Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steaming and cooking kitchen equipment technology, and in particular relates to a steaming and cooking device for fresh corn. Background Technology
[0002] When steaming corn, using high-temperature steam to cook the corn directly can effectively reduce the loss of vitamins and maximize the preservation of the corn's sweetness. However, there are problems with using high-temperature steam to cook corn directly: the steam cooks the corn from bottom to top, which can cause uneven heating of the corn in the steamer. Furthermore, when the steam reaches the top of the steamer lid, it will condense into water and drip onto the upper side of the corn, causing the vitamins in the corn kernels on the upper side to dissolve in the water, resulting in nutrient loss.
[0003] To address these issues, we provide a fresh corn steaming and cooking device. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model is a steaming device for fresh corn, including a steaming chamber 1 and a skewer component 2. The skewer component 2 includes a horizontal slide bar 201, a tumbling drive assembly 202, and a set of skewers 203. A horizontal slide bar 201 is fixedly installed inside the steaming chamber 1. A set of skewer sleeves 201a are rotatably sleeved on the horizontal slide bar 201. A skewer 203 is rotatably installed on the skewer sleeves 201a. The corn to be steamed is skewered onto the skewer 203. The skewer 203 is laid flat, and one end of the skewer 203 is inserted into a skewer rolling groove 101 opened on one side panel of the steaming chamber 1. The skewer 203 is rotated to allow the corn to tumble. The corn is kept rotating during steaming in the steamer 1, so that the steam can evenly steam the corn. At the same time, the tumbling causes the condensation dripping onto the surface of the corn to fall off from the outside of the corn, thus avoiding the loss of nutrients from the corn kernels. A tumbling drive assembly 202 is set on one side of the steamer 1, and a roller 203a is sleeved at one end of the skewer 203 that passes through the skewer groove 101. The tumbling drive assembly 202 is connected to the roller 203a for transmission. The tumbling drive assembly 202 drives the roller 203a to rotate, thereby driving the skewer 203 to rotate, so that the corn on the skewer 203 keeps tumbling in the steamer 1.
[0027] Specifically, the two ends of the horizontal slide bar 201 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the two ends of the steamer 1. A set of skewer sleeves 201a are rotatably sleeved on the horizontal slide bar 201. One end of each skewer 203 is detachably rotatably installed on one side of the skewer sleeve 201a. The length direction of the skewer 203 is perpendicular to the length direction of the horizontal slide bar 201. A set of skewer rolling grooves 101 are opened through one side plate of the steamer 1. Each skewer 203 is sleeved in each skewer rolling groove 101. The tumbling drive assembly 202 is set on the outer side plate of the steamer 1 with the skewer rolling grooves 101. A roller 203a is detachably sleeved on the outer side of one end of the skewer 203 that passes through the skewer rolling grooves 101. The roller 203a is connected to the tumbling drive assembly 202 for transmission.
[0028] Furthermore, the tumbling drive assembly 202 includes a tumbling conveyor belt 202a and a drive motor 202b.

One roller 202a-1 is rotatably installed on the outer side plate of the steamer 1 with the skewer roller groove 101. The other roller 202a-1 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the drive motor 202b. The lower end wheel surface of the roller 203a is in contact with the upper end belt surface of the tumbling conveyor belt 202a. The drive motor 202b drives the roller 202a-1 to rotate, causing the tumbling conveyor belt 202a to rotate and driving the roller 203a to rotate, thereby driving the skewer 203 to rotate.
[0029] Furthermore, the inner shaft of the roller 203a is a rectangular square hole, and a square sleeve rod 203b is fixedly installed through a section of the skewer 203 through the skewer rolling groove 101. The square sleeve rod 203b is sleeved in the rectangular square hole of the roller 203a. When the roller 203a is driven to rotate by the tumbling conveyor belt 202a, the rectangular square hole in the roller 203a drives the square sleeve rod 203b to rotate, thereby causing the skewer 203 to rotate.
[0030] Furthermore, a baffle edge 203a-1 is fixed on the outer side of the roller 203a near the steamer 1. The side of the baffle edge 203a-1 near the tumbling conveyor belt 202a is attached to the side of the tumbling conveyor belt 202a to prevent the roller 203a from falling off the skewer 203.
[0031] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0032] The skewer 203 is threaded through the corn, and one end of the skewer 203 is then fitted onto the side of the skewer sleeve 201a. The skewer sleeve 201a is rotated so that the end of the skewer 203 away from the skewer sleeve 201a is fitted into the skewer roller groove 101. The roller 203a is fitted onto the outside of the square sleeve rod 203b of the skewer 203. The surface of the roller 203a is brought into contact with the surface of the tumbling conveyor belt 202a. The drive motor 202b drives the roller 202a-1 to rotate, causing the tumbling conveyor belt 202a to rotate and drive the roller 203a to rotate, which in turn drives the skewer 203 to rotate.
