[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a steam blanching treatment box for white chili peppers, including a box body 1. The box body 1 serves as the foundation of the overall structure, providing a closed space for the blanching operation. A door 6 is hinged to one side of the box body 1, and the door 6 is a transparent door. The transparent door 6 allows the operator to observe the blanching status of the white chili peppers inside the box body 1 in real time without frequently opening the box and interfering with the blanching process. An air inlet pipe 7 is connected to one side of the box body 1 to introduce steam. A perforated plate 10, which works in conjunction with the air inlet pipe 7, is fixedly installed inside the box body 1. The perforated plate 10 can... The steam input through the air inlet pipe 7 is evenly dispersed, allowing the steam to diffuse evenly within the chamber 1, ensuring that the white peppers are heated evenly during the blanching process and improving the blanching quality. The upper surface of the chamber 1 is connected to an exhaust pipe 5, which is used to discharge excess steam and volatile gases from the chamber 1, maintain the air pressure balance inside the chamber, and prevent excessive pressure from causing safety hazards. The top of the exhaust pipe 5 is movably fitted with a sealing plug 4, which can close the exhaust pipe 5 when venting is not required, ensuring the airtightness of the chamber 1, preventing heat loss and steam leakage, and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0021] The box body 1 is slidably connected to a support frame 9. The upper surface of the box body 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism 2 that works with the support frame 9. The lifting mechanism 2 can flexibly adjust the height of the support frame 9, thereby changing the distance between the white peppers in the basket 8 and the steam outlet, adapting to the blanching requirements of different varieties and loading amounts of white peppers, and improving the versatility of the steam blanching treatment box. The support frame 9 is movably connected to the basket 8, which is used to support the basket 8 and hold the white peppers that need to be blanched. The upper surface and the interior of the box body 1 are jointly provided with a stirring mechanism 3 that works with the basket 8. The stirring mechanism 3 improves the uniformity of blanching in the steam blanching treatment box.

[0022] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a guide frame 24, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the housing 1. A servo motor 23 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the guide frame 24. The output end of the servo motor 23 passes through the guide frame 24 and is fixedly connected to a lead screw 25. The servo motor 23 drives the lead screw 25 to rotate. A movable frame 22 is threaded on the outer surface of the lead screw 25. The bottom end of the lead screw 25 is rotatably connected to the guide frame 24 to ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the lead screw 25. The two sides of the movable frame 22 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 24. The guide frame 24 provides stable guidance for the movable frame 22 to ensure a smooth lifting process.

[0023] The upper surface of the housing 1 is symmetrically fixed with first sealing rings 21 for use with the movable frame 22. The movable frame 22 is slidably connected to the first sealing rings 21. The first sealing rings 21 ensure the sealing of the connection between the movable frame 22 and the housing 1, preventing steam from leaking from the gaps. This ensures the safety of the operator and avoids heat loss. The bottom end of the movable frame 22 penetrates the upper surface of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the support frame 9. This allows the movable frame 22 to move up and down along the guide frame 24, enabling precise adjustment of the height of the support frame 9 to improve the versatility of the processing box.

[0024] The stirring mechanism 3 includes a housing 33, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the box 1. A cylinder 32 is fixedly installed parallel to the inner wall of the housing 33. The cylinder 32 can adjust the height and position of the round rod 37 and the stirring component 31 so that they can penetrate into different positions inside the basket 8. The output end of the cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 35. A DC motor 34 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting base 35. The output end of the DC motor 34 is fixedly connected to the round rod 37, and the bottom end of the round rod 37 penetrates through the upper surface of the box 1. A second sealing ring 36 that works with the round rod 37 is fixedly connected parallel to the upper surface of the box 1. The round rod 37 and the second sealing ring 36 are in contact through the ring, and the second sealing ring 36 ensures the sealing of the point where the round rod 37 penetrates, preventing steam leakage.

[0025] The outer surface of the round rod 37 is fixedly sleeved with a stirring element 31. The DC motor 34 drives the round rod 37 and the stirring element 31 to rotate, slowly stirring the white peppers to prevent them from accumulating in the mesh basket 8, so that the steam can penetrate the material more evenly and significantly improve the uniformity of the steam blanching treatment box.

[0026] Working principle: First, the operator opens the transparent door 6 hinged to one side of the box body 1, places the white peppers in the movable mesh basket 8 inside the support frame 9, and then closes the door 6 to ensure that the box body 1 is sealed, creating a closed environment for subsequent blanching. At the same time, the transparent door 6 allows the operator to observe the situation inside the box in real time.

[0027] Depending on the variety and loading amount of the white chili peppers, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the white chili peppers and the steam outlet, the servo motor 23 in the lifting mechanism 2 is activated. The output end of the servo motor 23 drives the lead screw 25 to rotate. The movable frame 22, which is threaded on the outer surface of the lead screw 25, slides up and down along the inner wall of the guide frame 24 when the lead screw 25 rotates.

[0028] Since the bottom of the movable frame 22 is fixedly connected to the support frame 9, it drives the support frame 9 and the net basket 8 inside it to move up and down, precisely adjusting the distance between the white chili pepper and the steam outlet.

[0029] Meanwhile, the first sealing ring 21, which is symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the housing 1, slides in contact with the movable frame 22 to ensure the sealing of the passage of the movable frame 22 and prevent steam leakage.

[0030] Next, steam is introduced into the chamber 1 through the air inlet pipe 7. After entering the chamber 1, the steam is dispersed by the perforated plate 10 fixedly installed inside the chamber 1. The perforated plate 10 evenly diffuses the concentrated steam into various areas of the chamber 1, ensuring that the white peppers in the chamber can be heated evenly, laying the foundation for achieving uniform blanching.

[0031] During the blanching process, in order to avoid the white peppers piling up in the basket 8 and causing uneven blanching, the cylinder 32 in the stirring mechanism 3 is activated to first adjust the position of the mounting base 35 so that the DC motor 34 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting base 35 and the round rod 37 and stirring component 31 connected to its output end are at a suitable height and position.

[0032] Then, the DC motor 34 is started, which drives the round rod 37 and the stirring piece 31 to rotate, slowly stirring the white peppers and dispersing them in the mesh basket 8, ensuring that the steam can penetrate the material evenly and achieve uniform blanching of the white peppers.

[0033] Meanwhile, the second sealing ring 36 installed on the upper surface of the housing 1 is in contact with the round rod 37 through the ring, ensuring the sealing of the through point of the round rod 37 and preventing steam from leaking from that position.

[0034] During the blanching process, steam continuously accumulates inside chamber 1. When the pressure is too high, the operator can open the sealing plug 4 that is movable at the top of the exhaust pipe 5 to release excess steam, maintain the air pressure balance inside chamber 1, and avoid excessive pressure causing safety hazards or affecting the blanching effect.

[0035] Meanwhile, by controlling the amount of steam input and exhaust, the temperature inside chamber 1 can be adjusted to ensure that the blanching process is carried out at a suitable temperature.

[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
