Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment, specifically a steamer that is easy to deliver. Background Technology

[0002] A steamer is a traditional Chinese cooking tool mainly used for steaming foods such as steamed buns, dumplings, and pastries. It is widely used in the catering industry and is an essential piece of equipment for breakfast shops.

[0003] In the traditional catering industry, especially traditional breakfast shops, a comprehensive food safety management system may not be established, and there may be safety hazards in the procurement, storage, and processing of raw materials. Without an effective food traceability system, the consequences of a food safety incident could be severe.

[0004] Therefore, in recent years, many franchised breakfast shops have emerged. Their main products, such as steamed buns, dumplings, and pastries, come from prefabrication plants or central kitchens. When they arrive at the terminal stores, they are presented as semi-finished products, which solves the problems of standardization, quality control, and food safety at the front end.

[0005] However, when products such as steamed buns, dumplings, and pastries arrive at retail stores, they typically need to be transported using food bags / boxes. The buns and other products are then removed from these bags / boxes and neatly arranged in steamers before cooking. These food bags / boxes are discarded after use, generating waste and increasing packaging and labor costs. Furthermore, due to varying levels of expertise among staff employed at retail stores, safety hazards may arise during the handling and arrangement process, as well as during the cleaning / sterilization of the steamers. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steamer that is easy to deliver, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A conveniently distributed steamer includes a steam box, a lid, and several steamers. The steam box has a quick-connect socket for connecting to external steam on one side. The bottom of the steam box is fixed with wheels that have a braking function. The middle of the steam box has a steaming chamber. The upper edge of the steamers has steps. The multiple steamers are stacked. The bottom of the upper steamer is engaged with the steps of the lower steamer. The lid is placed on the uppermost steamer. The lowermost steamer is placed inside the steaming chamber. The shape of the steaming chamber is adapted to the shape of the steamers. The steaming chamber limits the position of the lowermost steamer and introduces steam into the steamer.

[0009] Using the above structure, in a prefabrication plant or central kitchen, products such as steamed buns, dumplings, and pastries are neatly arranged in steamers through a standardized production line. The steamers are then neatly stacked in a steaming box and covered. The steaming box is then transported to a delivery vehicle. The delivery vehicle unloads the steaming box at the terminal store, where customers simply connect the steam generator's steam outlet to the quick-connect socket to complete the cooking process. The entire process involves no human contact with the food, making it incredibly easy to operate. No food packaging is required, saving labor and costs while ensuring food safety. After each use, the steaming box is collected by the delivery vehicle. The collected steaming box and steamers undergo cleaning and disinfection in the prefabrication plant or central kitchen, further reducing labor costs and ensuring food safety.

[0010] This utility model is further improved in that the steamer is square in shape, which improves the stability of stacking the steamers; the steamer includes a steamer body and a steamer rack. The steamer body has a through structure and several connection holes are opened on the four walls of the steamer body. The steamer rack includes a steamer rack body and a steamer rack. The steamer rack body is fixedly set on the steamer rack. Several connection holes are opened on the four walls of the steamer rack. The steamer body and the steamer rack are detachably connected, which is convenient for cleaning and disinfection, and also convenient for regular replacement of the steamer rack.

[0011] This utility model is further improved by adding a baffle. A vent hole is opened on one side of the steamer body. The baffle is movably snapped or detachably connected to the vent hole to facilitate pressure relief during steaming and to isolate dust during delivery.

[0012] This utility model is further improved by including a steamer support, which is fixedly installed on the steamer and located on both sides of the steaming chamber to prevent the steamer from slipping due to bumps during transportation.

[0013] This utility model is further improved by including two limiting rods. The two limiting rods are respectively fixedly installed on the steamer supports located on both sides of the steaming chamber. A lock is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting rod, and hanging ears are fixedly installed on both sides of the steamer cover. The lock can lock the hanging ears together, thus locking the multiple stacked steamers.

[0014] This invention is further improved by including a track assembly, which comprises a track, a track frame, track steps, and a quick-connect plug. The track and quick-connect plug are mounted on the track frame, the track steps are located at the entrance end of the track, and the quick-connect plug can be inserted into the quick-connect socket. After the steam oven is removed from the terminal store, it is pushed into the track, and the quick-connect plug connects to the quick-connect socket for rapid cooking.

[0015] The steamer proposed in this utility model is easy to deliver, realizing zero human contact in the food steaming process, eliminating food packaging, manual unpacking and unpacking, and manual food placement, reducing labor costs and packaging costs, and ensuring food safety.
