[0048] Boiling equipment plays a vital role in food processing, affecting not only the quality and safety of food, but also production efficiency and the company's operating costs.

[0049] Boiling equipment is widely used in food processing. Its overall structure is relatively complex, typically consisting of multiple systems such as a water tank, heating system, conveying system, and control system. Therefore, in actual production, boiling equipment requires operators to make numerous adjustments, such as manually controlling switches, adjusting temperature and time, manually adding materials, or adjusting the equipment. This may result in slow production speeds and make it unsuitable for large-scale production.

[0050] Furthermore, in food processing companies, production schedules are typically very tight, and the cleaning and maintenance of boiling machines must be completed within limited downtime. This puts even less efficient manual cleaning under time pressure. Additionally, due to differences in operator experience and skill levels, cleaning effectiveness may vary, making it difficult to fully implement cleaning and maintenance.

[0051] Based on this, this application discloses a self-cleaning water boiling device. Compared with related water boiling devices, this device adds a cleaning mechanism that automatically cleans the internal structure of the device, including a liquid storage tank, a spray assembly, and a slag scraping structure. These components are electrically connected to the control unit, allowing the operator to automatically clean the internal structure of the device via control buttons. This avoids the inefficiencies, incomplete cleaning, and inability to measure cleaning standards that result from manual cleaning, saving a significant amount of time for cleaning the internal structure of the water boiling device.

[0052] The technical solution of this application will be further explained below with reference to examples and accompanying drawings.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the boiling device 1 disclosed in this application. This application provides a boiling device 1 with a self-cleaning function, which can be applied in food production and processing, specifically providing a boiling function for noodle products.

[0054] Specifically, the self-cleaning boiling equipment 1 includes: a body 11 and a cleaning device 12. The body 11 has a boiling tank 111, which is used for boiling noodle products. The boiling tank 111 is provided with a drain outlet 1111, which is used to drain the residue and cleaning liquid in the boiling tank 111.

[0055] The cleaning device 12 is located inside the body 11 and includes: a liquid storage tank 121, a spray assembly 122, a slag scraping structure 123, and a control unit 124. The liquid storage tank 121 is configured to store cleaning liquid. The spray assembly 122 is connected to the liquid storage tank 121 and is configured to spray cleaning liquid into the boiling tank 111. The slag scraping structure 123 is configured to scrape away residue from the boiling tank 111. The control unit 124 is electrically connected to the slag scraping structure 123 and the spray assembly 122, and is configured to start the slag scraping structure 123 and the spray assembly 122 when the boiling equipment 1 is stopped.

[0056] Understandably, the boiling tank 111 can hold clean water, or, depending on the specific type of noodle product and processing method, liquids such as salt water or alkaline water. During the boiling process of the noodle products, the noodle products can move from one end of the boiling tank 111 to the other, thereby completing the boiling process of the noodle products.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the cleaning device 12 of the boiling water equipment 1 disclosed in this application. A storage tank 121 is provided outside the boiling water tank 111 to store water or cleaning solution. The water or cleaning solution can be prepared in advance and filled into the storage tank 121. Thus, when automatic cleaning of the inside of the boiling water tank 111 is required, water or cleaning solution can be directly taken from the storage tank 121 and sprayed onto the inside of the boiling water tank 111 via the spray assembly 122, completing the cleaning work inside the boiling water tank 111. The spray assembly 122 can be installed above the boiling water tank 111 and connected to the storage tank 121 via a pipeline.

[0058] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 122 can be disposed above the boiling tank 111, and there can be multiple spray assemblies 122, which can be spaced apart along the length of the boiling tank 111. By distributing multiple spray assemblies, different parts of the boiling tank can be cleaned, thereby improving not only the cleaning effect but also the cleaning efficiency.

[0059] Optionally, the spray assembly can be positioned directly above the opening of the boiling tank, or the spray assembly 122 can be positioned on the side of the boiling tank 111. The specific configuration can be determined according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0060] In some examples, the spray assembly can be fixed, or the spray assembly 122 can be mounted on a movable pipe or support and move with the support. Thus, the spray assembly 122 can achieve a larger spray area, improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device 12 inside the boiling tank 111, and enabling targeted cleaning of hard-to-clean crevices and corners inside the boiling tank 111, resulting in better cleaning performance.

