Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pasta processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a high-efficiency and energy-saving steam generator for pasta processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of pasta processing, steam heating is a key step. An efficient steam generator can provide a stable steam flow in a short time to ensure the uniformity of heating during the pasta processing. However, as the steam continuously heats the water source, the steam pressure inside the device will gradually increase. If the steam generator does not have an effective pressure regulation and pressure relief system, once the pressure exceeds the safe range, it may lead to equipment damage, steam leakage, or even dangerous accidents.

[0003] Existing equipment is usually not designed with a sufficiently sensitive pressure release mechanism. Once excessive steam pressure occurs, it is difficult to release the pressure in time, thus causing serious safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving steam generator for pasta processing, comprising a support frame, on which a generating mechanism is mounted. The generating mechanism includes a cylinder, a water tank, a water injection pipe, an external pipe, a material tank, and an outer cover. The cylinder is mounted on the support frame, the water tank is mounted on the top surface of the cylinder, the water injection pipe passes through the cylinder and connects to the water tank, the external pipe is mounted on the cylinder and connects to the water tank, the material tank is placed inside the cylinder, and the outer cover is mounted on the outer wall of the material tank. A pressure relief mechanism is provided at the top of the cylinder, the pressure relief mechanism including a support pipe, a pressure relief sleeve, and an inlet... The system includes a pipe, a sliding rod, a sealing plate, a pressure spring, a contact ring, an adjusting sleeve, a rotating sleeve, a screw, a transmission sleeve, and a positioning mechanism. The support pipe is located on the top surface of the cylinder and connected to the water bucket. The pressure relief sleeve is installed inside the support pipe. The inlet pipe is located at the bottom end of the pressure relief sleeve. The sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the inlet pipe. The sealing sleeve abuts against the bottom surface of the pressure relief sleeve. Multiple sets of pressure springs are installed on the top surface of the sealing plate. The contact ring is connected to the top of the multiple sets of pressure springs. The adjusting sleeve slides inside the pressure relief sleeve. The rotating sleeve is rotatably installed on the top of the pressure relief sleeve. The screw is fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating sleeve. The transmission sleeve is installed inside the adjusting sleeve and threadedly connected to the screw.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning mechanism includes an outer sleeve, a limiting block, a limiting groove, a reset spring, a push spring, and a limiting sleeve. The outer sleeve is disposed on the outer wall of the pressure relief sleeve. Multiple sets of limiting blocks are disposed on the outer sleeve. Multiple sets of limiting grooves are disposed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. The reset spring is connected to the outer wall of the multiple sets of limiting blocks and is connected to the inner side of the outer sleeve. Multiple sets of push springs are disposed and installed on the outer wall of the pressure relief sleeve. The limiting sleeve is installed on the top of the multiple sets of push springs.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a handle is provided on the outer side of the outer cover, and multiple sets of handles are installed on the outer wall of the outer cover. By providing handles, it is easier and less strenuous for users to move or adjust the equipment, and the configuration of multiple sets of handles improves the stability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the inner wall of the pressure relief sleeve is provided with guide strips, and multiple sets of guide strips are provided, all of which are slidably connected to the adjusting sleeve. The guide strips ensure smoother sliding between the pressure relief sleeve and the adjusting sleeve, reduce friction, and improve the stability and accuracy during the pressure relief process.

[0011] This invention is further configured such that a sealing strip is provided on the bottom surface of the sealing plate, and a sealing groove is provided on the inner bottom surface of the pressure relief sleeve. The cooperation between the sealing strip and the sealing groove effectively prevents steam leakage, improves the sealing performance of the equipment, and ensures that steam is effectively retained under normal pressure.

[0012] This invention is further configured such that both ends of the multiple sets of limiting blocks and the limiting grooves are all arc-shaped.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding sleeve is provided on the sealing plate, and the sliding rod is polygonal and slidably connected to the sliding sleeve. The design of the sliding sleeve and the polygonal sliding rod makes the connection between the sealing plate and the pressure relief sleeve more stable and flexible, avoiding unnecessary friction or jamming caused by component shape issues.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving steam generator for pasta processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The steam generation mechanism, through the cooperation of the water inlet pipe and the external pipe, ensures that the water in the water tank can effectively enter the cylinder and quickly evaporate into steam. This steam is then transported to the cooking device through the external pipe, meeting the steam requirements for pasta processing. At the same time, the fuel in the material tank heats the water tank by combustion, providing a stable heat source, making the steam generation process efficient and continuous. This steam generation mechanism not only ensures a stable supply of steam in pasta processing but also improves energy utilization efficiency, reduces energy waste, and achieves the goal of high efficiency and energy saving.

