Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato cake processing, and in particular to a device for steaming potato cakes. Background Technology

[0002] A steamer is a device that uses electricity to heat water, converts the water into steam, and then steams the shaped potato cakes to cook them.

[0003] When steaming potato cakes using a steamer, the cakes are typically arranged in steaming trays and then placed inside the steamer. Water is added to the heating chamber at the bottom of the steamer's inner wall, and the internal heating components, such as heating tubes or electric heating wire mesh, are activated to heat the water and convert it into steam. The heating components are not fixed. The steam cooks the potato cakes in the steaming trays. Because the steam rises vertically from the bottom, the trays closer to the steam source receive concentrated heat, while those further away suffer from steam loss and uneven heat distribution, resulting in inconsistent cooking of the potato cakes. This can lead to overcooked cakes in the bottom trays and undercooked cakes in the top trays, severely affecting the quality of the cakes. Repeated adjustments to the steaming time are often necessary, resulting in low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that, because the steam in the steamer rises vertically from the bottom, the steaming boxes near the steam source are heated in a concentrated manner, while the steaming boxes far from the steam source suffer from steam loss and uneven heat distribution, resulting in inconsistent cooking of the potato cakes. This can lead to the potato cakes in the bottom steaming boxes being overcooked due to high temperature, while the potato cakes in the top steaming boxes are undercooked, seriously affecting the quality of the potato cakes. Usually, the steaming time needs to be adjusted repeatedly, resulting in low processing efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a device for steaming potato cakes, including a steamer. The steamer is equipped with a uniform distribution device. The uniform distribution device can collect the generated steam by covering it with a rectangular cover, and then control it to be evenly distributed into several guide pipes by a control mechanism, and finally into several steaming boxes to steam the potato cakes in each steaming box. This can achieve the effect of uniform steam temperature in each steaming box.

[0006] Preferably, the uniform flow distribution device includes a rectangular cover, one side of which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the heating chamber of the inner wall of the steamer; several T-shaped frames, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the steamer, with a rubber plate fixedly installed on one side of each T-shaped frame; several guide pipes, one end of which is installed through one side of the rectangular cover, and the other end is installed through both sides of the T-shaped frames and one side of the rubber plate, respectively; the guide pipes are corrugated pipes and can be stretched to a certain length according to the height of the T-shaped frames; several steaming boxes, which are inserted between two opposing T-shaped frames and abut against one side of the rubber plate on both sides; the inner walls of the steaming boxes are provided with round holes on both sides, the positions of the round holes on each steaming box are different, and a perforated plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each steaming box; and a control mechanism, which is set in the inner wall of the end of the guide pipe inserted into the rectangular cover and is used to control and seal the inlet of the guide pipe.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Figure 1-6 The apparatus shown includes a steamer 1, which has a uniform distribution device 2 inside. The uniform distribution device 2 can collect the generated steam by covering it with a rectangular cover 21, and then control the control mechanism 24 to evenly distribute it into several guide pipes 22, and finally into several steam boxes 25 to steam the potato cakes inside each steam box 25. This can achieve the effect of uniform steam temperature inside each steam box 25.

[0033] Figure 1-5The uniform flow distribution device 2 shown includes a rectangular cover 21, one side of which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the heating chamber of the inner wall of the steamer 1; several T-shaped frames 23, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the steamer 1, with a rubber plate 28 fixedly installed on one side of each T-shaped frame 23; and several guide pipes 22, one end of which is installed through one side of the rectangular cover 21, and the other end is installed through both sides of the T-shaped frames 23 and one side of the rubber plate 28, respectively. The guide pipes 22 are corrugated. The tube can be stretched to a certain length along the height of the through T-shaped frame 23; several steam boxes 25, wherein the steam boxes 25 are inserted between two opposite T-shaped frames 23 and abut against one side of the rubber plate 28 on both sides, and the inner walls of the steam boxes 25 are provided with round holes 26 on both sides, wherein the position of the round holes 26 on each steam box 25 is different, and a perforated plate 27 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the steam box 25; a control mechanism 24, wherein the control mechanism 24 is set in the inner wall of one end of the guide tube 22 inserted into the rectangular cover 21, and is used to control and seal the inlet of the guide tube 22. When steaming potato cakes using a steamer 1, the cakes are typically arranged on the perforated plate 27 in the steaming box 25. They are then inserted into the two corresponding T-shaped frames 23 according to the positions of the round holes 26 on one side. When the steaming box 25 is inserted into the two T-shaped frames 23, both sides abut against one side of the rubber plate 28, aligning the round hole 26 on one side with the outlet end of the through-flow pipe 22. The rubber plate 28 seals the gap between them. At this point, the heating element inside the steamer 1, such as a heating element or electric heating, can be activated. The wire mesh heats the water, turning it into steam. The heating element is not fixed. The generated steam accumulates in the rectangular cover 21. When a certain pressure is reached, the control mechanism 24 is opened, and the steam is evenly distributed into several guide pipes 22. Then, the steam enters several steaming boxes 25 through the guide pipes 22 to steam the potato cakes placed on the perforated plates 27 inside. By distributing the steam in this way, the steam temperature entering each steaming box 25 can be made uniform, avoiding uneven heat distribution and improving the quality and efficiency of the potato cake steaming process.

