Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Polygonatum processing technology, specifically a material tray for Polygonatum processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional "nine-steaming and nine-processing" technique for processing Polygonatum, the steaming process involves placing the Polygonatum on a tray, which is then supported by a rod inside the steaming chamber via its side edge. To effectively remove the juices produced during steaming and the moisture condensed on the tray, several through-holes are made in the bottom of the tray. However, the bottom of the tray is usually flat, and the Polygonatum spread in it covers a large area of ​​these through-holes. Especially during the steaming process after the Polygonatum slices have softened, they adhere even more tightly to the tray, preventing the liquid from draining smoothly. This not only hinders the timely exudation of moisture from the Polygonatum itself but also affects the effectiveness of subsequent drying processes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a material tray for processing Polygonatum sibiricum.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A material tray for processing Polygonatum sibiricum includes a tray bottom and a tray edge extending outward along its edge. The tray bottom has a continuous wave-shaped cross section, forming alternating peaks and troughs. Several liquid outlet holes are vertically opened on the troughs. A liquid collection trough is also provided on the lower side of the tray bottom. A liquid outlet is provided on one side of the liquid collection trough. An adjustment component is provided on the side of the tray edge opposite to the liquid outlet. The adjustment component is configured to adjust the tilt angle of the tray bottom.

[0006] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the liquid collection tank is V-shaped or U-shaped.

[0007] Furthermore, the liquid outlet is a vertical circular hole or a conical hole with an upper diameter smaller than the lower diameter.

[0008] As one implementation method, the two sides of the liquid collection tank are connected to the bottom two sides of the pan.

[0009] As another implementation method, a liquid collection tank is inserted into the lower side of each trough of the bottom of the pan.

[0010] Preferably, the depth of the trough is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the total thickness of the bottom of the plate, and the spacing between adjacent peaks is 50mm to 80mm.

[0011] The above-mentioned processing tray for Polygonatum odoratum has a bottom, edge and liquid collection tank made of food-grade stainless steel, and the bottom and edge are integrally stamped.

[0012] In one implementation, the adjustment component includes a screw vertically mounted on the edge of the disc, and a locking nut is screwed onto the screw located on both the upper and lower sides of the disc edge.

[0013] Furthermore, a circular support block is provided at the lower end of the screw, and the diameter of the support block is larger than the outer diameter of the screw.

[0014] The material tray for processing Polygonatum sibiricum, as described above, has a bottom thickness of 1.5mm-3mm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a material tray for processing Polygonatum sibiricum are as follows:

[0016] 1. By designing the bottom of the pan as a continuous wave-shaped structure, the crests form a support area for the Polygonatum material, allowing the Polygonatum to be naturally suspended above the crests during steaming. This avoids the problem of material accumulation covering the liquid outlet holes in traditional flat pans, while the liquid outlet holes in the troughs can quickly discharge the juice and water vapor produced during steaming.

[0017] 2. The adjustment component can dynamically adjust the tilt angle of the pan bottom, allowing the liquid to flow along the wavy pan bottom to the outlet of the liquid collection tank, which significantly improves the drainage efficiency, improves the water seepage effect of Polygonatum and is beneficial to the subsequent drying quality.

[0018] 3. When using multi-layer material trays stacked together, this structural design controls the tilt direction of the bottom of each tray through the adjustment component, so that the liquid discharged from the upper tray flows in a directional direction through the liquid collection tank, avoiding the direct dripping of uncollected liquid onto the surface of the lower tray. This not only prevents the lower material from being contaminated by the upper liquid, but also enables the independent collection and treatment of the liquid from the steaming of Polygonatum material on different trays through stratified liquid collection, effectively improving the standardization of the Polygonatum processing process and the stability of the finished product quality.

[0025] 1. Pan bottom; 11. Liquid outlet; 12. Liquid collection tank; 121. Liquid outlet; 2. Pan rim; 3. Adjustment components. Detailed Implementation

[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a material tray for processing Polygonatum sibiricum, including a rectangular tray bottom 1 and an annular tray edge 2 extending upward along its edge. The tray edge 2 can be stably supported on a support rod inside the steaming box. The cross-section of the tray bottom 1 is continuously wavy, with alternating peaks and troughs formed by integral stamping with a mold. Several liquid outlet holes 11 are vertically opened on the troughs of the tray bottom 1. The Polygonatum sibiricum material is supported by the peaks of the wavy tray bottom 1, and the juice and water vapor generated during the steaming process flow from the peaks to the liquid outlet holes 11 in the troughs and are discharged. This solves the problem of the liquid outlet holes 11 being blocked by Polygonatum sibiricum material in traditional flat tray bottoms.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 The liquid outlet 11 is a vertical circular hole, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. It is suitable for regular liquid drainage needs. In some cases, the liquid outlet 11 can also be a conical hole with a diameter at the upper end smaller than that at the lower end, so as to use the difference in hole diameter to form a guiding slope, prevent the Huangjing fragments or fibers from clogging the liquid outlet 11, and at the same time expand the flow area at the bottom of the hole to accelerate the liquid discharge, ensuring that the liquid generated during the steaming process passes through the liquid outlet 11 in a timely manner, and avoid liquid accumulation affecting the steaming effect of the material.