[0061] In other examples, the spray assembly 122 can also be configured to be rotatable. By providing a drive motor, the spray assembly 122 can be rotated to spray cleaning fluid or water into the boiling tank 111 at different angles. The rotating spray assembly 122 allows a single spray assembly 122 to achieve a larger spray range, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0062] In some examples, multiple spray units 122 can be provided. Some spray units can be fixed, while others can be rotary. For example, the rotary spray unit 122 is responsible for cleaning large areas, while the fixed spray unit 122 can be set to a specific direction, such as facing a side wall of the water tank or the bottom wall of the water tank. This allows for targeted cleaning of a specific area of ​​the water tank, which helps to improve the overall cleaning effect.

[0063] In some embodiments, the slag scraping structure 123 is disposed below the boiling tank 111. The slag scraping structure 123 can scrape off the residue deposited below the tank, allowing the residue to be scraped to the drain outlet 1111, and then discharged through the drain outlet or collected in a centralized manner. This avoids the residue from accumulating below the boiling tank 111 for a long time, causing clumping and deterioration, reducing the impact of residue on the production quality of the products, and also reducing the difficulty of cleaning the boiling tank 111.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 Figure 2 A partial enlarged view at point A. The slag scraping structure 123 includes: a first driving member 1231, a first transmission member 1232, and a slag scraper 1233. The first driving member is disposed in the boiling tank 111, and the first transmission member is connected to the first driving member to move under the drive of the driving member. The slag scraper is connected to the first transmission member, so that the slag scraper 1233 is configured to move relative to the boiling tank 111 under the drive of the first transmission member to scrape off the residue in the boiling tank 111.

[0065] For example, the scraping structure 123 can be configured as a chain scraper structure, that is, the first driving component can be a motor, and the first transmission component can be a chain. By driving the chain with the motor, the chain drives the upper scraper 1233 to move inside the boiling tank 111, thereby removing the residue at the bottom of the boiling tank 111.

[0066] Optionally, the scraper plate 1233 can be a polygonal plate, such as a rectangular or triangular plate. Of course, the scraper plate can also be an irregularly shaped plate, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0067] In some embodiments, the bottom of the boiling tank 111 is provided with a guide slope 111a, which extends to the drain port 1111. The guide slope 111a is configured to guide residue and / or cleaning liquid to the drain port 1111. With the guide slope 111a, when the drain port 1111 is open, the liquid inside the boiling tank 111 flows towards the drain port 1111 along with the guide slope 111a, thereby draining the liquid inside the boiling tank 111. This also facilitates the guidance of any remaining liquid inside the boiling tank 111 to the drain port 1111, thus helping to guide the cleaning liquid and residue to the drain port and improving the emptying effect of the boiling tank 111.

[0068] It is understood that the boiling tank 111 also includes a control unit 124, which is electrically connected to the cleaning device to achieve automatic control of the cleaning device 12. This control unit can be a central control box, or it can be a control switch.

[0069] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the replenishment tank 13 disclosed in this application. In some embodiments, the boiling water device 1 also has an automatic water replenishment function. Specifically, a liquid level sensor 131 is installed in the boiling water tank 111, which is electrically connected to the control unit 124. The liquid level sensor 131 is used to detect the liquid level in the boiling water tank 111. The boiling water device 1 also includes a replenishment tank 13, which is located on one side of the body 11. The replenishment tank 13 is connected to the boiling water tank 111 by a pipe, and a solenoid valve 132 is installed on the pipe. The control unit 124 is also used to control the replenishment tank 13 to replenish liquid in the boiling water tank 111 when the liquid level sensor 131 detects that the liquid level in the boiling water tank 111 is lower than a preset liquid level. By setting up the liquid level sensor, the liquid level in the boiling water tank can be detected in real time. With the replenishment tank, the liquid level in the boiling water tank can be replenished in a timely manner according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level sensor, thus eliminating the need for manual replenishment and achieving a higher degree of automation.

