Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dumpling skin production technology, specifically to a steam softening device for steamed dumpling skins. Background Technology

[0002] Steamed dumpling wrappers are the key ingredient in making steamed dumplings. Made primarily of flour, the dough is typically prepared with warm or boiling water, kneaded, rested, and then rolled into thin, round sheets. The wrappers should be soft, elastic, and of uniform thickness—too thick, and the dumplings will be hard after steaming; too thin, and the filling will leak out. Compared to boiled dumpling wrappers, steamed dumpling wrappers don't require prolonged boiling. They use slightly more water in the dough, resulting in better elasticity, allowing them to better wrap the filling and retain moisture. After steaming, they become translucent, soft, and have a wheat aroma. This delicate texture complements the filling's flavor without overpowering it, creating a harmonious balance. This is a crucial factor in the characteristic of steamed dumplings: thin wrappers, ample filling, and tender, juicy filling.

[0003] Existing dumpling wrappers may become too hard and prone to cracking during production and storage due to moisture loss and dry environment, affecting the wrapping effect and making them difficult to pinch and hard to bite. Therefore, a steam softening device for dumpling wrappers is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, and the outer side of the bent pipe is fixed to the top of the fixing frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the dispersing component includes a cylinder, which is fixedly installed at the top of the inside of the bracket.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a steam softening device for dumpling wrappers, including a mounting frame 1, a conveyor 101 mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 1, a bracket 102 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 1, a heating component 2 provided on the outer top of the bracket 102, a water conveying component 3 provided from the top to the side of the heating component 2, a steam transmission component 4 provided on the side of the heating component 2, and a dispersing component 5 provided on the inner top of the bracket 102. After placing the dumpling wrappers onto the conveyor 101, the conveyor 101 is started to soften the dumpling wrappers. Water is conveyed into the support 102 and heated by the heating component 2 to generate steam. After rising, the steam is transferred to the dispersing component 5 by the transmission component 4. The dispersing component 5 evenly disperses the steam on the top of each dumpling wrapper, thereby softening the dumpling wrapper with steam. Therefore, by adding the step of softening the dumpling wrapper with steam during the production and storage of dumpling wrappers, the dumpling wrappers can be prevented from becoming too hard and cracking, thus avoiding affecting the wrapping effect of the dumpling wrappers and preventing the dumpling wrappers from becoming difficult to pinch and having a hard bite.

[0021] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the heating assembly 2 includes a water tank 201 with a vent at its top. The water tank 201 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 102. A heater 203 (model SRY5-380V4KW) is installed from the top of the water tank 201 to its interior. A transparent window 202 is fixedly connected to the side of the water tank 201 for observing the water usage inside. The water supply assembly 3 includes a level sensor 301 (model MRLF100). The level sensor 301 is fixedly mounted on the top of the water tank 201, and its bottom extends to the bottom of the interior of the water tank 201. A controller 302 (model GRL8 10A) is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 201. AC / DC 24V-240V liquid level control relay), the water tank 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the output device 303, the output device 303 refers to the water supply system, the liquid level sensor 301, the controller 302 and the output device 303 are electrically connected. In practice, the heater 203 heats the water inside the water tank 201, and the heated water vapor rises, which is convenient for the transmission component 4 to draw the water vapor into the dispersion component 5. When the liquid level in the water tank 201 drops to the point where water needs to be added, the liquid level sensor 301 can send a signal to the controller 302. The controller 302 controls the output device 303 to deliver new water into the water tank 201, and then the heater 203 continues to heat it to continue to soften the dumpling skin with steam.

[0022] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission component 4 includes a bent pipe 401, which is fixedly connected to the side of the water tank 201. A cross 402 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bent pipe 401. An exhaust fan 403 (model ABB W21 series) is provided on the side of the cross 402. A corrugated pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bent pipe 401. The corrugated pipe 404 is inserted into the inside of the bracket 102. A fixing frame 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 102. The outer side of the bent pipe 401 is fixed to the top of the fixing frame 103. In practice, the rising water vapor is drawn into the bent pipe 401 by starting the exhaust fan 403. Then, it enters the dispersion component 5 along the corrugated pipe 404. The dispersion component 5 evenly disperses the water vapor on the surface of the dumpling skin, so that the dumpling skin can be softened by the hot steam.

[0023] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the dispersing component 5 includes a cylinder 501, which is fixedly installed at the top of the inside of the bracket 102. The telescopic end of the cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to a storage box 502. The inside of the storage box 502 is a cavity. Several air outlets 503 are opened at the bottom of the storage box 502. A dispersing pipe 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 502 near each air outlet 503. The bottom end of the corrugated pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage box 502. In practice, the rising water vapor is drawn into the bent pipe 401 by starting the exhaust fan 403, and then enters the storage box 502 along the corrugated pipe 404. The steam is then evenly dispersed on the surface of the dumpling skin from each air outlet 503 through the dispersing pipe 504, so that the dumpling skin can be softened by the hot steam. By starting the cylinder 501, the storage box 502 is moved up and down to adjust the height aligned with the dumpling skin, which is convenient for steam softening dumpling skins of different thicknesses.

[0024] Working principle: After placing the dumpling wrappers onto the conveyor 101, the conveyor 101 is started to transport the dumpling wrappers towards the inside of the support 102. At this time, the heater 203 heats the water inside the water tank 201, and the heated water vapor rises. The exhaust fan 403 draws the rising water vapor into the curved pipe 401, and then into the storage box 502 through the corrugated pipe 404. The steam is then evenly distributed on the surface of the dumpling wrappers from each air outlet 503 through the dispersion pipe 504, so that the dumpling wrappers can be softened by the hot steam. The cylinder 501 is started to move the storage box 502 up and down to adjust and align it with the dumpling wrappers. The height of the dough facilitates the steam softening of dumpling wrappers of different thicknesses. When the liquid level in the water tank 201 drops to the point where water needs to be added, the liquid level sensor 301 sends a signal to the controller 302. The controller 302 controls the output device 303 to deliver new water into the water tank 201. Then, the heater 203 continues to heat the dough to continue steam softening. Therefore, by adding a steam softening step during the production and storage of dumpling wrappers, the dumpling wrappers can be prevented from becoming too hard and cracking, thus avoiding affecting the wrapping effect and preventing the dumpling wrappers from becoming difficult to pinch and having a hard bite.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
