Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of continuous steam oven technology, and more particularly to continuous steam oven. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the pet economy, the pet food market continues to expand. As an important category of pet food, cat food has seen explosive growth in market demand. Nowadays, more and more pet owners are paying more and more attention to the quality of cat food, requiring not only balanced nutrition but also strict standards for taste and safety. Against this backdrop, cat food manufacturers face enormous challenges, needing to ensure high product quality while achieving large-scale and efficient production.
[0003] Traditional steam and bake equipment has many shortcomings in its working principle;
[0004] 1) The heating and steam supply system is poorly designed, resulting in unstable heat and steam distribution. This makes it impossible to evenly transfer heat when steaming or baking cat food. Some cat food pellets are burnt and their nutritional components are damaged, while others are not fully cooked due to insufficient heating and incomplete sterilization. The unstable steam supply also leads to uneven drying of the cat food, affecting its shelf life and taste.
[0005] 2) From the perspective of the workflow, traditional equipment adopts a single-batch mode. After each round of steaming and baking, the machine needs to be stopped to load and unload materials, which cannot achieve continuous operation and greatly reduces production efficiency. Faced with the increasing market demand for cat food, the daily output of traditional equipment is far less than the market sales, and there is often a situation of supply falling short of demand, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale production.

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1- Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides, as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a device housing 1, and a conveying assembly 2 is provided inside the device housing 1; the conveying assembly 2 includes a motor 201, a first gear 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201, a second gear 203 is meshed with the outer wall of the first gear 202, and a heat-conducting sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second gear 203.
[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that the motor 201, as a power source, can transmit the rotational power of the motor to the heat-conducting sleeve 204 through the meshing transmission of the first gear 202 and the second gear 203, thereby realizing the rotation of the heat-conducting sleeve 204. This transmission method is relatively stable, and the rotational speed of the heat-conducting sleeve 204 can be adjusted according to the gear ratio to adapt to different working requirements. The rotation of the heat-conducting sleeve driven by the motor provides the basic motion conditions for subsequent functions such as material conveying and heat transfer.
[0027] Example 2: As Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a heat source generating component 3 is provided inside the heat-conducting sleeve 204; the heat source generating component 3 includes a steam generating sleeve 301, a set of infrared electric heating modules 302 is provided on the outer surface of the steam generating sleeve 301, one end of the steam generating sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to a water supply connecting pipe 303, the top of the water supply connecting pipe 303 is fixedly connected to a first connecting flange 304, the other end of the steam generating sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to a second connecting flange 305, the outer surface of the second connecting flange 305 is fixedly connected to a conveying pipe 306, and the outer wall of the conveying pipe 306 is fixedly connected to a set of steam injection pipes 307.
[0028] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is that the steam generating sleeve 301, in conjunction with the infrared electric heating module 302, can generate steam. The water supply connecting pipe 303 is used to add water into the steam generating sleeve 301. The first connecting flange 304 can be used to easily connect to a water source or other related equipment. The second connecting flange 305 and the conveying pipe 306 are used to transport the generated steam to each steam injection pipe 307. A set of steam injection pipes 307 can uniformly inject steam into the equipment, thereby realizing the heating and cooking function of the materials inside the equipment and meeting the process requirements for steam treatment of materials.
[0029] Example 3: As Figures 1-5 As shown, a mounting base 4 is provided at the bottom of the equipment housing 1. A first bracket 41, a second bracket 42 and a third bracket 43 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 4. The top of the first bracket 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the equipment housing 1, the top of the second bracket 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 201, and the top of the third bracket 43 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 306.
[0030] The overall effect of embodiment 3 is that the mounting base 4 provides a stable support foundation for the entire equipment; the first bracket 41 fixes the equipment shell 1 on the mounting base 4, ensuring the stability of the equipment shell; the second bracket 42 supports the motor 201, keeping the motor stable during operation and preventing the normal operation of the equipment from being affected by motor vibration; the third bracket 43 fixes the conveying pipe 306, preventing the conveying pipe from shaking or displacing due to pressure and other factors during steam conveying, ensuring the stability and reliability of steam conveying.
