Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steaming equipment, and in particular to a special steaming equipment for corn. Background Technology
[0002] Cooked corn is usually processed by boiling or steaming. Boiling will cause some nutrients to be lost from the corn. However, when steaming is done in large quantities, the corn is piled together, which can prevent the steam from effectively contacting the corn, resulting in uneven steaming. In addition, the corn is piled together and can be squeezed, which can affect the appearance of the corn. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a special steaming equipment for corn, which can separate corn kernels from each other to prevent them from sticking together, and can make hot steam evenly contact the surface of the corn, thereby improving the efficiency of corn steaming and avoiding the problem of poor appearance caused by compression.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a special steaming equipment for corn, including a steam generator and a steamer;
[0005] The steam generator is connected to the steam pot via a pipe.
[0006] The steamer has several vertically distributed support rods inside, and the upper end of the support rods is set as a pointed structure.
[0007] Each of the support rods is fitted with a guide cylinder, which is used for the corn to slide inside. Each of the guide cylinders is relatively fixed and can be detachably fitted with the steamer.
[0008] When using the steamer, first place the guide tube into the steamer along with the corresponding support rods, ensuring the support rods are in the center of the guide tube. Then, slide the corn into the guide tube and push it in with appropriate force so that the support rods insert into the corn cobs, supporting the corn. Then, remove the guide tube. At this point, the corn is completely supported by the support rods and will not touch each other. Start the steam generator, and the generated steam will enter the steamer through the pipes. Because the corn cobs do not touch each other, the steam can fully contact the outer surface of each corn cob, allowing for quick and even steaming. This results in higher steaming efficiency, more uniform cooking, no corn compression, and a better-looking finished product.
[0009] Preferably, the support rod comprises a lower section and an upper section, wherein the diameter of the lower section is larger than that of the upper section. The upper section is inserted into the corn cob, and the lower section is used to support the corn, preventing the support rod from being completely inserted into the corn cob and causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the steamer and submerge the corn.
[0010] Preferably, the system includes a discharge plate with through holes corresponding to each of the support rods. The discharge plate is used to push the corn off the support rods when lifted upwards, and a handle is provided on the upward-facing discharge plate. After the corn is steamed, when it is necessary to remove the corn, the discharge plate can be lifted upwards, which will push the corn apart from the support rods, thereby quickly removing all the corn and increasing efficiency.
[0011] Preferably, a side plate is provided on the outer edge of the unloading plate to prevent corn from slipping off the unloading plate.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the steamer is provided with an inner platform, and the upper edge of the side plate is rolled outward to fit the inner platform. The unloading plate can be supported by the inner platform.
[0013] Preferably, the guide cylinder is fixed relative to the partition plate, and the outer edge of the partition plate is supported by the inner platform. This facilitates the provision of support for the guide cylinder.
[0014] Preferably, a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the steamer to facilitate the drainage of water accumulated at the bottom of the steamer.
[0015] Preferably, the steam generator includes a water tank and an electric heating element disposed within the water tank. This facilitates the rapid provision of hot steam after heating.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This method can separate the corn kernels from each other, preventing them from sticking together. It allows the hot steam to come into even contact with the surface of the corn, improving the efficiency of steaming and avoiding the problem of poor appearance caused by compression.

[0021] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Example
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a special steaming device for corn includes a steam generator and a steam pot 4.
[0024] The steam generator is connected to the steamer 4 via pipe 3.
[0025] The steamer 4 has several vertically distributed support rods inside, and the upper end of the support rods is set as a pointed structure.
[0026] Each of the support rods is fitted with a guide cylinder 9, which is used for the corn to slide inside. Each of the guide cylinders 9 is relatively fixed, and the guide cylinder 9 is detachably connected to the steamer 4.
[0027] Among them, pipe 3, steamer 4 and steam generator need to be insulated.
[0028] When using the steamer, first place the guide cylinder 9 into the steamer 4, with the corresponding support rods, so that the support rods are in the middle of the guide cylinder 9. Then, slide the corn into the guide cylinder 9 and push it in with appropriate force so that the support rods are inserted into the corn cobs. The corn is supported by the support rods. Then, remove the guide cylinder 9. At this time, the corn is completely supported by the support rods and will not contact each other. Start the steam generator, and the generated steam enters the steamer 4 through the pipe 3. Since the corn does not contact each other, the steam can fully contact the outer edge of each corn cob, which can quickly and evenly steam the corn. The steaming efficiency is higher and more uniform. The corn is not squeezed and the finished product looks better.
[0029] The support rod includes a lower section 5 and an upper section 6, with the lower section 5 having a larger diameter than the upper section 6. The upper section 6 is inserted into the corn cob, and the lower section 5 is used to support the corn, preventing the support rod from being completely inserted into the corn cob and causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the steamer 4 and submerge the corn.
[0030] The system includes a discharge plate 7, which has through holes corresponding to each of the support rods. The discharge plate 7 is used to push the corn off the support rods when lifted upwards. A handle 12 is provided on the upward-facing discharge plate 7. After the corn is cooked, when it needs to be removed, the discharge plate 7 can be lifted upwards, causing it to separate the corn from the support rods, thus allowing all the corn to be removed quickly and efficiently. Through holes need to be provided between the corresponding guide cylinders 9 for the handle 12 to pass through.
[0031] The outer edge of the unloading plate 7 is provided with an upward-facing side plate 8 to prevent corn from slipping off the unloading plate 7.
[0032] The inner wall of the steamer 4 is surrounded by an inner platform 11, and the upper edge of the side plate 8 is rolled outward to fit the inner platform 11. The unloading plate 7 can be supported by the inner platform 11.
[0033] The guide cylinder 9 is fixed relative to the partition plate 10, and the outer edge of the partition plate 10 is supported by the inner platform 11. This facilitates the support of the guide cylinder 9.
[0034] A drain valve is installed at the bottom of the steamer 4 to facilitate the drainage of water accumulated at the bottom of the steamer 4.
[0035] The steam generator includes a water tank 1 and an electric heating element 2 installed inside the water tank 1. This facilitates the rapid supply of hot steam after heating.
[0036] It should be noted that the components set inside the steamer in this design can be grouped together and arranged in several layers to improve space utilization.
[0037] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0038] This method can separate the corn kernels from each other, preventing them from sticking together. It allows the hot steam to come into even contact with the surface of the corn, improving the efficiency of steaming and avoiding the problem of poor appearance caused by compression.
[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
