[0030] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an integrated steaming and cooking device includes a tank body 1, a lid 2, an inner liner 3, a hanger 4, a drive mechanism 5, a guide mechanism 6, a heating device 7, and a drain valve 8. The tank body 1 is a vertical cylindrical structure with universal casters 13 equipped with brakes at the bottom. Stainless steel lifting lugs 9 for hoisting and handling are symmetrically welded to the outer top of the tank body 1. A control panel 11 is located on the outer side of the tank body 1, integrating a touch screen, power switch, lifting control buttons, temperature and time setting buttons, and status indicator lights, forming the human-machine interface of the device. The lid 2 is fitted onto the top of the tank body 1 via heavy-duty hinges, and has a silicone sealing ring at the edge. The inner liner 3 is a stainless steel basket with through holes evenly distributed on the side walls and bottom. The hanger 4 is a horizontal cross-shaped stainless steel frame located inside the tank body 1. The center of the hanger 4 is connected to the rope end loop at the end of the flexible traction component 53 of the drive mechanism 5 via a quick-release buckle, enabling quick disassembly. Multiple U-shaped quick-release hooks are welded at equal intervals on the crossbeam of the hanger 4; the upper ends of multiple stainless steel rods 14 are equipped with hooks that can be directly hooked into the U-shaped hooks. The opening of the inner liner 3 has an outward-curved reinforced edge; the lower end of the rod 14 is equipped with a J-shaped hook that hooks onto the rolled edge of the inner liner 3. This three-stage quick-connect structure allows the inner liner 3, rods 14, and hanger 4 to be quickly separated for thorough cleaning. The drive mechanism 5 is located inside the lid 2. The guide mechanism 6 is located between the inner wall of the tank body 1 and the hanger 4, and includes a vertical guide rail 62 located on the inner wall of the tank body 1 and a nylon guide wheel 61 located on the hanger 4 and cooperating with the vertical guide rail 62. The heating device 7 is located in the tank body 1. The drain valve 8 is installed at the lowest point of the side wall of the tank body 1 via a flange seal.
[0032] In the above embodiment, the inner surface of the lid 2 is machined with a conical surface inclined towards the center to form a condensation reflux structure, which can condense the steam rising during steaming into droplets on the inner surface of the lid 2 and guide them to flow back into the cooking liquid along the barrel wall, thus achieving efficient recovery of flavor substances.
[0033] In the above embodiment, the drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51 disposed inside the lid 2, a reel 52 driven by the motor 51, and a flexible traction member 53 wound around the reel 52 and connected to the hanger 4. The flexible traction member 53 is a stainless steel wire rope with a polyurethane coating; the lid 2 is provided with a self-tightening silicone sealing bushing 54 for the wire rope to pass through. The motor 51 provides power to drive the hanger 4 to rise and fall by retracting the flexible traction member 53. The sealing bushing 54 can effectively prevent steam in the cooking cavity from entering the compartment where the drive mechanism 5 is located, protecting the motor 51.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the guiding mechanism 6 includes a vertical guide rail 62 disposed on the inner wall of the barrel 1, and a guide wheel 61 disposed on the hanger 4 and cooperating with the vertical guide rail 62. The guide wheel 61 is a nylon wheel with deep grooves. The vertical guide rail 62 is a stainless steel round rod, with a detachable high-position limiting block 64 fixed to its top end by an internal hex bolt, and a limiting stop block 63 welded to its bottom end. The high-position limiting block 64 and the limiting stop block 63 together limit the lifting stroke of the hanger 4. When the hanger 4 is in the low position, its entire body is above the surface of the cooking liquid. This structure ensures that the hanger 4 can only be lifted and lowered vertically and smoothly along a predetermined path, and prevents accidental slippage by the limiting stop block 63, and all transmission components are prevented from being immersed in liquid. The detachable design of the high-position limiting block 64 facilitates thorough cleaning of the top area of the guide rail 62.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the heating device 7 is an indirect heating system, which includes a heating jacket disposed within the wall of the barrel 1, a flange-type electric heating tube disposed within the heating jacket, and heat-conducting oil filled within the heating jacket. The electric heating tube is powered by an external power source, which completely physically isolates the heat source from the cooking liquid, ensuring uniform heating without the risk of contamination, and meeting food processing hygiene standards.
