Description

A cooking apparatus for processing plant materials Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant material cooking devices, and in particular to a cooking device for processing plant materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the food industry, steaming can improve the taste and texture of plant-based ingredients, enhance their flavor, and kill harmful microorganisms, ensuring food safety. In the pharmaceutical industry, steaming can effectively extract active ingredients from plants, laying the foundation for subsequent drug production. With the booming development of the plant processing industry, the performance requirements for plant material steaming equipment are becoming increasingly stringent, and its quality and efficiency directly affect product quality and production benefits.

[0003] Currently, some traditional cooking devices lack effective material stirring and turning structures, resulting in uneven heating of plant materials during the cooking process. For example, materials at the bottom, being closer to the heat source, are prone to overcooking, destroying their nutrients; while materials at the top may not be fully cooked due to insufficient heat transfer, affecting the consistency of product quality. This is because the materials are in a relatively static state during cooking, and heat relies solely on natural conduction, making it difficult to distribute evenly. Furthermore, existing stirring structures are often fixed installations, making cleaning and maintenance extremely inconvenient. After each use, material residue easily adheres to the stirring components. If not cleaned promptly, this not only breeds bacteria, affecting the hygiene standards of subsequent cooking, but also may impair the stirring effect due to the accumulation of residual material, leading to reduced cooking efficiency. To address this technical problem, this application proposes a cooking device for processing plant materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cooking device for processing plant materials. During the cooking process, the rotating spiral blades turn the material at the bottom of the sieve to the top, promoting the circulation of the material and making the material heat more evenly. Driven by the bevel gear transmission structure, the stirring rod rotates in the opposite direction to the spiral blades, stirring the material and further accelerating heat transfer, thus greatly improving the cooking efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooking device for processing plant materials includes a cooking chamber. Two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooking chamber. Sliding sleeves are slidably connected to the adjacent ends of the two sliding rods. Limiting rods are fixedly connected to the rear side of the adjacent ends of the sliding sleeves.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 5, one embodiment of this utility model provides a cooking device for processing plant materials, including a cooking chamber 1. Two sliding rods 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooking chamber 1. Sliding sleeves 18 are slidably connected to the adjacent ends of the two sliding rods 17. Limiting rods 23 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of the adjacent ends of the sliding sleeves 18. Fixed sleeves 19 are rotatably connected to the middle of the adjacent ends of the two sliding sleeves 18. The fixed sleeves 19 are connected to the fixed sleeves 19 via a second magnet 22, a limiting block 20, and a first magnet 21. A strainer 24 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the 9th chamber. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooking chamber 1. A rotating rod 9 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 6 through a limiting sleeve 7 and bolts 8. A spiral blade 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. A stirring rod 15 is connected to the top side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 9 through bevel gear 11, bevel gear 22 and bevel gear 3 13. The stirring rod 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. Both the stirring rod 15 and the spiral blade 16 are set on the inner wall of the strainer 24. A drive component is installed at the top of the cooking chamber 1 through a fixing frame.

[0026] Specifically, when the rotating rod 6 rotates, it drives the connected rotating rod 9 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the spiral blade 16 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral blade 16, the material at the bottom of the strainer 24 is stirred to the top, promoting the circulation of the material and making the material heat more evenly. The stirring rod 15 starts to rotate under the drive of the bevel gear 13, stirring the material and further accelerating heat transfer and improving cooking efficiency. Using the cooperation of the sliding rod 17 and the sliding sleeve 18, the strainer 24 is smoothly pulled out of the cooking chamber 1. Then, the stirring roller, including the stirring rod 15 and the... Spiral blade 16 is installed inside the swivel bucket 24. After installation, the plant material to be steamed is placed into the swivel bucket 24. Conversely, the swivel bucket 24 is pulled out of the steaming chamber 1 by sliding rod 17 and sliding sleeve 18. At this time, the swivel bucket 24 is rotated so that the magnet 21 on the inner wall of the limiting block 20 at the top of the fixing sleeve 19 is no longer magnetically connected to the magnet 22 on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 19. This makes it easy to unload the material in the swivel bucket 24. After unloading, the swivel bucket 24 is rotated back to its original position so that the magnet 21 and the magnet 22 are magnetically connected again, thereby fixing the swivel bucket 24 for the next use.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1, 4, and 5, a second magnet 22 is located on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 19. A limiting block 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed sleeve 19, and a first magnet 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 20. Magnets 21 and 22 attract each other due to their opposite polarity. A limiting sleeve 7 is located on the outer wall of the rotating rod 6. The limiting sleeve 7 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 6, and a bolt 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 7. The bolt 8 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 6. A bevel gear 11 is located on the top side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. A bevel gear 12 is meshed at the left end of the bevel gear 11, and a bevel gear 13 is meshed at the right end of the bevel gear 12. The bevel gear 13 is fixed. Connected to the top of the stirring rod 15, the outer wall of the rotating rod 2 9 is rotatably connected to the protective box 10, the right end of the protective box 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 14, the fixing rod 14 is set on the inner wall of the sieve 24, the bevel gear 1 11, bevel gear 2 12 and bevel gear 3 13 are all rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective box 10, the top of the cooking chamber 1 is mounted with the motor 5 through the fixing frame, the drive end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 1 6, the front end of the cooking chamber 1 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 is connected to the cooking chamber 1 through the locking buckle, the inner wall of the cooking chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the heater 4, the front end of the cooking chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 3, and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the valve;

