surface of the first turntable.
[0010] Preferably, the right end of the steel gas pipe is connected to a second turntable, and a second magnet is installed on the outer surface of the second turntable, and the magnetic poles of the second magnet are opposite to those of the first magnet.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the left side of the steel air pipe, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the fuselage.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] (1) A patting block is provided. A rotating shaft is welded and installed at the output end of the servo motor, and two patting blocks are installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. When the taro is placed on the upper surface of the steaming plate for steaming, the servo motor is started to drive the two patting blocks installed on the rotating shaft to pat and vibrate the bottom sides of the steaming plate. Then, the taro placed on the surface of the steaming plate can be separated by the vibration force of the patting, so as to avoid the taro sticking after steaming and affecting the subsequent material handling. It is more practical.
[0014] (2) Furthermore, when the rotating shaft drives the two beating blocks to reciprocate and vibrate the steaming plate, the two beating blocks will also simultaneously beat and vibrate the two sides of the surface of the filter plate. At this time, the filter plate subjected to the beating and vibration will vibrate and remove the water vapor impurities stuck to its surface, thus preventing the impurities from the taro from falling onto the surface of the filter plate and affecting the subsequent water filtration, thereby improving the steaming efficiency of the steamer for taro.
[0015] (3) Furthermore, when the steaming plate is squeezed and collided, the two reset springs will use their own elastic force to elastically reset the position of the two squeezed and moved steaming plates so that they can be repeatedly patted and vibrated later. Then, the two squeeze springs can use their own elastic force to elastically reset the filter plate that has been squeezed and moved down so that it can be used for steaming taro later, making it more practical.
[0016] (4) It is equipped with air blowing heads. A steel air pipe is installed on the inner side of the top of the machine body, and a row of air blowing heads is set on the outer surface of the steel air pipe. After the taro is steamed and cooked, the outside air can be transported through the steel air pipe to the row of air blowing heads to cool the taro, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the taro and prevent overcooking.
[0017] (5) Furthermore, while the shaft is rotating, the shaft will drive the first magnet on the outer surface of the first turntable to rotate through the transmission belt. At this time, the rotating first magnet will drive the second turntable to rotate through the principle of magnetic attraction between opposite magnetic fields. Subsequently, the second turntable will drive the steel air pipe to drive a row of air blowers to perform swing jet cooling treatment, thereby improving the cooling range and cooling efficiency.

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.
[0026] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic taro steaming machine:
[0027] Example 1: To address the problem that taro tends to stick to the surface of the steaming plate 2 during steaming and cooking due to its surface mucus, making it difficult to remove later and resulting in poor practicality, the following invention is disclosed: a machine body 1 and a cover plate 18 mounted on top of the machine body 1. The steaming plate 2 is slidably mounted inside the machine body 1 via two return springs 11, and a row of air blowers 6 is located above the steaming plate 2. The row of air blowers 6 is mounted on the outer surface of a steel air pipe 5. A servo motor 4 is screwed on the left side of the machine body 1, and the output end of the servo motor 4 is connected to a rotating shaft 7. The right end of the rotating shaft 7 extends through to the right side of the machine body 1. Two patting blocks 8 are mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 7, and the steaming plate 2 is located above the two patting blocks 8.
[0028] A filter plate 9 is slidably installed inside the body 1, and a steaming plate 2 is located above the filter plate 9. A drain pipe 3 is located below the filter plate 9. The drain pipe 3 is installed below the body 1. Two compression springs 10 are connected to one end inside the body 1. The two compression springs 10 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the body 1. The other end of the two compression springs 10 is connected to the filter plate 9.
[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, after the taro is placed on the surface of the steaming plate 2 and the steaming process is completed, the servo motor 4 is started to drive the tapping blocks 8 installed on both sides of the rotating shaft 7 to reciprocate tapping and vibrating the bottom sides of the steaming plate 2. Then, the taro placed on the surface of the steaming plate 2 can be separated by the tapping vibration force, so as to prevent the cooked taro from sticking together and affecting the subsequent material removal. The two tapping blocks 8 will also tap and vibrate the surface sides of the filter plate 9 at the same time. At this time, the filter plate 9 subjected to tapping vibration will vibrate and remove the water vapor impurities stuck to its surface, so as to prevent the impurities of the steamed taro from falling onto the surface of the filter plate 9 and affecting the subsequent water filtration, thereby improving the steaming efficiency of the steamer for taro.
[0030] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that a row of air blowers 6 can be used to cool the taro after steaming, which can quickly lower the temperature of the taro and prevent overcooking. The following is disclosed:
[0031] A steel air pipe 5 is rotatably mounted on the top inner side of the body 1, and the left end of the steel air pipe 5 is connected to an external blower. The right end of the rotating shaft 7 is connected to a first turntable 13 via a transmission belt 12. The first turntable 13 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the body 1, and a first magnet 14 is mounted on the outer surface of the first turntable 13. The right end of the steel air pipe 5 is connected to a second turntable 16, and a second magnet 15 is mounted on the outer surface of the second turntable 16. The second magnet 15 has opposite magnetic poles to the first magnet 14. One end of a torsion spring 17 is connected to the left side of the steel air pipe 5, and the other end of the torsion spring 17 is connected to the body 1.
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, while the rotating shaft 7 drives the two striking blocks 8 to reciprocate, the transmission belt 12 connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 7 will simultaneously drive the first magnet 14 set on the outer side of the first turntable 13 to rotate. Subsequently, the rotating first magnet 14 will drive the steel air pipe 5 connected to the inner end of the second turntable 16 to rotate through the principle of magnetic attraction between opposite magnetic fields of the second magnet 15. Because a row of air blowing heads 6 is set on the outer surface of the steel air pipe 5, the cooling range and cooling efficiency can be improved. Finally, the position of the steel air pipe 5 after rotation can be elastically reset by the elastic force of the torsion spring 17, so as to allow for repeated rotation in the future, which is more practical.
