Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of commercial kitchen equipment, and in particular relates to a display steam cabinet platform based on steam guidance and emission to prevent scalding. Background Technology
[0002] A steamer is a large commercial kitchen appliance that uses heat sources such as electricity, gas, or electromagnetic induction to generate steam for cooking food. Its interior typically uses multiple layers of stainless steel steaming trays as containers, achieving efficient and even heating through steam penetration. It is suitable for cooking a variety of ingredients, including rice, noodles, seafood, and meat. Due to its high efficiency, energy saving, and large capacity, steamers are widely used in large canteens and catering establishments such as hotels, schools, factories, and hospitals to meet the needs of group catering.
[0003] However, the design of existing steam cabinets still has certain defects. For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN217471710U provides a multi-functional commercial steam cabinet, which does not have a protective design for steam emission when the steam cabinet door is opened after steaming. At the moment the steam cabinet door is opened, a large amount of high-temperature steam inside the steam cabinet will be ejected outward, posing a certain safety threat to people or objects outside the steam cabinet door. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a display steam cabinet platform based on steam guidance and emission to prevent scalding, including a steam cabinet body, a steam box is provided inside the steam cabinet body, a take-up and put-out port and a door covering the take-up and put-out port are provided on one side of the steam box, and a guide groove is provided above the take-up and put-out port of the steam cabinet body. The guide groove extends horizontally and the groove opening faces downward. An exhaust port is provided at one or both ends of the guide groove.
[0005] The main body of the steamer has a horizontally protruding outward beam above the loading and unloading port. The protruding direction of the outward beam is perpendicular to the extension direction. An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the outward beam. The L-shaped plate, the outward beam, and the side wall of the main body of the steamer form the guide groove.
[0006] The L-shaped plate has one or both ends integrally formed with side extensions extending toward the main body of the steamer. The side extensions do not contact the side wall of the main body of the steamer and form the exhaust port.
[0007] The expansion beam is also fixedly connected to an extension platform, which includes a snap-fit groove that matches the shape of the expansion beam. A worktable is mounted on one side of the top of the snap-fit groove via a hinge.
[0008] The steam cabinet body is equipped with a water tank, which contains a heating structure to form a steam generator. The water tank is connected to each steam chamber through separate steam pipes. A display stand is set on the top of the steam cabinet body. The water tank and steam chambers are connected to the display stand through independent steam pipes, and an independent steam outlet is set at the bottom of the display stand. A display board is set on the top of the display stand, and an external air hole is set on the display board.
[0009] The bottom of the display stand is equipped with a fixing hook, and a gas distribution groove is installed by the fixing hook. The top of the gas distribution groove is equipped with a locking strip hole that matches the fixing hook for locking. The gas distribution groove covers all steam outlets, and internal air holes are provided on the side wall of the gas distribution groove.
[0010] The display stand is equipped with a drain pipe at the bottom for draining water to the outside of the display steamer platform. The drain pipe is equipped with a drain valve and extends to the outside of the display steamer platform. A circulating water pipe is also provided at the bottom of the display stand, which is connected to a water tank.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A guide groove is provided above the loading and unloading port of the steamer. After steaming, the door is slightly opened first, allowing only a small amount of steam to gradually escape from the door gap. Due to the high temperature of the steam, it rises and enters the guide groove after escaping from the door gap. Guided by the guide groove, the steam is discharged to both ends. Only after all the steam has escaped can the door be fully opened for food loading and unloading. The combination of the door's obstruction and the guide groove prevents a large amount of high-temperature steam from being ejected from the steamer at once, thus avoiding a safety threat to people or objects outside the door, resulting in a higher safety factor.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] As attached Figure 1-9The illustrated steamer platform, based on steam-guided emission and anti-scalding design, includes a main body 1. Inside the main body 1 are three steam chambers 2 and a water tank 3, arranged sequentially along the length of the main body 1. The water tank 3 contains a heating structure that forms a steam generator. Each steam chamber 2 is connected to a separate steam pipe via a separate steam pipe. The heating structure in the water tank 3 converts electrical energy into heat energy, rapidly vaporizing the water to form steam. The steam is then delivered to each steam chamber 2 via independent steam pipes. The steam supply path for each steam chamber 2 is independent. By adjusting the valve opening of the corresponding pipe, the steam pressure and flow parameters can be adjusted to accommodate differences in the type or volume of food in different steam chambers 2. One side of each steam chamber 2 has a loading / unloading opening and a door covering it. Above the loading / unloading opening, the main body 1 has