[0070] It is understandable that the preset liquid level can be, for example, the minimum liquid level set in the boiling tank. As long as the liquid level in the boiling tank is lower than the minimum liquid level, the liquid level sensor can send a signal, and the control unit can control the solenoid valve to open according to the signal sent by the liquid level sensor, so that the liquid in the replenishment tank can enter the boiling tank through the pipe.

[0071] It is understood that, as another embodiment, a liquid level sensor may not be provided, but a pressure sensor may be used instead. The pressure sensor can detect the pressure in the boiling tank in real time, and once the pressure value is lower than the set value, the replenishment tank 13 can be controlled to replenish liquid into the boiling tank 111.

[0072] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the filter tank 14 disclosed in this application. In some embodiments, the boiling water device 1 also has an automatic water circulation function. Specifically, the boiling water device 1 further includes a filter tank 14, which is located on one side of the body 11. The filter tank 14 has an inlet 141 and a return outlet 142, both of which are connected to the boiling tank 111 by pipes. A filter 143 is provided in the filter tank 14. The filter 143 is used to filter the liquid entering the filter tank 14, so that the filtered liquid flows back to the boiling tank 111 through the return outlet 142. With the setting of this filter tank, the excess water in the boiling tank can be filtered and stored by the filter in the filter tank, so that the filtered water can flow back to the boiling tank, realizing the recycling of water in the boiling tank, thereby saving water resources.

[0073] Optionally, the filter tank can be located near the end of the boiling tank, that is, at the end of the boiling tank where the noodle products have finished boiling. In this way, when the water in the filter tank is filtered and flows back into the boiling tank, it flows back from the end of the boiling tank, which can reduce the impact on the boiling temperature of the noodle products at the front of the boiling tank.

[0074] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the heat exchanger 15 disclosed in this application. In some embodiments, the boiling water device 1 is also equipped with an automatic heat exchange device. Specifically, a temperature sensor 151 is provided in the boiling water tank 111, and the temperature sensor 151 is electrically connected to the control unit 124. The temperature sensor 151 is used to detect the temperature of the liquid inside the boiling water tank 111. The boiling water device 1 also includes a heat exchanger 15, which is electrically connected to the control unit 124. One end of the heat exchanger 15 is connected to the boiling water tank 111, and the other end of the heat exchanger 15 is used to connect to a gas supply source 152. The control unit 124 is also used to control the heat exchanger 15 to introduce steam into the boiling water tank 111 when the temperature sensor 151 detects that the liquid temperature in the boiling water tank 111 is lower than a preset temperature.

[0075] The heating method using steam heat exchange can precisely control the water temperature by adjusting the steam pressure and flow rate, and can maintain a stable temperature. The steam heat exchange system has a relatively simple structure, and daily maintenance mainly involves cleaning and inspecting the steam pipes and heat exchanger 15. The maintenance cost is low and the maintenance efficiency is high.

[0076] It is understandable that when the above-mentioned water replenishment tank and filter water tank introduce liquid into the boiling tank, they can be heated by a steam heat exchange device to avoid the temperature difference between the incoming liquid and the liquid inside the boiling tank 111 being too large, which would cause the water temperature inside the boiling tank 111 to be unstable and affect the quality of the noodle products.

[0077] Of course, as another embodiment, instead of using steam heating, the liquid inside the water boiling tank 111 can be heated by, for example, an electric heater.

[0078] In some embodiments, the boiling water device 1 further includes a steam exhaust structure 16, which is disposed on one side of the body 11 and connected to the boiling water tank 111 via a pipe for discharging the steam generated in the boiling water tank 111.

[0079] Discharging steam through pipes prevents steam buildup inside the boiling tank 111, which could lead to pressure exceeding normal levels and pose a safety risk. Furthermore, timely steam discharge reduces the risk of condensate entering the boiling tank 111 and causing uneven temperature distribution, thus minimizing the impact of steam on product quality.

[0080] Alternatively, the exhaust structure can be, for example, an exhaust fan.

[0081] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat preservation cover 17 disclosed in this application. In some embodiments, the boiling water device 1 also includes a heat preservation cover 17, which is connected to the body 11 to cover the boiling water tank 111. The heat preservation cover 17 is provided with a plurality of observation windows 171, which are spaced apart along the length of the boiling water tank 111.

