Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically relating to a food production steamer. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing industry, especially for the production of steamed foods such as bowls and trays, existing steaming equipment often has some shortcomings. Traditional steamers have a relatively simple structure, and the way steam is introduced may cause steam to directly impact the food trays, resulting in uneven heating and affecting the quality of the finished food. During the steaming process, the food trays are designed to be stacked in multiple layers, and the steam temperature is inconsistent between the top and bottom, ultimately leading to inconsistent product quality.
[0003] Meanwhile, if the condensate generated inside the steamer cannot be effectively drained, it may contaminate the food. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks a reasonable method for handling excess steam generated during the steaming process, easily leading to steam waste. Moreover, the cooling process after steaming is often inefficient, failing to meet the continuous requirements of large-scale food production. Most existing equipment is structurally monolithic, making it inconvenient for later transportation and installation, thus limiting its application flexibility in different production scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a food production steamer that aims to solve the problem of uneven heating caused by direct steam impact on food.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A food production steamer includes a frame and a steamer. The steamer includes an upper steam hood and a lower steam hood, which are arranged opposite to each other and fixedly connected to the frame. The upper steam hood is located above the lower steam hood, and there is a gap between the upper and lower steam hoods for food to pass through. The lower steam hood is provided with a steam pipe, and the steam pipe is provided with a steam exhaust hole, which faces the lower steam hood.
[0007] The steam discharge port is provided in several places.
[0008] The steam discharge port consists of at least two through holes with different inclination angles.
[0009] The lower steam hood is equipped with a support plate, which supports the steam pipe; the support plate is equipped with a discharge hole, and the lower steam hood is connected to the first drain pipe.
[0010] It also includes a fume extraction hood, which is fixedly mounted on the frame and located on one side of the steam chamber; the bottom of the fume extraction hood has an open structure, and the steam in the steam chamber enters the fume extraction hood through the gap from the bottom of the fume extraction hood; the fume extraction hood is equipped with an exhaust fan.
[0011] The vacuum hood is equipped with a liquid collection tank and is connected to a second drain pipe.
[0012] The frame is equipped with an air-cooling component, which is located behind or below the steam oven.
[0013] The air-cooling assembly includes a blower and a baffle; the blower and the baffle are arranged opposite to each other and are both fixedly connected to the frame.
[0014] The air-cooling components are provided in multiple units, and these multiple air-cooling components are arranged alternately.
[0015] The frame consists of at least two frames that are detachably connected.
[0016] The two frames are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] This food steamer, through its unique steam hood structure and optimized steam exhaust port design, avoids steam being sprayed directly onto the food tray, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating and ensuring the stability of the finished food quality.
[0019] The condensate collection and drainage system, including the installation of a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe, prevents condensate from contaminating food and ensures food hygiene and safety. The combination of the exhaust hood and the exhaust fan can extract excess steam and prevent steam from spreading throughout the production area, thus avoiding dampness and the growth of bacteria and mold, and ensuring the hygiene of the production area.
[0020] The air-cooling components significantly improve the cooling efficiency of steamed food, meeting the continuous requirements of large-scale production. The modular frame design facilitates the transportation and installation of the entire equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a food production steamer includes a frame 1 and a steamer 2. The steamer 2 includes an upper steam hood 20 and a lower steam hood 21, which are arranged opposite to each other and both are fixedly connected to the frame 1. The upper steam hood 20 is located above the lower steam hood 21. There is a gap 22 between the upper steam hood 20 and the lower steam hood 21 for food to pass through.
[0032] Specifically, taking the production of bowl trays as an example, a chain conveyor mechanism 120 is set on the frame 1, and bowl trays 120 are evenly distributed on the chain conveyor; the bowl trays 120 are located between the upper steam hood 20 and the lower steam hood 21. By starting the chain conveyor, the bowl trays 120 can enter the steaming box 2 (upper steam hood 20 and lower steam hood 21) from the interval 22 for steaming.