[0031] Example 4: The inner side of the equipment housing 1 is rotatably connected to both ends of the heat-conducting sleeve 204. The outer wall of the heat-conducting sleeve 204 is rotatably connected to one end of the equipment housing 1. The inner wall of the heat-conducting sleeve 204 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the steam generating sleeve 301, and the inner wall of the heat-conducting sleeve 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the steam generating sleeve 301. The output end of the steam injection pipe 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the equipment housing 1. One end of the equipment housing 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 11, and the outer wall of the equipment housing 1 is fixedly connected to the feed equipment connecting flange 12.
[0032] The overall effect of embodiment 4 is that the rotatable connection between the equipment housing 1 and the heat-conducting sleeve 204 allows the heat-conducting sleeve 204 to rotate freely within the equipment housing 1. The rotatable connection between the heat-conducting sleeve 204 and the steam-generating sleeve 301 ensures that the steam-generating sleeve 301 can operate relatively stably without interference while the heat-conducting sleeve rotates. The fixed connection between the steam injection pipe 307 and the equipment housing 1 ensures that steam can be accurately injected to the designated location inside the equipment. The discharge port 11 is used to discharge the processed material from the equipment. The feeding device connection flange 12 facilitates connection with the feeding device, enabling continuous material input and allowing the entire equipment to form a complete working cycle. Usage method and working principle: Equipment start-up and preparation... Installation and Connection: Place the entire equipment on the mounting base 4. Secure the outer casing 1 using the first bracket 41. Install the motor 201 using the second bracket 42, ensuring it is firmly in place for subsequent power output. Secure the conveying pipe 306 using the third bracket 43 to ensure a stable steam conveying path. Material Input Preparation: Connect the feeding device to the outer casing 1 via the feeding device connecting flange 12 to establish a material entry channel. Simultaneously, check the tightness of all connections, especially those of the steam generating component 3, such as the connection between the water supply pipe 303 and the steam generating sleeve 301, and the connection between the conveying pipe 306 and the steam generating sleeve 301 and steam injection pipe 307, ensuring no air leaks. Steam generation preparation: Water is injected into the steam generation sleeve 301 through the water inlet pipe 303. After water injection, the first connecting flange 304 is connected to the external water source or related equipment (if necessary). Ensure that the power supply connection of the infrared electric heating module 302 is normal and can work normally to provide energy support for steam generation. Material handling operation process: Material conveying start-up: The motor 201 is turned on. The motor drives the first gear 202 at the output end to rotate. The first gear 202 and the second gear 203 mesh with each other, transmitting power to the second gear 203. This causes the heat-conducting sleeve 204 fixed on the outer surface of the second gear 203 to start rotating. At this time, the material placed on the conveying component 2 begins to move under the drive of the heat-conducting sleeve 204 on the outer shell of the equipment. 1. Internal Movement, Steam Generation and Processing: The infrared electric heating module 302 is activated, heating the water inside the steam generating sleeve 301. The heated water vaporizes into steam, which accumulates inside the steam generating sleeve 301. The steam then enters the conveying pipe 306 through the second connecting flange 305, and is subsequently transported to various steam injection pipes 307. The steam injection pipes 307 evenly inject steam into the interior of the equipment casing 1, heating and cooking the material moving on the conveying assembly 2. As the heat-conducting sleeve 204 continuously rotates and the material continuously moves, it receives steam treatment in an all-round and uniform manner. Material Output: After steam treatment, the material gradually moves to the discharge port 11 as the conveying assembly 2 continues to rotate.Finally, the material is discharged from the outlet 11, completing the entire material handling process. During this process, the material's movement speed within the equipment can be changed by adjusting the speed of the motor 201, and the amount and temperature of steam generated can be controlled by adjusting the power of the infrared heating module 302, according to actual production needs, to meet the processing requirements of different materials.
[0033] The wiring diagrams of the motor 201, infrared electric heating module 302, and steam jet pipe 307 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor 201, infrared electric heating module 302, and steam jet pipe 307 will not be explained in detail.
[0034] 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 other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