[0082] The heat insulation cover 17 creates an independent space inside the boiling equipment 1, which can reduce the influence of external air on the boiling equipment 1, thereby reducing the water temperature fluctuation inside the boiling tank 111 and ensuring product quality.

[0083] In addition, the observation window 171 set on the heat preservation cover 17 provides the operator with a channel to observe the inside of the boiling tank 111. The operator can monitor the product through the observation window 171, so as to respond to the adverse conditions inside the boiling equipment 1 in a timely manner.

[0084] Optionally, the insulation cover 17 can be a multi-layered structure. For example, the insulation cover may include an inner layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer arranged sequentially. The inner layer is the layer directly facing the inside of the boiling water tank when the insulation cover is placed over it, and the outer layer is the layer facing the outside of the boiling water tank. The inner layer can be made of heat-reflecting materials such as filters, the middle layer can be made of heat-insulating materials such as polyurethane foam, and the outer layer can be made of materials such as fiberglass or stainless steel.

[0085] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the lifting structure 18 disclosed in this application. In some embodiments, the boiling equipment 1 may further include a lifting structure 18, which can be used to drive the cleaning device, the heat preservation cover, etc., to rise and fall relative to the boiling tank, so as to facilitate manual cleaning of the inside of the cleaning tank. The lifting structure includes a second driving member 181 and a lifting rod 182. The second driving member 181 is connected to the body 11, and the lifting rod 182 is connected to the second driving member 181. The lifting rod 182 is connected to the cleaning device and the heat preservation cover 17, and is used to drive the cleaning device and the heat preservation cover 17 to rise and fall relative to the boiling tank 111 under the drive of the second driving member 181.

[0086] The lifting rod 182 can raise the structure in the boiling tank 111 a certain distance when the boiling equipment 1 is stopped, making it easier for operators to clean the inner surface of the boiling tank 111, saving cleaning time, and ensuring that the hygiene level in the boiling tank 111 meets the requirements.

[0087] Optionally, the second driving component can be a motor or a hydraulic cylinder. For example, the lifting mechanism can be driven by a motor to raise the lifting rod 182 to lift the relevant equipment so that the operator can clean the inside of the boiling tank 111. Alternatively, the lifting mechanism can also use a hydraulic cylinder to drive the lifting rod 182 to achieve the lifting action of the relevant equipment.

[0088] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a water boiling device equipped with a feeding structure 19 and a transmission structure 20.

[0089] In some embodiments, the boiling device 1 may also be provided with a feeding structure 19, which feeds the product into the boiling tank 111. The feeding structure 19 can feed the noodle products into the boiling tank 111 at certain time intervals, which can make more efficient use of the heat in the boiling tank 111 and avoid the problem of low production efficiency caused by excessively long feeding intervals due to human factors.

[0090] It is understandable that the feeding structure 19 can be a structure that combines a conveyor belt and an electric push rod. The conveyor belt will transport the dough products that have completed the previous process to one end of the boiling equipment 1, and then the electric push rod will push the dough products into the boiling tank 111 to complete the automatic feeding of the dough products without manual operation, thus saving the cost of manual feeding.

[0091] Optionally, a transmission structure 20 can be provided in the boiling tank to drive the product to move within the boiling tank 111. At the same time, a turning component can be provided in the middle of the transmission structure 20 to turn the noodle product over during boiling, so that the noodle product is heated evenly during boiling, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0092] Alternatively, the transmission structure 20 can also be, for example, a conveyor belt.

[0093] The following is a brief description of the cleaning process using the water boiling device 1 of this application:

[0094] When the boiling equipment 1 is stopped, the cleaning device 12 can be started by the button on the control unit 124. At this time, the water or cleaning liquid in the storage tank 121 will be sprayed from the inside of the boiling equipment 1 to the inside of the boiling tank 111 through the spray assembly 122. At the same time, the slag scraping structure 123 starts to work at the bottom of the boiling tank 111. The slag scraping plate 1233 pushes the residue below the boiling tank 111 toward the drain port 1111 under the drive of the first transmission component 1232.

[0095] It is understood that the slag scraping action of the slag scraping structure 123 and the spraying action of the spraying component 122 can be performed simultaneously or in stages. For example, spraying can be performed first and then scraping, or scraping can be performed first and then spraying. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
