Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo shoot processing technology, specifically a pre-cooking device for processing bamboo shoots into canned goods. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-cooking is an indispensable step in the bamboo shoot processing. It aims to soften the bamboo shoot fibers through appropriate heat treatment, remove some of the bitterness, and prepare them for subsequent processing steps such as slicing, packaging, or pickling.

[0003] However, in the currently widely used processing methods, the pre-cooked bamboo shoots are often transported manually. This step is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also greatly limits the improvement of overall production efficiency. Manual transport may also result in bamboo shoot damage, quality degradation due to improper temperature control, and increased labor costs. To improve production efficiency and ensure product quality, the industry is actively seeking automated or semi-automated transport solutions, such as using advanced technologies like robotic arms and conveyor belt systems, to achieve seamless transitions from pre-cooking to the next process, reduce human intervention, and ensure the hygiene and safety of the bamboo shoots during processing.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment provides a pre-cooking device for processing bamboo shoots into canned goods, used for pre-cooking bamboo shoots.

[0022] Specifically, it includes a heating tank 1, a discharge box 2, a pushing component 3, and a discharge component 4; the discharge box 2 is connected to the heating tank 1 through a connecting pipe 9, and a feeding hopper 5 is connected to the heating tank 1. The front end of the heating tank 1 is provided with a discharge port. The pushing component 3 is located inside the heating tank 1 to push bamboo shoots into the discharge box 2. The discharge component 4 is installed inside the discharge box 2.

[0023] Furthermore, a drain pipe 6 is horizontally arranged inside the discharge box 2. Several nozzles 7 are connected to the outside of the drain pipe 6. A connecting pipe 8 is connected to one end of the drain pipe 6, and the connecting pipe 8 is connected to an external water supply device.

[0024] In actual use, bamboo shoots enter the heating tank 1 from the feeding hopper 5. After being pre-cooked by the pushing component 3, they are pushed to the discharge box 2. The discharge component 4 then discharges the pre-cooked bamboo shoots. At the same time, the nozzles 7 in the discharge box 2 can rinse the bamboo shoots.

[0025] In detail, the pushing component 3 includes a spiral roller 301 that rotates between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the heating tank 1, and a drive motor 302 whose output end is connected to the spiral roller 301 on the heating tank 1. The spiral roller 301 is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the heating tank 1.

[0026] In actual use, bamboo shoots are fed into heating tank 1 from feeding hopper 5, drive motor 302 is started to drive spiral roller 301 to rotate, pushing bamboo shoots forward in heating tank 1, and pre-cooking bamboo shoots at the same time. The pre-cooked bamboo shoots enter discharge box 2 through discharge port of heating tank 1.

[0027] In more detail, in order to lift and transfer the bamboo shoots inside the discharge box 2, the discharge assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a discharge port 401 opened on the front side of the inner wall of the discharge box 2. Support plates 402 are installed on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the discharge port 401.