a horizontally protruding outward-extending beam 4. The outward-extending beam 4 extends along the length and width of the main body 1, with its protrusion direction perpendicular to its extension direction. An L-shaped plate 5 is fixedly installed on the outer beam 4. The L-shaped plate 5 can be made of stainless steel sheet metal by stamping or bending. The extension direction of the L-shaped plate 5 is the same as that of the outer beam 4. The L-shaped plate 5, the outer beam 4, and the side wall of the steam cabinet body 1 cooperate to form a guide groove 6 above the loading and unloading port. The guide groove 6 extends horizontally along the length of the steam cabinet body 1 with its opening facing downwards. Both ends of the L-shaped plate 5 are integrally formed with side extensions 7 extending towards the steam cabinet body 1. The side extensions 7 do not contact the side wall of the steam cabinet body 1, so that exhaust ports are formed at both ends of the guide groove 6, which are close to the side wall of the steam cabinet body 1. The length of the guide groove 6 is at least greater than the height of two people. In principle, the longer the guide groove 6, the better, to ensure that steam avoids the operator. When you are about to open the steamer 2 after steaming the food, first slightly open the door. This creates a gap between the door and the steamer 2, allowing steam to escape from the gap and rise. The rising steam will enter the guide channel 6, where it will be intercepted and flow towards both ends before being discharged from the exhaust ports at both ends of the guide channel 6. Only after the steam has been completely released should you continue to open the door. This avoids the problem of a large amount of high-temperature steam spraying towards the operator when opening the door, thus providing a higher safety factor.
[0023] The main body 1 of the steamer has a display stand 8 on top. The water tank 3 and three steam chambers 2 are all connected to the display stand 8 through independent steam pipes, and each display stand 8 has an independent steam outlet 9 at its bottom. When the steam chamber 2 is heating food, the waste heat steam accumulated at its top is guided through the steam pipe to the corresponding steam outlet 9 of the display stand 8, forming the main steam supply source. When the main steam supply is insufficient to maintain the heat preservation requirements of the display stand 8, the independent steam outlet 9 directly connected to the water tank 3 is activated, supplementing the supply with fresh steam that is not used for heating the steam chamber 2. When the steam chamber 2 is not heating food, the water tank 3 can be used as a separate steam source. By establishing two steam supply paths, both the directional recovery of waste heat steam and the maintenance of an independent fresh steam replenishment channel are achieved, maintaining the stable temperature of the display stand 8 while reducing energy waste.
[0024] The bottom of the display stand 8 is provided with four fixing hooks 10. The four fixing hooks 10 are arranged in a square array and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the display stand 8 along its length. A gas distribution groove 11 is installed by the four fixing hooks 10 together. The top of the gas distribution groove 11 is provided with four locking strip holes 12 that match the fixing hooks 10 for locking. The locking strip holes 12 are straight strip holes. The gas distribution groove 11 moves along a specific direction during installation to achieve locking or disengagement. The gas distribution groove 11 covers all steam outlets 9. The side wall of the gas distribution groove 11 is provided with internal air holes 13. The internal air holes 13 are used to divert steam laterally to the two sides of the display stand 8. The lateral diversion function of the gas distribution groove 11 can prevent steam from being released in a concentrated manner along the central axis, which would cause the central area to overheat. The bottom of the display stand 8 is equipped with two drain pipes 14 for draining water out of the display steamer platform. Each drain pipe 14 has a drain valve and extends outside the platform to direct the discharge of condensate or cleaning wastewater. The drain valve can be configured as a solenoid valve and linked to a water level sensor, automatically opening the drain when the water level exceeds a threshold. The bottom of the display stand 8 also has two circulating water pipes 15 connected to a water tank 3 to guide uncontaminated condensate back to the tank for reuse. The circulating water pipes 15 can be equipped with a filter to intercept impurities before being transported to the water tank 3. The top of the display stand 8 has a display panel 16 with external vents 17. Steam diffuses out through the vents 17, allowing the food placed on the display panel 16 to be heated, ensuring uniform cooking time and appearance during display. In practical applications, a transparent display cover made of tempered glass and a metal frame can also be installed above the display stand 8 to cover the display panel 16 and the food placed on it. The display steamer platform provided by this utility model achieves visual display while maintaining the steam heating function by constructing a top display stand 8.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, an extension platform 18 is also fixedly attached to the outer beam 4. The extension platform 18 includes a snap-fit groove 19 that matches the shape of the outer beam 4. A workbench 20 is mounted on one side of the top of the snap-fit groove 19 via a hinge. The extension platform 18 allows the workbench 20 to be rotated and opened when needed, expanding the working area on the display stand 8 and improving the user experience and flexibility.
[0026] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this 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 utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