[0034] Figure 1-5The control mechanism 24 shown includes a ring frame 241, the outer surface of which is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the guide pipe 22; and a spring 242, one end of which is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the ring frame 241, and the other end of which is fixedly installed with a piston ball 243, the outer surface of which abuts against one side of the ring frame 241. By setting up the control mechanism 24, after the protective cover collects the steam converted from water inside, when the steam inside the protective cover reaches a certain value, it will push the piston ball 243 to slide to one end, causing the spring 242 to stretch, so that the steam passes through the inner wall of the ring frame 241 and enters the guide pipe 22 for diversion and discharge, achieving a uniform diversion effect. The control mechanism 24 also includes a telescopic rod 244, the outer surface of which is installed through the interior of the spring 242, and both ends are fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the ring frame 241 and the outer surface of the piston ball 243, respectively. By setting the telescopic rod 244, the inner wall of the spring 242 can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to damage during use and extending its service life. A limiting rod 29 is rotatably installed on one side of the T-shaped frame 23, with one side of the limiting rod 29 abutting against one side of the steaming box 25. When the steaming box 25 is inserted between two opposing T-shaped frames 23, the limiting rod 29 can be rotated to a certain angle so that one side abuts against one side of the steaming box 25, thus limiting and fixing it.

[0035] Figure 1-5 The inner wall of the steaming box 25 shown is provided with several dividing devices 3, each including a partition 32. Several slots 31 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the steaming box 25. The two ends of the partition 32 are respectively inserted into two opposite slots 31, with one side abutting against one side of the perforated plate 27. By providing the partitions 32, several rectangular strips of potato cakes placed on the perforated plate 27 can be separated, preventing the potato cakes from sticking together during steaming or handling of the steaming box 25, thus avoiding affecting subsequent processing.

[0036] Figure 1-5 The card slot 31 shown has chamfers 33 on both sides of its entrance. By setting the chamfers 33, the area at the entrance of the card slot 31 can be increased, making it easier for the partition 32 to be quickly aligned and inserted, thus facilitating installation. Several anti-slip blocks 34 are fixedly installed on both sides of the partition 32, arranged at equal intervals. By setting the anti-slip blocks 34, the contact friction on one side of the partition 32 can be increased, making it more secure when manually lifted.

[0037] Working principle: When steaming potato cakes using the steamer 1, the potato cakes are typically arranged on the perforated plate 27 in the steaming box 25. Then, the partition 32 is inserted into the corresponding slot 31 to separate the rectangular strips of potato cakes placed on the perforated plate 27. Next, according to the position of the round hole 26 on one side, the cakes are inserted into the two corresponding T-shaped frames 23. When the steaming box 25 is inserted into the two T-shaped frames 23, both sides abut against one side of the rubber plate 28, aligning the round hole 26 on one side with the outlet end of the through-through guide pipe 22. The rubber plate 28 seals the gap between them. At this point, the heating element inside the steamer 1 can be activated. Heating elements or electric heating wires heat water to convert it into steam. The heating element is not fixed. The generated steam accumulates in the rectangular cover 21. When the steam in the cover reaches a certain value, it pushes the piston ball 243 to slide to one end, causing the spring 242 to stretch. This causes the steam to be evenly distributed through the inner wall of the ring frame 241 into several guide pipes 22, and then enters several steaming boxes 25 through the guide pipes 22 to steam the potato cakes placed on the hollow plates 27 inside. By distributing the steam in this way, the steam temperature entering each steaming box 25 can be made uniform, avoiding uneven heat distribution and improving the quality and efficiency of the potato cake steaming process.