[0033] A steam pipe 3 is provided on the lower steam hood 21, and a steam exhaust hole 4 is provided on the steam pipe 3. The steam pipe 3 is connected to a steam source, and the steam source is discharged into the steam chamber 2 through the steam exhaust hole 4. The steam exhaust hole 4 is set towards the lower steam hood 21, so that the steam is sprayed down the lower steam hood 21 and then moves upward to contact the bowl tray 120; this avoids the steam being sprayed directly onto the bowl tray 120, which would cause uneven heating and affect the finished quality of the bowl tray.
[0034] Meanwhile, the steam oven 2 also has the function of heat preservation; in order to improve the heat preservation effect, heat preservation cotton can be installed on the upper steam cover 20 and the lower steam cover 21.
[0035] Furthermore, the steam exhaust port 4 is provided with several holes. Specifically, the steam exhaust port 4 consists of at least two through holes 40 with different inclination angles. That is, steam can be sprayed onto the steam hood at multiple angles, further improving the uniform distribution of steam.
[0036] Furthermore, a support plate 5 is provided on the lower steam hood 21, and the support plate 5 is fixed to the lower steam hood 21 by welding. The steam pipe 3 is supported by the support plate 5; a discharge hole 50 is provided on the support plate 5, and the lower steam hood 21 is connected to the first drain pipe 6. The condensate generated in the steam chamber 2 collects at the bottom of the lower steam hood 21 and is finally discharged through the first drain pipe 6. Specifically: in order to better discharge the condensate, the lower steam hood 21 can be set at an angle, with the first drain pipe 6 located at the lower position.
[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a fume extractor 7, which is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 and located on one side of the steam chamber 2; the bottom of the fume extractor 7 has an open structure. The fume extractor 7 is not directly connected to the steam chamber 2, but through the bottom opening structure, excess steam in the steam chamber 2 enters the fume extractor 7 through the gap 22 from the bottom of the fume extractor 7; this avoids excessive forced extraction of steam and avoids steam waste. Specifically, an exhaust fan 8 is provided on the fume extractor 7, and the steam in the fume extractor 7 is drawn out through the exhaust fan 8.
[0038] Furthermore, a liquid collection tank 9 is fixed inside the vacuum hood 7, and the vacuum hood 7 is connected to a second drain pipe 10. The condensate inside the vacuum hood 7 falls down the inner wall of the vacuum hood 7 onto the liquid collection tank 9, and is finally discharged through the second drain pipe 10.
[0039] Furthermore, the frame 1 is equipped with an air-cooling component 11, which is located behind or below the steam oven 2. The specific position of the air-cooling component 11 is set according to the actual situation, that is, the bowl tray 120 is cooled by the air-cooling component 11 after passing through the steam oven 2.
[0040] The chain conveyor mechanism 120 is a ring conveyor structure. Therefore, taking the air-cooling component 11 located below the steamer 2 as an example: after the bowl tray 120 passes through the steamer 2, the bowl tray 120 is conveyed to the air-cooling component 11 by the chain conveyor, and the air-cooling component 11 cools it down.
[0041] Furthermore, the number of air-cooling components 11 can be set according to actual conditions. Each air-cooling component 11 specifically includes a blower 110 and a baffle 111; the blower 110 and baffle 111 are arranged opposite each other and both are fixedly connected to the frame 1. When the blower 110 blows air towards the baffle 111, the baffle 111 can block the airflow from blowing out directly, allowing the airflow to flow along the tray 120. Multiple air-cooling components 11 are arranged alternately, causing the airflow to flow in different directions to form convection, thus improving the cooling effect.
[0042] Furthermore, the frame 1 consists of at least two frame bodies 100, which are detachably connected. That is, the frame 1 adopts a modular structure, which facilitates later transportation and installation. Specifically, the two frame bodies 100 are fixedly connected by bolts. Specifically, the specific number of steam chambers 2 and exhaust hoods 7 can be set according to actual conditions, such as one steam chamber 2 and one exhaust hood 7 on each frame body 100.
[0043] The above description only describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