[0028] The depth of the trough is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the total thickness of the bottom plate 11, and the spacing between adjacent peaks is 50mm to 80mm. This ensures that the peaks effectively support the Polygonatum material and prevents the material (Polygonatum / Polygonatum slices) from accumulating and covering the liquid outlet 11, while also creating sufficient drainage space. Furthermore, the spacing between adjacent peaks of 50mm to 80mm conforms to the conventional laying density of Polygonatum material, ensuring that the material is evenly distributed on the bottom plate 1. At the same time, it ensures that the spacing of the liquid outlet 11 in the trough is reasonable, taking into account both drainage efficiency and material bearing capacity.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the tray 1 is also provided with a liquid collection tank 12. The liquid collection tank 12 has a liquid outlet 121 on one side. The edge of the tray 2 is provided with an adjustment component 3 on the side opposite to the liquid outlet 121. The adjustment component 3 is designed to adjust the tilt angle of the tray bottom 1. The tilt angle of the tray bottom 1 can be dynamically adjusted by adjusting the adjustment component 3 (such as increasing the tilt angle to accelerate the drainage when the initial moisture content is high, and reducing the angle to maintain material stability in the later stage). This allows the liquid to flow from the liquid collection tank 12 to the liquid outlet 121 of the liquid collection tank 12, which significantly improves the drainage efficiency, improves the moisture seepage effect of Polygonatum and is beneficial to the subsequent drying quality.

[0030] Especially when multiple trays are stacked, this structural design controls the tilt direction of the bottom 1 of each tray through the adjustment component 3, so that the liquid discharged from the upper tray flows in a directional manner through the liquid collection tank 12, avoiding the direct dripping of uncollected liquid onto the surface of the lower tray. This not only prevents the lower material from being contaminated by the upper liquid, but also enables the independent collection and treatment of the liquid from the steaming of Polygonatum materials on different trays through stratified liquid collection, effectively improving the standardization of the Polygonatum processing process and the stability of the finished product quality.

[0031] The cross-sectional shape of the liquid collection tank 12 is U-shaped (e.g., Figure 2 The liquid collection tank 12 is either V-shaped or U-shaped, with a guide slope on the inner wall to guide the liquid to converge towards the outlet 121, reducing the liquid retention in the liquid collection tank 12; the open cross-section design facilitates subsequent cleaning operations, avoids residual juice from becoming moldy and contaminating the material, and at the same time enhances the structural strength of the liquid collection tank 12 to prevent deformation due to high temperature during the steaming process.

[0032] To facilitate subsequent cleaning of the liquid collection tank 12, the two sides of the liquid collection tank 12 are connected to the bottom two sides of the pan bottom 1.

[0033] In some cases, each trough of the bottom of the tray 1 may be connected to a liquid collection tank 12, which can collect the drained liquid in the corresponding area. At the same time, the independent connection design ensures that the maintenance of a single liquid collection tank 12 does not affect other areas.

[0034] The bottom of the pan 1, the rim of the pan 2, and the liquid collection tank 12 are all made of food-grade stainless steel. The bottom of the pan 1 and the rim of the pan 2 are integrally stamped. Food-grade stainless steel has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning, which meets the hygiene standards for food processing and avoids the material from being contaminated by metal during the steaming process. The integral stamping process of the bottom of the pan 1 and the rim of the pan 2 eliminates welding or splicing gaps, improves the overall structural strength, prevents liquid from seeping into the interlayer and growing bacteria, and simplifies the processing flow and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 The adjusting component 3 includes a screw vertically mounted on the rim 2, and locking nuts are screwed onto the screws located on both the upper and lower sides of the rim 2. By rotating the upper and lower locking nuts, the extension length of the screws can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the rim 1 to adapt to the drainage requirements of different steaming stages.

[0036] The lower end of the screw is also equipped with a circular support block. The diameter of the support block is larger than the outer diameter of the screw. The circular support block increases the contact area between the screw and the support surface of the steamer, preventing the inner wall of the steamer from being worn or deformed due to excessive local pressure at the lower end of the screw.

[0037] The thickness of the bottom plate 1 is 1.5mm-3mm, balancing structural strength and lightweight requirements: if the thickness is too thin, the wavy bottom plate 1 will easily deform during high-temperature steaming; if the thickness is too thick, it will increase the weight and cost of the tray. This thickness range ensures that the tray maintains a stable wavy structure during long-term use, while also conforming to the lightweight design trend of food processing equipment and reducing the load on the steamer.