[0018] 2. The pressure relief mechanism plays a crucial role in the steam generation process. When the steam pressure inside the cylinder is too high, the pressure pushes the sealing plate through the inlet pipe, overcoming the preset force of the pressure spring. This creates a flow channel between the sealing plate and the inlet pipe, allowing the pressure to be released smoothly. At this time, the pressure relief sleeve discharges excess pressure, preventing the steam generator from being damaged or leaking dangerously due to excessive pressure. Especially when it is necessary to adjust the pressure relief threshold, the rotation of the sleeve drives the screw and the transmission sleeve to precisely adjust the preset force of the pressure spring, further improving the safety and adjustability of the equipment. This ensures the stable operation of the equipment under different working loads and avoids safety hazards caused by untimely pressure adjustment.

[0019] 3. The positioning mechanism, through the cooperation of components such as the external sleeve, limit block, and return spring, provides precise positioning of the pressure relief mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the preset pressure relief force, the limit sleeve is pushed to release the constraint on the limit block. The rotating sleeve is rotated, and the elasticity of the pressure relief spring is adjusted through the threaded engagement of the screw and the transmission sleeve, ensuring the precise response of the pressure relief mechanism. The limit mechanism, through the arc structure of multiple sets of limit blocks and limit grooves, effectively prevents jamming or misoperation during the adjustment process, improving the adjustment accuracy and reliability of the entire equipment. At the same time, the return spring ensures that the limit block can quickly return to its original position after adjustment, ensuring the normal working state of the equipment. Through this precise positioning mechanism, the equipment can operate stably under various working conditions, achieving precise control of the pressure regulation and pressure relief process, thereby greatly improving the safety, flexibility, and adaptability of the equipment.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the equipment is started, the external pipe 5 is connected to the water tank 3, and the water in the water tank 3 enters the cylinder 2 through the water injection pipe 4. During the heating process, the water in the water tank 3 begins to convert into steam and evaporates inside the cylinder 2. Fuel is placed in the material tank 6 for combustion to heat the water tank 3. The steam is transported to the cooking device through the external pipe 5. When the pressure inside the cylinder 2 is too high, the air pressure pushes the sealing plate 12 through the inlet pipe 10, causing the sealing plate 12 to overcome the preset force of multiple sets of pressure springs 13 and slide along the slide rod 11 through the sliding sleeve 30, thus separating the sealing plate 12 from the inlet pipe 10 to create a flow channel. The air pressure is discharged from the cylinder 2 through the pressure relief sleeve 9. When it is necessary to adjust the preset pressure... When the force is adjusted, the limiting sleeve 24 is pushed to slide along the fixed sleeve to release the contact with the top of the multiple sets of limiting blocks 20. The elastic reset of the multiple sets of reset springs 22 pulls the limiting blocks 20 away from the limiting groove 21, releasing the limitation on the rotating sleeve 16. The rotating sleeve 16 is rotated to drive the screw 17 to rotate and engage with the transmission sleeve 18 through a threaded connection. This causes the transmission sleeve 18 to drive the adjusting sleeve 15 to move longitudinally, compressing or elastically extending the multiple sets of pressure springs 13. Compressing the pressure springs 13 increases the preset force, while elastically extending the multiple sets of pressure springs 13 reduces the preset force.

[0039] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When the equipment is started, the external pipe 5 is connected to the water tank 3, and the water in the water tank 3 enters the cylinder 2 through the water inlet pipe 4. During the heating process, the water in the water tank 3 begins to convert into steam and evaporates inside the cylinder 2. Fuel is placed in the material tank 6 for combustion to heat the water tank 3. The steam is transported to the cooking device through the external pipe 5. When the pressure inside the cylinder 2 is too high, the air pressure pushes the sealing plate 12 through the inlet pipe 10, causing the sealing plate 12 to overcome the preset force of multiple pressure springs 13 and slide along the slide rod 11 through the sliding sleeve 30, thus separating the sealing plate 12 from the inlet pipe 10 to create a flow channel. The air pressure is discharged from the cylinder 2 through the pressure relief sleeve 9. When it is necessary to adjust the preset pressure... When the force is adjusted, the limiting sleeve 24 is pushed to slide along the fixed sleeve to release the contact with the top of the multiple sets of limiting blocks 20. The elastic reset of the multiple sets of reset springs 22 pulls the limiting blocks 20 away from the limiting groove 21, releasing the limitation on the rotating sleeve 16. The rotating sleeve 16 is rotated to drive the screw 17 to rotate and engage with the transmission sleeve 18 through a threaded connection. This causes the transmission sleeve 18 to drive the adjusting sleeve 15 to move longitudinally, compressing or elastically extending the multiple sets of pressure springs 13. Compressing the pressure springs 13 increases the preset force, while elastically extending the multiple sets of pressure springs 13 reduces the preset force.