[0036] In the above embodiment, a waterproof power interface 10 is provided on the outer wall of the barrel 1. After the external mains power is connected through this interface 10, it is divided into two paths: one path powers the heating element of the heating device 7 to generate heat; the other path powers the control unit of the equipment and the transmitter of the wireless power supply system. According to the preset control circuit, the control unit directly controls the power and start / stop of the heating device 7, and controls the lifting and lowering action of the drive mechanism 5 through wireless signals, thereby completing the automatic cooking process in a coordinated manner.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the drive mechanism 5 further includes a wireless power receiving coil and a battery disposed inside the lid 2, and the motor 51 is powered by the battery. The device also includes a control unit disposed in the barrel body 1. The control unit is electrically connected to the control panel 11, receives operation commands, and feeds back status information to the display screen. The control unit is signal-connected to the wireless power receiving coil for receiving wireless control signals. This wireless control method eliminates the need for electrical cables between the lid 2 and the barrel body 1, simplifies the opening and closing structure, completely avoids the influence of the steam environment on the wiring, and improves the overall sealing and reliability of the device.
[0038] In the above embodiment, the control unit is electrically connected to the heating device 7. The control unit is pre-installed with a control module that controls the temperature and time of steaming and cooking. This control module is existing technology and can automatically control the start, stop and power of the heating device 7 according to the actual working conditions, as well as control the lifting and lowering action of the drive mechanism 5 through wireless signals, thereby realizing one-button automatic operation of the entire process from steaming to cooking, reducing the difficulty of operation and ensuring the consistency of product processing.
[0039] In the above embodiment, an elliptical heat-resistant glass observation window 12 is provided on the side wall of the tank body 1. The observation window 12 is sealed with a food-grade silicone ring, and its inner surface is flush with the inner wall of the tank body 1, which allows the operator to directly observe the internal liquid level and cooking status without opening the lid, thus ensuring process stability and operational safety.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0041] During operation, cooking liquid is added to the container 1, and the inner liner 3 containing the materials is hung on the lifting rod 14 via a J-hook. The control panel 11 is activated, and the heating element of the heating device 7 is energized and heats up, evenly transferring heat to the container through the heat transfer oil and heating jacket. Simultaneously, the control unit sends a command to the wireless power supply receiver module of the drive mechanism 5 via a wireless signal, starting the motor 51, which drives the winding reel 52 to tighten the flexible traction component 53. Through the traction of the sealed bushing 54, the lifting frame 4 is smoothly lifted to a high position along the vertical guide rail 62 of the guide mechanism 6, guided by the guide wheel 61 and finally limited by the high-position limit block 64, causing the inner liner 3 to detach from the liquid surface. At this time, the steam generated by heating rises and condenses and flows back on the condensation and reflux structure of the container lid 2, steaming the materials.
[0042] After the steaming step is completed, the control unit controls the drive mechanism 5 to reverse via a wireless signal, the flexible traction component 53 is lowered, and the hanger 4 smoothly descends to the low position along the guide rail 62, immersing the inner pot 3 in the liquid for cooking. The operator can monitor the internal status through the observation window 12.
[0043] After cooking is complete, the control unit stops the heating device 7 and controls the drive mechanism 5 to lift the inner tank 3 to drain the liquid. Finally, the drain valve 8 can be opened to completely drain the liquid for cleaning using the inclined bottom surface inside the tank 1. The lifting lugs 9 on the top of the equipment can be used for overall hoisting and transportation, the omnidirectional casters 13 at the bottom facilitate the movement of the equipment, and the external waterproof power interface 10 provides power to the entire system.
[0044] The entire process is automatic and continuous, requiring no manual handling of materials, thus achieving integration and automation of the cooking process.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