[0028] Specifically, the rotating rod 29 is engaged with the rotating rod 16, and the sliding limiting sleeve 7 is moved to a suitable position on the outer wall of the rotating rod 16, thus initially limiting the relative position of the rotating rod 16 and the rotating rod 29. Then, the bolt 8 is rotated to screw into the inner wall of the rotating rod 16, further fixing the limiting sleeve 7, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the rotating rod 16 and the rotating rod 29. When the rotating rod 29 rotates, the bevel gear 11 on the top side of its outer wall will also rotate. The bevel gear 11 meshes with the bevel gear 212, driving the bevel gear 212 to rotate. The bevel gear 212 then meshes with the bevel gear 313, causing the bevel gear 313 to rotate in the opposite direction. Since the bevel gear 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring rod 15, the stirring rod 15 begins to rotate under the drive of the bevel gear 313, stirring the material, further accelerating heat transfer, and improving cooking efficiency. The heater 4 can heat the water in the cooking tank 1. The heated water produces steam, which is used to heat the contents of the strainer 24. Plant materials are steamed. The protective box 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 9, and the right end is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 14. The internal bevel gear 11, bevel gear 22, and bevel gear 313 are installed to protect these transmission components and prevent materials and water vapor from entering and affecting their normal operation. At the same time, the fixing rod 14 is set on the inner wall of the sluice box 24, which provides a certain limit for itself and the rotating rod 9. It also provides a connection structure for the installation and disassembly of the rotating rod 9 and the protective box 10. The cover plate 2 is installed at the front end of the steaming chamber 1 and is connected to the steaming chamber 1 by a buckle. The rear end of the cover plate 2 is equipped with a rubber ring to provide a sealing effect during the steaming process, preventing water vapor leakage and ensuring the stability of the steaming environment. When loading and unloading materials, the cover plate 2 can be opened for easy operation. The water outlet pipe 3 is fixed at the front end of the steaming chamber 1 and a valve is installed on the outer wall to drain the water in the steaming chamber 1. After steaming, the water can be drained by controlling the valve to facilitate subsequent cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.

[0029] Working principle: First, open the cover plate 2, pull the strainer 24 out of the cooking chamber 1 through the sliding rod 17 and sliding sleeve 18, install the stirring roller into the strainer 24 through the fixing rod 14, then put the plant material to be cooked into the strainer 24, push the strainer 24 back into the cooking chamber 1, add an appropriate amount of water into the cooking chamber 1, then engage the rotating rod 2 9 with the rotating rod 1 6, and use the sliding limit sleeve 7 to limit the rotating rod 1 6 and the rotating rod 2 9, then rotate the bolt 8 into the rotating rod 1 6 to limit the limit sleeve 7, then close the cover plate 2, start the heater 4 to heat the water with the heat generated by the heater 4, and then cook the plant material in the strainer 24 with steam. At the same time, start the motor 5 to drive the rotating rod 1 6 to rotate. Rotating rod 6 drives rotating rod 9 to rotate, which in turn drives spiral blade 16 to rotate, turning the material at the bottom of the sieve 24 to the top. When rotating rod 9 rotates, it drives bevel gear 11 to rotate. Then, under the meshing of bevel gear 12, bevel gear 13 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving stirring rod 15 to rotate and stir the material. After the material is cooked, the cover plate 2 is opened and the sieve 24 is pulled out through sliding rod 17 and sliding sleeve 18. The sieve 24 is then rotated to cancel the magnetic attraction between magnet 21 and magnet 22, and the material in the sieve 24 is unloaded. After unloading, the sieve 24 is rotated back to its original position, and magnet 21 and magnet 22 are reconnected to fix the sieve 24.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
