Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water boiling machine, and in particular relates to a steam absorption device for water boiling machine. Background Technology
[0002] In bagel production, a boiling process is required. During boiling, the machine heats the liquid to a specific temperature (typically above 80°C). This heating process generates steam. While the machine itself has a lid, the inlet and outlet cannot be completely sealed due to dough placement and removal operations, allowing steam to escape. This steam evaporation leads to condensation on the ceiling, walls, and ventilation openings of the production workshop. This condensation may drip onto the products, affecting quality and increasing food safety risks. Furthermore, the steam creates excessive humidity in the production environment. High humidity makes food absorb moisture, resulting in a poorer texture. It also promotes the growth of mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms, increasing the risk of spoilage. High humidity provides ideal conditions for mold growth, causing mold spots on walls and floors, further increasing food safety concerns. High humidity can also shorten the lifespan of the factory and other machinery. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a steam absorption device for a water boiler, comprising a first gas collecting section, a second gas collecting section, and an extraction pipeline. The first gas collecting section is located above the feed inlet of the water boiler and is used to collect water vapor overflowing from the feed inlet. The second gas collecting section is located above the discharge outlet of the water boiler and is used to collect water vapor overflowing from the discharge outlet. The extraction pipeline is located above the water boiler and connects to the first and second gas collecting sections to discharge the collected water vapor from the production workshop. The extraction pipeline is fixed to the top of the production workshop and is arranged in an inverted Y-shape, with the upper part being the main extraction pipeline 1. An extraction fan (not shown in the figure) is installed on the main extraction pipeline 1. Preferably, the extraction fan is a variable frequency fan, which can adjust the air volume and extraction force, which is more conducive to the discharge of water vapor. Variable frequency fans are existing technology, and their specific structure and connection method will not be described in detail here. Two branch extraction pipelines 2 are connected below the main extraction pipeline 1, which are respectively connected to the first and second gas collecting sections. Water vapor that fails to be discharged from the pipeline is prone to condensation. In order to prevent condensation from falling and coming into contact with the product, a water collection tank 4 is provided at the bottom of the first and second gas collection sections to collect condensation.
[0031] Specifically, both the first and second gas collecting sections include a gas collecting hood 3 and an exhaust pipe 5. One end of the exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the gas collecting hood 3, and the other end is connected to a branch exhaust pipe 2 of the extraction pipe. A water collection tank 4 is installed on the gas collecting hood 3. The gas collecting hood 3 is inverted bucket-shaped and can be constructed from an inclined plane or an arc-shaped surface. The bottom of the gas collecting hood 3 has a gas collecting port, and the top is connected to the exhaust pipe 5. The size of the gas collecting port is set according to the size of the inlet and outlet. A water collection tank 4 is provided on the gas collecting port. To facilitate connection with the extraction pipe, the exhaust pipe 5 includes a vertical section and an inclined section that are connected to each other. The vertical section of the exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the top of the gas collecting hood 3, and the inclined section of the exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the branch exhaust pipe 2 of the extraction pipe. The exhaust pipes 5 of the first and second gas collecting sections are symmetrically arranged.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water collection tank 4 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the gas collection hood 3, and is arranged around the circumference of the gas collection hood 3. The bottom of the gas collection hood 3, i.e. the gas collection port, has an inward bend to form a groove, i.e., the water collection tank 4. In order to prevent condensate from sliding down the inner wall of the gas collection hood 3, the water collection tank 4 is arranged around the circumference of the gas collection port.
[0033] Specifically, in order to prevent excessive overflow of condensate in the water collection tank 4, a drain hole 6 is provided at the bottom of the water collection tank 4, and a drain valve 7 is installed on the drain hole 6 to facilitate the discharge of condensate in the water collection tank 4.
[0034] Preferably, a check valve 8 is provided on the exhaust pipe 5. By providing the check valve 8, backflow of water vapor or condensate can be prevented. For ease of installation, the check valve 8 is installed on the vertical section of the exhaust pipe 5. The check valve 8 is existing technology; its specific structure and connection method will not be described in detail here.
[0035] Specifically, for ease of installation and disassembly, the connection between the exhaust pipe 5 and the extraction pipe is made using clamps 9. By using clamps 9, the inclined section of the exhaust pipe 5 is detachably connected to the extraction pipe 2, facilitating disassembly for cleaning and maintenance.
[0036] Preferably, for ease of connection, the top of the air collection hood 3 is provided with a connecting part 10, the connecting part 10 is configured as a straight cylinder, the bottom of the connecting part 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the air collection hood 3, and the top of the connecting part 10 is detachably connected to the vertical section of the exhaust pipe 5.
[0037] In some embodiments, the top of the connecting part 10 is detachably connected to the vertical section of the exhaust pipe 5 using a clamp.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the top of the connecting part 10 is fitted inside the exhaust pipe 5. A connecting hole 11 is provided on the top of the connecting part 10, and the connecting hole 11 is detachably connected to the exhaust pipe 5 using bolts 13. Preferably, multiple connecting holes 11 are provided, spaced apart along the axial direction of the connecting part 10. Since water vapor can affect product quality, different products have different requirements for water vapor in the environment. Some products require a relatively dry environment, while others require a relatively high humidity environment. Sometimes, adjusting the exhaust fan's suction power is insufficient to meet these requirements, necessitating adjustment of the height of the gas collection hood 3. To facilitate operation of different products, the height of the gas collection hood 3 sometimes needs to be adjusted. By connecting the exhaust pipe 5 to different connecting holes 11, the height of the gas collection hood 3 can be adjusted. Simultaneously, since the top of the connecting part 10 is always fitted inside the exhaust pipe 5, the fitting of the connecting part 10 to the exhaust pipe 5 will not affect the pipe's sealing performance. Preferably, for ease of connection, fasteners 12 are provided on the connecting holes 11. Fasteners 12 are welded to the inner wall of the connecting part 10 at positions corresponding to the connecting holes 11. Bolt 13 passes through exhaust pipe 5 and connection hole 11 and is fastened to fastener 12. Preferably, fastener 12 is a nut.
